Tips for extending battery life
How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use HTC Desire 825.
Try out some of these tips to help increase battery life.
Use the power management features
§ Turn Power saver mode and Extreme power saver mode on in Settings.
§ Monitoring your battery usage helps identify what's using the most power so you can choose
what to do about it. For details, see
Manage your connections
§ Turn off wireless connections such as mobile data, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth when not in use.
§ Turn GPS on only when a precise location is needed, such as while using navigation or
location-based apps. See
§ Turn on Airplane mode when you don't need any wireless connections and you don't want to
receive calls or messages.
Manage your display
Lowering the brightness, letting the display sleep when not in use, and keeping it simple helps save
battery power.
§ Use automatic brightness (the default), or manually lower the brightness.
§ Set the screen timeout to a shorter time.
§ 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 Settings and security
, and then find and tap Settings.
