Battery Tips
Your phone is like a small computer, giving you access
to a lot of information and apps, with a touch display.
Depending on what you use, that can take a lot of
power.
To conserve battery life between charges:
ⅷ Reduce recording or watching videos, listening to
music, or taking pictures.
ⅷ Disable or remove widgets that stream information to
your home screen, such as news or weather. (See
“Home Screen” on page 14.)
ⅷ Reduce email updates: touch > Email >
Menu / > More > Account settings > Email check
frequency > Every hour or Never to check for email
manually.
ⅷ Turn off Bluetooth power: touch >
Settings > Wireless controls > Bluetooth.
ⅷ Turn off Wi-Fi: touch > Settings >
Wireless controls > Wi-Fi.
ⅷ Disable Google™ app updates: touch >
Settings > Data synchronization > Google >
