2. Optimizing battery life
Extend your battery's life between
charges by turning off features that
you don't need to run constantly in
the background. You can monitor
how applications and system
resources consume battery power.
Extending your phone's battery life:
•
Turn off radio communications you
are not using. If you are not using
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, turn them off.
•
Reduce screen brightness and set a
shorter screen timeout.
•
Turn off automatic synchronizing
for Gmail™, Calendar, Contacts and
other applications.
•
Some applications you have
downloaded may reduce battery
power.
