content:How to Enable Developer Options First

Ever waited 3-4 hours for your phone to charge fully? It’s frustrating, especially when you’re in a hurry. The good news is, hidden inside your phone’s Developer Options are 5 settings that can cut charging time to just 27-28 minutes, as shared in a popular tech video. After analyzing the video, I’ve broken down these steps into an easy-to-follow guide so you can try them today.

First, you need to enable Developer Options—since it’s disabled by default on new phones. Here’s how:

  1. Open your phone’s Settings app.
  2. Scroll down to About Phone and tap it.
  3. Select Software Info (or similar, depending on your device).
  4. Tap the Build Number 7 times in a row. You’ll see a message saying “Developer Options enabled.”

Once enabled, go back to Settings—you’ll find Developer Options listed there. Now, let’s dive into the 5 settings.

1. Disable Auto System Updates

Auto-updates run in the background while charging, using power that could go to your battery. To fix this:
In Developer Options, find Auto Update System and turn it off. This ensures no updates download or install until your phone is fully charged.

2. Turn Off “Always Keep Mobile Data On”

This setting keeps mobile data active even when you turn it off, draining battery during charging. To disable:
Look for Always Keep Mobile Data On (or similar wording) and switch it off. This stops background data usage, saving power for charging.

3. Enable Wi-Fi Scan Throttling

Wi-Fi scans drain battery by constantly looking for networks. Enabling this setting limits scans:
Find Wi-Fi Scan Throttling and turn it on. As per the video, this reduces battery drain and improves network performance—both help speed up charging.

4. Set Background Process Limit to “At Most 1”

Too many background apps use power. Limiting them to one app saves energy:
Go to Background Process Limit and select “At Most 1.” This closes all extra background apps, so more power goes to charging.

5. Enable “Don’t Keep Activities”

This setting closes all app activities when your phone is locked and charging. To enable:
Find Don’t Keep Activities and turn it on. It stops any background processes from running, ensuring maximum charging speed.

The video’s settings are great, but these extra tips will boost results:

  • Use a high-wattage charger: A 25W+ USB-C charger (like Samsung’s original) delivers more power than standard chargers.
  • Avoid using your phone while charging: Using apps or watching videos slows charging—let it charge undisturbed.
  • Keep your phone cool: Heat reduces charging speed. Charge in a cool place, away from direct sunlight.
