Improve Battery Life With Android L’s ‘Project Volta’
Battery life may be one of the major attractions of Android L, Google’s upcoming operating system for mobile devices, an enthusiast site reported.Greenbot said an enhancement Google dubbed “Project Volta” is a “suite of enhancements” that seek to “significantly boost your smartphone’s battery life.”
The developer preview of Android L lasted a whopping 36 percent longer than Android 4.4. That’s another two hours of screen-on browsing time! It’s hard to say exactly how this will translate to your own phone, loaded with a variety of different apps running the final version of Android L, but these early results are incredibly encouraging,” it said.
It said these figures were based on a standard battery test by Ars Technica on a Nexus 5 running Android 4.4 (KitKat) and the Android L preview.
The tools in the suite include:
· Battery Historian: a tool to track and visualize battery use. It can help developers profile the energy use of their apps.
· ART runtime: faster and more efficient, and may mean more battery life.
· Battery Saver mode: will lower the processor’s speed, reduce animations, dim the screen, and reduce radio usage.
· JobScheduler API: lets developers define background tasks when certain conditions are met, such as holding sync until the phone is plugged in.
