You can charge your phone two times less because it has many useless features enabled by default. Most people dont use or even know about these features but they still run. Drain your battery and slow down your phone as they run in the background. what these features are and how to disable them to make your phone work faster and last longer on the single charge.
Scan for nearby Devices
The first feature you should turn off is here. Head to main settings. After this scroll down to Google and tap on that. Here tap all services scroll down little bit and tap on devices as sharing after this tap on devices this feature scanned for nearby devices constantly scans the environment using Bluetooth to check if there are any devices nearby that you can connect to. It drains the battery a lot and it’s not necessary because if you want to connect to another device, for instance to send a photo or video, you can simply turn on Bluetooth, find the device and connect. And there are no need for your phone to constantly check for nearby Bluetooth devices. So we turn off this feature.
Our phone has one more of the same feature, but it’s from the phone developers, not Google. In the main settings, scroll all the way up and here tap on search to find and turn off this feature. We will use search in the settings because this feature can be located in different places on different phones. So insert type nearby and here you can find nearby device scanning. Tap on that after this, tap on nearby device scanning again and it says that your phone will scan for devices nearby and let you connect to them in a pop up or in the notification panel, your phone will scan the devices even when Bluetooth is turned off. As we see this feature does the same as the previous one. So we turn off to avoid wasting the phone battery. Turn it off.
Turn it off
Did you know that your phone is constantly looking for a printer to connect to? This is another useless feature that quickly drains the battery phone’s battery and slows it down. To find this feature, head to main settings so that everyone can find it on their own phone. tap on sort and now type printing type printing as I do here you can find printing. Tap on that, tap on printing again and tap on default print services as we see your phone constantly search for printers. So turn off this feature.
Back to the main page of settings. After this scroll all the way down and tap on digital wellbeing and parental controls. After this in the upper right hand corner of the screen tap on this icon and as we see this feature constantly monitor what we do on our phone including how many times we use our phone per day. We can see this information here and how much time we spend in each application. This information we can see here and then you can look at the report about it. Most people don’t use this feature. It turns out that this feature runs unnecessarily, slowing down our phone and drains the battery faster. So in the upper left hand corner of the screen tap back. Then in the upper right hand corner of the screen tap on three dots. Tap on settings and here tap on usage data access. Tap on that after this tab settings and turn off the switch next to allow permission.
Again to main page of settings. Scroll all the way up and tap on search in search type notifications as I do scroll little bit down and tap on app notifications tap on that tap on app notifications again. Here we see a list of apps that can send us notifications but we dont need all apps to send notifications because it drains the battery. It worth searching this list and keeping only the apps from which we really want to receive notifications. For instance, do you need notifications from Galaxy Tamesen? No, because you don’t even use it. But do you need notifications for example from WhatsApp? Yes, because you won’t know when someone messages you.
Turn it On
And now let’s talk about the feature worth turning on to extend phone battery life as long as possible, head to main settings on your phone after this. In the upper right hand corner of the screen, tap on search and type in search battery. Type battery and tap on battery. After this tap on battery protection since keeping the phone battery at 100% for a long time harms it. For instance when the phone is on charge for a long time, developers created a feature called battery protection to prevent this. If we turn on this feature after this choose basic. Then when we leave the phone on charge and it reaches 100%, charges will stop until the battery drops to 95%. Then it will start charging again preventing harm from along charges. This is an especially useful feature for those who like to leave their phone on charge all night, so recommend turn it on.
