To monitor and control what uses the battery

The Battery use screen allows you to see which applications are consuming the most battery power. Information on this screen allows you to identify downloaded applications you may want to turn off when not being used, so you can get the most out of your battery power.

㻌From the Home screen, tap the Apps Key > Settings > About phone > Battery > Battery use. The top of this screen displays a usage graph and below it, battery usage times. It lists all of the applications or services using battery power from the greatest amount of energy used to the least amount.

㻌Tap an application or service in the Battery use screen to see the details about its power consumption, including either how long since last connected to a power source or how long you were last running on battery power. Different applications or services offer different kinds of information, and they may even include options to modify the settings so you can reduce power consumption by that application.

Battery saver mode

If the battery charge level drops to low levels, the phone automatically activates Battery saver mode (if set to On) to conserve battery power until you can recharge it.

㻌From the Home screen, tap the Apps Key > Settings > Battery > Battery saver > Turn Battery saver on. Set the desired option, then tap the switch at the top right corner of the screen to toggle it off or on.

㻌You can set the phone to activate Battery saver mode immediately, when the charge drops to 10%, 20%, 30%, or 50%. If you turn off Battery saver mode, when the battery charge becomes low, a notification prompts you to turn it on.

㻌You can also modify settings that affect battery life from the Battery saver screen: Auto-sync, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Vibrate on touch, Brightness, Screen timeout and Notification light.
