Extend Battery Life

[Rukspc]

Been using Alpha for over one month and the only complaint I have is that the battery life is lousy. I shut off all apps when I'm not using them and dimmed the brightness. Sometimes I can't even go the whole day without charging. Are there any other tricks to preserve battery life? Other than that, it's a pretty durable and stylish device.

Battery Tips for Android

1. Toggle off GPS, BT, NFC, Hotspot/Tethering. Toggle on only as needed. (Switch to "Battery Saving" Mode).
2. Display Brightness - Turn off Auto Brightness and Reduce Setting Bar to Minimum Acceptable to you.
3. Sign out of any unused Google Services like G+, Google Now, etc.
4. Disable Location Reporting/History.

Samsung Extended Battery Kit for Samsung Galaxy Alpha (2500mAh, White) #EB-EG850BWEG - Expansys USA

Get the 2500 Mah Battery Kit, will be out soon.

If,I buy Alpha -I will get it.

Alpha feels very rugged and nice size-wish,it had great Note 4 Camera, though still seems good.

Tried it in Showroom, nice.

I want to see if possible to get good low light photos with Picture Stabilization and a little Tripod or setting down, using timer for clarity, no shake.

Which variant of the Alpha do you have? I'm using the International Exynos variant and from 100% - 16% I get just over 10 hours and 50 minutes. In terms of battery life the Alpha for me is an absolute beast considering it's running on a measly 1860 mah battery as well. Probably the first proper battery optimised Android handset I've come across. Make sure location services is on either GPS only or Power saving which is what I usually keep it on. As some have already mentioned as well you can always look into buying the extended battery too.

Dear all,
I bought a new Galaxy alfa, its my first and last android phone, Like every user i was feeling the battery life is not enough for the device.
Even authorized service cannot able to fix that problem, the major battery drain is caused by the Data connection and back ground data.
Now i am using the phone with data package off and i switch it on when ever necessary.Now the phone is giving me one days battery life. See the attached screen shots.

Looks like it is caused by some app that constantly need to use data to sync. From the screen shot, your phone spent most time awake. That's definitely not good even if you have a bigger battery. The thing with Android is that it let's you do a lot of things at the same time in the background. But with that flexibility, comes even bigger responsibility for the owner. Don't install all kinds of apps that you don't need or don't have idea what it does to your battery.

Mine can easily last one day with data on and three push email accounts.

I'm getting 3-4 hours of screen on time with the stock battery. That's pretty great for how tiny the battery is.

I also ordered the 2500 mah battery. I'm hoping to get 4-5 hours of SOT with it.
