I have a new Samsung tablet. Three months after the purchase, I noticed that battery of the new tablet is draining off very quickly. Can you give me some suggestions to extend the battery life of my tablet?

1. Lower your screen brightness – reducing the brightness of your screen can greatly improve your battery life. 

2. Turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other wireless connections when not in use.

3. Turn off auto-sync features – such as those for email, calendar and contacts – when not in use.

4. Limit your background apps – close applications when not in use.

5. Turn off vibrate – disabling the vibrate setting can help to conserve your battery life. 

6. Use airplane mode – when you’re in an area with no signal, switch to airplane mode to save battery life.

7. Avoid extreme temperatures – extreme temperatures can damage your battery and reduce its life.

8. Charge your battery correctly – use only the charger that was provided with your tablet to charge the battery. 

9. Install a battery-saving app – there are several apps available that can help you to manage the power settings of your tablet and extend battery life. 

10. Calibrate your battery – calibrating your battery regularly can help to extend its life.

When this happens it normally has to do with the configuration and setup of the tablet.

  1. Check to see what apps you have opened and running in the background.
  2. Close apps that you are not using.
  3. If you have apps that always check for updates, change the setting so that they no longer do.
  4. When you are done using an app, close it and don't just click away. The app will stay running in the background and drain your battery.
  5. Turn off your location service if you're not using them. This will always drain a battery.
  6. Check your setting and turn off all things that you don't use or need. There are many things in the setting that will drain the life of a battery.
  7. I finally had to delete the Facebook app from my tablet because it was a major battery drain. I noticed this on a few other apps that I didn't really use much. It is best to get rid of all of them.
  8. If you are still having major issues, back up your table to the cloud or your computer. Now do a factory reset. This might be a small pinhole on the side or back of the tablet that you can use a paperclip to reset the table back to factory setting. This will always correct these problems with a tablet. You can easily reload your information back on.

Reduce screen brightness, remove unwanted or rarely used apps, clear cache/ recently used apps/activities once you return to your home page. Games will consume more battery power, so use it judiciously. My opinion is not to use apps something called power booster, speed booster, or phone security etc. Its nothing to do with  your phone or tablet.

Full initial charge

Remove battery if not in use for a long period

Fully discharge and recharge

Avoid extreme temperatures

Clean the contacts: Clean your laptop battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol every few months

This is great advice for a laptop. On the Samsung tablet, it is quite difficult to pop the back panel off the table to get to the battery. I know a few people who have tried this on their own and broken their screen. I don't think this is a wise thing to do. I've had to repair the tablet and you'll need a special tool that can get between the seal and open the back panel without damaging the screen.

In order to retain the battery charge of your tablet is to always close the application that you are not using and just in case that you are using data on your tablet you need to turn it off if you don't use it because data connection consumes a lot of charge on your battery. don't use it while charging and please make sure that you lower the brightness of your screen not just by retaining the battery charge it is also good for your eyes. I can suggest that you can use DU battery saver application but if you still encounter a problem on your tablet you need to bring that back to Samsung store for them to check up the battery since that you've been using that for just 3 months.

Whenever you're charging your phone, its advisable to switch it to airplane mode. Have tied it and can confirm that in airplane mode, the phone/tablet tends to charge faster.

Don't use your tablet when it's charging, let it charge to 100% you can use it. Using your phone when its charging reduces the charging pace and this destroys the battery life.

You can always reduce your phone's performance by turning on the battery saver, reducing the tablet's brightness and at times avoid vibrations just a normal ringtone with vibration is okay.

Make sure to remove the power after the charge. Make sure to discharge for say 2 hours and then recharge again. And also make sure to regular cool down the laptop. That is how the battery life can be retained. It is possible if you know how to do that routine on regular or say daily basis.

you can put it in low battery mode, turn down brightness, put apps to sleep that you're not currently using because apps take up energy a lot

Adjust Screen Brightness: Reduce the screen brightness to an optimal level. The screen is one of the biggest power consumers on a tablet, so lowering the brightness can significantly extend battery life.

Use Wi-Fi Instead of Cellular Data: When possible, connect to Wi-Fi networks instead of using cellular data. Using Wi-Fi consumes less power compared to maintaining a cellular data connection.

Disable Unnecessary Connectivity Features: Turn off Bluetooth, GPS, and NFC when you're not actively using them. These features consume battery power even when not in use.

Limit Background App Refresh: Disable or limit background app refresh for applications that don't require real-time updates. This feature can drain the battery by constantly updating apps in the background.

Close Unused Apps: Close apps that are running in the background but not in use. Keeping multiple apps open can consume battery power as they continue to run in the background.

Enable Power-Saving Mode: Most tablets have a power-saving mode or battery optimization feature. Enable this mode to automatically adjust various settings and conserve battery life.

Minimize Notifications: Reduce the number of notifications or selectively enable them for essential apps. Frequent notifications can wake up the tablet and drain the battery.

Use Airplane Mode in Low-Signal Areas: In areas with weak or no cellular signal, switch to airplane mode or turn off cellular data to prevent the tablet from continuously searching for a network, which can drain the battery quickly.

Control Auto-Lock and Sleep Settings: Shorten the auto-lock or sleep time for your tablet so that it enters sleep mode more quickly when idle. This helps conserve battery power.

Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Exposure to very high or low temperatures can negatively impact the battery life of your tablet. Keep it within the recommended temperature range to maintain optimal battery performance.

  • Keep the brightness of your screen low. The brighter your screen, the more battery power it uses.
  • Close apps that you're not using. Apps that are running in the background can use battery power, even if you're not using them.
  • Update your tablet's software. Software updates often include battery optimization features that can help you extend your battery life.
  • Use a power-saving mode. Most tablets have a power-saving mode that can help you extend your battery life.
