HOW TO SAVE BATTERY SAMSUNG GALAXY mini without using app - Samsung Galaxy Mini

Zaid info-For you who use SAMSUNG GALAXY MINI like me then listen to some of my suggestions to save your battery Galaxy Mini.
Initially I was also confused buying new batteries lasting until 2 days, I continue to activate the Internet only lasted 6 hours with full connect just continue without interruption.
Then I understood some of what makes a mini Galaxy I quickly drains the battery, it is the cause:
Internet-connected with the use 2g not 3g network.
the higher the brightness of the image-the more quickly exhausted.
-the number of active applications such as youtube, wether n news, facebook, and twitter in the home.

Questions about Galaxy Note before buying

I am looking to replace my galaxy SII for two main reasons.
The battery- I got, perhaps a faulty battery, but you can fully charge it and 1 hour later it has no battery left. Does the Note have a better battery life than the SII?
Runs warm- does the Galaxy note run as warm as the S2 while doing normal tasks, like using 3g and browsing?
The note does not run warm when doing normal tasks. The only time mine gets hot is when its been running satnav for 30mins.
You will love the nite.

Perhaps you had a faulty battery? I think you know you had a faulty battery.
Yes the Note has got better battery life than the SII.
I have noticed the Note does get a little warm sometimes. But not overly. Nothing that would bring concern.
It sounds like your SII is fried the heat and battery problems are most likely linked. The reason the phone gets so hot is because the battery is discharging so quickly.
Battery life greater than s2

Im only at 35% after 1 day and 14 hours of normal use, texting, surfing, gaming. Im on 0% brightness. Take what you will from that.

Something IS faulty, whether it's your battery or not. No phone should only last 1 hour. Even the worst performing smartphone being tortured will last 3+ hours. And I'm talking about rebooting, flashing, streaming HD video over LTE etc.
The Galaxy Note is very similar to the S2 same cpu/chipset etc. If you do a search for something like "hot" in the Gnote forums you will find many posts. But, that doesn't mean it should be of much concern. If those are really your only two reasons why you want to upgrade then I suggest trying to replace/refund/repair the phone you have know, because the battery loss & heat are probably related issues. But, if you want a larger screened phone then by all means upgrade to the Note.

Battery bloated or bulged :-/

Guys need some advice. Recently i have been having problems with battery life of galaxy note, so following some advices from other forums, i tried beter battery stats and found nothing was wrong. But today I have taken out the battery off my galaxy note, and i found that the battery has bloated a bit..i mean it bulged than its normal size and the back cover does not fit as confortably as it used to. Now my observations are, with no data on(even wifi) battery lasts for one and half day of calling and texting. But battery lasts not more than 2 hrs if data is on (even with wifi also). So does it mean i should change my battery? Or can i go on? Ofcourse battery life is pathetic when i switch on 3G or 2G or wifi. All i want to know is, is it safe to use this battery even if it has bloated a bit, bcoz its still good if i dont switch on any kind of data usage. Or will it damage my Note?

this has happened to me b4. not with not but other phone. battery bulged from back side. cuz I was using a diff charger not of the right rating or keeping it in charging for the entire night. Or may be a non official battery. any ways u should change the battery.
There are a few questions i want to ask, they may be sily but still want to know bcoz i dont want my battery to suffer.
1. Can will charge the battery with data on, i mean either 2G, 3G or WiFi on, with some downloading or buffering going on?
2. Ca we charge the battery while running some apps. Like watching video or listening to music, both via speakers not headphones.
3. And when is the best time to keep the phone for charging. I generally charge my mobile when its less than 10%.
4. Why does prolong charging damage the battery? I mean, when charging is full, doesn't the mobile cut the power input, even if charger is plugged in?

1. Yes
2. Yes.
3. Some people like to let the phone run dry i.e. power off so that they know like every last bit of battery is used.
But I don't think it makes too much of a difference.
4. I'm not really sure with this question.
But I think there are two sides to this argument.
First is, cuz it is still connected to power, it still drains battery or something. I'm not sure.
Second is, over charging is a myth and you can go nuts and over charge it cuz as you said, it stops charging when fully charged.
Feel free to correct me on anything I screwed up in.
i guess 1,2,3 has bee correctly answered..
4: i would like to add is i am sure phone cuts the charge and so does laptops.. but with laptop it is not recommended to keep the charger plugged in when its full.. its always recommended to disconnect the charger.. as mentioned in some battery guides as well. there are software installed in pc for limiting the charge to 80 or 85 % called as battery care functions... which clearly states that it saves battery life in the long run. so i guess its applicable to phones as well.. u may not find an immediate diff but i am sure ur battery will long last
as i said before.. i dont take these chances with Note but i had the same issue with a Nokia phone that i owned..
Sounds like heat dammage. The battery has a bag inside which swells during charging. The hard case is bigger than it needs to be ,to take acc. of this. If it has buckled the outer case it loks to me you have been using power draining apps while charging. Its got vv hot made gases and bullged. It's ruined. Id not use it ,incase it leaks into the phone. so long as the charger has more capacity in watts than the battery needs it will just take what it needs. Never use a charger of higher voltage!!!
As someone said overcharge is a myth. So is the need to drain the battery every time on lithium-pollimer.
Were you using a Samsung or generic batt?

I use only the samsung charger thst came with the phone. I do not use any ither charger.
Yeah but i have to make a point here. The way i use my mobile. I use my mobile a lot, i mean we all do, but please read on to see if the way i use my mobile is not good.
Generaly everyone gets free time from friday nights to monday morning. So, from friday night to sunday night, the way i use my mobile is.....continuous usage of net, say i have forgot using my laptop, desktop and note is the only device, even for facebook etc etc...then gaming as we all do....next videos and music (using both headphones and speaker)....then watching videos on mobile, both online and downloaded, sometimes watching streaming movies online (while charging too)
So all i want to say is, I use my mobile a lot on these three days in such a way, that my charging goes from 100% to 25% within 2 to 3 hrs and then i charge till 100%, and still use the mobile while charging for music or videos. Its like i dont give rest to my battery...
Does usage of mobiles this heavily damage batterys....i said all this because i want to know if my usage is the reason behind my batterys damage, so that i can avoid it when i buy the new battery. I use even XDA from my Note all the time and I have both posted and replied to this thread from my Note itself, i almost forgot using my Laptop

1. Yes.. I'm doing that for 3months now..
2. Yes.. I'm doing that for 3months now..
3. I always run my battery to the point that it turns off the phone..
4. I dont believe in the "overcharging" when you keep your phone plugged in for long.. With the big salary of Samsung Engineers, for sure they have thought of that and protected the device/battery from overcharging..
I tend to keep away from tethering and/or plugging my phone to a USB port since it charges the battery no matter what % it is.. I really want to fully discharge a battery before charging it... Had an old nokia phone and its battery has been going strong for 4years now... So im going to stay with this method to take care of my battery..
As for your bulged battery, i would go with the earlier replies.. It was most probably caused by heat damage.. Either you placed it in a hot place while charging.. or placed it on top of some cloth.. I charge my phone face down so the battery can dissipate the heat.. I notice that it tends to overheat if i have it charged face up..

And the other thing i want to point out is, the battery is bulged..but for some reason, even with data connection on all the time, battery is lasting for almost 4 hrs. I wonder wats happening now, with my phone's battery.
Although i have decided to order a new battery now, and i am mostly thinking to order one Samsung Battery from Samsung and one Mugen 5400 mAp battery too. But till i get those batteries, can i use my phone with this bulged battery?? Or will it damage my phone in anyway??

I think once it's started bulging, it's only going to increase in size and you run the risk of the seams splitting and it leaking which would make a real mess of the internals beyond repair pretty instantly., but that being said, I'd be surprised if that was to happen before you got replacements delivered. There's always a risk but you should be ok.

I suggest you stop using a bloated battery ASAP... You'll never know when it will leak or explode.. It might be inside your pocket.. Hopefully not..

Im the same my friend. I've not used my laptop in months. My gf lives in the usa do I'm on skype all the time as well as the net .
I had heat problems. It was down to the rom...well since I changed I've not had it . I'm using cassies with it stripped back . The middle choice in aroma .using hydracore OC but have it under clocked to 1200. The phone works great at that . Id say your games are a problem.don't use a case to play .id also say you are better keeping the charger on if you are using it a lot. Draining then charging and using stresses the tree. Better to keep it full.
Get CPU spy to see how much you are using the cpu and what frequencys. Do that and drop me a pm anytime:thumbup:

If it ruptures and air gets in it will explode or catch fire .I KID YOU NOT !!!!

Thanks a lot for the information and the advice to get RID off the bloated battery, I thought Batteries exploding is a myth, but looks like I have to agree they may explode as so many members here say that.
The battery I am using has reached a state where I was unable to fit it with my back case, So I have replaced it with a genuine Samsung battery as I could not afford to wait, even for 3 or 4 days without my Note. But then, as you mentioned about cases being the reason for heat damage, I use the below two cases for my Note. Do you think they are harmful for Note?

And Yes, I have installed Cpu Spy as you suggested, I will let you know my findings.
i guess both the cases are fine.. just make sure none has magnets cuz that interferes with the touch and spen sensitivity

What’s different about Samsung S5 battery?

Two months have passed in 2014. As usual, releasing new cell phone would be the most exciting news for tech-fans. Right now most of people concern about the publishing of iPhone 6 and Samsung S5. Well, despite of iPhone 6, rumors said that Samsung S5 will adopt a special battery. What exactly is going on?
Few days ago, Phone Arena had posted an article about Samsung S5 battery information. It is said that Galaxy S5 will have a new type of Li-ion battery with 2900 mAh capacity, compared with 2600mAh in Galaxy S4, and rapid charging. With rapid charging technology deployed, it will get the S5 fully charged in under two hours.
The new type of Li-ion battery can store 20% more energy in the same footprint. Despite the increasing quantity in capacity, the battery size might stay the same, meaning more places for the internals, and a more compact handset.
Due to a more powerful performance in Galaxy S5, even the capacity increased, that doesn’t mean the standby time will sufficiently extend. In some ways, we still need backup battery or power bank to support our cell phone usage. If you tired of carrying heavy power bank or many backup batteries, you may try wireless charging receiver battery if you have Galaxy S4.
Anyway, no matter what S5 battery would be, as long as it keeps longer using time, it is acceptable, right?

S6 Active battery life comparison

Picked up a new S6 Active which, while having a 40% larger battery, Samsung lists as only having a 10-20% better battery life (http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-G890AZWAATT vs http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-G920AZDAATT). Having a g920f (international s6) handy, and wanting to do a real-world comparison, I immediately disabled the AT&T bloat, and set up both devices exactly the same (except for the S6 having root) including all the same applications, 3 different Exchange accounts, and Tasker running the same profiles. I tried using the devices exactly the same - one on top of the other on a table, doing all the same tasks. Primarily checking email, surfing the web, and watching YouTube, here's what I found:
After 24 hours of use, and 4.5 hours of SOT, the S6 was down to 4% battery. The Active, on the other hand, was still at 24%. The estimates in the Battery settings shows the S6 having another hour remaining, while the Active was predicting another 5.5 hours of use. Both phones did well, but the Active does appear to be holding out only about 15% longer (just like the Samsung website predicted).
So where is the rest of that extra battery going? The internals are supposed to be the same. Same software. With the 40% improvement in battery capacity, I was expecting the Active to show similar improvements in battery life, but it did not. Maybe it has to do with the phone not being conditioned by having been through several charge cycles (keep in mind this was straight out of the box after first full charge). Or maybe the AT&T firmware has more crap running in the background (which we might be able to eventually disable once we have root).
Anyways, I'm not here to recommend one over the other as they both have their pros and cons, but merely to share my findings...
Unfortunately I don't have a S6 to compare my Active to. I am very happy with the Active battery performance so far. I'm coming up on 2 days on a single charge under normal use conditions with 40% battery remaining. I'm still on my initial first full charge of the battery as well. I'm sure GSMArena will have battery numbers up as well. For me, I held off getting the standard S6 hoping the Active had a larger and removable battery. At least it is bigger and I'm happy with my purchase.
Thats pretty good actually.. I got an att s6 and i can barely make it to 3 hours SOT thats with greenify and root! (maybe because you got the international s6 thats why the battery life is better-no att bloat)
Now I'm seriously thinking of exchanging my s6 for the active...
Im sure the active will get better with a few charging cycles. And ppl are reporting more than a day of battery life with ease so thats a pretty big difference

That's pretty good! My S6 usually drops to 55-60% after 4 hours of podcasts and light web browsing. I don't mind though because I always charge the phone on my lunch break anyway. Though the longer battery life would be great if I am away from any power source. Hmmm, I'm starting to consider the Active.
Generally after a typical days use, my S6 would be around 20-30%. My active is around 50-60%.

Here is my second complete charge cycle since Friday. Did not screenshot the first one, but it was over a day. I've noticed it's learning the battery better. Takes about an hour and a half right now to recharge w/o booting up the phone.

It's way more than 10-20%. I've had them both and both set up exactly the same. I'd say it's at least 50% more battery life for me with the active.

There's a guy on Android Central that got 10hr SOT; pretty amazing.:good:
Almost hit the two day mark today.
At 3 days 10 hours, with 24% left. I consider myself a "light user". Occasional phone calls, text messages, check facebook a few times a day, youtube here or there, etc. I have NFC and GPS off. Bluetooth always on and WiFi set to turn off (use most data) when not in use. Disabled all the ATT/Microsoft apps except I left Milk Audio enabled. Also changed some sync settings and only sync Google App data, Mail, and Contacts. Not running any battery management apps.
ETA: I just installed greenify to hibernate Facebook and Messenger.
That's amazing. Anything else you can think of, let us know. I have done most of that. A lot of my battery drainage seems to come from MightyText; but I use its services and I am not sure how to make it better. Getting two days battery life is pretty sweet though, so I am not complaining much.
I haven't played with the standard S6, but this is my battery on it's first charge. Disabled about 32 apps that I deemed bloatware.
LTE 100% of the time. No WiFi.

Galaxy Watch 3 Alternatives

Because of the shortened battery life, has anyone used any alternative watches to the gw3 that are comparable and have mostly the same features (calls, texting, emails, etc.) in the US for android?
Anyone?
No alternative in the Smartwatch World Only alternative with better battery life in the Tracker World but 0 function
Maybe Fitbit Versa 3 & Sense. A little Smart a full tracker and no bad battery life
Samsung Galaxy Watches are the only Android e-sim standalone for USA carriers with LTE 4g bands....
Just seeing if there are any bluetooth alternatives out there. I just got a gw3 yesterday hoping it would be better than the og gw and not disconnect all the time but 24 hours later and the watch is down to 43%. Just not gonna cut it when I am not using it much. I like the watch ecosystem but this battery is just not good.
I got my GW3 the first day it was available at my local store and have just established a routine where every other evening I put it on the charger for a couple hours then put it back on before I go to bed. Only times I have varied is when I switched to watch faces that were battery killers.

Yeah, I charge mine every day for 1-2 hours depending on my use. I wish it charged a lot faster and then charging every day wouldn't be a problem.

I just got a gw3 yesterday hoping it would be better than the og gw and not disconnect all the time but 24 hours later and the watch is down to 43%. Just not gonna cut it when I am not using it much. I like the watch ecosystem but this battery is just not good.

I got the GW3 LTE direct from Samsung and I easily get 48-52 hrs on a charge: WiFi set to auto, LTE set to auto (I'm on what's left of Sprint), no AOD on, +several notifications. So not sure why you're not getting good battery life. I have noticed anywhere from 1-1.3% discharge per hour. I use it with my Samsung Note 20 5G (standard)
I use an active 2 and a GW3, switch between the two. Since they both use the same OS, same app. It's a seamless switch, kind of like wearing the same watch all the time. I don't need to worry about battery life cause I'll always have 1 fully charged.

TicWatch ?
I have the Samsung Gear S2. It has 250 mAh battery life and it can work for 2–3 days depending upon the usage.
