Android app reviews: Spare Parts

Recent versions of the Android OS come with some built-in tools to help you analyse your battery life – useful if you’ve noticed a recent drop in the amount of time you get from a charge.

Spare Parts goes a step further, unlocking some of Android’s hidden settings, giving you even more information than before. As a result you can see which apps are running the most, and what technologies (such as Wi-Fi or GPS) they are using, and consuming power with.

Spare Parts also enables you to tweak a few settings, such as the nature of screen transitions and power management. However while the app can be useful for troubleshooting the practical benefits of any of the changes is difficult to determine.
