Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Ignoring High Battery Consumption Warnings
Reason: Android often highlights apps using excessive battery. Ignoring these warnings means you're letting power-hungry apps continue to drain your battery.
Solution: Check your battery usage settings regularly and address apps consuming unusually high amounts of power.
2. Leaving Location Services Always On
Reason: Constantly using GPS and location services drains the battery significantly, even when you're not actively using location-based apps.
Solution: Turn off location services or set it to 'Battery saving' mode unless actively needed by an app.
3. Not Utilizing Battery Optimization Features
Reason: Android provides built-in battery optimization features that restrict background activity for certain apps. Many users don't take advantage of these tools.
Solution: Enable Android's built-in battery optimization settings and selectively restrict background activity for less crucial apps.

Consider these: Poor cellular signal in your area (constantly searching), using high-brightness settings, running multiple resource-intensive apps simultaneously, having outdated system software, a failing battery, or even extreme temperatures.
