Optimizing 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.
Tips to extend the life of your battery
Turn off radio communications that you aren't using. If you aren't
using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS, use the Settings menu to turn them
off (Note that the GPS receiver is only turned on when you're using an
application that makes use of it).
Turn down screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.
Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and other
applications if you don't need it.
Use the Power saver feature in the Settings menu or the Quick settings
in the Notifications Panel to control data activity, syncing activity, Wi-Fi
connection, Bluetooth connection, GPS connection, and power used for
the device such as screen brightness.
To check the battery charge level
From the Home screen, tap Apps
The battery level (as a percentage of fully charged) and the battery
status (Charging or Discharging) is displayed under the Battery
Information section at the bottom of the screen.
NOTE Checkmark the Battery percentage checkbox to display the percentage of remaining
battery charge on the Status Bar next to the battery icon.
To monitor and control what uses the battery
The Battery use screen allows you to see which applications are consuming
the most battery power. Information on this screen allows you to identify
downloaded applications you may want to turn off when not being used, so
you can get the most out of your battery power.
From the Home screen, tap Apps
> Battery use. This screen displays battery usage times. It lists all
