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 being synced in your online
accounts. When the battery is starting to run low, temporarily disable syncing some data.
●
When you're not traveling from one place to another, sync weather updates of only your current
location, rather than in all of your named cities. Open the Weather app, and then tap
remove unneeded cities.

Choose widgets wisely. Some widgets constantly sync data. Consider removing the ones that are
not important from your Home screen.

In Play Store, tap
