Optimize Battery Life with Power Saver Mode
Turning power saver mode on helps to increase battery life. It reduces the usage of phone
features that drain the battery such as the CPU and display.
1. Slide the Notifications panel open.
2. Touch the Power saver notification to choose which phone features to conserve power
for.
Note: If Data connection is selected, your phone automatically disconnects from the mobile
network after 15 minutes when the screen is off and the data connection is idle (no
download activity, streaming, or data usage). It reconnects and then disconnects
periodically when the data connection is idle to save battery power.
3. Touch the On/Off switch next to Power saver to turn power saver mode on or off.
Battery Saving Tips
How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use your phone.
The power management features of your phone helps increase battery life. In times when you
need to extend the battery life more, try out some of these tips.
Check Power Usage
Monitoring your battery usage helps you identify what’s using the most power so you can
choose what to do about it. For details, see Check Battery Usage.
Manage Your Connections
● Turn off wireless connections you’re not using. To turn on or off connections such as
mobile data, Wi‑Fi, or Bluetooth, go to Settings and touch their On/Off switches.
● Switch to 2G when you don’t need a data connection. More power is used when
you’re in low coverage areas. Temporarily turning off your data connection uses less
battery power.
● Turn GPS on only when a precise location is needed. To prevent some apps from
using GPS in the background, keep the GPS satellites setting off. Turn it on only when
you need your precise location while using navigation or location-based apps. Go to
Settings and touch Location to turn this setting on or off.
Manage Your Display
Lowering the brightness, letting the display sleep when not in use, and keeping it simple helps
save battery power.
● Use automatic brightness (the default), or manually lower the brightness.
● Set the screen timeout to a shorter time.
