| Battery Saving Tips For Windows 10 Mobile |
Having said that, no matter how much battery backup you get, you always some a little something more. And of course, that's why you're reading this article. Alright, lets see how can we get at least 40% extra juice out of your current battery. You may already be aware with some of these tips, so I recommend you to follow the rest:
1. Turn off Location
I can't stress this enough. But GPS uses as much as 16.7% battery compared to idle state (per hour). To turn it off (when you don't need), just open your Action center by swiping your phone screen from top to middle, and un-highlight the Location option.
2. Turn off NFC
This is a feature that remains turned on by default in many of the phones. To turn this off, got to your phone's Setttings > Devices > NFC. Then turn off the option from there.
3. Turn off Bluetooth
Share.it has been here for quite sometime and honestly, I don't remember when was the last time I used Bluetooth. To turn off Bluetooth, go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth and turn it off.
4. Turn off Mobile Internet
When you use Wi-Fi, you don't need to keep your Mobile Internet on. To turn off your mobile data, just go to Settings > Network and Wireless > Mobile & SIM > Data connection. You can simply turn off data connection from there.
5. Turn off Background apps
Multiple background apps running eats a huge amount of battery. You can easily find out which apps use the most and can prevent them from running in the background. To turn them off, go to Settings > Battery > Battery usage by app. This window will show you which apps use the most battery in the background. Simply click on any such app, and choose 'Never allowed in background'.
6. Use a dark theme
Luckily, we have a built-in dark theme for Windows 10 Mobile which can save you a lot of battery. To use a dark theme, go to Settings > Personalization > Colours. And then, under 'Choose your mode', select 'Dark'.
Note: This tip is specially effective if your phone has a OLED or AMOLED display type.
7. Use a dark wallpaper
Even changing your wallpeper to a dark one can help you save some battery. Its simple. Just download a dark wallpaper for your phone, then go to Settings > Personalization > Start > Browse. Select the wallpaper you wanted to use.
8. Reduce your screen brightness
Changing the screen brightness from high to low can save you a lot of battery. Simply go to Settings > System > Display. Under 'Adjust brightness level', choose Low.
Note: DO NOT use 'Change brightness automatically when lighting changes'. This will make your phone's Ambient Sensor remain active all the time and use some battery.
9. Shorten screen time-out time
To decrease your screen's display duration, go to Settings > Personalization > Lockscreen and under 'Screen times out after', choose '1 minute' or '3 minutes'.
10. Sync email less frequently
You don't need to sync your mail every one minute unless you're a heavy user. Go to Settings > Accounts > Email & app accounts. Select the account that you want to change, and then select Manage > Change mailbox sync settings. Under Download new email, choose a longer time of interval.
11. Sync contacts and calendars less frequently
Go to Settings > Accounts > Email & app accounts. Select the account that you want to change, and then select Manage > Change mailbox sync settings. Under Sync contacts and calendars, choose a longer time of interval.
12. Limit what you pin
Don't pin too many apps to your start screen. Putting too many apps will turn all of them into Live tiles, needing them to update the information all the time. For apps that don't really have anything to show on the Live Tile, simply resize them to icons by long-pressing the app icon and adjusting the size to an icon.
13. Limit what you upload
Don't upload all the Camera Roll pictures to OneDrive (unless its very important to you). You should only upload the photos that you think are important and may need later. To change this setting, Go to Settings > Devices > Default camera > Manage OneDrive upload settings, and then turn off the camera upload setting form there.
14. Let your phone completely charge
Don't charhe your phone until the battery falls below 10%. And once you've plugged in for charging, let it charge to 100% before you unplug it.
15. Bonus tip!
Use Airplane Mode while charging! (Note: You will miss the calls while Airplane Mode is ON).
Your phone will charge at a much faster rate in Airplane Mode as compared to idle state. To turn on Airplane Mode, go to Settings > Network & Wireless > Airplane Mode.
