  <p>How can we lower battery consumption in Android?</p>
  
  <p>I've searched a bit, and found :</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Using darker colors</li>
  <li>Using as little cyclic triggers as possible</li>
  <li>Lower network usage (count of connections, timeout of cache, etc..)</li>
  <li>Using less Broadcast receivers</li>
  <li>Distribute application load, when dock is connected</li>
  <li>Using <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">setInexactRepeating</a> for periodic actions</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>anything else you would recommend to verify ?</p>
