Optimizing Battery Life
You can extend your battery’s life between charges by turning off features
that run in the background. You can also monitor how apps and system
resources consume battery power.
Tips to extend the life of your battery
Reduce the screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.
Turn off radio communications (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®, GPS, etc.) that
you're not actively using. (Note that the GPS receiver is only turned on
when you’re using an app that makes use of it.)
Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and other apps
if you don’t need it.
NOTES • Allowing other devices to use your device's hotspot connection will drain your
battery more quickly.
• If you accidentally press the Power/Lock button while the phone is in your pocket,
the proximity sensor prevents the screen from turning on in order to save battery
power.
To check the battery charge level
Tap the Home button > swipe left, if necessary > tap Settings >
Battery.
The battery level (as a percentage of fully charged) and the battery status
(Charging or Discharging) is displayed at the top of the screen.
Enable the Battery percentage on Status Bar switch to display the
percentage of remaining battery charge on the Status Bar next to the
battery icon.
Tap Battery saver to view and/or modify your Battery saver settings.
