As the mobile phone has become an indispensable tool for many today (whether for leisure or work), the run out of battery at the most inconvenient time that can be quite a problem. Today’s phones, even if they have improved performance, are nowhere near going to last a week without putting them near the charger (I still remember the Nokia 3310).
In addition to the usual battery saving methods, there is also the effort of developers and manufacturers, who while improving their operating systems by optimizing their operation, add tools to limit energy consumption at any time nominations. The problem arises when these limitations prevent these apps from working properly, which now we will see how to fix in a few steps.
Remove (or add) limitations
If you have an Android phone in your hand, surely you have one. application or mode to limit power consumption. These set a limit that is activated below a certain level of charge, overriding functions such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, lowering the screen brightness … But with these modes we also find how the limits can be set for applications one by one. by a.
In this case, the problem arises because by limiting these apps we can prevent them from working as they should. So, for example, if WhatsApp or Gmail isn’t constantly reviewing content, they won’t be able to notify us if we have new notifications. This is something we can resolve by checking a section which may vary for each brand but is usually very similar.
Samsung galaxy
In the case of the range Samsung Galaxy with ON UI 2.x To control which applications remain inactive or active, we must enter the “Settings” section of the phone and search “Device maintenance” then click on “Drums”.
Once on battery, you must enter the “Battery saving mode” where we can see which apps remain active and inactive and add the one that interests us the most to each list.
Pixels
In the case of using a model from the Pixel range (for testing a Pixel 4 with Android 11) and wanting to control the management of applications, you must access the “Settings” and once inside click on “Applications and notifications”. From the full list you must choose “Special access to applications” then click on “Battery options”
At the moment you will have access to all the applications installed on your phone and you will be able to determine which ones should have some sort of restriction or not.
Xiaomi
If yours is a Xiaomi phone, you can manage the applications and their resource consumption in the section “Drums” within the “Settings” telephone generals. When entering “Drums” We will see a list of sections and click on the option “Battery saving in applications “.
At this point we will have access to all the applications that we have installed and if we click on each of them we can configure them to prevent them from consuming resources if they are not strictly necessary.
In addition, and in addition to application-by-application customization, we also have the option of using one of the two backup modes they offer: “Battery saving” the “Extreme battery saver”. With these methods, we will gain minutes of use but with the risk of losing functions, which warns us a small illustrative banner.
Huawei
Huawei is another of the brands that offers the ability to manage the operation of apps to prevent them from consuming resources while running in the background. And again it’s in “Settings” and in the section “Drums” where we can access all the necessary settings.
Of all the sections and under the two performance modes we will see the field “Start applications”. By clicking on this point, the system takes us to a list with all installed applications and the “Manage all automatically” checkbox enabled.
If we uncheck it, globally or in each of them, we can configure application by application their operation. If we want them to run in the background, if they can have an autostart as well as other different options.
Oneplus
The last brand on the list, and not the least, is OnePlus. And Oxygen OS, its customization layer also makes it possible to manage the operation of the applications. And again the key is in the “Battery” option in the general “Settings”.
We have the possibility to activate the “Battery saving” (top image) but also individualized management if you click on the section “Battery optimization”. We will see all the applications, also being able to choose whether we want to see them in their entirety or only those optimized by the system. If we click on each of them, we can configure the operation to suit our needs.
