also monitor how apps and system resources consume battery power.
To adjust the settings described here, first touch the Settings icon on a Home or All Apps screen.
Extend the life of your battery
G If you aren't using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS, use the Settings app to turn them off. The GPS setting is
located in Settings > Personal > Location services.
G Don't leave the Maps or Navigation apps open on the screen when you're not using them. They use
GPS (and thus more power) only when they're running.
G Turn down screen brightness and set a shorter Sleep timeout: Settings > Device > Display.
G If you don't need it, turn off automatic syncing for all apps: Settings > Personal > Accounts &
sync. Note that this means you need to sync manually to collect messages, email, and other recent
information, and won't receive notifications when updates occur.
G If you know you won't be near a mobile or Wi-Fi network for a while, switch to Airplane mode:
Press and hold the power switch until the Phone options dialog appears. Then touch Airplane
Mode.
