your device. You can also customise the settings of each power saving mode.

Set your synchronisation applications (used to synchronise your email, calendar and
contacts) to synchronise manually. You can also synchronise automatically, but
increase the synchronisation intervals.

Check the battery usage menu in your device to see which applications use the most
power. Your battery consumes more power when you use video and music streaming
applications, such as YouTube™. Some applications downloaded from Google
Play™ may also consume more power.

Close and exit applications that you are not using.
•
Lower the screen display brightness level.

Turn off your device or activate the
Airplane mode
setting if you are in an area with

networks, and this consumes power.

Use a Sony original handsfree device to listen to music. Handsfree devices demand
less battery power than your device's own loudspeakers.
