Getting the battery to last longer

How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use
HTC Desire X. HTC Desire X power management helps to increase battery life.
In times when you need to extend the battery life more, try out some of these tips:
Check your battery usage
Monitoring your battery usage helps you 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 you're not using.
To turn on or off connections such as mobile network, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth, go to
Settings and tap their On/Off switches.
§ Switch to 2G when you don't need a data connection.
More power is used when you're in low coverage areas. Temporarily turning off
your data connection and switching to GSM network mode uses less battery
power.
To switch to GSM mode, go to Settings and tap Mobile network > Network
mode > GSM only.
§ Turn GPS on only when a precise location is needed.
To prevent some apps from using GPS in the background, keep the GPS
satellites setting off. Turn it on only when you need your precise location while
using navigation or location-based apps. Go to Settings and tap Location to
turn this setting on or off.
