Extending Your Battery Life
Active applications, light levels, and Bluetooth and GPS usage all act to drain your battery. The following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:
䢇 Reduce your backlight on time. (See “Changing the
Backlight Time Length” on page 54.)
䢇 Turn Bluetooth off when not in use. (See “Turning
Bluetooth On and Off” on page 120.)
䢇 Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use. (See “Turning Wi-Fi
On and Off” on page 144.)
䢇 Turn off Sprint Hotspot. This is one of the largest
drains on your battery. (See “Sprint Hotspot” on page 146.)
䢇 Turn off the GPS when not needed. Most applications
using this function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery. (See “Activating Location Mode” on page 179.)
䢇 Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted
before charging your device. Repeating the process of a complete discharge and recharge can reduce the storage capacity of any battery over time.

䢇 Turn off automatic application sync. (See
“Synchronizing Accounts” on page 58.)
䢇 Use the power control widget to turn off hardware
functions such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and synchronization; or to adjust the LCD brightness setting. (See “Adding and Removing Widgets” on page 33.)
䢇 Check the battery use screen to review what features
or functions have been consuming your battery resources. (See “Viewing Battery Use” on page 55.)
䢇 Check running services and close any unnecessary
applications. (See “Manage Running Services” on page 68.)
䢇 Use the task manager feature to shut down
background applications that are still running. These minimized applications can, over time, cause your device to slow down. (See “Using the Task Manager” on page 68.)
䢇 Animated wallpapers use processing power,
memory, and more battery power. Change your live wallpaper to a static wallpaper gallery or Gallery image. (See “Changing the Display Screen” on page 56.)
