If an app came preloaded and can ’t be uninstalled, disabling the app can still prevent it from
continuously running or syncing data. For details, see Disable Apps .
Limit Background Data and Sync
Background data and sync can use a lot of battery power if you have many apps syncing data in the
background. It
’s recommended not to let apps sync data too often. Determine which apps can be set with
longer sync times, or sync manually.
● In Settings, tap Accounts & sync and check what types of data are being synced in your online
accounts. When the battery is starting to run low, temporarily disable syncing some data.
● When you’re not traveling from one place to another, sync weather updates of only your current
location, rather than in all of your named cities. Open the Weather app, and then tap to edit and
remove unneeded cities.
● Choose widgets wisely. Some widgets constantly sync data. Consider removing the ones that are
not important from your Home screen.
● In Play Store, tap > Settings, and then clear Add icon to Home screen to avoid
automatically adding Home screen app shortcuts whenever you've installed new apps. Also tap
Auto-update apps > Do not auto-update apps if you're fine with updating apps from Play Store
manually.
More Battery Saving Tips
To squeeze in a little bit more battery power, try these tips.
