Turn GPS off when not needed. Most applications using this
function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your
current location; each query drains your battery. See "Location
Settings" on page 35.
Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before
charging your device. Repeated complete discharging and
recharging can reduce the storage capacity of any battery over
time.
Turn off Automatic application sync. See "Synchronizing
Accounts" on page 35.
Add a Power Control Widget to your Home screen to deactivate
features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and synchronization
and to reduce the screen's brightness setting. See "Adding an
Item" on page 17.
Check running services and close any unnecessary
applications. See "To view and control currently running
services:" on page 44.
