Few Battery Saving Tips !!!

Many of the features available on Android devices can cause batteries to become drained very quickly. Because of this, users of Android devices must intelligently and proactively manage the energy in their batteries.

1) Switch off Wifi scanning (this is a feature to scan for Wifi even if the the wifi is off)
2) Don't use auto brightness, use manual instead. Screen brightness set manually as per requirement & not on auto.
3) Toggle between 2G/3G as per requirement, especially considering 3G reception is still not great in India. Switch to 3G/2G if you are not using LTE network. Keep it manual !!!
4) Turn on locations(GPS) only when required.
5) Vibrate on keypress also switched off.
6) Refrain from using Live wallpapers. They eat-up huge amount of power !
7) Keep Widget usage to a minimum & keep as few home screens as possible. Mostly 2/3 Home Screens are sufficient !
8) Manually update apps switch off auto-updates as constant search for updates online does drain battery.
9) Set the Screen Time-out properly.
10) Kill all apps that you don't want running in the background.
11) Turn Off Google Now if not required.
12) Bluetooth,GPS, Wi-fi,NFC & other wireless features switched off when not required.
