Manage your apps
§ Install the latest software and application updates. Updates
sometimes include battery performance improvements. See
Updating the Droid DNA by HTC software on page 27.
§ Uninstall or disable apps that you never use.
Many apps run processes or sync data in the background even
when you're not using them. If there are apps that you don't need
anymore, uninstall them.
If an app came preloaded and can't be uninstalled, disabling the
app can still prevent it from continuously running or syncing data.
In Settings, tap Apps > All tab, select the app, and then tap Disable.
Limit background data and sync
Background data and sync can use a lot of battery power if you have many
apps syncing data in the background. It’s recommended not to let apps
sync data too often. Determine which apps can be set with longer sync
times, or sync manually.
§ In Settings, tap Accounts & sync and check what types of data are
being synced in your online accounts. When the battery is starting
to run low, temporarily disable syncing some data.
§ If you have many email accounts, consider prolonging the sync time
of some accounts.
In the Mail app, select an account, tap
> Settings > Sync, Send &
Receive, and then adjust the settings under Sync schedule.
