•Close and exit applications that you are not using since multitasking affects the battery performance.
•Lower the brightness of the screen display.
•Turn off your phone or use Airplane mode if you are in an area with no network coverage. Otherwise, your phone repeatedly scans for available networks, and this consumes power.
•Use a Sony Ericsson original handsfree device to listen to music. This consumes less battery power than when you listen to music through the phone's loudspeakers.
