I'm sure this question has been answered quite a lot of times on the forums here, but I'd simply like to gather all useful tips for extending my Android device's battery life, from the well-known "Turn off Wi-Fi when you're not around your hotspot" to "Allow only a few background services to run reducing CPU activity etc".
Just simple tweaks that do not require flashing any ROMs or root access in the first place.
Thanks!
Nothing will be as powerfull as rooting your device
(I know you didn't want to hear this kind of answer...
)
BUT may be u can use some informations:
- Turn mobile network to "2G"
- Disable autosync
- Lower brightness of display
- Reduce "display stay active" time
- When u have an AMOLED display, use a "black" skin for your rom
- Disable wifi notification
- "disable wifi"
- "Allow only a few background services to run"
A real improvement will be:
- root
- uninstall all the stupid preinstalled crap of your stockrom
- disable autostarts you dont need
- may be disable wakelocks of apps you need and which act a lot on their own
- install a kernel which allows you control cpu settings --> Scheduler/Governor + CPU frequencies (lowering CPU freq)
- or setting cpu freq profiles automatically + undervolt system

get a stronger battery
I hope other members will add some or many more usefull tips
