––Restrict background data: Set the device to prevent apps that are running in the background from using a mobile data connection.
––Restrict performance: Set the device to limit various options, such as turning off the Recent apps button and the Back button’s backlight.
––Greyscale mode: Set the device to display colours on the screen as grey tones.
•Ultra power saving mode: Extend standby time and reduce battery consumption by displaying a simpler layout and allowing limited access to an app.
The estimated maximum standby time shows the time remaining before the battery power runs out if the device is not used. Standby time may vary depending on your device settings and operating conditions.
Storage
View memory information for your device and memory card, or format a memory card. On the Settings screen, tap Storage.
Formatting a memory card permanently deletes all data from it.
The actual available capacity of the internal memory is less than the specified capacity because the operating system and default apps occupy part of the memory. The available capacity may change when you upgrade the device.
