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.

Turn off Bluetooth™ and Wi-Fi® when you don't need these features.

Use the STAMINA mode and Low battery mode features to reduce battery consumption. You can select the power saving mode that best suits the way you use your device. You can also customize the settings of each power saving mode.

Set your synchronization applications (used to synchronize your email, calendar, and contacts) to synchronize manually. You can also synchronize automatically, but increase the synchronization intervals.

Check the battery usage menu in your device to see which applications use the most power. Your battery consumes more power when you use video and music streaming
