Optimizing your phone's battery life
When you're on the go, it's not always easy to charge your phone's
battery as often as you'd like. Follow these tips to extend the time
between charges:
Turn off wireless functions such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, G, data
connection, and Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot when you're not using
them. See the Internet and Bluetooth chapters for details.
Do not use GPS satellites to determine your GPS location. See
the Maps & location chapter for details.
Lower the screen brightness. See "Adjusting the screen
brightness manually" in this chapter for details.
Switch off screen animations. See "Switching animation effects
on or off" in this chapter for details
Cut down on activities such as Internet browsing. Wireless data
consumes a lot of power.
Avoid making very long phone calls or using the camera for
extended periods of time.
Consider carrying a spare battery for times when you can't
charge your battery for an extended period.
Batteries gradually lose storage capacity over time. Consider
replacing your battery after eight months to a year, or if you
notice that the battery life is decreasing.
