These tips and tricks are not done by hacking your Lumia device or any other windows phone device. These are the official tips and tricks to reduce the battery usage and save your phone's battery life. All of these tips are very easy to understand and can be done by anyone.

Avoid touching on Antenna

This trick is not only for those devices which are running in windows phone OS, but it is working will all smartphones in the world.

Always full charge your device

Next step to get most out from your smartphone's battery is to keep your device always fully charged. Whenever you charge your device try to full charge the battery rather than keeping within 80% or 90%.

Turn off unnecessary sounds

Muting unnecessary sounds will reduce the battery usage in any smartphone. To mute the unwanted sounds in Lumia devices, On the start screen, swipe down from the top of the screen, tap on ALL SETTINGS>RINGTONES+SOUNDS, and choose which sounds you want to keep turn on.
Use wired headphones, rather than using loudspeakers when you hearing to music or when you watching the videos.

Turn on Battery Saver

The most effective thing to reduce the battery usage in windows phones is turning on the battery saver. To switch the Battery Saver on, on the start screen, swipe down from the top od the screen and tap ALL SETTINGS>BATTERY SAVER. If you want to get most out fro
m your device's battery you may set to battery saver turn on always or until the next charge. Turning on battery saver will affect the device's performance, when the battery saver is turned on you may not be able to change the settings of all apps.

Change the phone screen settings

Set the phone screen to switch off after a short time. Tap on SETTINGS>LOCKSCREEN>SCREEN TIMES OUT AFTER, and set the time to 30 seconds.

Turn off the Glance Screen

Keeping Glance Screen on in windows phone devices is a useful thing to show the time and the important messages without turning on the device's screen. But it uses the more battery power and so reduces the battery life of your Lumia device. You may turn off the Glance Screen in Lumia device to save the battery power usage, Tap on SETTINGS>GLANCE and switch Glance to peek or to switch off.
Note that the Glance Screen feature is not available on all Lumia devices.

Turn off double-tap to wake up

Using double-tap to wake up your Lumia phone is a very good idea to save the lock key button. But as it turning on the device's screen always the battery life will be reduced. So you should use double-tap to wake up only when needed. To turn off this feature go to SETTINGS>TOUCH, and switch wake up to off. The double-tab feature may not available on all Lumia devices.

Adjust Screen Brightness

Set the screen brightness to low to get most out from your Lumia's battery. To do this step tap on SETTINGS>Brightness. Make sure that automatically adjust is switched off. Switch the brightness level to Lo, and then switch automatically adjust to on. For automatically adjust the screen brightness your device must have a light sensor.

There is another tip that you can do with your screen brightness. By keeping battery saver turned on tap on SETTINGS>DISPLAY and switch battery saver brightness on.

Close apps that you are not using

Close the apps that you won't use and stop apps from running in the background. To close most of the apps, press and hold the back key and swipe down the opened apps that you want to close.

Turn off the Location services and Bluetooth

Tap on the SETTINGS>LOCATION and switch Location services to turned off.Turn off  the Bluetooth by tapping on Settings>Bluetooth and switch Bluetooth to turn off.

Switch NFC to off

Switch NFC on only when needed. To switch the NFC off, on the start screen, swipe down from the top of the screen, tap ALL SETTINGS>NFC and switch tap to share off. Not that NFC is not supported by all Lumia devices.

Use WiFi network

Next thing to save battery life in smartphones is use the WiFi connection to get connected with the internet rather than mobile networks as it uses more battery.

Turn off WiFi when you don't use it

Stop WiFi from scanning for connections when you don't want to get connected with the internet. Tap on SETTINGS>WIFI and switch WiFi to off. And turn to manually turn on rather than automatically turning on.

Turning On Flight Mode

If you are listening to music or watching videos, you may turn on flight mode (only if you don't want to get calls and messages). To switch on flight mode in windows phones tap on SETTINGS>AIRPLANE MODE, and switch the status to off.

How to Enable Power saving Mode (Low Power Mode) in iPhone?

Apple added a new feature to the iPhone in iOS 9. Now onwards you will be promoted to activate Power saving Mode (Low power Mode) each time your battery get low charge of 20 percentage. You can also enable this Low Power Mode  from settings without getting battery low. This new feature will help you to save battery of your iPhone for a long time of working.

Here I am sharing you HOW TO ENABLE LOW POWER MODE on an iPhone?

How to Enable Low Power Mode on iPhone ?

Step 1 : If your battery is below 20%, you will be automatically promoted to turn on Low Power Mod.

Step 2 : Go to Settings Menu.

Step 3 : Tap on new added Battery option.

Step 4 : And turn on Low Power Mode.

Step 5 : Save battery on your iPhone.

What Low Power Mode Does?

Low power mode does a number of things to save battery power. It automatically changes some settings to save battery power, disabling automatic fetching of new mail, reducing your screen brightness, and automatically locking the phone and powering off its display more quickly. Apps can detect low power mode is enabled and choose to disable animations and other battery-hungry features, too. 

Motion effects and animated wallpapers are also disabled. Background activities and networking are paused to prevent unnecessary power drain in the background. Your iPhone even automatically reduces the performance of its CPU and GPU, which makes it perform a bit slower but saves battery life. Tests have found that this slows iPhones by about 40 percent when low power mode is enabled. Low power mode is fairly aggressive, which is why it isn’t enabled all the time. It’ll help you squeeze more battery life out of your phone when necessary, but you probably wouldn’t want to use it all the time.
