Some of you may have Android phone with low battery capacity like my phone :( you should get rid of this 5 things to improve battery life on your Android phone.
1. Games
I'm not mentioning all the games which are available on Play store. Heavy games tend to consume more battery juice and often heat up your Android phone. The best way to solve this problem is by uninstalling those games which remained unopened for weeks.
Few games such as Clash of clans, Hay day, Candy crush saga drains the battery much faster than other game applications. Due to large background process and network connectivity, these games exhaust battery.
Recommended tip:
- Try using WiFi instead of mobile data while playing games.
- Put your Android phone on flight mode while playing games if it doesn't require a network.
2. Facebook:
Facebook Android app is the next culprit which uses battery life more than any other applications. It always runs in the background to sync data and fetches new notifications from the server. If Facebook notifications are not that important to you, then uninstall the Facebook application from your Android phone.
Facebook app also reduces your phone processing speed, HowToMen youtube channel has made a video which shows significant variation in the processing speed of phone without and with the Facebook app installed.
