Optimizing 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.
If you want to choose which phone features to conserve power for, tap the
Power saver notification first before you turn power saver mode on.
If Data connection is selected, HTC Desire 300 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.
2. Tap the check box next to the Power saver notification to turn power saver
mode on or off.
Getting the battery to last longer
How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use
HTC Desire 300. HTC Desire 300 power management helps to increase battery life.
In times when you need to extend the battery life more, try out some of these tips:
Check your battery 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 Checking battery usage on page 38.
Manage your connections
§ Turn off wireless connections you're not using.
To turn on or off connections such as mobile data, WiFi, or Bluetooth, go to
Settings and tap their On/Off switches.
§ 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 tap 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.
§ Set the web browser to auto dim the screen while webpages load. Open the
Internet app, and then tap
> Settings > Accessibility > Dim screen during
page loading.
