This article will teach you how to extend the battery life of your Nexus 5 mobile device. You can either try setting-up the Elemental X or scroll down even further and try the less complicated options.
But let’s begin by telling you about the Elemental X which is a good kernel alternative if users wish to change the stock Android. This ”kernel” we are referring to is the major link that helps communication run smoothly between the hardware and the software of the mobile device. So, in order to substitute the kernel, you will need a bootloader, root and also a personalized recovery installation.
How does this function?
You can either choose the preset alternative with default elements, or you can play experiment with the settings and change them by hand. The latter is a more avant-garde alterative and it is not an easy one to handle.
Quick tips on how to set-up Elemental X kernel :
- Go to ElementalX website on your Nexus 5 and set-up the kernel for the version of Android you are currently operating on.
- Switch off your device and begin the reboot process to the bootloader. You have to press&hold power as well as Volume Down. Hold these buttons until you notice the screen with a tiny robotic figure.
- By using the volume keys you must point up Recovery mode and then simply hold power to validate the operation.
- When you phone is in recovery mode, you must find the kernel you just downloaded. The whole procedure will depend upon the type of custom recovery you set-up on the device. You have the ClockworkMod recovery and the Team Win Recovery Project.
If you think this is too much or too complex, try the following gimmicks:
Switch off the luminosity
Of course the display of your phone is a pretty strong source of battery dissipation. So in order to fix this, go to Settings—Battery. If you have the tendency to believe that you can fix this by tailoring the optimal luminosity, you’re wrong. This is because the phone’s light sensor hasn’t got the capacity to readjust to this kind of fix-up. So instead, choose the lowest luminosity level, one you feel comfortable using.
Set “sleep mode” to 15 seconds
If you turn off your screen, you will significantly improve battery life. Normally, your phone’s display should shut down, but this is not working as it should. So rather then leaving the screen of the phone in” on” mode for a couple of minutes, make sure it stays ”awake” for just a few seconds. You can set it to 15 seconds, thus improving you battery’s life span.
Battery Saver: on
This is a great option for all you Nexus 5 users. This solution will immediately make major improvements. But it will cost you a few features, for instance the vibration mode of your phone will no longer function, or you won’t be able to synchronize your accounts. But if you come to think about it, it’s a sacrifice worth making in order to have a long-lasting mobile device.
Make sure your Nexus 5 is updated
When you upgrade, you automatically improve your battery. If you have the Android 5.0 Lollipop, you actually add 10% to you battery’s life span. Not bad at all. So make sure you constantly search for these updates. For this you must go to Settings—About phone—System Updates.
Bluetooth&Location Off
This is a pretty basic rule: Bluetooth must not be active, when it is not used. With the Location feature it can be pretty tricky though. This is because you use it for all kinds of services and even applications. But this should also be off for the sake of your battery.
