\"Deeplink_unusedapps\"<\/a><\/center>Widgets<\/b><\/p>\n

Weather, news, and social media widgets on your home screen are there to give you real-time updates. But did you know that these are also battery drainers? This is because they\u2019re often vibrantly-colored and always syncing. If you don\u2019t need a widget, you should press and drag it to the trashcan icon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Signal Search<\/b><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in a low-signal or a no-signal area, your phone doesn\u2019t know what\u2019s going on. If you let your phone function normally there, it will keep looking for a signal over and over again. To prevent your phone from draining its battery, flip it to Airplane Mode instead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over- and Under-Charging <\/b><\/p>\n

Your phone\u2019s battery functions the best if you keep it between 40% and 80% battery. Don\u2019t let the phone\u2019s charge drop below 40% \u2014 if you let the battery drop low and then recharge again to full, you\u2019ll shorten the battery\u2019s life overall. Additionally, don\u2019t let your phone keep charging when it\u2019s already full.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vibrating <\/b><\/p>\n

Vibrate mode is one of the worst settings for your battery life. Either turn your phone completely to silent or turn on the ringers. To change, head to \u201cSettings\u201d and \u201cSound,\u201d and then uncheck \u201cVibrate for Calls.\u201d If you navigate to \u201cLanguage and keyboard,\u201d you can also uncheck \u201cVibration feedback,\u201d which is the vibration that happens when you type \u2014 another major battery drainer.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
