battery power.

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. For more details, see Display & Gestures Settings.

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. See Uninstall Third-party Apps.
If an app came preloaded and can't be uninstalled, disabling the app can still prevent it from
continuously running or syncing data. For details, see Disable Apps.
