AC Question
Hi. I'm new to smartphones, so please explain things clearly, because I'm also not a techie.
I have a CoolPad Avail with KitKat. The battery is draining even when not in use (I'm not a heavy user). I read on here to turn off location service, and noticed that Google Play seems to be using a lot of battery too.
Here's my dilemma. Location already seems to be disabled, and all it says is "Force Stop." When I push that it says if I force stop it, it will make my phone act up.
I disabled most Google Services I wouldn't be using, but if I disable Google Play, can I easily get it back to download apps if I need to?
Also, heard about Better Battery app, but one comment says you have to root your phone to use it, and I can't do that on this phone, because it's a Lifeline government phone. Is there another good (preferably free) battery app?
TIA
