Limit your data connection to slower networks

If your tablet connects to GSM mobile networks, you can extend your battery life by limiting your data connections to slower, 2G networks (GPRS or EDGE). When you are connected to a 2G network, you may want to postpone activities that transmit a lot of data, such as sending, uploading, or downloading pictures or video, until you are connected to a faster mobile or other wireless network.
