Manage your display

Lowering the brightness, letting the display sleep when not in use, and
keeping it simple helps save battery power.

§

Use automatic brightness (the default), or manually lower the
brightness.

§

Set the screen timeout to a shorter time.

§

Don't use a live wallpaper for your Home screen. Animation effects
are nice to show off to other people but they drain your battery.
Changing your wallpaper to a plain, black background can also help
a little. The less color is displayed, the less battery is used.

For more details, see

Settings and security

on page 259 and

Personalizing

on page 78.

Manage your apps

§

Install the latest software and application updates. Updates
sometimes include battery performance improvements.

§

Uninstall or disable apps that you never use.
Many apps run processes or sync data in the background even
when you're not using them. If there are apps that you don't need
anymore, uninstall them.
If an app came preloaded and can't be uninstalled, disabling the
app can still prevent it from continuously running or syncing data.

Disabling an app
