A smartphone without a battery is useless. With every iOS update, we find battery complaints, and when iOS 7 was released we presented an article to fix battery problems - see this linkThen, iOS 7.1 was released and caused more battery complaints that we mentioned in detail in this link. We have also provided some tips that may help solve it. But as it was clear, the summary of the tips is to close everything and all the advantages, and you will see the system is good. It is illogical to clarify between two options: either get the advantage and sacrifice the battery or get "nothing" with a good battery. But "Scotty Lovelace", a former Apple employee and expert, provided on his page tips for getting the best battery without losing the benefits, and in this article we get to know Scottie's advice.

An Apple expert provides battery advice

Scottie said it's not uncommon that they hear complaints about the battery with every update, and some are even willing to complain in advance about the battery in the next update. But he confirmed that 99.9% of the battery problems he encountered while working at Apple were not caused by the iOS system itself. But he will reveal the advice he used to provide to the customer when he visited the Apple store to complain about the battery.

Battery breakdown test

Before we begin explaining the tricks, you must first make sure that you are really suffering from a battery problem, by using the following:

  1. Go to settings, then general, then use, and at the bottom you will find numbers, which are "times of the last full charge", which are divided into two parts. The first is "use" and displays your use of the device, and the second "readiness" is the time the device has remained since the last full charge. Record the two numbers.
  2. Press the power button once to turn off the "Lock" screen, and leave the device on the table and do not touch it.
  3. Wait 5 minutes, then unlock your device again and record the new numbers.
  4. Now it is normal for you to find the second number “Standby” increased for 5 minutes. As for usage, your device was in standby mode. It is normal for the number to remain the same or more than 1 minute only.
  5. If you find the first number "usage" increased by more than 1, you have a problem You should try the following solutions:

1

Facebook problem:

According to Scottie, for one reason or another, the Facebook application consumes energy in an exaggerated manner, and because it is intensively used and at various times, the system gives it a high priority in updating applications in the background, the solution: turn off the application update in the background and also the location services for Facebook. According to Scottie, turning off the previous two services improved the battery by 5%.

2

See apps:

Review the apps that are allowed to run in the background (Settings, General, and Background App Update), and any app that you think quality is not important, close it. After that, go to notifications and close them to any annoying game or app that you don't use and it sends you a lot of notifications.

3

Do not close applications in multitasking:

Are you someone who likes to close all applications in multitasking by double pressing the home button and then swiping up? Then you are increasing the battery consumption of your device. In the beginning and to clarify, having applications in multitasking does not consume processor or increase battery usage - refer to our previous article Via this link- These apps will not even work unless you did the update in their background. In other words, the bottom line is that these applications only occupy memory, and as soon as the system needs memory, it will close it and remain an icon symbolizing that this application has been opened, meaning that it does not consume energy.

Let's watch how closing it increases battery consumption, open the Twitter application, browse it, close the application, press the home button twice, and close the application. And now the device is running to empty the memory from the application. Then, after a while, you open Twitter again and the system works to load the application into memory and then repeat the example. Emptying, filling, emptying and filling the memory increases energy consumption, and imagine this with every application you use.

Instant Email Notifications:

 The great thing about smart devices is the instant notifications service of the arrival of new mail, but this is very consuming. If your business or use does not need to follow up the mail immediately, it is preferable to go to settings then “mail, contacts and calendar” and change “fetch new data” instead From "Push" that makes the e-mail reach you immediately, so it turns it into fetching “Fetch”. This makes the system search your mail for emails every specific period and choose it for an hour, for example. Or even make it manual, meaning that it does not search for emails except when opening the application. This greatly improves battery consumption, especially if your mail is receiving a lot of e-mails.

5

Dealing with networks:

One of the things that consumes the device’s power the most is the network. Opening the Internet “Data” means an additional connection to the networks, meaning your device is connected twice, once for calls and messages, and once for the Internet. When you are located in a place with weak networks, here the device increases the energy sent to the "internet" in order to clamp the quality of better networks. So here are tips for improving battery and network handling:

  1. If you are in a place with weak network, it is preferable to turn off 3G.
  2. When connecting to the Internet via Wi-Fi, turn off data.
  3. If you are in the street and do not browse the Internet a lot, that is, you just want to call and receive notifications, it is better to turn off 3G.
  4. If the network does not exist, i.e. there is no network notification appears here, we recommend that you activate Airplane Mode because your device has a weak or non-existent network, it will still search for it and increase battery consumption.

Close battery percentage:

Most of us do battery percentage, but that makes more power consumption, odd right? Well let's see how this happens! You feel that the battery is running low quickly, so you look at the device and see how much it is now. And fifth, sixth, and woo. The psychological feeling that the battery drains quickly leads to checking it dozens of times. This same test is one of the reasons for the speed of consumption: D.

Try Scotty's tips, test the battery, do various tricks, then tell us, did you feel an improvement in battery consumption?
