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, touch 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, touch > Settings > Sync, Send & Receive, and
then adjust the settings under Sync schedule.
● When you’re not traveling from one place to another, sync weather updates of only your
current location, rather than in all of your named cities. Open the Weather app, and then
touch > Edit to remove unneeded cities.
● Choose widgets wisely. Some widgets constantly sync data. Consider removing the
ones that are not important from your Home screen.
● In Play Store, touch > Settings, and then clear Auto-add widgets to avoid
automatically adding Home screen widgets whenever you’ve installed new apps. Also
touch Auto-update apps > Do not auto-update apps if you’re fine with updating apps
from Play Store manually.
