How to calibrate your Android’s battery and achieve longer battery life

Google’s Android OS is one of the most popular devices globally. Mobiles and tablets based on Android are manufactured by a number of OEM’s (Original equipment manufacturers). Different OEM’s use specific hardware configurations to build the hardware part of smart phone and tablets. Most Android smart phones are infamous for having poor battery life. Although many handset are provided with rechargeable batteries, which can last a day or two, depending on the materials used by the OEM’s or how the device is being used. The main culprit behind the heavy battery consumption is the Android operating system, since it was designed to continuously synchronize data and information round the clock. A great smart phone with all the advanced features is of no use if there is no battery. Moreover, most of the Android batteries have low battery life, draining within 8 to 10 hours. Android owners who have rooted their device may have already found out some tricks to boost the life out of their batteries. Most common among them is installing custom ROMs which are guaranteed to handle battery consumption way better than their stock ROM counterparts. The flip side to installing custom ROMs is calibrating the battery, as it is recommended to fully drain their batteries dead and charge to 100% full without pausing or stopping. Furthermore, installing custom ROMs when the phone’s battery has 50% or lower power will often result in poor battery management. The new ROM may consider the 50% charge as the full battery stats, affecting the total battery life of the device. Today we will discuss about two effective solutions which can be used to boost Android device’s battery lifespan across OEM’s. The first option is quite easy to do but it requires a rooted Android device. The second option can be used on all devices regardless of weather they are rooted or not.
