Extend Your Battery Life
You can extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features that run in the background.
You can also monitor how applications and system resources consume battery power.
● Reduce the amount of time your backlight is on.
● Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
● Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
● Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this function will periodically query
the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery.
● Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your phone. Repeating this
process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any
battery.
● Turn off Automatic application sync.
● Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.
Note: If you accidently press the Power/Lock Button while the device is in your pocket, the screen will turn
off automatically in order to save battery power.
