If you are part of the group of people who own an Android Wear watch, you should already know that the autonomy of these smartwatches does not last a day, especially if you use it constantly. To appease this problem, we propose some tricks to make the battery of your favorite accessory last longer.
1. Block/manage app notifications
The notifications cause the smartwatch's battery to be reduced, although it is true that some are essential to improve the experience of staying connected to your watch, others can riddle you with notifications to the point of becoming intrusive. Fortunately, Android Wear allows you to manage notifications by "blocking applications," an administrator that will allow you to download or delete applications, as well as enable or disable your notifications.To manage the applications allowed or not, you have to:
- Open the "Android Wear" application from the smartphone
- Click on the circular icon of the parameters at the top right, next to the three points
- Open the "block app notifications" option
2. Disable automatic screen brightness management
As with other mobile operating systems, there is an option capable of automatically managing the screen brightness according to the conditions in which you are. Far from being useful, this option consumes a lot of energy because it is always trying to process the exterior light to adjust the brightness of the screen.To disable automatic brightness management, you have to:
- Go to the applications menu
- Open the clock parameters
- Then go to Adjust brightness
3. Activate Cinema mode
As the name implies, Cinema mode allows you not to worry about the watch, since the smartwatch goes to a semi-hybrid mode that turns off the screen and only resumes with the power button. Once activated, the option is deactivated as if by magic.To activate it, you have to:
- Expand the top panel
- Click on the clock icon
4. Restrict connectivity
Limiting the Wi-Fi connection, NFC, or even the location also helps to save battery, so that the watch is not constantly looking for a connection for each of them.To disable this option, you have to:
- Go to the applications menu
- Open the clock parameters
- Click on the connectivity menu
5. Disable wrist movements
Turning off wrist movements also helps make your smartwatch's battery last longer. The "Wrist movements" option allows you to slide the Google Now notes. This particular function is pending movements, so it requires the use of resources and battery.- Display the right panel of the clock
- Open the clock parameters
- Then, go down to the "Wrist movements" option and deactivate it
- Observe the effects
To do this, you have to:
- Open the "Android Wear" application on your smartphone
- Click on the parameters at the top right, next to the three points
- Open the menu with the name clock
