These settings are often overlooked but have a huge impact on battery life.

1. Disable Auto System Updates

Auto-updates can install buggy versions that drain battery. To turn it off:

• Go to Developer Options → Auto Update System → Toggle off.
  This lets you review updates first, avoiding unexpected battery issues.

2. Enable Wi-Fi Scan Throttling

Constant Wi-Fi scanning uses more battery. This setting reduces scan frequency:

• In Developer Options → Wi-Fi Scan Throttling → Toggle on.
  It improves network performance and cuts battery drain.

3. Limit Background Processes

Too many apps running in the background kill battery. Set a strict limit:

• Go to Background Process Limit → Select At Most One Process.
  Only the app you’re using will run—others stop.

4. Stop Unnecessary Running Services

Check which services are active and stop unused ones:

• Open Running Services → Tap on any service not in use → Stop.
  This frees up resources and saves battery.
