86 Battery
§ Install the latest software and application updates. Updates sometimes include battery
performance improvements.
§ Uninstall or disable apps that you never use.
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. See
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.
§ If you have many email accounts, consider prolonging the sync time of some accounts.
If you are using the HTC Mail app, select an account, tap
Receive, and then adjust the settings under Sync schedule.
§ 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
to edit and remove unneeded cities.
§ Choose widgets wisely.
Some widgets constantly sync data. Consider removing the ones that are not important from
your Home screen.
§ In Google Play Store, tap
apps if you're fine with updating apps from Google Play Store manually.
Other tips
To squeeze in a little bit more battery power, try these tips:
§ Tone down the ringtone and media volume.
§ Minimize the use of vibration or sound feedback. In Settings, tap Sound Advanced and
choose which ones you don't need and can disable.
§ Check your apps' settings as you may find more options to optimize the battery.
