There are various, well-known tweaks you can make to your smartphone to boost its battery life, such as turning off Wi-Fi and decreasing the screen’s brightness. But these only have a limited effect when other features and services are draining energy, often without you even realizing they’re doing so.

Glasgow-based experts have now created an interactive guide that reveals how to save battery life using tips specific to individual phones, such as Apple’s iPhones, HTC and Samsung’s range of devices, and Sony’s handsets.

It also includes older models, and handsets from Motorola, LG, BlackBerry, Amazon, Huawei and Nokia – now known as Lumia.

The tips, compiled by electronics retailer liGO, begins by asking the user to select their make and model.

An image of the handset appears below, surrounded by tips that conserve battery life on that particular model.
Clicking on a tip reveals the steps needed to disable, or enable, the selected features, alongside information about why it drains battery, where appropriate.

On the module above, these tips scroll across the screen.

The guide does assume that smartphone owners are running the most up-to-date version of operating system available.

Running older systems can cause battery problems themselves.

According to the guide, Apple iPhone 5S users, for example, can save battery life by managing which apps update in the background – known as Background App Refresh.

This feature is accessed via Settings, General, and by switching off the apps that are automatically updated.

The reason this drains battery is because, even when the phone isn’t being used, these apps use a network to pull in data. This tip applies to Samsung’s Galaxy S5, too.

This feature also uses data that owners may not be aware of.  However, be aware that by disabling Background App Refresh can prevent notifications appearing until the app is manually opened.

Another tip, for Samsung Galaxy S5 owners, is to turn off Air Wake Up.

Smart stay features detect when people are looking at their screen, and means the display remains on, effectively disabling auto-locking.This feature uses the forward-facing camera, so disabling it via Settings reduces power usage.

And for Windows Phone users, seen on the Lumia range of devices and HTC One (M8) for Windows, limiting what tiles are pinned to the start will reduce power usage.

These tiles automatically refresh to show up-to-date Facebook posts, tweets, emails or weather details, for example, and this uses battery.
