Optimizing Battery Performance
You can extend your battery's life between charges by
turning off features that are not in use. You can also
monitor how apps and system resources consume battery
power.
To adjust the settings described here, first touch the
Settings icon on the Home or All Apps screen.
Extending Battery Life
1. If Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS are not in use, disable or
deactivate the function. The GPS setting is located in
Settings > Personal > Location services.
2. Don't leave the Maps or Navigation apps open on the
screen when not in use. They use GPS (and thus more
power) only when they're running.
2. Don't leave the Maps or Navigation apps open on the
screen when not in use.
3. Turn down screen brightness and set a shorter Sleep
timeout: Settings > Device > Display.
4. If you don't need it, turn off automatic syncing for all
apps: Settings > Personal > Accounts & Sync. Note that
this means you need to sync manually to collect
messages, email, and other recent information, and won't
receive notifications when updates occur.
