2. Optimising battery life
Extend your battery's life between charges
by turning off features that you don't need to
having running constantly in the background.
You can monitor how applications and system
resources consume battery power.
Extending your phone's battery life:
• Turn off radio communications you are not
using. If you are not using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or
GPS, turn them off.
• Reduce screen brightness and set a shorter
screen timeout.
• Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail,
Calendar, Contacts and other applications.
• Some applications you have downloaded
may reduce battery power.
To check the battery power level:
> Apps tab > Settings > About
• Touch
phone from the SYSTEM > Battery
The battery status (charging or discharging)
and battery level (percentage charged) is
displayed at the top of the screen.
