Settings 132

● Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this function will

periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your

battery.

● Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your device.

Repeating this process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the

storage capacity of any battery.

● Turn off Automatic application sync.

● Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions have been consuming

your battery resources.

● Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.

● Animated wallpapers use an increased amount of power and memory. Change your Live

Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or Gallery image.
