I&#x27;ve also disabled all notifications except texts and calls. I can look up for messages myself if I have time and I want to. A silent phone means a happy user.<p>Further, I&#x27;ve used the weirdly named &quot;Wifi&#x2F;Data Auto Off&#x2F;On&quot; application¹ to disconnect mobile data and wifi except when the display is on. This helps me get days of battery if I don&#x27;t do much with the phone. It also makes it easy to ration the battery: when I do something with the phone, I use the battery; when I don&#x27;t do anything with the phone, the battery drains very, very slowly. Thus, I don&#x27;t get surprises as the charge will be depleted only when I decide it&#x27;s all right to use it. And nicely enough I don&#x27;t get a zillion notifications all the time which would urge me to look at the phone again and again, further consuming the battery.<p>¹) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.whueric.dataonoff&amp;hl=en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.whueric.da...</a>
