Imagine you are going to work and is arriving late. You want to call your boss to let you know but just realize that your cell has run out of battery .
And, one of the biggest pains head of smartphone users is the lack of battery life.
It is true that there is a number of tricks and tips able to optimize but so far no one had been able to create a technology that would allow the batteries last longer than a few days . But a US university researchers claim to have the formula for a few extra minutes in the use of Android phones.
This is HUSH , A new tool software that promises to reduce the drain on battery power because of applications when the screen is off , reaching down on a 16% battery consumption of smartphones.
HUSH
A study by Purdue University, Android applications are responsible for 29% of energy expenditure of the Battery when the display is not active.
HUSH eliminates activities that run in the background that are initiated by multiple Android apps when the screen is off.
According to investigators , computer bugs and problems cause the application not be disabled at the time the user stop using them.
“Applications periodically wake up the phone while the screen is off to perform tasks but then let the phone back to sleep because of software errors “, said Charlie Hu , a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue, and a member of the research team.
How it works
Although many applications are important for the functioning of the device, not all are necessary.
For example, it is useful to our e- Electronic perform processes with off so we learn that we have a new mail screen, but do not want a game remains active when you are not using.
In that sense, the application is ready to identify processes and applications that are not helpful for users of smartphones.
Hush ineffective identifies applications based on the user’s activities and how often applications are used.
It is known that reduction in the discharge of batteries contribute to an increase in battery life of smartphones.
“Our goal is to double the life of batteries of smartphones, “Hu said.
For the study, project researchers employed 2,000 units of Galaxy S3 and S4 up to 61 countries .
