Saving Energy Tips for my Samsung Android mobile

Samsung Android Smartphone/Tablet battery consumption rate is always higher compare with non-Smartphone. A normal battery consumption rate is as it depends enormously on how the device is used: from which apps are used and for how long to how much memory is available and what environmental temperatures the device is exposed to.

There are many means to extend the life of your battery by re-configuring certain functions and features to curb their power consumption rates, and the steps on how to do so are presented below. If you are sure, however, that the fast rate at which your battery drains is due to a fault then please skip to the sections on updating your device's software.

Adjust Power Saving Mode

The Power saving mode lets you set your device to conserve battery power.

- CPU power saving: Limit the maximum performance of the CPU to conserve battery power.

- Screen power saving: Use a low power level for your device's screen to conserve battery power.

- Turn off haptic feedback: Turn the haptic feedback option off to conserve battery power.

Adjust your display settings

Quit active applications that you aren't using

Restrict mobile data use to areas in which you have a strong signal

Mobile data connections in areas of low signal strength use a lot of power so it's recommended you use your mobile data connection only when in areas of strong signal strength, which you can easily determine by checking the signal strength bars in the Notification Panel.

Turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS connections when you don't need them

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS all have high power consumption rates so it's best to leave them off when you're not using them. It's fast and easy to toggle these connections on and off through the Quick Panel menu.

Perform a Software Update

If you suspect a software bug is causing your battery to drain unusually quickly we recommend checking for a new software update for your device (the updates can include fixes for such bugs).

Perform a Factory Reset

Please note you need only perform a factory reset if you suspect the rapid rate at which your device's battery drains to be due to a fault, and not simply heavy use coupled with inefficient power management settings. Please make sure you have tried fixing the problem with a software update first.

If your battery still drains abnormally quickly after the factory reset there may be a fault with the battery or your device's hardware. Please click here to find the contact details of your nearest Samsung service centre to arrange for an engineer to inspect your device.
