“First of all, you should check the condition of the battery: if its capacity is above 80%, then the battery is in good condition, if the capacity is less than 80%, you need to contact a service center to replace it in order to avoid sudden shutdown of the smartphone,” advised expert.

If for various reasons it is not possible to replace the battery, then you need to audit the installed applications and find out which of them (or several) are excessively consuming the device’s charge.

“Delete unnecessary programs, disable background applications: even if they are not opened by the user, they still continue to download updates, send notifications and statistics,” he said.

In addition, the expert recommended observing incomplete recharge cycles for the smartphone.

“In this case, we mean a charge from 0 to 100%, respectively. A smartphone battery is usually designed for 400-500 charge cycles, but if you do not charge the battery to 0, the number of charge and discharge cycles will increase significantly. In this case, the determining value is the depth of discharge - the percentage of charge that was used. For example, if your smartphone has 30% charge left, then the depth of discharge is 70%,” explained RT’s interlocutor.

In addition, he says, it is worth turning off functions that are not needed at a particular moment, such as GPS and Bluetooth.

“Also, do not forget that using Wi-Fi loads the device much less than a mobile network, so try to connect to wireless networks. It also makes sense to reduce the brightness of the screen and shorten its timeout, that is, the time after which it goes out in the absence of user action,” the specialist noted.

According to Shutov, you should not neglect regularly checking your smartphone for malware.

“The virus affects the overall performance of the gadget: the phone starts to work slower, heats up quickly, and runs out of battery power unusually quickly,” he explained.

Also, according to him, if the smartphone is equipped with an OLED display, then black screen wallpaper can significantly save battery.

“By 20-30% with the home screen always on,” the expert concluded.

Earlier, Shutov told in a conversation with RT what rules should be followed to ensure that the use of electric scooters is safe.
