Simple Techniques to Save Mobile battery.

Useful Tips to increase your Mobile battery life?

• Android Phone are powerful but it’s tough to go much longer than a day without charging your phone.
  
  
•  A number of factors have conspired to reduce the battery life of your phone over the past several years.
  
  
• Faster Quad-Core Processor, thin & slim Designs, larger and brighter Amoled display, Wi-Fi & GPS and other software that runs in the background, all these are responsible for draining your phone battery.
  
  
  
• Now a days the move of networks from 2G to 3G and now from 3G to 4G LTE has become one of the reason for less battery life. 
  
  
• Many people goes for the portable USB power banks, which can be used to charge your phone on the go.
  
  
  
• My aim is show you how to reduce your Mobile power consumption and increase the battery life of your mobile phones.

Here are Some Tips that will Surely Benefit You to Increase your Smartphone Battery Life

   1.   Turn Your Smartphone OFF when not in Use:-

• This is the simplest and the most effective ways of conserving your smartphone battery power.
• You can switch off you phone when you are in no reception zone or you are in sleep or you don’t want to answer the phone are office hour.
• When your phone is switched off the draw from the battery is very little.
• This will save a quite a good amount of energy in your phone battery.

   2.  Avoid the Crappy Method of Full Charging & Discharging

• Smartphones battery are made up of either Lithium-ion or Lithium Polymer.
• The main advantage of Lithium-ion battery is that you can charge them at any time at any level.
• You don’t have to drain the battery completely, then charge it to 100 percent.
• Lithium battery which are used in most of the smartphone are designed to be charged early and often.
• Full Charging – Discharging method goes for only Nickel based batteries.
• Letting your Lithium Battery too low or fully discharged can surely damage your battery.

   3.  Turn Off the Phone’s Back Light

• I know the back light is what makes the smartphone display easier to operate in bright shinny light or outside.
• Reduce the amount of time to leave the back light on, usually 5 seconds is sufficient.
• Smart Phone with ambient Light Sensor has the ability to turn off the back light of the phone in the bright condition and enables it in the dark.

    4.  Avoiding using Unnecessary Feature

• The moment you know you battery is about to die in couple of minutes. Don’t use camera to click photos or use Internet for surfing or downloading.
• Smart Phones Camera Flash light can drains amply amount of energy from the battery.
• Turn off Bluetooth, it will drain your battery very quickly. Turned it ON only when you need it.
• Turn off WI-FI, GPS, and infrared, when you don’t want use it. Turned it ON when you need to use it.
  

   5.  Reduce the Brightness of the Display to lowest

• Never check the option auto for brightness, uncheck the auto option & manually turn the brightness to lowest setting according to your choice.
• Use dark colored or black wallpaper for your phone, it can increase the battery life.
• Phones with Amoled screen should use black wallpaper, as it required less power to light them up.  (you can download black wallpaper from Google Play Store)
• Never use live wallpapers or animated picture for your phone background it will drain the battery faster.
• This is one of the best ways to improve your battery life, because the screen is one of the biggest battery suckers.

   6.  Adjust Your Network Setting

 

 

• Use 3G or 2G network rather than 4G (LTE) network all the time, it will drain the battery quicker than you expected.
• If the 4G signal is weal or there is no signal at all turned it off.
• Turn off the NFC and Mobile data when you don’t need them.
• Turn off the Phone, when you are in no cell service as your phone will constantly find a mobile tower to which it can connect for. This is drain large amount of energy from your phone battery.

   7.  Doze

• Doze is the new feature that comes in the Marshmallow Operating System.
• It has a feature called hibernation, it is enable by default on your phones.
• Phones enter into hibernation mode if it is not use for long period of time.
• It help your phone to get much more out from your phone battery.

   8.  Use Greenify

 

•  Greenify is app that optimize the performance of your phone and can increase the phone battery life significantly.
• This app allows user to put other apps into hibernation when they are not in use. This will boost the battery performance.

9.  Set your 'Do Not Disturb' or 'sleep' schedule

• Set sleep time or blocking mode to switch off Wi-Fi and mobile data when you don't need them.
•  If your phone is basically off limits at work, set your device to not ring, vibrate or connect to the internet while you're at work.

10.  Don't get Fooled by widgets

• Never use a widgets that you don’t need and especially those one that required internet connection.
• Never keep multiple widgets on your home screens (Social Networking, or Mails) that required continuous sync. It will drain your phone battery much faster.

11.Don't fall into the auto-sync trap

• Turn off the auto sync option for your Google account, if you don’t need your Google account to sync every time you connect on internet.
• Same goes for social networking sites, just turn the sync option on when you actually want to use the app.

12.  Explore the battery saving features on your phone

• Almost all ROM have different setting in the menu to turn on the battery saver     
  option that will optimize the battery life.
•  Make us of the inbuilt battery saver mode for your phone, if incase it’s not install
  then download it from Play store.

13.  Update all installed app

• Application often get new update to use less battery power, that why we have to update our install apps whenever required.
• Check for app updates in Google Play by hitting the menu key and going to My Apps.

   14.  Turn OFF the Background Running app

• Many apps that are running in the background is using processing power from battery.
• Even if you are not using that app at that time they are running in background using the energy from battery to run.
• Android is pretty good at managing these apps and automatically closing out ones that aren’t used for an extended period of time.

     15.  Keep the battery cool.

• Battery will last longer if we used near room temperature.
• Avoid leaving your phone in hot temperature or in direct sunlight.
• Most importantly, check the battery while it’s charging. If it seems excessively hot, then your charger may be malfunctioning.

Battery Failure Indicators

Know how to avoid battery failure:

1. The usable time after recharging is shortened.
2. Charge your smartphone with the charger that is compatible for your device.
   
   
3. The battery becomes unusually warm during a recharge cycle.
4. The battery becomes unusually warm during phone use.
5. The battery case may become swollen. This is detectable by viewing the phone-side of the battery case.
6. The case of a healthy battery is flat, and the battery will not a spin easily, whereas the faulty battery will swollen from the center & spin easily on plain surface.
 

 

 

 

 

 

Network and its Types

  

        Network:

• A computer network or data network is a telecommunications network that allows computers to exchange data.
• In computer networks, networked computing devices pass data to each other along data connections.
• The connections (network links) between nodes are established using either cable media or wireless media.
• The best-known computer network is the Internet.
  
  

      Inter network:

• Inter networking is the practice of connecting a computer network with other networks through the use of gateways that provide a common method of routing information packets between the networks.
• The resulting system of interconnected networks is called an inter network, or simply an internet.
• Inter networking is a combination of the words inter ("between") and networking; not internet-working or international-network.

    Intra Network:

• An intranet is a computer network that uses Internet Protocol technology to share information, operational systems, or computing services within an organization.
• This term is used in contrast to extranet, a network between organizations, and instead refers to a network within an organization.
• Sometimes, the term refers only to the organization's internal website, but may be a more extensive part of the organization's information technology infrastructure, and may be composed of multiple local area networks.
• The objective is to organize each individual's desktop with minimal cost, time and effort to be more productive, cost efficient, timely, and competitive.

    Extranet:

• An extranet is a computer network that allows controlled access from the outside, for specific business or educational purposes.
• In a business-to-business context, an extranet can be viewed as an extension of an organization's intranet that is extended to users outside the organization, usually partners, vendors and suppliers, in isolation from all other Internet users.
• In contrast, business-to-consumer (B2C) models involve known servers of one or more companies, communicating with previously unknown consumer users.
•  An extranet is similar to a DMZ in that it provides access to needed services for channel partners, without granting access to an organization's entire network.

    Topology:

• Topology means structure of Network.
• Types of Topology Networks:

     1.      Single Node Topology

Single Node Topology

   2.     Bus Topology

Bus Topology

• It works well when you have a small network.
• Easiest network topology for connecting computers or peripherals in a linear fashion.
   
• Requires less cable length than a star topology. 

 3.      Ring Topology

•  All data flows in one direction, reducing the chance of packet collisions.
• A network server is not needed to control network connectivity between each workstation.
• Data can transfer between workstations at high speeds.
• Additional workstations can be added without impacting performance of the network.

   4.     Star Topology

Star Topology

• As compared to Bus topology it gives far much better performance, signals don’t necessarily get transmitted to all the workstations. A sent signal reaches the intended destination after passing through no more than 3-4 devices and 2-3 links. Performance of the network is dependent on the capacity of central hub.
• Easy to connect new nodes or devices. In star topology new nodes can be added easily without affecting rest of the network. Similarly components can also be removed easily.
•  Centralized management. It helps in monitoring the network.
•  Failure of one node or link doesn’t affect the rest of network. At the same time its easy to detect the failure and troubleshoot it.

   5.     Mesh Topology

Mesh Topology

•  Data can be transmitted from different devices simultaneously. This topology can withstand high traffic.
• Even if one of the components fails there is always an alternative present. So data transfer doesn’t get affected.
• Expansion and modification in topology can be done without disrupting other nodes.

   6.     Hybrid Topology

• Hybrid, as the name suggests, is mixture of two different things.
• Similarly in this type of topology we integrate two or more different topologies to form a resultant topology which has good points(as well as weaknesses) of all the constituent basic topologies rather than having characteristics of one specific topology.
• This combination of topologies is done according to the requirements of the organization.

   7.     Tree Topology

• A tree topology is a special type of structure in which many connected elements are arranged like the branches of a tree.
• For example, tree topologies are frequently used to organize the computers in a corporate network, or the information in a database.
• In a tree topology, there can be only one connection between any two connected nodes.
• Because any two nodes can have only one mutual connection, tree topologies form a natural parent-child hierarchy.

!           Network Device:

Equipment’s that connect directly to a network segment is referred to a device.

These devices are broken up into two classification:

   1.    End-User Device

These are the device that include computer, printer, scanner, and other device that provides service directly to user.

 

   2.   Network Device

These are the device that include all device that connects end-user device together to allow them to communicate.
