[POKEMON GO] [TUT] Reducing Battery Consumption. - ๖ۣۜDominate - Jul 16, 2016
[1 . Download your map!!]
Pokemon Go uses Google Map's API, so downloading the map from Google Maps as an offline map should reduce battery consumption and makes things run much more smoother.
( For iPhone, download Google Maps from the Appstore and follow the same instructions )
1 . Open Google Maps.
2 . Go to Settings.
3 . Go to Offline Maps.
4 . Hit the "+" sign.
5 . Choose your area.
Now the map will be readily available instead of consistently refreshing.
Enjoy!
[2 . Turn on Battery Saver!]
This can be very useful, especially when you won't be looking at your screen very often ( e.g when you're taking a jog or at work )
1 . Launch Pokemon Go
2. Tap on the Pokeball located at the bottom of your screen
3 . Tap on Settings and Enable Battery Saver
Now you're done, when you're taking a jog or whatever - simply tilt your phone up-side-down and you're set! Whenever a Pokemon appears, your phone will continue to vibrate.
[3 . Turn your brightness down]
The higher the brightness, the more the game consumes your battery!
If you have good eyesight, turning your brightness down to a minimum shouldn't be a problem.
All credits go to the original founders!

Thanks for the share of this method. Maybe this will help people who have a terrible battery or their battery is getting used fairly quick.

The second and third are kinda obvious but that first method about downloading the map is a really good fucking idea. Thanks OP I'll test this out and thanks for sharing.

There was a map posted earlier on that didn't quite work for me, I will test yours out and see how it works, then.

I vouch for this. Definitely works.
I also carry a battery pack with me at all times + a retractable iphone charger cord.

I will have to try this out. Seems like a full proof method. Thanks for taking the time to make the thread and sharing it!

Just zoomed out so much on the offline map download.
Download about 800mb of the map.
Hopefully this works out. I have a 64gb sd card. Time to put it to work!

Never knew #1, thanks for sharing. It definitely makes sense when you think about it! I did enable the battery saver before but couldn't find out what it did exactly haha.

You can also turn off the AR to save battery life
