Battery Saving Tips

How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use your phone.
The power management features of your phone helps increase battery life. In times when you
need to extend the battery life more, try out some of these tips.
Check Power Usage
Monitoring your battery usage helps you identify what's using the most power so you can
choose what to do about it. For details, see
Manage Your Connections
●
Turn off wireless connections you're not using. To turn on or off connections such as
mobile data, Wi‑Fi, or Bluetooth, go to Settings and touch their ON/OFF switches.
●
Turn GPS on only when a precise location is needed. To prevent some apps from
using GPS in the background, clear the Device sensors option in Settings > Location
> Mode. Select it only when you need your precise location while using navigation or
location-based apps. For more information on location services, see
●
If the Sleep mode option in Settings > Power is enabled, at low peak times, your phone
will turn off the data connection after the screen has been off for 15 minutes and there's
no network activity (no downloads, streaming, or data usage). The data connection
resumes when you switch the screen back on.
●
Turn on Airplane mode when you don't need any wireless connections and you don't
want to receive calls or messages. For details, see
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.
