Android L Claimed Battery Save Up to 36%

Android L by far the biggest update Google for its mobile operating system. Some of the 'miracles' is much expected from the L, ranging from the design, performance, and new features. But in fact, behind it all, there is a significant performance improvement in our view of the components that is often underestimated: the battery.

Not many know that the Android development L coupled with a project called Volta. The main focus of this project is how to conduct the efficiency of the battery consumption on Android devices.

The core of the Volta Project is an application program interface called JobScheduler API. The programming interface can be used to 'reschedule' various application or a work in progress, when the CPU activity was more active.

Jobsheduler also can prevent the processor to wake up from his sleep for a task or job that can be postponed.

According to Google, although only 1 second porsesor woke up, it was tantamount to consume power in standby time for 2 minutes.

Developers also will have the opportunity untukmengatur various conditions, for example, the device does not perform some specific task when the device is not charged.

This scheduler can also be utilized to not let the device tries to download and update when necessary when resources are not available.
