One of the good things about owning a Samsung phone is One UI and everything it offers. So the signature customization layer has a good collection of ready-made apps to make the most of it (although some are more useful than others in my opinion). Great customization is another of its extra features, but if there’s one thing I like from Samsung, it’s Routines, a sort of simple scheduling function to automate tasks. Although I recommend you take a look at them and do a little research to find some of the most practical ones, one of them has become indispensable: Voice notifications about battery statusthat is, unplug the mobile phone when it is time to charge it or because it has already been charged.

Go beyond routines (or more specifically ‘Modes and routines‘) It’s on a long list of Galaxy devices and it’s not necessary to have the latest or high-end models; The phone I used for my tests is a case in point: a seasoned mid-range Samsung Galaxy A71. The idea is: Configure automatic actions when something happens.

If you have some programming basics, you’re probably familiar with the classic ‘if… then’: the Korean firm has greatly simplified the process and added the most interesting options. create your own custom routines. The following example interests us: The phone loudly informs us with one sentence whether its battery is low or, on the contrary, the battery is approaching 100% charge.

How to schedule a Battery Health Routine?

As we predicted above, this automation section is ‘Modes and routines‘ is something you will find in the settings of your Samsung mobile phone. Once inside, go to the ‘Routines’ tab which you will find at the bottom of the screen and finally click ‘+‘ in the upper right corner. The process of creating a routine begins.

The screen you will see recreates the programming structure if…then It has already been mentioned, but in Spanish and in blocks it is already ready to simplify the procedure. For the first episode we go to ‘Yes’ and play ‘Add things that will activate this routine‘. We’ll call you when we get in. ‘Battery level‘ and add the percentage. I used 25%, so it is ideal for the mobile battery to be between 20% and 80% at all times. Then we click ‘Done’ to return to the skeleton of the routine.

Let’s go to the ‘After’ block. Once you log in, another screen with different actions will appear again. ‘It concerns us’Notifications‘. Once inside, we select ‘Show custom notification‘ and we write something descriptive in the title (I used ‘low battery’) and the text that the phone will say out loud to us in the box immediately below (“please, charge me”). We then enable the ‘ toggleRead this notice out loud‘ and finally we played in ‘Bitti’.

Be careful because the routine is not ready yet, because it needs to be recorded before it can be taken into action (forgetting this last step is a very common mistake). At that moment we will choose a name, color and icon for this routine.

Once you see this first routine step by step, it is not difficult to understand what the routine is like, so you can Notify us when battery charging is complete. You have a few options here: If you want to limit loading to 80% or 95% or whenever, the blocks will be the same, but of course the titles and wording will change.

Two different options for your Samsung mobile phone to notify you when it is sufficiently charged

But if you prefer it to go to 100% like in my case ‘Upload status‘ and there ‘It’s not charging‘ so when the mobile phone reaches 100% it notifies me. I personally prefer to leave my phone fully charged to make the battery last longer, but I don’t like leaving it connected to power.

These are just a few basic but useful routines Of the many things you can program, I insist, it’s worth examining thoroughly and experimenting with.
