7. Another area of battery consumption is the app data syncing with notifications and alerts. Many app need to sync data with external servers. Naturally the process uses battery power. Apps like Facebook, twitter, Instagram, news apps, weather widgets etc. need to fetch updates at regular intervals. If you want to save battery power you need to pull the right strings.

11. Always go for apps that consumes less power. We do not need unwanted apps to consume battery highly. Always update apps as it not only does not fix bugs but also in the process helps to consume less battery power.\r
\r
12. Best thing I should say is that if you can root your device because the custom Rom and the custom CWM can help in battery consumption. One way is to remove apps that have OEMs and network areas pre installed on your device because most of them are just energy sapping bloats. \r
Another fun part of rooting is you can use CPU setter apps like CPU Tuner and can be used to set CPU usage as per your need in order to conserve more battery.\r
\r
If the mentioned tips and tricks still does not satisfy your battery consumption power then there are few options like you can opt for spare battery if your handset allows a removable battery.
