Luckily, there are a few different ways that you can improve your phone\u2019s battery life so that you can enjoy all of the new updates that your Android has to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One way that you can preserve your phone\u2019s battery life is to use DFNDR\u2019s Total Charge feature. Total Charge will observe your phone\u2019s charging process, and send you notifications on its status, including when your phone has finished charging. That way, you\u2019ll never overcharge your phone\u2019s battery. This will help to protect your battery from the damage that overcharging can cause, and extend your battery\u2019s life. Be sure to activate this feature so that you monitor your device whenever you charge your phone. Click here to activate Total Charge now:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"psafe:\/\/launch\/total_charge\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3583\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3583\" src=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/BOTAO_EN_total_charge_02-2.png\" alt=\"BOTAO_EN_total_charge_02 (2)\" width=\"300\" height=\"78\" \/><\/a><\/center><b><br \/>\nBe Aware of Your Battery Life<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your phone\u2019s short battery life is more than just an annoying quirk \u2014 it often points to underlying issues with your phone. If you have chronic issues with your phone\u2019s battery immediately after getting a new phone, then you may have received a bad battery. The best option in this case is to return the phone for a new one. Nonetheless, phone batteries aren\u2019t designed to last for all that long \u2014 their strength will fade after a year or two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason it\u2019s important to be aware of your phone\u2019s battery life is that your phone uses a Lithium-ion battery that has a finite number of charges. That\u2019s why you want to avoid overcharging your device, or running it ragged. Pay attention to the apps that take up a lot of power on your phone, and disable the ones that you can \u2014 you can do this in your phone\u2019s settings. If necessary, you can also activate your phone\u2019s power saving mode, which will drastically reduce the number of tasks that your phone is performing.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes, various smartphone updates can drain your battery life.
