How to Maximize Your Android Phone's Battery Life

Android phones are powerful little devices capable of helping you with many tasks. If you're lost, you can use GPS, if you need information, the browser is fast and allows access the entire web in a second, and if you still make calls, you can do that too.

You may have heard or noticed that the battery life on many droid phones is not nearly as long lasting as the phones of the previous generation. The problem with these incredible machines is that they pack a lot of computing power in a small space. There are physical limitations to powering the device without losing a lot of current. With the new

In any case, let's move on to the first battery life saving technique. First, always keep your phone on airplane mode when you are unable to use it. If you take the subway or enter a location where you can't get a signal, turn on airplane mode. A little trick is to personalize your main screen to have an airplane mode button on it.
Second, always keep your phone on a low brightness setting. I know one of the great features of these phones are their beautiful bright screens but if you want it to last, lower it as much as you can. This strategy can save about 5 hours of battery life on its own.

Finally, make sure all unnecessary programs are closed. If you click on links while using the browser you may have extra windows so make sure you close them. If you use Pandora or other apps, they will not turn off until you manually turn them off. Check your active programs often in the settings menu in order to see if you have any programs draining your battery.

Using these strategies will allow you to improve
