Battery life
Your phone is like a small computer that processes tons of
information and apps at lightning fast speed. Depending on
what you use, that can take a lot of power.
When your phone is stationary, not charging or not in use for a
period of time, unnecessary background processes are shut
down to optimize battery life.
To see what’s using up battery power, tap Apps
> Settings > Battery.
To turn on Battery saver, tap Apps > Settings > Battery,
then tap Menu > Battery saver.
Note: To quickly open Settings, swipe down the status bar or
the lock screen with two fingers, and tap .
Tips & tricks
To save even more battery life between charges, you could
reduce:
• Bluetooth use: Tap Apps > Settings, then tap
Bluetooth to turn it off when you don’t need it.
• GPS use: Tap Apps > Settings > Location > Mode
> Battery saving to turn off GPS tracking.
• Display brightness: Tap Apps > Settings > Display
> Brightness level > (slide dimmer setting left). Make sure
Adaptive brightness is also turned on.
• Display timeout delay: Tap Apps > Settings > Display
> Sleep > (shorter setting).
• Activity of seldom used apps: Tap Apps > Settings >
Battery, then tap Menu > Battery optimization > All apps.
Tap the app you want to adjust, then tap Optimize.
• Widgets that stream information to your home screen, like
news or weather.
• Unused online accounts that you registered: Tap Apps
> Settings > Accounts. Tap the account you want to
remove, then tap Menu > Remove account.
• Recording or watching videos, listening to music, or taking
pictures.
Warning: Don't try to remove or replace the battery
yourself—doing so may damage the battery and could cause
burning and injury. If your phone becomes unresponsive, try a
reboot—press and hold the Power button until the screen goes
dark, and your phone restarts.

Use airplane mode to turn off all your wireless
connections—useful when flying. Swipe down the status bar
with two fingers, then tap Airplane mode.
Note: When you select airplane mode, all wireless services are
disabled. You can then turn Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth power back
on, if permitted by your airline. Other wireless voice and data
services (such as calls and text messages) remain off in airplane
mode. Emergency calls to your region’s emergency number
can still be made.

password to unlock the phone.

your service provider to have your device factory reset.

pass or shopping coupon? Pin the screen for easy access.

SIM card lock
Caution: If you enter an incorrect SIM PIN code three times,
your phone locks your SIM card and asks for your PIN unlock
code. Contact your service provider for your PIN unlock code.
You shouldn’t need to use this feature, but to set a SIM card
PIN that you must enter when you turn on your phone, tap
Apps > Settings > Security > Set up SIM card lock
> Lock SIM card.
To set your SIM PIN, enter a 4-digit code. To change your code,
choose Change SIM PIN.
Encrypt your phone
Caution: If you forget your encryption code, you cannot
recover the data stored on your phone or memory card.
Encrypting your files can take an hour or more. Leave your
phone plugged in, and be careful not to interrupt the process.
Encryption protects the accounts, settings, apps, and files on
your phone, so that people cannot access them if your phone is
stolen.
You shouldn’t need to use this feature, but to encrypt your
phone and require a PIN or password whenever you turn on
your phone, tap Apps > Settings > Security > Encrypt
.
