How to Increase Smart Phone Battery Life

Smartphones are truly amazing devices, and due to their expansive capabilities they can drain battery life rather quickly.  It can be a real pain to have to charge your phone over and over again and with a few simple tips, you can learn on how to get the most out of your smartphone by increasing the time you can use it and decreasing the time you have to spend charging it.

• Most Smartphones have a WiFi option that allows you to connect to local internet within a certain distance. This is very helpful in phones that do not have a data plan, but if you do have a data plan you have your WiFi on all the time, you are murdering your batter life. Most phones, like mine, have a simple and easy switch that allows you to turn off your WiFi. It is hard task for the little processor in your phone, with a limited battery source, to constantly be connecting to a WiFi network and retrieving information. If you turn this off, you will find your batter will go a lot further resulting in an increased time spend running your favorite apps and programs, and less time connecting to that dreaded charger.

• Not everyone has a Bluetooth device, and not everyone uses their Bluetooth device all of the time. Most phones automatically connect or look for Bluetooth devices when your phone is running which is very strainuous on your batter life. Much similar to WiFi, this problem can be easily solved with a simple switch from on to off. If you do not have a Bluetooth or are not using it, make sure this setting is off and you will have loads of battery life that you will not even know what to do with.
