How to Mobile
Battery power Saving tips
1.
Turn on the power saving mode. For most devices, all you
have to do is swipe downward from the top of the screen to bring up a menu.
Scroll to the side until you find the power saving option, and select it.
a. The
Power Saving mode may slow your phone down a little.
b. If
you are getting an instant notifications from social media applications, they
will stop until you open the application.
2.
Turn off WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS if you are not using them.
All of these use battery power, even when you
are not using them. For example, the wireless networking transmitter will
continue to search for a wireless connection on a regular basis as long as it
is turned on. This uses battery power, even if you are not browsing the
internet.
a.
To turn these features
off, simply swipe downward from the top of your screen. Scroll sideways along
the menu, and deselect the items.
3.
Turn off
any apps that you are not using.
Closing the app by pressing the back or home buttons is not
enough; the app may continue to run in the background and drain battery power.
You should access your device's recent and background apps and shut them down
manually. This will usually ensure they are not running in the background and
using battery power.
4. Put your phone on standby mode when you are not using it.
Simply
press the power button and the display will darken. This will reduce battery
power. To leave standby mode, simply press the power button again; you may have
to unlock your phone once it "wakes up."
Making
Advanced Changes
1.
Reduce the brightness of your display. Go to your Settings, and
select "Sound & Display." Tap on "Brightness," and move
the slider to the side to reduce the brightness.
ü If you are using the power saving mode, your
screen's brightness may already be reduced.
ü Reducing the brightness will make the screen
harder to see, especially outdoors.
ü If you are using the internet, the setting for
the internet might have a shortcut to adjust the brightness.
2.
Set your screen timeout to the shortest length
possible. This
setting tells the device to turn off the screen after the selected period of
inactivity. The shorter the period, the less power your display will use. The
setting options vary from phone to phone.
·
You can find this
option under your Settings. Go to "Sound & Display," and select
"Screen Timeout."
3. Tell your device to only use
2G networks. If
you do not need access to high speed data, or there is no 3G or 4G network
where you live, you can tell your device to only use 2G mobile networks. You
will still have access to EDGE network data and WiFi if needed.
a. To switch to 2G, go to your device's Settings,
and select "Wireless Controls." Scroll down to "Mobile
Networks," and tap on "Use only 2G Networks."
