How to Watch World Cup Live and Keep Your Phone Charged

World Cup season is near. For people who don’t have a TV or will be out of the house during the game, they are likely to use their phones to watch the game directly. With a Wi-Fi connection, smartphones can easily broadcast the World Cup wherever you go. Yet, smartphones can only last for about 9 hours and when videos are playing, the battery drains out even quicker. To avoid this hassle caused by batteries all used-up, there are two ways to solve this problem. One is to save your smartphone’s battery life, the other is to juice up it with a power bank.

Method One: Save Smartphone Battery Life

There are various ways to save smartphone battery life, the core of them lies in limiting certain functions and disabling background apps. Specifically speaking, there are six tips.

First, keep the screen timeout short. You can find an option labeled “Screen Timeout”, “Sleep” or something similar under the phone’s display setting menu. Android’s general screen timeout time is 15 seconds. If you want to save more battery life, the fewer minutes, the better.

Second, dim the screen brightness or use auto brightness. The colorful and bright screen may be nice to view, but you will never imagine how consuming they are to your smartphone. By setting auto brightness, the phone can adjust its brightness to a probable degree and ensure the normal brightness. Generally speaking, the weaker the light is, the longer the battery life will be.

Third, turn off Bluetooth and GPS. Bluetooth can bring enjoyment in listening to music, yet if you turn it off you can add an hour or more to your phone’s battery life. GPS is required by many apps for monitoring location, which seems unnecessary when at home. By a click of settings and location, you can easily turn off it and save battery life.

Fourth, disable the background app, such as push email, communication app. Having a continual connection to Wi-Fi or mobile data consumes to battery very fast. Disabling these will help save battery life.

Fifth, enable power-saving modes. Enabling power saving mode can limit many functions of phone and automatically reduce battery consuming to a great degree. It might, for example, prevent apps from updating in the background, dim your screen, reduce the screen timeout setting, disable on-screen animations, and turn off vibration.

Sixth, reboot your phone from time to time, rather than leaving it in sleep mode all the time. Experts suggest that turning your phone off can help preserve your battery for longer. But don’t bother turning off your phone if it will only be off for a short period of time.

Method Two: Use Your Power Bank
