Power Saving Tips
Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and GPS functionality all act to drain your battery. The following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:
● Reduce your backlight time.
● Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
● Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
● Turn 4G data service off when not in use.
● Turn off GPS location services when not needed. Most applications using this function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery.
● 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.
● Check the Battery settings to review features or functions that have been consuming your battery power.
● Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.
● Animated wallpapers use an increased amount of power and memory. Change your Live
Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or Gallery image.
