Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted
•
before charging your device. Repeating this process of a
complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce
the storage capacity of any battery.
Turn off Automatic application sync.
•
Use the Power Savings Widget to deactivate hardware
•
functions such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS,
Synchronization, or LCD brightness setting.
Check the Battery use screen to review what features or
•
functions have been consuming your battery resources.
Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary
•
applications.
Use the Task Manager feature to end/shutdown
•
background applications that are still running. These
minimized applications can, over time, cause your
device to "slow down".
Turn off any streaming services after use (see Running
•
Services).
Animated wallpapers use processing power, memory,
•
and more power. Change your Live Wallpaper to a non-
animated Wallpaper gallery or Gallery image.
Power Savings
Active applications, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS,
Synchronization, Location consent, or the LCD
Brightness functionality all act to drain your battery.
The Power Savings application was designed to
quickly activate (turn on), or deactivate (turn off)
those functions or applications that use the most
battery power.
