In the early days of Android it was a real chore to reach the end of a busy day with battery life left. That’s improved over time but it can still sometimes be difficult to get through a busy day without running the battery dry.

It’s not common knowledge but some folks in the know ensure me that letting the phone get too hot can impact the battery life. I’m told the impact on the battery is particularly noticeable at 95 degrees and above so if you live in a hot climate as I do you’d better keep the phone out of the heat.If it’s very hot outside you don’t want to be walking in the heat with your phone in hand, as that exposes it directly to the heat. Keep the phone in a bag or a pocket as much as possible to keep.

This is obvious but worth mentioning. The display on Android phones is the biggest drain of battery, so it makes sense to turn it down as low as possible. This can add hours of life to the battery. Android phones have an auto-brightness setting that automatically adjusts the screen brightness based on ambient room light. This normally works fine but when trying to sqeeze the most up-time on a charge it is worth turning off.

Android phones will automatically dim and then turn off the display after a set interval. It’s worth setting this interval as short as possible which will have a good impact on battery life. Some Samsung Galaxy phones, like my Note 2, have another setting called Smart stay. This prevents the screen from dimming and timing out if it detects the user is looking at the screen.
