The battery and data are, possibly, two of the most precious goods we have on our mobile.If we run out of battery we will not be able to use the mobile, while if we end the data rate we will be forced to sail slowly.In the case at hand, we will see how to save battery and data in EMUI.

EMUI, for which he does not know exactly what it is, is the customization layer of Huawei and Honor mobiles.It is a software developed by Huawei that adds endless additional options to Android, many of them focused on performance.In this article we learn to take advantage of.

Know the different performance modes

Let's start with the most basic.EMUI makes available to the user several battery savings modes, each more aggressive. Puedes encontrarlos en Ajustes > Batería y se describen de la siguiente forma:

With either you will be able to squeeze the mobile battery a little more.The only one that you must make sure not to activate is the maximum performance, since that will do the opposite of what we are looking for.

Use the system manager

Emui, like Miui or One UI, has a system manager that allows the device to optimize.This detects the heaviest applications that are working in the background, which can be useful for you to know what you should close and what does not. Para acceder a él, ve a Ajustes < Batería y pulsa en "Optimizar consumo de energía".

By the way, the manager will offer you some recommendations to further increase autonomy, such as deactivating GPS or automatic synchronization.

Disable the connections you do not use...

Although Wi -Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and NFC connections do not consume excess, consume more being activated than deactivated.Therefore, if you are not going to use them, the ideal thing is to go to the adjustments and deactivate any connection that can be consuming battery in the background.It takes a moment and possibly manages to scratch a few minutes of life to battery.

...and automatic synchronization

Automatic synchronization basically serves for the device to synchronize your real -time Google account.This is used to save contacts in the Google account or calendar events, to receive Gmail emails, Google Drive files, etc.. Desactivarla es tan sencillo como ir a Ajustes > Usuarios y cuentas, pulsar en los tres puntitos de la esquina superior derecha y desmarcar la casilla "Sincronización automática".

Control the applications that start automatically

EMUI allows to restrict applications that can start automatically.It is activated by default and works automatically, closing and prohibiting the execution of heavy apps when little battery remains.You can leave it like this or you can manually mark the applications that you do not want to start alone.

Para acceder a él, simplemente ve a Batería > Inicio de aplicaciones.If you click on the three points above you will see a record of beginnings thanks to which you can know what applications are those that are continuously waking up to the mobile and acting accordingly.

Leave the brightness in automatic

If you want to save drums, leaving automatic brightness is a good idea.Why?Because if you have it in manual and go up to the maximum when you go out, you can forget to lower it when they are indoors and, therefore, spend more battery.With automatic brightness, the mobile will detect the ambient light and adapt to it.

Update the operating system

Update is good.Updates not only fix security failures, but can solve bugs and failures that are generating an unnecessary battery expense.If you have any pending update, install it. Para comprobarlo, ve a Ajustes > Sistema > Actualización de software y comprueba si hay alguna versión reciente.

Activate smart data savings

We go to mobile data.EMUI has a most interesting option called "Smart Data Savings".This allows to reduce the use of data preventing the apps from receiving or sending data in the background, as well as limiting access to data on applications that we use least.

Having it activated can mean receiving notifications less frequently or late, but it is the price to be paid to save those few data that is left before the month ends. Para habilitarlo, ve a Ajustes > Conexione inalámbricas y redes > Uso de datos > Ahorro de datos inteligente y marca la casilla.If you want, you can activate exceptions so that some apps can use the network without problem (see WhatsApp, for example).

Remove access to the network of those apps that you don't use much

If there is any application that is abusing the data in the background even if you are not using it, EMUI allows you to save the connection to put an end to the problem. Es tan sencillo como ir a Ajustes > Conexione inalámbricas y redes > Uso de datos > Acceso a la red y desmarcar las casillas "WiFi" y "datos móviles".It works with both apps installed and system applications.

When you uncheck the boxes, the application in question will not be able to connect to the network.You can take it further by clicking on the arrow that appears next to "Network Settings" and selecting "Advanced Network Settings".On this new screen you can prevent apps from using the background data, ideal for games or apps that we only want to connect when we are going to use them.
