There may be some cases that the apps developed for KitKat may not work well for Lollipop and Marshmallow so in that cases that app will misbehave for sure.

To explore that is pretty easy as Lollipop and Marshmallow have the best battery monitoring tool under Battery Section in Settings. This tool will monitors the battery usage of all apps and Android system. Ofcourse the top battery drainer is your Android screen.

You can just tap on the app that is utilizing more battery and tap on Force Stop button to stop that app. You cannot simply do that for default apps from here, for default apps you need to go to Settings->Apps (Application Manager) -> Select the app and disable or uninstall it from here (you cannot uninstall default apps as you don’t have permissions to do that).

Switch to safe mode

Many times you will keep your phone idle may be during night times or if you are in office or in journey, during that times it is better to keep your phone in safe mode which will disable all third party apps and thus reducing the battery draining issues.

Reboot your Android Phones at regular intervals

As android is based on Linux OS and as a techie I know that some zombie processes will be running because of app crashes etc. To free up RAM and kill all the orphan processes a reboot will help better and keeps the phones healthy and therefore the battery life will be enhanced.

I personally suggest you to poweroff your phone and restart it atleast once a week to keep your phone and battery healthy. You will see the change for sure.

Disable Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS and Mobile Data if not used

Most of the times we forget to disable the services which we have started like Bluetooth, Mobile data, Locations etc. They will continue to use the battery even if you are not using those services. So, the best way to save battery draining is take care of disabling the services after the use. GPS will use considerable amount of battery as it need to communicate with the Global Positioning system satellite.

You might be knowing that Mobile Data is the largest consumer of battery and it is the reason for the heating issues. So, turn off your mobile data whenever not required.

Use Airplane mode/flight mode if the signal is poor

This is really an interesting fact that each and every one should know. If signal strength is poor then your device will be busy in search of signal or network and also it really require large amount of charge to communicate to the base station tower. So, its better to switch into flight mode if you are at poor network locations.

This will significantly improves your battery life and helps to sustain for more hours. You can try this, your phone will heat up if you are at poor network locations.

Screen brightness really matters when concerned about battery life. As most part of your battery will be consumed by the screen, you need to be very selective to choose when to increase the brightness and when to reduce it.
