In our daily life smartphones and tablets often run out of battery power, and there isn\u2019t always an open plug or an extra battery pack lying around. To avoid how often you\u2019re faced with the untimely death of your laptop computer and smartphone, BattAussie battery experts rounded up three of our favorite apps that can help you get a little more time out of that lithium cell.<\/p>\n

Greenify<\/h2>\n

Greenify used to be a root-only app, but now it is gloriously open to all.\u00a0The app aims to valiantly \u201cgreenify\u201d your device\u2014that is, to kick those offending, battery-sucking apps to the curb. You can give it permission to do so by selecting those offensive apps and then forcing them into hibernation, which cuts off all background functionality, even push notifications. There\u2019s also an auto hibernation feature that automatically shuts off those juice-sucking apps, though it needs to be enabled in the experimental feature settings and it\u2019s only available if you\u2019re running Android 4.1 and up.<\/p>\n

Greenify also warns you against hibernating alarm clock apps, instant messaging apps, and any other apps you end up relying on throughout the day, though it doesn\u2019t completely shut down apps; when you turn un-hibernate an app, it\u2019s almost like reviving a saved state rather than starting up an app from scratch.<\/p>\n

Snapdragon Battery Guru<\/h2>\n

Snapdragon Battery Guru is admittedly an app hawked by Qualcomm, but considering a majority of flagship devices in the U.S. market run on a Snapdragon something-or-other, Snapdragon Battery Guru is worth the free download to check what\u2019s happening under the hood.<\/p>\n

Snapdragon BatteryGuru requires no user configuration on your part. It automatically adjusts to whatever your usage pattern is, so it learns what\u2019s going wrong when your\u00a0Toshiba satellite p200 battery<\/a> begins to flounder. The app will first launch into \u201clearning mode\u201d to learn how you use your device, then incrementally adjust based on your usage pattern. It could take up to a few days\u2014even weeks\u2014before it\u2019s really accurate, however. But the pay off is worth it.<\/p>\n

Snapdragon BatteryGuru also offers individual application settings. You can manually adjust how much power each app uses so that the least used apps only use up battery life when they\u2019re asked to, rather than working constantly in the background.<\/p>\n

GSam Battery Monitor<\/h2>\n
GSam accurately monitors your Android smartphone’s battery life and offers alarms that alert you when things are going south.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

GSam Battery Monitor may not be the prettiest app to look at, but it\u2019s one of the most effective battery monitoring apps\u2014and one of the most popular\u2014in the Google Play store. Not only does it tell you precisely how much juice you have left based on both current and past usage, but it also comes with the \u201cApp Sucker,\u201d a powerful tool that hunts down which apps are draining your phone\u2019s precious energy.<\/p>\n

GSam Battery Monitor allows you to set up custom device power profiles and view historical averages over time. You can set up alarms so that the app warns you when\u00a0Dell nf343 battery<\/a> is overheating, for instance, or when it\u2019s below a certain percentage. And it comes packed with a few handy widgets, in addition to a Notification panel indicator that lets you know precisely how much juice you\u2019ve got left.<\/p>\n

If your device is rooted, you can download the GSam Battery Monitor root companion app, which offers access to detailed wake lock and sensor usage statistics to help you really narrow down the cause of what\u2019s eating up battery life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
