The features running in the background are one of the biggest reason of battery drain. Other reasons include improper upgrade as we see in Sony Xperia C and many other smart phones in which one faces quick battery from certain percentage within few minutes.
On the request of Sony Xperia C users we today present you with android battery tweaks that will surely increase battery life of Xperia C or any other smart phone.
Android Battery tweaks can be divided into various steps which include installation of apps or manually configuring your android phone.
We would request you to root your android phone in order to get good results.
Tweak I: Charge your android phone upto 100%. Now install Battery calibration app from playstore. Run the battery calibration app and click on calibrate battery. It requires root access. If you are asked for root permission then please grant root access. By doing this there will not be sharp fall in the battery usage like from 13% to 2% within seconds as this will show you accurate usage.
Tweak II: This tweak will aim at restricting background processes. We mean whenever you open any application and then directly press home button without closing the apps correctly and then you switch over other application. This leads to the consumption of more battery because, the app you directly switched over is still running in the background. To solve the same first of all Enable Developer Tools for your android smart phone. I you don’t see the option of developer tools then manually add it by going to settings and then going to about phone followed by Tapping 4-5 times on the build number, then automatically you will see the developer options in the settings menu.
Just open Developer options and look for the the background apps settings which are generally found at the end. There you can set to No MultiTasking or don’t keep activities – which will kill all the background running apps to work simultaneously. If you do not want to do so, then you can also set the number of Maximum apps that could run in background while using them simultaneously. If you are opening more apps then the number you specified then the older apps get killed first.
Tweak III: It is not correct to say, using Internet on Android phone causes excessive data charges and also consume battery. It is not true until a newbie is using Android phone. This also leads to consumption of more battery when you Internet and many apps simultaneously consume your data 24 hours, a few are Play Store, Update Center and many more such apps. So we have the solution for the same. First of all go to settings, then go to Data Usage and now select the app you want to limit data usage off. Like we selected Facebook to give an example and then tap on Restrict Background Data. This will off your Facebook (here) to run in background and consume data and battery.
Now our further Android Battery Tweaks will be based on using Third Party Apps.
Tweak IV: Usage of Clean Master app can make your phone run smoothly and faster. As one can download Clean Master from the Play store for free, although it also has premium version too. One can just tap on brush which appears on your homescreen after installing it, by doing so all your background processes stops and you get more free RAM and hence less battery consumption.

But do remember never stop Android Process; this will lead to crash of android system and you will need to restart. One can install Startup Manager to do the same.
Tweak V: Download and install NO Frills CPU control from Playstore, using this app just set up ypur maximum and minimum clock speed of CPU, but do remember do not put it to least as this would slow your phone and now just restart after applying the settings. If you want to revert back then again set default clockspeed of CPU, and then restart again. Full procedure is explained here: How to set CPU speed to save battery.
