Battery life
Your phone is like a small computer that processes tons of
information and apps at lightning fast speed. Depending on
what you use, that can take a lot of power.
When your phone is stationary, not charging or not in use for a
period of time, unnecessary background processes are shut
down to optimize battery life.
To see what’s using up battery power, tap Apps
> Settings > Battery.
To turn on Battery saver, tap Apps > Settings > Battery,
then tap Menu > Battery saver.
Note: To quickly open Settings, swipe down the status bar or
the lock screen with two fingers, and tap .
Tips & tricks
To save even more battery life between charges, you could
reduce:
• Bluetooth use: Tap Apps > Settings, then tap
Bluetooth to turn it off when you don’t need it.
• GPS use: Tap Apps > Settings > Location > Mode
> Battery saving to turn off GPS tracking.
• Display brightness: Tap Apps > Settings > Display
> Brightness level > (slide dimmer setting left). Make sure
Adaptive brightness is also turned on.
• Display timeout delay: Tap Apps > Settings > Display
> Sleep > (shorter setting).
• Activity of seldom used apps: Tap Apps > Settings >
Battery, then tap Menu > Battery optimization > All apps.
Tap the app you want to adjust, then tap Optimize.
• Widgets that stream information to your home screen, like
news or weather.
• Unused online accounts that you registered: Tap Apps
> Settings > Accounts. Tap the account you want to
remove, then tap Menu > Remove account.
• Recording or watching videos, listening to music, or taking
pictures.
Warning: Don't try to remove or replace the battery
yourself—doing so may damage the battery and could cause
burning and injury. If your phone becomes unresponsive, try a
reboot—press and hold the Power button until the screen goes
dark, and your phone restarts.
