Power Control

Active applications, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization, or the LCD Brightness functionality all act to drain your battery.

The Power Control widget is designed to quickly activate (turn on) or deactivate (turn off) those functions or applications that use the most battery power.

The following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:

Reduce your backlight time.

Turn off Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Synchronization when not in use.

Deactivate the GPS when it is not needed. Most applications that use this function periodically query the GPS satellites for the current location. Each query drains your battery.

Turn off Automatic application synchronization.

Close any applications that may be running in the background (such as Music Player).
