Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS, use the Settings menu to turn them off (Note
that the GPS receiver is only turned on when you’re using an application
that makes use of it).
Turn down screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.
Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and other
applications if you don’t need it.
Use the Battery saver feature (accessed in the Settings menu) to control
data activity, Wi-Fi connection, Bluetooth connection, and power used for
the device such as screen brightness and notification light.

The Basics
To monitor and control what uses the battery
The Battery use screen allows you to see which applications are consuming
the most battery power. Information on this screen allows you to identify

From the Home screen, tap the Apps Key
phone > Battery > Battery use. The top of this screen displays a usage
graph and below it, battery usage times. It lists all of the applications or
services using battery power from the greatest amount of energy used to
the least amount.
Tap an application 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 applications 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 application.
> Settings > About
Battery saver mode
If the battery charge level drops to low levels, the phone automatically
activates Battery saver mode (if set to On) to conserve battery power until
you can recharge it.

the switch at the top right corner of the screen to toggle it off or on.
You can set the phone to activate Battery saver mode immediately,
when the charge drops to 10%, 20%, 30%, or 50%. If you turn off
Battery saver mode, when the battery charge becomes low, a
notification prompts you to turn it on.
You can also modify settings that affect battery life from the Battery
saver screen: Auto-sync, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Vibrate on touch, Brightness,

Connecting to Mobile Networks
When you buy your phone and sign up for service, your phone is configured
to use your provider’s mobile networks for voice calls and for transmitting
data.
Different locations may have different mobile networks available.
Initially, your phone is configured to use the fastest mobile network
available for data. You can also configure your phone to access a different
set of networks entirely, or to behave in specific ways when roaming.
The following icons in the Status Bar indicate which kind of data network
you’re connected to and the network signal strength.
Connected to the 4G network (LTE).
Connected to the EVDO network (EVDO revA).

When connected to slower networks, you may want to postpone using
your phone for data-intensive tasks until you are connected to a faster
network again or find a Wi-Fi network to connect to.
To disable data when roaming
You can prevent your phone from transmitting data over other carriers’
mobile networks when you leave an area that is covered by your carrier’s
