2. Optimising battery life

Extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features that you don't need to having running constantly in the background. You can monitor how applications and system resources consume battery power.

Extending your phone's battery life:

•Turn off radio communications you are not using. If you are not using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or GPS, turn them off.

•Reduce screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.

•Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts and other applications.

•Some applications you have downloaded may reduce battery power.

To check the battery power level:

•Touch > Apps tab > Settings > About phone from the SYSTEM > Status

The battery status (charging or not charging) and battery level (percentage charged) is displayed at the top of the screen.
