On this tutorial i will show you on how to save your battery life up to 24 hours. Since I don't have Samsung S3 so I borrowed S3 one of my friends then apply below Battery Savings Tips and monitor the performance of battery. So here's how, just follow this 10 Tips To Save Battery Life Of Samsung S3 listed below so you can enjoy your mobile at long last.
How To Save Your Battery Life On Samsung S3?
Tip1:
Turn Off Data Access- All we know that Android mobile is eating more power from your battery due to communications such as features such as GPS, Wifi, 3G & 4G, disabling this feature may increase your saving of battery. You can disable this communications when you don't need this swipe the screen down from the top of your screen.
Then disabled the Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth, NFC and S Beam.
Tip2:
Turn On Power Saving mode - This feature of Samsung it will control the CPU and Screen Power as well as “haptic feedback” which uses vibrations to signal that a specific function has been utilized. You can turn it on and configure it by swiping down from your HOME screen and then choosing the “Settings” icon (which resembles a gear):
Scroll down you will see the “Power saving mode” and set it to “On”:
Tap “Power saving mode” to review and configure the options:
I would recommend to enable this three options to save you more battery.
Tip3.
Adjust Your Display - You can adjust your display even further to preserve your battery. The brightness can be lowered if you turn off the “Automatic brightness” option, which I did because I found it worked inconsistently.
Access “Settings” then scroll down to select “Display”:
Tap “Brightness.”
Uncheck “Automatic brightness,” then manually adjust the brightness level to a comfortable level, then tap “OK.”
You should also set the screen timeout (when the screen will dim after inactivity) for the level that works best for you. Under “Settings” go to “Accessibility”:
Tip4.
Tweak your apps - Many applications are demanding resource hogs so you should always be aware of which ones are running and decide whether they really need to be doing so. This is nothing new, of course – many Windows programs I’ve come across insist on starting up with your computer when they really don’t need to do so (Adobe is famous for this).
You can review which apps are running by accessing “Settings” then “Battery”:
You can tap each app or service to get more information. In my case, the Android OS and Google Play are both taking up a sizeable percentage of my battery. However, I can’t do much about that since they’re both integral to my device; there isn’t an option to disable these. If I tap “Google Play Services” I see the following screen:
Tip5.
Adjust your device functions - My Samsung Galaxy comes with some interesting options, but I don’t use all of them. Let’s review that list of available services I showed you back in #1:
I turned off “Screen Mirroring” and “Multi window” since I don’t use those. I also have the phone set to “Mute” and toggle that with “Sound” – I don’t use Vibrate since I find that unnecessary.
There are more places you can shut off settings you don’t need. If you access “Motion” under “Settings” you will see the following list of options:
Tips6.
Check your accounts - You may be able to save battery life by having your email or other accounts poll for new messages/data less frequently. Each account will appear under the “Accounts” section in “Settings.” “Email” will allow you to access however many email accounts are set up on your device. You can access that function then choose “Settings” to specify sync frequency intervals. For instance, if I pull up the “Sync Settings” for my personal email account I will see the following:
You can adjust the sync schedule to every 15 minutes, every 30 minutes, every hour or every 2 hours. You can also adjust your roaming settings or specify a peak schedule to sync email more or less frequently to your device during a specific timeframe (working hours for example).
If you review the options you will see a function listed called “Push,” which appears alongside entries such as “Manual” and every X minutes/hours:
Tip7.
Reduce your dependency on cloud access - Ah, the cloud, the cloud, the cloud. It handles our backups, it syncs our documents, and it delivers us news, entertainment and information. It also requires lots of bandwidth and makes our devices go the extra mile when everything we own data-wise resides in the cloud.
I love my Dropbox account, but it can chew up battery life on my Droid since it has to download stuff I access. You can set it to sync only while your Android is using Wi-Fi (Dropbox, “Settings,” “How to Upload”) but another good option is to store all files locally if you can so you can reduce the amount of back-and-forth needed by pulling data down from the cloud.
I have a lot of PDF files I read on my devices, so if I set them as a “Favorite” in Dropbox they will be downloaded to my device where I can open them directly:
Tips8.
Watch your multimedia use - Music and videos are the best ways I know to drain a battery. It’s cool that smartphones can do this stuff but I find myself very conservative with my multimedia use. I use a Blackberry as an MP3 player when I go to the gym, for instance, since it works fine for my purposes and I don’t have to run down the battery on my Android. Consider a cheap music player to carry on the side if you just need something to listen to.
If you’re on a coast-to-coast flight and don’t care whether you run your battery down watching a movie on your device, far be it from me to stop you, but if you need your device to communicate with the outside world (such as on a camping trip) I’d skip the entertainment.
Tip9.
Get a Cleaner Apps - There are apps available to help you manage resources and battery life on your Android. I’ll admit I was skeptical about this at first since I recall similar programs in the past which ran on Windows and claimed to optimize your RAM or your registry (but I never observed any noticeable benefit). However, the ones I’ve tried have some bona fide merit.
Cleanmaster is one such free example and JuiceDefender
Tip10.
Get an extended battery - These nine tips worked reasonably well (I always made it to bedtime at which point I plug in all my devices) but I still had to make sure I charged my Android daily.
