Extending the Battery Life
Active applications, screen brightness levels,
Bluetooth
and Wi-Fi
usage, and GPS functionality can drain your battery. You can
follow the helpful tips below to conserve your battery power:
Reduce the screen backlight time.
Lower the screen brightness.
Turn auto-sync, Wi-Fi, and
Bluetooth
off when not in use.
Disable the GPS function when not in use. Most applications
using this function will periodically query the GPS satellites
for your current location; each query drains your battery.
Use the Power-saver feature in Settings. See
