To be very honest - most mobile phone batteries simply aren't fit for purpose. In order to keep your Smartphone battery lasts for a full "working" day you're often forced to deactivate the very features that make the phone "smart" to begin with, as you turn off option after option to fix your rapidly-dying new mobile through a day of worthwhile use.
Here we'll discuss very basic Android battery-saving solutions, as well as the few important tips and tricks that could make a great difference...
1. Switch off Auto-sync - If you're not a frequent user of the Google life-management apps, turn them off. If you can live without Google Calendar and Gmail, it's possible to do away with auto-sync altogether - just remember to manually sync your Contacts every once in a while, in case you drop your phone in the pool.
2.Using Android Power Control widget - The best way of save your battery life is indeed to dumb-down all-powerful new phone by switching off some of the features - but do it in a proper way. Don't just leave everything switched off all the time. 3. Disable 3G Connectivity Option- I guess using 2G is perfect for calls and texts, so turn off 3G unless you're planning a bit of emergency web browsing on your phone. You'll also benefit from the general feeling of increased calmness that follows naturally once you've stopped staring at the 3G icon every two minutes and fretting about what your mobile network connection state is.

4. Decrease the Screen Brightness - As impressive as it might be to have your amazing OLED screen oozing out so much light that the current inhabitants of the International Space Station have to squint and decrease the sun visors when you wake it up, it's completely unnecessary.
5.Check on the Status Updates - Lower the status update notification frequency in any apps that constantly update you every second what everyone is doing and you'll maybe still have a bit of battery left by bed time. 6. Switch off GPS - GPS is a huge power-drainer, and you hardly use it most of the time. Even famed mobile-sensitive app Foursquare can do a good enough job of tracking you down via approximations based on which mobile maps you're connected to, so unless you're actually doing a bit of serious navigation action, turn it off.
7. Installing a Time-sensitive Power Manager - There are many time and location based apps on the Android Market which automatically handle your phone's power and communications settings. For example, there's no point leaving your phone connected to the mobile network when you are sleeping - so a simple app like Airplane Auto switch, which kills all radio communications, will save loads of power and also help you sleep uninterrupted by notification pings.
8. Have a Travel Charger - Get a travel charger and leave it in a friend's car. Also leave USB cables everywhere. There's no guaranteed way to beat the system, but you should always have option at your disposal.
