Getting the battery to last longer

How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use
Desire U dual sim. Desire U dual sim power management helps to increase battery life.

In times when you need to extend the battery life more, try out some of these tips:

Check your battery usage

Monitoring your battery usage helps you identify what's using the most power so you
can choose what to do about it. For details, see Checking battery usage on page 158.

Manage your connections

§ Turn off wireless connections you're not using.

To turn on or off connections such as mobile network, Wi‑Fi, or Bluetooth, go to
Settings and tap their On/Off switches.

§ Switch to 2G when you don't need a data connection.

More power is used when you're in low coverage areas. Temporarily turning off
your data connection and switching to GSM network mode uses less battery
power.

To switch to GSM mode, go to Settings and tap Mobile network > Slot 1 network
> Network mode > GSM only.

§ Turn GPS on only when a precise location is needed.

To prevent some apps from using GPS in the background, keep the GPS
satellites setting off. Turn it on only when you need your precise location while
using navigation or location-based apps. Go to Settings and tap Location to
turn this setting on or off.

Manage your display

Lowering the brightness, letting the display sleep when not in use, and keeping it
simple helps save battery power.

§ Use automatic brightness (the default), or manually lower the brightness.

§ Set the screen timeout to a shorter time.

§ Set the web browser to auto dim the screen while webpages load. Open the

Internet app, and then tap > Settings > Accessibility > Dim screen during
page loading.

For more details, see Changing display settings on page 155 and Personalizing on
page 37.

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.

31 Your first week with your new phone

§ In Settings, tap 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, tap > 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 tap > 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, tap > Settings, and then clear Auto-add widgets to avoid
automatically adding Home screen widgets whenever you've installed new apps.
Also clear Auto-update apps if you're fine with updating apps from Play Store
manually.

Other tips

To squeeze in a little bit more battery power, try these tips:

§ Tone down the ringtone and media volume.

§ Minimize the use of vibration or sound feedback. In Settings, tap Sound and

choose which ones you don't need and can disable.

§ Check your apps’ settings as you may find more options to optimize the battery.
