Extend Your Battery Life
You can extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features that run in the
background. You can also monitor how applications and system resources consume battery
power.
●
Reduce your Backlight On time. (See
Backlight Time Length
.)
●
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use. (See
Turn Bluetooth On and Off
.)
●
Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use. (See
Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Network

Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this function will
periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your
battery. (See
Activate Location Mode

Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your phone.
Repeating this process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the
storage capacity of any battery.
●
Turn off Automatic application sync. (See
Synchronize Accounts
.)
●
Use the Power Control Widget to deactivate hardware functions such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,
GPS, Synchronization, or LCD brightness setting. (See
