Extend battery life
Top ways to extend your battery life:
- Connections: Turn off Bluetooth and GPS when you're not using them.
- Wi-Fi: Turn on Wi-Fi when the device is in a location with Wi-Fi coverage.
- Screen: Turn down screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.
- Sync: If you don't need it, turn off automatic syncing for all apps. This means you won't receive notifications when updates occur and you'll need to manually sync to get new emails.
- Tools: The Power control widget lets you quickly adjust connections, screen and sync settings. Use Battery Saver to keep going on a low battery.
If your battery is low and you've turned off everything in the Power control widget, avoid battery-intensive activities including:
- Recording or watching videos
- Listening to music
- Taking pictures
- Using live (animated) wallpaper
