If any of your apps offer you the option, telling them to sync via wifi instead of data connections can give you a bit of extra battery life keeping a minimum number of apps on your phone helps, too. The A. Field Guide. By David Nield. Screenshot: iOS. Battery life—the arch-nemesis of every smartphone user. This is the case with both areas of weak signal and congested areas, such as if there are fifteen friends and relatives trying to get on your home network.
In the worst cases your phone will just shut down and stop working, never mind reduced battery life.

The good news is that handsets are getting better at tracking GPS more efficiently, and Android and iOS have both been improving the way that apps are allowed to ping for a location update in the background.
It grounded Boeing's Dreamliners. It's incited dozens of product recalls, from HP laptops to smartphones. In a paper published today in Nature Communications , four Stanford researchers named Hui Wu, Denys Zhuo, Desheng Kong, and Yi Cui detailed how they invented a simple solution to the exploding battery conundrum.
It's all about detecting leaks in that separator between the electrodes. The team created a super-thin layer of copper and inserted it between the anode and cathode. If one leaks into the other, the copper will detect it—and the battery's voltage will fall to zero. Here's what Denys Zhuo had to say about the project in a Stanford news report :.
So I decided our test was finally complete. Did I spend plus hours acquiring the least useful piece of battery life trivia? Yes and no. The exact number is less important than knowing that, in a pinch, quieter music will, surprisingly, squeeze a little more time out of your near-dead phone. Flip on airplane mode, kill the display, and you just might have a soundtrack for your drunken walk home. What is the effect on battery life with Blue Tooth headphones on?
