Battery Life Tips for Android devices

1. Go to Settings> Location>Tap on mode and select Battery saving mode.

2. If your phone has an AMOLED screen like the most samsung devices, use a dark colored background, because AMOLED screens only illuminate the colored pixels. Black pixels are unlit, so the more black pixels you have, or the more darker pixels, the less battery you need to light them up. Using darker app backgrounds/themes and darker launcher themes will further maximize the battery life of your device.

3. Don't use auto-brightness. Auto-brightness is usually way brighter than you really need so it's much better to manually set a brightness level that is low and still comfortable, and then just bump it up when necessary. This is one of the main ways to improve your battery life as the screen is one of the biggest battery drainers.

4. Turn off haptic feedback (vibration) in keyboard and button press, it's another battery drainer.

5. If your phone has NFC then go to Settings > More.
Now uncheck NFC.

6. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Tap on 3-dot menu on the bottom-left and go to Advanced. Now turn off "Scanning always available". Then turn-on "Wi-Fi optimization".

7. Open Google Now and go to it's settings. Open "Voice" and then tap on "OK Google" hotword detection. Turn it off.

8. Set your display's screen timeout to as short as practical for you. If your screen timeout is set to a minute, it'll use four times the amount of power to have it on, every time you switch on your screen, than if your timeout is set to 15 seconds.

9. Turn off automatic files uploads and turn off Auto-sync.

Stay High on Android. Peace!!!

How to enable Google Now in Nepal and other countries (Solve - Google Location reporting not available in your region problem)

Google Now was first introduced in Android 4.1 Jellybean and it has been used as a personal assistant by many android users ever since. However after the introduction of Android 4.4 Kitkat many users started to complain that the search update broke google now functionality. Some of you might just have bought a shiny new Nexus 5 to enjoy a fine android experience but the lack of Google Now left you disappointed. When on the home screen of the default Android Launcher, swiping to the left should take you to the Google Now interface but for some of the users it is nowhere to be found. Also there are many people who flash custom roms to enjoy latest android builds on their devices. I am using Galaxy Nexus which didnot get the Kitkat update from Google. So i flashed a custom rom which promised the Google Now feature on the left side of the homescreen of default Kitkat launcher. But like some of you Nexus 5 users i was left disappointed. So i began my quest for searching a ...
