2. Mobile Network

Just like the Wi-Fi, the network band you set your Android device on plays a vita role in determining how many hours your device can last. 3G and 4G network consume so much resources and power, it is best practice to enable 2G network when you are not downloading or using a app that requires high network resources.

5. Disable GPS

GPS is a battery predator, it consumes lots of battery life just like Wi-Fi and/or 3G/4G network. Disable this feature if do not make use of it.

Many of the Apps you close do not exit automatically, they run in your device background. This also consumes battery power. Keep in mind that no app is running in your background. 

10. Use Power Control Widget

Every android device comes with this power control widget, if it’s already in your homescreen, then it's okay. Otherwise long press on your desktop and select the widget and scroll till you didn’t get the power control widget.

11. Close Mobile Vibration

Do you really need that vibration? If you do, you have to choose between vibration and battery life. Only turn on vibration when the condition is right. Maybe in a situation where you don't want sound from ringtones and notification to become a bore to the guys around you.
