First of all, it must be affirmed that the Galaxy S5 is one of the top smartphones with the most respectable battery life that you can buy at this time.
Cricket’s Samsung Lasted 7 hours and 38 minutes after PhoneArena’s rigorous battery tests and is currently only losing to the LG G3 on the battery life chart built by PhoneArena itself.
However, users still expect it phone They live as long as possible, so here are effective tips to optimize your S5’s battery life. Of course, you don’t need to do all of these tips at once.
1. Adjust the brightness
Do not lower the screen brightness to the lowest level, even if that is the optimal choice. Instead, even if you adjust the brightness in Auto mode, you can still optimize your device’s battery performance. The operation is very simple: check the Auto box on the brightness slider but keep the arrow at the lowest possible value (-5). This way, the GS5 will still proactively adjust brightness while remaining faithful to its mission of maximum battery protection.
2. Activate automatic screen tone adjustment mode
Found in the Settings > Display menu, this option, when enabled, automatically adjusts screen brightness based on the image you’re seeing at a given time.
Take this for example: 200 nits of brightness may not be enough to provide a clear viewing experience if the content displayed on the screen is too dark, but the same 200 nits of brightness may appear too bright if the content you view has too much white space (like a browser, for example). In that context, the option we are talking about will help save battery life by intelligently adjusting the brightness, depending on the context, without affecting the viewing experience.
3. Be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of AMOLED screens
Whenever the GS5’s AMOLED screen needs to display content with a lot of white space, it consumes a large amount of power. This means that while an all-white wallpaper may look stylish and eye-catching, it certainly also drains battery life more than a darker wallpaper. Of course, a pure black wallpaper is optimal because all the pixels won’t pop, but you don’t need to go that extreme. Choose for yourself a wallpaper that is relatively satisfactory but not pure white.
4. Avoid animated wallpapers
A lot has been said about live wallpapers and their impact on battery. According to PhoneArena’s experience, this factor usually accounts for 2-5% of the phone’s total battery drain. Therefore, if saving battery is your number one priority, it’s best to skip Dynamic Wallpaper. There are thousands of other attractive wallpapers you can choose from, like HD backgrounds for example.
5. Turn the screen back to monochrome mode
Few users know about this option, but you can actually force the GS5 to go completely monochrome without having to activate Super Power Saving or Emergency mode.
Just go to Settings (General tab) > Power Saving > Power Saving mode and activate it. At the bottom you will see Gresycale mode, turn it on and your screen will instantly turn one color.
6. Performance limitations
With the same Settings (General tab) > Power Saving > Power Saving mode process, you will come across the Performance Limitation option. Here, you can choose to limit CPU speed, screen frame rate as well as disable GPS… Additionally, enabling Performance Limit by default also causes the screen to automatically turn off every 3 seconds, instead of 10 seconds as before.
7. Turn off the Air Wake Up feature
Air Wake up allows you to wake up the GS5 screen by waving your hand in front of the built-in micro-sensor in the top left corner of the phone (near the headset). You should disable this feature because it accounts for up to 8% of the total battery consumption each day.
8. Turn off Smart Stay
This can help you extend your battery life by a few more minutes, as Smart Stay uses it camera. camera front panel to detect whether you are looking at the screen or not.
9. Disable 3G/LTE, WiFi and GPS when not needed
All of these connection options will drain the battery incredibly quickly.
10. Turn on Ultra battery saving mode
If it will be several hours before you can access the power source needed to charge the battery, it’s best to look for this option. All wallpapers will be minimized, the screen will return to monochrome mode, data will be disabled when the screen is turned off.
