Power Saving

Tegra NOTE includes several innovative features that help you experience industry

leading performance and terrific battery life. This section gives you more control

over the tradeoffs.

 Tegra PRISM

PRISM is an NVIDIA patented innovation that decreases the power used by the backlight during video

playback without perceptibly degrading the visual experience. This feature can save up to 40% of the power

used by the screen backlight, so it is on by default.

 Processor

• Maximize Performance

amers will appreciate this setting as it delivers the highest performance.

• Balance

This setting delivers great performance but limits frame rates to save power.

• Save Battery

This setting puts priority on battery by further limiting frame rates and processors used.

 nSaver

Some applications constantly check for updates and in doing so, wake up the processor and waste power

unnecessarily. nSaver allows you to set applications to wake less often and to batch up requests to reduce

system traffic. It is like planning your shopping trips to make as few stops as possible. This control works on an

app-by-app basis if you like.

Apps

The Apps screen lists all of the applications downloaded to the tablet and the internal storage

used and available. Swipe to the left to see all the apps that are running. You will also see statistics

about system memory allocation at the bottom of the screen.

Swipe left again to see all apps including system functions.

Tap on any app to get more information about the app or to control the app.

 Force Stop

This can be useful for an application that is stuck or unresponsive. Using this

function may cause the application to misbehave.

 Disable / Uninstall

Disabling a system function may cause other applications to stop working.

The uninstall option is only offered for non-system applications

 Storage

Shows the storage used by the app. There are two other options that allow

you to move the app and its data to an SD card if you have one installed. The

second option allows you to move an SD card resident app back to the tablet’s

internal storage.

 Data

Allows you to clear data the app may have stored. This can be helpful for applications that have become

unresponsive as it sets them back to a state similar to when the app was installed.
