How To Conserve and Extend Battery Life


These tips and tricks should help you maximize battery performance.

  • Turn off 3G: If you don´t need a fast data connection or the ability to make video calls.
  • Turn off GPS: If you don´t need navigation or geo-tagging of pictures.(Tools - settings - general - positioning - positioning methods - disable)
  • Turn off Bluetooth/IrDA (Tools - settings - connection - bluetooth - off)
  • Turning off WLAN scanning: If you´re not currently looking for a network.
  • Lower the screen brightness and timeout.
  • Keep phone´s FW up to date: FW updates could include better battery management.
  • Close unused applications: Try to have as few applications as possible running. The more applications you run at once, the quicker the battery will be drained, so it's a good idea to shut down any applications you don't need.
  • Do NOT switch the phone off! (unless you're in an area with no signal for a long period of time.) Booting up the phone takes more power than keeping it in standby.
  • Use headphones instead of speakers
  • Avoid using the camera flash unnecessarily
  • Try to get a good signal. The better the signal on your phone, the easier it is for the phone to connect to a base station and the less power a phone uses during calls. By making sure you have a good signal during calls, texts or internet use, you can make the phone's battery last longer.
  • Use Offline Mode (aka Flight Mode) If you're just listening to music or watching a video, and you don't need to take any calls on it, you might want to put the phone into Offline mode.
