Battery Saving Tips
How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use your phone. The
power management features of your phone helps increase battery life. In times when you need to
extend the battery life more, try out some of these tips.
Check Power Usage
Monitoring your battery usage helps you identify what’s using the most power so you can choose
what to do about it. For details, see Check Battery Usage.
Manage Your Connections
n Turn off wireless connections you’re not using. To turn on or off connections such as mobile
data, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth, go to Settings and touch their On/Off switches.
n Turn GPS on only when a precise location is needed. To prevent some apps from using GPS
in the background, keep the GPS satellites setting off. Turn it on only when you need your
precise location while using navigation or location-based apps. In Settings, touch Location to
turn this setting on or off.
Manage Your Display
Lowering the brightness, letting the display sleep when not in use, and keeping it simple helps save
battery power.
n Use automatic brightness (the default), or manually lower the brightness.
n Set the screen timeout to a shorter time.
n Don’t use a live wallpaper for your Home screen. Animation effects are nice to show off to other
people but they drain your battery. Changing your wallpaper to a plain, black background can
also help a little. The less color is displayed, the less battery is used.
n Set the Web browser to auto dim the screen while webpages load. Open the Internet app, and
then touch > Settings > Accessibility > Dim screen during page loading.
