Battery tips
Your phone is like a small computer, giving you a lot of
information and apps, at 3G speed, with a touch
display! Depending on what you use, that can take a
lot of power. So, if you want to save battery life
between charges, you could reduce:
•recording or watching videos, listening to music or
taking pictures.
•widgets that stream information to your home
screen, such as news or weather (“Use & change
your home screen” on page8).
•unused online accounts that you registered with
MOTOBLUR (“Edit & delete accounts” on page 12).
•GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth™ use: Touch and hold an
empty spot on your home screen, then touch
Motorola widget > Bluetooth toggle, Wi-Fi toggle
or GPS toggle to view and control.
Delete a widget or
shortcut
Touch and hold a widget or
shortcut until you feel a
vibration, then drag it to the
bin at the bottom of your
screen.
