Recently I’ve found myself trapped in several hopeless situations. And by that I mean my phone is always running low on battery. Determined to solve my problem, I did a little research to see how I can prolong my smartphone’s battery life. Now I want to share it with all of you! Here are some great ones:
- Turn the phone at night when you are sleeping or when you are not using it
- Turn off the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
- Don’t turn on the flash when you use the camera
- Lower screen brightness to AutoSave setting
- Close applications when not using
- Don’t search for a signal as it is the biggest consumer of battery life!
- Don’t let it completely go out of battery
- Avoid the heat
- Turn off GPS Tracking
- Limit the screen timeout
- Turn off notifications and syncing

I was searching for some articles about “Make Battery Last Longer” today and i came across your page: http://blogs.rochester.edu/thegreendandelion/2014/01/students-corner-72/
I noticed that you linked to one of my favorite articles- “How to make your smartphone battery last longer” http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-make-your-cell-phone-battery-last-longer/
Just wanted to give you a heads up that I created a similar. It’s “62 Factors To Make Battery Life Last Longer”, but more thorough and up to date: http://batterychargersexpert.com/make-battery-life-last-longer/
Might be worth a mention on your page.
Let me know your opinion.
Either way, keep up the awesome work!

Wow! This is a very useful page and I really enjoyed reading article and all users’ comments. Recycling is one of the best ways for people to have a positive impact on the world. It has many benefits and make the world a much cleaner and greener place to live in. I think it should be a responsibility that everyone should take upon themselves.
