Samsung Galaxy J3 V / J3 (2016) - View / Extend Battery Life

Here's how to extend battery life, view charging status / remaining battery and determine what uses the most power on your Galaxy J3 V / J3 (2016).

Battery life is measured by standby time and talk time.

Standby time is the amount of time the device stays powered on with no voice, data or other usage.

Talk time is based on voice usage.

Using data such as web browsing, apps, or streaming reduces overall talk time.

Apps and processes are listed from highest to lowest percentage of power consumption. Review any high or unusual battery drain.

From a Home screen, navigate:

Apps

Settings

The graph displays the time since it was last charged to 100%.

BATTERY USAGE

From the 'Past and predicted usage' section, review the estimated usage time remaining.

From the 'Recent battery usage' section, review the usage (e.g., Screen, Android System, etc.).

Percentage indicates how much battery usage occurred for each category.

To improve battery life, you can:

Disable or uninstall apps (e.g., live wallpapers, etc.) that are consuming too much battery or RAM or aren't being used.

Contact the app developer if an app appears to cause excessive battery drain.

Adjust brightness settings to lowest setting or use Automatic brightness.

Turn off GPS when not in use.

If disabled, certain apps or services may not work properly.

Turn off vibrate mode if not used.

Ensure battery optimizations aren't ignored; make sure accounts (e.g., email, Facebook® , etc.) are turned on or off as desired.

Remove widgets that automatically update.
