Every time I see a thread posted and people are asking questions like why is my cpu using so much battery? Or How do I get 4 million hours out of my battery? I always sit and read the responses and end up face-palming so hard Ive been asked if Im abused by my imitation girlfriend.
99% of the time the most suggested thing is installing a app or five apps, that will limit how often your phone connects to 3G/wifi. Ok cool I use a app to limit how much 3G/WIFI is used, but that is all. No other apps at all. All the app I use does is turn off wifi and or 3g while the phone is not being actively used. Once you wake the phone it will turn on which ever radio you need.
I see threads tho where people are using apps that completely shut off the phones ability to access the mobile internet. Why? Most of these apps are available for free but the free version is limited to the point you need to spend 4 bucks on the full/pro version (Looking at you Juice Defender).
So lets say you spend 10 bucks on two apps then you spend four or five hours getting them setup. That is not a unrealistic time frame either. Ok I rate my time at 16$ hour and that is cheap compared to some people. So lets see five hours is eighty bucks plus 10 bucks in apps. You spent 90 bucks making your phone dumb just to get 10 more minutes of battery.
Now lets say you spent that money on a battery or two. Matter of fact you can buy about 8 batteries for 90 bucks. But you really only need two maybe three batteries, so you spend 30 bucks on two batteries (you went ahead and bought two OEM from a reputable buyer on amazon). I can get 18-26 hours out of a full charge with moderate use. That is with the free version of the battery saver app I use. I am a cheap arse so I use as much free stuff as I can. If I had two backup batteries I could go almost four days without having to worry about charging a battery. But in reality if you need backup batteries you would prolly get about 40 hours out of them all which isnt bad.
The biggest drawbacks to using airplane mode is you no longer have a phone just a expensive pocket warmer. Yes it is easy to turn airplane off but unless your on a airplane why do you need airplane mode? It was put on phone so people didnt have to turn phone on and off so much. Mainly as a convenience factor. I think if it was meant as battery saver mode they would have called it battery saver mode.
The point of this is people stop telling each other to use airplane mode or multiple apps to get better battery. Use your phone as a smart phone not a dumb phone. Most of us bought the phone to use it and not have to enable or disable apps each time we want to use it as it was designed for.
TL;DR? stop telling people to use airplane mode or multiple apps to get more battery. Just go buy a battery and use your phone like it was intended to be used.
