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.
In Settings > Apps, swipe to the All tab, tap the app, and then tap
Disable.
Limit background data and sync
Background data and sync can use a lot of battery power if you have many
apps syncing data in the background. It's recommended not to let apps
sync data too often. Determine which apps can be set with longer sync
times, or sync manually.
In Settings, tap Accounts & sync and check what types of data are
