Smartphone batteries cannot last all day, allowing us\u00a0to surf the Web and crush candies to our\u00a0heart\u2019s content, \u00a0and sometimes die two hours after we\u00a0unplug them.\u00a0Today Australia reliable smartphone batteries supplier: AussieBatt share the\u00a0tricks\u00a0you can do to greatly improve your Samsung Galaxy S5 phone\u2019s battery life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe directions will vary slightly, depending on your smartphone\u2019s settings.\u00a0With that out of the way, here are the best ways to improve your cell phone phone\u2019s battery life<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

1.\u00a0<\/strong>Disable WiFi
\n<\/strong>When your smartphone\u2019s WiFi is turned on and you\u2019re not connected to a WiFi network, it will continuously search for available connections. This will, in turn, hurt your phone\u2019s battery life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

To turn off your phone\u2019s WiFi when not using it, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the notifications drawer and, if the Wi-Fi<\/strong> icon is green, tap it to turn it gray.<\/p>\n

If there isn\u2019t a Wi-Fi<\/strong> button in your notifications drawer, then open theSettings<\/strong> menu and select the Wi-Fi<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n

Find the switch at the top of the screen and flip it to the Off<\/strong> position. Your WiFi radio should now be turned off.<\/p>\n

2. Disable Vibrate
\n<\/strong>Sometimes the only way you\u2019ll notice your phone is ringing is through its vibrate feature. But it can also drain your phone\u2019s battery faster than you\u2019d like, especially if you\u2019re getting a lot of calls or notifications. It can be even worse if your phone vibrates whenever you touch the screen.<\/p>\n

3. Turn off the GPS
\n<\/strong>Galaxy S5\u2019s GPS is an incredibly helpful tool when you\u2019re in need of directions. But when you\u2019re not using it, your GPS is just sapping your phone\u2019s battery power.\u00a0If you\u2019re not using the GPS, then open your phone\u2019s notifications drawer and press the GPS button to gray it out and disable the GPS radio.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

4. Lower Galaxy S5 display brightness
\n<\/strong>The majority of your smartphone\u2019s power is consumed by its display. So it follows that lowering your phone\u2019s display brightness will save a good amount of Nokia BL-4S Battery<\/a>\u00a0life.<\/p>\n

To reduce your phone\u2019s screen brightness, pull down the notifications drawer and disable auto-brightness by unchecking the box next to the brightness slider.<\/p>\n

Next, lower the brightness slider. The dimmer your screen, the less battery you\u2019re sucking up to power it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

5. Switch off Bluetooth
\n<\/strong>Your smartphone\u2019s Bluetooth radio allows it to connect to other devices such as Bluetooth headsets and speakers. But when it\u2019s not in use, it\u2019s just eating into your Samsung i8910 Battery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To turn off Bluetooth, open your phone\u2019s notifications drawer and tap the Bluetooth icon to turn it gray.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have Bluetooth saved in your notifications drawer, then open the Settings<\/strong> menu and choose the Bluetooth<\/strong> tab.<\/p>\n

Tap the switch at the top of the screen to turn it to the Off<\/strong> position. Your phone\u2019s Bluetooth radio should now be off.<\/p>\n

6. Turn on Power Saving mode
\n<\/strong>Samsung\u2019s newer Galaxy smartphones come with a special Power Saving mode that can easily improve your handset\u2019s battery life.\u00a0As with each of the above examples, check the notifications drawer to see if there is a Power Saving mode quick setting.<\/p>\n

On\u00a0Galaxy S5 smartphone you can select either Power saving mode<\/strong> orUltra power saving mode<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The standard Power Saving mode will let you cut down on your phone\u2019s processing power, block apps from accessing background data, and even set the display to show grayscale rather than colors.<\/p>\n

7. Turn off Sync
\n<\/strong>In order for your phone to receive updates from Facebook, Twitter, Email and other apps, it has to repeatedly send requests to them to see if you have any messages. This process is referred to as syncing.<\/p>\n

Normally, syncing doesn\u2019t chew up much of your phone\u2019s battery life, but if your handset is almost dead, or you\u2019re not going to be near a charger for a while, you might want to disable syncing.<\/p>\n

If you have the sync icon in your phone\u2019s notifications drawer, you can simply turn it off by tapping it until it\u2019s gray.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
