The Basics

To monitor and control what uses the battery
The Battery use screen allows you to see which apps are consuming the
most battery power. Information on this screen allows you to identify
downloaded apps you may want to turn off when not being used, so you
can get the most out of your battery power.
From the Home screen, tap the
Menu Key
>
System settings
>
General
tab >
About phone > Battery > Battery use. The top of this
screen displays a usage graph and below it, battery usage times. It lists
all of the apps or services using battery power from the greatest amount
of energy used to the least amount.
Tap an app or service in the Battery use screen to see the details about
its power consumption, including either how long since last connected
to a power source or how long you were last running on battery power.
Different apps or services offer different kinds of information, and they
may even include options to modify the settings so you can reduce
power consumption by that app.
