6. Disable Location Service:
When we install any application some of them need location service to set up and there are many existing apps on our phone which need location service to do a task.
Apps like food delivery, UPI apps, matrimonial apps, cab apps, Google Maps, and more. So, after using them we forget to turn off the location and it keeps running in the background. And it searching for a better network.

We receive a lot of notifications in a day on our phones. Notifications like app updates, brand sales, matrimonial, and all.

Many users who set the timeout time longer than recommended, set the timeout from 10 minutes to 30 minutes. And some users disable the screen timeout to infinite. That means it never turns off.
And if accidentally you don’t lock your screen then it stays on and it consumes the battery faster. And because of the AMOLED screen, this phone consumes more battery than any other type of screen.
So, simply set the timer to 15 seconds to 1 minute, and hardly set it to 2 minutes. It will save the battery.
