Hush eliminates activities that run in the background that are initiated by multiple Android apps when the screen is off.

According to the researchers, computer bugs and problems cause the application not be disabled at the time the user stops use.

“Applications periodically wake up the phone while the screen is off to perform tasks but then let the phone back to sleep because of software bugs, “said Charlie Hu, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue, and a member of the research team.

For example, it is useful for our email do processes with off so we learn that we have a new mail screen, but do not want a game remains active when you are not using .

In this regard, the application is ready to identify processes and applications that are not helpful for users of smartphones.

Hush identify inefficient applications based on user activities and how often they are used applications.

It is known that reducing the discharge of the batteries contribute to an increased battery life of smartphones.

“Our goal is to double the battery life of smartphones” , Hu said.
For the study, researchers used 2,000 units project Galaxy S3 and S4 in up to 61 countries.
