As I discussed when we made that first look at the strengths and weaknesses of Galaxy S6, most experts agree that their autonomy will probably be among the latter. This actually means more than not at the same high level as other sections is poor and, in fact, independent showed that its performance is better than might have been expected (in fact is in the top 5 smartphone Quad HD screen with better autonomy ), but it is possible that the most intensive users are sometimes to get through the day without charge. There are, however, some options that can allow us to save battery. We review the most effective.
10 ways to reduce energy consumption in your GalaxyS6
Turn off the phone, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth if not need them. We started by a board that is not specific to the Galaxy S6, but applicable to any mobile device: if we have problems to make the battery last as much as we would like, limit the different types of connections to the moments that really need it.
. Disable 4G As with the previous tip, it is important to always consider our real needs: even when we need our wireless connection, it is preferable that we use the 3G connection if we walk battery just provided the extra speed of the 4G connection is not we will make a significant difference.
Disable Smart Network Switch. Following these tips to limit the use of connections to what is necessary, we consider a function that itself is specific Galaxy S6 and what it does is move to the mobile connection directly when it detects that Wi-Fi connection is unstable.
Switch off location services and Google Now. Even though we use pitcher Google, we can if we wish without the service of Google Now. Like everything else, it is a matter of assessing how much we need it, but the effect on the battery is quite remarkable, so worth keeping in mind.
Control the use of applications. This is a general advice, but especially important in the case of devices Samsung , including the Galaxy S6 with its revamped TouchWiz , the number of applications and additional features it brings. We can see which ones hurt us more in the battery section of the Settings menu.
Turn off automatic updates. Other applicable advice to any smartphone or tablet but, as before, especially worth to be considered in this case unless you have an application that interests us particularly, it is preferable that we can control when performing the updates to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Using auto brightness. The fantastic screen Galaxy S6 is one of its main weaknesses when referring to the question of autonomy, so anything we can do to reduce it consumption is welcome and the most efficient system to prevent overspend to keep unnecessary levels of brightness is left in automatic mode.
Avoid white screen funds. One of the peculiarities of AMOLED screens is that they consume more because we have more white on the screen, so it has been found that, although hard to believe, help in wallpapers can make reduce the power consumption of the device.
Updating the application of Samsung Push Services . In this case it is simply to take advantage of measures taken from the company itself to help improve the autonomy of our Galaxy S6 with an update of the application that manages notifications of your own applications.
Use battery-saving modes The Galaxy S6 boasts not one but two battery-saving modes to which we can appeal to reduce our energy consumption: the least restrictive, limited processor power, and decreases the brightness eliminates vibration; the most potent, removes color and limits the use to critical applications.
