3.              Turn off Radio/Network:

It sometimes happens that our phone cannot able to connect to the network or signals are not proper that’s not the problem but the main problems is that your phone constantly trying to get as maximum signals as possible and to do so it scanning for the network again and again so it can drain the battery and even make your phone discharge so it’s important and good idea to stop scanning while network is not proper especially  it happens in remote areas or in village area quite frequently.

To save your battery you manually turn off the network scanning to do so you can Power off the phone completely or the best option is to Turn on the airplane mode.

The airplane mode turn network scanning off and save battery for you and at any time you can turn it off and start using your network again.

4.              Turn off Google Assistant:

Don’t get me wrong here the google assistant is great tool and we use it on daily basis but do you know how it start when you say “Ok Google” it constantly recording your voice to start it’s functioning and it consume lot’s of battery because it continuously recording the sound.

The button to off the google assistant it not in setting it is hided in setting to disable google assistant go to Google > More > Settings > Google Assistant > Assitant tab > Phone.

5.              Don’t use Any Antivirus Application:

One of the most common mistakes done by people is to use antivirus now If you are using a android smartphone then probably you don’t need any antivirus application to be install on your phone because Android is smart enough that automatically remove virus and android is based on Linux kernel so it’s very safe.

If you install any antivirus application then it continuously scanning your device even in background also so it requires more resource which ultimately drain the battery.

So my recommendation is not to use any antivirus application on your device but if you want you can have it but it only create an extra burden on your android device.

6.              Don’t use Any Battery Saver Application:

As I don’t recommend to use any Antivirus application, I also don’t recommend to use any Battery Saver application.

Now why not to use any battery saver application the reason it what they do to save your battery. To save your battery this battery saver applications kill the process of other application and clear cache also.

This is not helpful because when you open any app it’s start the process again but this time from beginning because it is killed by battery saver application and now they don’t have any cache so that they need to done again all the process from the start and it consume resources heavily and drain battery so to avoid battery drain and improve battery life of your android phone don’t use any battery saver application.

7.              Turn off Auto Brightness:

Now this cannot boost or improve your android battery to ultimate level. To adjust phone brightness as per the light, condition the mobile phone need to use some sensors and it will increase load on phone and your battery drain quickly.

So to get some more battery you can disable the auto brightness feature and you can set brightness manually as per your needs.

8.              Turn off Automatic WI-FI:

Since the Android 8.0(Oreo) update, Android comes with a feature that continuously scanning for open Wi-Fi networks even if you disabled Wi-Fi. It's an handy feature but it consume a good amount of battery but don't worry you can manually disable it, open Settings > Network & internet > Wi-Fi. Under Wi-Fi preferences, untick the activate Wi-Fi automatically option.

9.              Use Lite Apps:
