Improving battery performance
The following tips can help you improve battery performance:
•Charge your device often. This will not affect the lifetime of the battery.
•Downloading data from the Internet is power consuming. When you're not using the
Internet, you can save power by disabling all data connections over mobile networks.
This setting does not prevent your device from transmitting data over other wireless
networks.
•Turn off GPS, Bluetooth™ and Wi-Fi® when you don't need these features. You can
turn them on and off more easily by adding the Quick settings widget to your Home
screen. You do not need to turn off 3G.
•Use the Extended Standby Mode setting to minimise battery consumption when the
screen is inactive.
