Home Screen - Samsung Galaxy Note Start Manual

● Do not wait until your battery is completely
depleted before charging your device. Repeating
this process of a complete discharge and
recharge can over time reduce the storage
capacity of any battery.
● Turn off Automatic application sync.
● Use the Power Control Widget to deactivate
hardware functions such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,
GPS, Synchronization, or LCD brightness setting.
● Check the Battery use screen to review what
features or functions have been consuming your
battery resources.
● Check the Running Services and close any
unnecessary applications.
● Use the Task manager feature to end/shutdown
background applications that are still running.
These minimized applications can, over time,
cause your device to "slow down".
● Animated wallpapers use processing power,
memory, and more power. Change your Live
Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or
Gallery image.
