Usage that affects the battery performance

Useful tip about battery performance:

• Close and exit applications that you are not using, since multitasking affects the battery performance.

• Applications which need to download data in order to locate you position, such as Google™ Maps, are battery consuming.
• Lower the update frequency or turn off the auto synchronisation to extend the battery life, like auto synchronising email, calendar, and Facebook™ updates.
• Applications which require access to GPS are battery consuming, such as Wisepilot™ and enabling geotagging with the camera.
• It is recommended to turn off wireless data and Bluetooth™ connections when not being used.
• View what has been using the battery. From the Home screen, find and tap Settings > About phone > Battery use.
• Add the Power Control widget to the Home screen to easily turn on and off Wi-Fi™, Bluetooth™ technology, GPS, background data and display brightness. From the Home screen, press the Menu key and tap Arrange widgets > Add widget > Power Control.
