Long phone calls and frequent web browsing uses up a lot of battery power. Also, consider your location: poor signal strength from your mobile network and extreme temperature make the battery work harder.

About the Gallery app
Relive the fun while viewing photos and videos of your latest travels or your pet’s newest tricks. Get an audience by tagging your Facebook and Flickr friends.
To start using Gallery, check first if you have photos or videos copied on your storage card.
What’s more, you can edit and add effects to your photos. You can also easily use a photo as your contact icon, location icon, or wallpaper.
Selecting an album
From the Home screen, tap > Gallery. The Gallery app opens on the Albums screen where your photos and videos are organized by albums for easy viewing.
The following are preset albums:
§ Camera shots lets you view photos and videos
that are stored in the camera’s folder.
§ My favorites lets you group photos and videos
that you set as your favorites.
§ All photos lets you view all photos that are stored
in all the folders on the storage card.
§ All videos lets you view all videos that are stored
in all the folders on the storage card.
§ All downloads lets you view photos and videos
that you downloaded.
Folders in your storage card that contain photos and videos will also be treated as albums and will be listed below the preset albums. The actual folder names will be used as the album names.
If there are photos or videos under the root path of your storage card (that are not contained in folders), they will be grouped under the Other album.
