Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save unnecessary power consumption of the charger. Extend Your Battery Life You can extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features that run in the background. You can also monitor how applications and system resources consume battery power. ● Reduce your Backlight On time. ● Turn Bluetooth off when not in use. ● Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use. ● Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery. ● Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your phone. Repeating this process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any battery. ● Turn off Automatic application sync. ● Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications. Note: If you accidently press the Power/Lock Button while the device is in your pocket, the screen will turn off automatically in order to save battery power.
