WHAT REALLY CAUSES YOUR PHONE BATTERY TO DRAIN FASTER?
This is one
important question that needs answer especially to the newbies on
Android devices. Yes it's true that some batteries are better than
others in capacity and durability but no matter how strong your battery
is, if you don't apply the good and necessary measures, you won't get
the best out of it. The major causes of fast battery discharge and
draining are:-
==> Running many applications in background
==> Increasing your phone screen light
==> Increasing the display time of your screen to more than 1 minute
==> Installing too many apps
==>
using too many chatting apps (all the chating apps uses live
notification and this works in your phone background even without your
knowledge)
==> Charging your battery with a non recommended charger or power source
==> Leaving your 3g network ON all the time even when not in use
==>
using VPN apps for free browsing (yes all the VPN apps run in
background and contributes to your battery draining too fast)
==> Not having a good battery app or task killer app on your phone
==> Not clearing cache files of some apps on your phone.
etc
If
you hate to see those warning red signals on your phone for low
battery, then use this steps to minimize it. This tutorial will not do
magic for you ooo. But it will improve your battery performance to the
nearest minimum. I have written posts on how to extend battery life of
phones using battery doctor app and greenify but today I will be doing
it with yet another task killing application that equally works good.
Though
phone manufacturers like Gionee, Infinix mobility and even Tecno have
started producing nice smartphones with very good battery life, but some
brothers and sisters here are still wallowing in the forest of bad
phone batteries.
Therefore you are reading this because you need your battery to start lasting longer than before.
HOW WILL I MAKE MY SMARTPHONE BATTERY LAST LONGER?
In
this post, I am introducing an app called Advanced Task Killer (ATK).
This app is a very important tool used to kill applications and clean
phone memory.
HOW TO USE ADVANCED TASK KILLER APP
ATK is really
simple to use. Just launch it after downloading and installing it,
checkout all the running applications list. Uncheck some apps you don’t
want to kill (such as Advanced Task Killer and some system apps) Now
click the button Kill selected apps, it will kill all applications that
you selected by checking the box.
MANAGING IGNORE LIST
Ignore list
is a list of apps you don't want task killer to kill. These apps are
mainly your system apps and few chat apps like Whatsapp. This is
because, once the task killer kills Whatsapp, you will no longer receive
Whatsapp message notifications but your messages will be there waiting
for the time you launch your Whatsapp again.
This is applicable to
all other apps that uses notification. Like every other thing in life,
there is always a disadvantage in every advantage.
When you want to
add or remove application from the list, you long press on the app
listed on the list, you long press on the app listed on the main screen
of ATK, the menu will pop up, then you can select Ignore, and the
application would be moved to the apps ignore list. When you tap ‘Kill
selected apps’, it won’t be killed those apps on ignore list.
Other task killing apps and antivirus apps also have ignore list.
USING AUTO KILL FEATURE?
This
is done when you want to kill background running apps automatically
without long pressing them one after the other. There are auto app
killer mode you can choose from.
– Safe: This mode Only kills the apps that aren’t running but still consume phone's memory.
– Aggressive: This mode Kills the apps running background and apps that aren’t running.
–
Crazy: This one kills all apps except for apps you are using with. It
is the one applied whenever your battery is about to drain empty. But if
your phone battery is generally bad, you should use the crazy mode
always to milk out some battery juice that lasts a little longer
There is also another option called autokill frequency which you can also use.
Apart from ATK, you can download greenify from playstore. It is also a nice battery saving app.
These task killers not only saves battery, but they make your phone run faster with minimal lagging
