Manage your connections
§ Turn off wireless connections you're not using.
To turn on or off connections such as mobile data, Wi-Fi, or
Bluetooth, go to Settings and tap their On/Off switches.
§ Turn GPS on only when a precise location is needed.
To prevent some apps from using GPS in the background, keep the
GPS satellites setting off. Turn it on only when you need your
precise location while using navigation or location-based apps. Go
to Settings and tap Location to turn this setting on or off. For more
information on location services, see Turning location services on or
off on page 261.
§ If the Sleep mode option in Settings > Power is enabled, at low
peak times, your phone will turn off the data connection after the
screen has been off for 15 minutes and there's no network activity
(no downloads, streaming, or data usage). The data connection
resumes when you switch the screen back on.
§ Turn on Airplane mode when you don't need any wireless
connections and you don't want to receive calls or messages.
Manage your display
Lowering the brightness, letting the display sleep when not in use, and
keeping it simple helps save battery power.
§ Use automatic brightness (the default), or manually lower the
brightness.
§ Set the screen timeout to a shorter time.
