Disable location reporting and history
GPS is a huge battery hog, as it harnesses data from the phone's GPS chip, cell phone towers, and Wi-Fi hotspots to find your location. The more a phone surveys your location, the more battery it uses. And that goes beyond just Google Maps.
Location reporting and location history are two GPS-based services with somewhat unclear motives. According to a Google Help page, the services can be used in conjunction with any other Google Apps, and may be used to improve your experience.
Chances are you can probably live without them, so disable these two features by going to Settings) Location) Google Location Reporting.
Disable Google Now cards
Now is an unmatched personal assistant, but some of its services-- which come in the form of informational "cards"-- are tireless battery drains.
A card titled "Nearby places" shows you nearby attractions when you travel to a place that Google recognizes is out of your usual routine. To disable cards, go to Google Now, then scroll down to the very bottom, and tap the magic wand. As a general guide, the GPS-reliant cards will demand the most battery, so disable cards like "Travel time" and "Nearby places" to see a battery boost.
Wi-Fi scanning
It's well-known that when Wi-Fi is left enabled, more energy is used. On Android, even when Wi-Fi is disabled, a phone could still be searching for networks.
To make sure this isn't happening, head to Wi-Fi settings) Advanced. Here, uncheck the option for Wi-Fi scanning.
Going forward, you'll have to connect to Wi-Fi manually, but you'll get a longer battery life in return.
Use the battery tool
If you're unsure how energy-demanding an app is, or you're wondering why your battery is draining so quickly, use the Battery tool. The feature shows you which apps use the most battery, with the top two items almost always being Screen and Wi-Fi.
