How to save battery on your android phone

Well, android phone have been praised everywhere for their performance capabilities, but when it comes to battery life, some phones may suck at it. So, here are some steps which you can follow to make your Droid last more than a day*

Deactivate Wifi when not needed

Yes, wifi is a huge battery eater. If you are done downloading stuff or syncronising data, you should deactivate wifi. It will really save a lot of battery. You can also use 3rd Party apps like Tasker, to easily schedule when to turn off wifi. You may also install the power widget on your homescreen so that it is easier for you to Switch ON or OFF wifi.

Use Mobile Network when necessary

This time, I won't ask you to disable mobile network completely. Instead, it is better if you use only 2G internet. 3G consumes a lot of battery and incur data charges. But, if you use 2G data, your battery will be saved to a great extent. Go to Settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks . Tick the Use only 2G networks.

Disable GPS when not required

Yes, you guessed it right. GPS can suck up the battery juice quite fast. So, use it only when you require it.

Use wallpapers wisely

It's better not to use live wallpapers on your phone. It may reduce your battery life. Also, use dark still wallpapers on the background.

Reduce vibrations and sounds

Vibrations, haptic feedback,etc use a lot of battery. It's better to switch it off if you are used to touchscreens. Also, reduce sound levels if you want.

Use less widgets on homescreen

Using less network oriented widgets like facebook widget, news widgets, etc might reduce battery life since they constantly work in the background. 

That's it. I have mentioned quite a few ways through which you can quite improve the battery life. Though, it may depent on your phone's make or model.
