So, what can be done to get that little extra juice out of your smartphone?
Is there any tool?
Yes, there is.
The team discovered that 45.9 percent of daily battery drain happens when our smartphone screens are off.
However, not all of them are important.
Researchers presented findings this week at the ACM MobiCom 2015 conference in Paris.
The ACM is the Association for Computing Machinery Inc.
The researchers detailed their code-based solution to the problem, called HUSH.
The HUSH system can reduce overall battery drain by as much as 15.7 percent, according to the researchers.
The big picture is that we want to double the battery life for smartphones, Hu said.
But this is the first study showing that wakelock bugs appear prevalent on real users phones.
The work was described in a Scientific American podcast.
The good news is that the researchers have made HUSH available for free on GitHub.
The tool can be downloadedherefor free.
The researchers plan to do this soon so that all Android users can use it.
