As you run a PowerPRO scan, you might see some surprising reasons your battery is draining so quickly. Here are a few major battery sucks that surprised us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your Apps Keep Running in the Background<\/b><\/p>\n

You might think your apps aren\u2019t running because you aren\u2019t using them, but really, many apps continue to refresh throughout the day. If PowerPRO says that one of your apps is using a lot of battery, you can bet that it\u2019s continuously refreshing. To fix this problem, you can disable background activity on just that app or you can be safe and disable background activity on all your apps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your Phone Settings Are Draining Your Battery<\/b><\/p>\n

Some of the biggest surprising battery-draining culprits are screen brightness and vibrate mode. Conserve battery by turning your screen brightness down \u2014 or, if you have a new phone, turning on the setting that lets it change brightness based on its surroundings. Vibrate mode is another problem; instead of putting your phone on vibrate, turn your ringer either off or on.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve Set Your Phone to Automatic Sync<\/b><\/p>\n

Other apps, especially document creation and photo apps, often back up your documents several times throughout the day. If you find that your battery is draining quickly or that you don\u2019t need to have your files so regularly updated, you can set your phone to <\/span>only sync manually<\/span><\/a>, when you tell it to sync.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve figured out the battery-draining culprits, you\u2019ll be better informed about what apps to remove and what changes to make in order to extend your battery life. If none of these solutions make a difference, though, you likely have a faulty battery on your hands.<\/span><\/p>\n
