I never carry a charger for my phone or laptop unless I plan to spend more than a day out (I had to with my old laptop, though). I actually feel a little frustrated when my phone's battery lasts less than 48 hours, because it means I'm using my smartphone much more than necessary. I don't try to limit my phone use, but I do take some measures that probably help to save battery: screen rotation and bluetooth are always off and I use an app that automatically adjusts screen brightness much more efficiently than the stock android setting does.
- standardUser 7y agoWhat is the screen brightness app you use?
- gftsantana 7y agoIt's called Lux Auto Brightness (I've no relation whatsoever with the developer). I prefer it to other options because with it the brightness is always very comfortable to me. Just checked the battery usage by apps, and it doesn't even appear in the list.
- samplatt 7y agoRecent revisions means that Bluetooth isn't as thirsty as it used to be. I have a smartwatch and spend ~90min a day on bluetooth headphones and there's no real difference than when I'm not using them. Of course maybe the fact that I have smartwatch means I'm not playing with my phone quite so much whenever a new notification comes through... hmm.
- wongarsu 7y ago> I never carry a charger for my phone or laptop unless I plan to spend more than a day out Me neither, but a different reason: my laptop battery lasts 6 hours or so, and for my phone I just carry a tiny USB cable to charge my phone from my laptop. I'm already carrying around this 97Whr battery in my laptop, might as well use it to charge my phone.
