Protect your cell phone battery in standby - the best tips

A cell phone consumes a lot of electricity even in standby. Our tips now tell you how to protect your battery.

Check battery consumption

You can check your battery usage in Android. This provides a more precise picture of your situation.

Go to "Settings" - "Phone Info" - "Battery Consumption".
Now you can see what percentage has flowed into which app since the last charge.
You can close or deactivate apps that consume a lot of battery to save battery.

Always close all apps completely (also via the multi-task menu).
Set a short display timeout.
Adjust the brightness of your display. Most smartphones offer an energy-saving mode and a brightness control.
You can deactivate all reception and transmission services such as WLAN, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, etc. when not in use.
Switching off the mobile data also saves electricity. Now, for example, your WhatsApp messages will not be received with me. The Android app "Battery Defender" only allows apps to connect to the Internet if they are authorized. This allows you to save battery and still receive all important notifications.
Watch out for widgets. These can also consume electricity in standby mode.

To save data and battery, you can also use Google Navigation offline.
