I recently brought Panasonic P11 Android Phone with a Li-Ion Battery of 2000 mAh. This battery is quite strong considering the latest Smartphone Battery Market. But still in my first day of use battery of my Panasonic P11 drained in just 3-4 hours. I was amazed how with such high power battery, only 3-4 hours of battery life for my smartphone? After that research started on how to increase the Battery Life of my Android Phone at least for 8 Working Hours a day. While experimenting many interesting facts came to my notice and which I like to share with you guys and hope that it will definitely help your battery to run much longer then the present. With small changes and tweaking, I am right now able to get a working battery life of 10-12 hours which is absolutely ok for me.

In Settings in Android Phones Go To Battery and there one can see the discharging details. Display Screen is one of the reason of quick discharge of Battery Life. GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Data Service active are another main reason for quick discharge of Battery Life. Also, Location Update Services and Apps Updates can also be seen as major reason for quick discharge of Battery Life.

10 Important Tips to Increase Battery Life:

1. Display: In Settings > Display - a) Reduce the Brightness Level as much as to your Possible Acceptable Level. Reduce Brightness Increases Battery Life. b) Keep the Sleep Timer to either 30 sec or at most 1 minute of inactivity.

2. Wi-Fi: In Settings > Wi-Fi - Turn Off the Wi-Fi and Turn On only when you are in need of it. Even in idle case Wi-Fi searches periodically Wi-Fi Zones nearby it, whether you use it or not. That's drains Battery Life.

3. Bluetooth: In Settings > Bluetooth -  Turn Off Bluetooth and Turn On only when you are in need of it.

4. Sound: In Settings > Sound - Try to minimise the Sound Volume to an acceptable level for Ringtone, Keypad and Rest. It increases Battery Life. Try to avoid Vibrate options as it eats up your battery. Uncheck Sound option which you thing are not as important.

5. Apps: In Settings > Apps -  Try to keep as little and as useful apps in your Android Phone. Even if you don't use all the Apps, they still try to search for the necessary updates and required jobs when Data Services, Wi-Fi and other services are active in background. If possible uninstall the unused apps from smartphones itself as it is readily available in Android Market.

6. Location Services: In Settings > Location Services - There are 3 kind of Services that is Google's location service, GPS satellites and Location & Google Search. Uncheck all. Put on the services when you actually want it to use. Click it occasionally or whenever any requirements comes as needed.
