Well here we made a small compilation of all the options that can affect the battery consumption of the terminal. Some affected more directly than others, but they all add up. I have classified into several sections, to ensure that more clear:
SCREEN
SCREEN
- The brightness is probably what most sucks, which must take special care in the levels we use. We keep trying to leave the minimum level at which we see easily, never coming to eyestrain. Manually set to 4-6% is usually fine (with the application MySettings can be easily adjusted). This is more than enough in most cases, where more can be given quickly to the notification bar icon or widget power control and fixed. Set the brightness automatically in advance may seem like the best option, but to think that also means that the light sensor and measuring is continuously working with its corresponding consumption.
- Adjust the brightness level also we have set in Internet browsers, GPS applications and video players mainly because they are independent of the system.
- When we go to leave the mobile tranquil, get used to bunt to give the power button to go to sleep immediately. It seems silly, but if we account ... Let's say we do 25 times a day easy, multiplied by the 30 seconds that we have set up to go to inactivity leave us about 750 seconds (more than 12 minutes!) That the terminal has been active in a single day, in vain .
MULTIMEDIA
- Beware of widgets, which are very nice but tend to consume network resources. I refer especially to those who tend to be continually running and / or updating data.
- Use a non-animated background, and the predominant tone black / dark, which require less light in the pixels and therefore less energy to be visualized.
- Disable animations for transitions between windows (Settings - Sound and Display - Entertainment - No animation.)
- Disable sound when typing on the screen.
- Turn off the vibration when you touch the screen.
- Clear the selection audible.
- Moderate amounts of incoming call notification, multimedia, and messaging system.
- Assign timeout at 15-30 seconds.
- If you use release pattern, off use a tactile response.
- Off the tune that sounds when you turn the phone. The first few times good, but then even a bit tired. And if you are someone who enciences / off daily probably be interested. It is made from the comfort of SGS Utility Tools: Modify Boot Sound / Shutdown Sound.

- Disable power saving mode (Settings - Sound and screen - power saving mode). Is a utility that continuously measures the white balance and brightness levels. It is a further process to consume, if we already have some level of brightness, dark background and disabled the automatic brightness, little is going to solve. And in the end it burns more battery that saves us.
CONNECTIONS
- Remember to turn off Wifi - Bluetooth - GPS when not in use.
- How to take this into GSM network while you're not using 3G for data or video. We usually best coverage and does not waste battery data and unnecessary traffic. (Settings - Mobile networks - Network mode - GSM only). Another option we tend to connect more comfortable if it is taken into 3G mode, but data connections disabled. A quick and effective way to do this is with the free market of APNdroid.
- To use the wireless at home, consider using static IP instead of dynamic. Always go better on the net, except that to use certain applications will be indispensable to take it. And while a percentage will avoid unnecessary shipping / receiving packets to negotiate / renew IP, request configuration data transfer ...
- Check the configuration of wireless inactivity policy. In Settings - Wireless - Wireless Settings - Advanced, you can have it set to never , which although the phone is in standby, it really is permanently connected to the network, with significant expense.

- Off reference data (Settings - Accounts and timing). This is the loophole through which applications connect in the background with little control, it saves more battery power than it might seem, and the way we can better control our privacy.
- Disable automatic syncing (Settings - Accounts and synchronization - Auto Sync.) This will make for example the calendar and mail checks occur automatically, but when we indicate or we need.
- Off Use networks as we do not need to issue some locations (Settings - Location and security).
- Off Use my location until it is then necessary (Settings - Privacy - Use my location.)
- Disable automatic checking Samsung applications (in Applications - Samsung Apps - Disabled).
- Disable broadcast messages (Messaging - Settings - Activation of CB).
- Disable automatic time synchronization (Settings - Time - Auto.)
- If we are often periods of time without coverage, you should change as both the flight mode. So the phone does not try vainly searching for networks, with full power of your antenna as well.

- Check occasionally the availability of firmware updates and upgrades, since one of the feature often is just getting better and consumption. In this complete thread Go Back see at any time as is the situation.
- Monitor and control the application of instant messaging, and although it may seem that most of time doing nothing, really active and are permanently connected to the network.

- Instead of having some programilla to constantly tell us the percentage of time remaining, it is more practical to change directory icon the system. So we stay more elegant, and spare us another application in memory. Again in this thread Go Back is a very good handbook to do so.
- NoLED. For those who use this exciting application, remember that when you get the notice keeps the screen on, with a corresponding expense. It is advisable to limit the duration Announcement to 1 hour for example, typically enough time to see, and also reverses frequent email alerts to keep you connect to us alone and check every so often. From what I tested, for every hour that we have some little icon on the screen consumes about 10% extra battery, so watch, hence the recommendation to limit the time of the notice. And for long periods of time when we are not going to ignore the phone, for example at night, it is interesting to use the new option of time off and time on the alert.
- When ready to leave the phone idle for a period (overnight, for example), coping using a task killer to close unnecessary applications before it unserviceable. Some of these tools, such as Advanced Task Killer can be configured to also release resources every time X automatically.
- Monitor the applications you install, as there are some that are running continuously as background services, with consequent consumption. Use only the essentials with these characteristics.
- Check often more detailed statistics of our consumption, by pressing * # * # 4636 # * # * Often find little use and applications that have a high consumption above.
- also helpful to add a shortcut to the battery on the home screen. This can be more directly controlling what is eating up the phone, either the screen, music player, browser ... To do this tap the screen and select Shortcuts - Settings - Using the battery.

Many of these recommendations can be checked and on / off easily with some free utilities, such as MySettings, SGS tools ...
Changelog:
- 22/09/2010: Added various tips (energy saving, static IP, check for updates, the battery icon), corrections of others, and removed the control of the frequencies of micro .
- 15/10/2010: point out some details and added some other suggestions.
- 10/11/2010: A few more remarks.
Obviously the list can be completed by all, so suggestions are welcome:)
