    Abstract: The disclosed technology includes techniques for preserving battery life of a mobile device by monitoring a mobile device to determine a state of inactivity. A state of inactivity may be determined if the screen of the mobile device is off and the mobile device remains stationary for a period of time. Battery life may be preserved by placing the mobile device and/or a mobile application of the mobile device into an idle state for successive idle periods separated by maintenance periods. When in an idle state, the mobile device and/or a mobile application of the mobile device may be prevented from utilizing various features or functions of the mobile device that may tend to drain the battery. The mobile device and/or mobile application may be granted temporary access to the various features and functions during the maintenance periods to temporarily allow the mobile device and/or mobile application to perform updates.
