Device Settings 216

If an app came preloaded and can’t be uninstalled, disabling the app can still prevent it from

continuously running or syncing data. For details, see Disable Apps.

Limit Background Data and Sync

Background data and sync can use a lot of battery power if you have many apps syncing data in the

background. It’s recommended not to let apps sync data too often. Determine which apps can be set with

longer sync times, or sync manually.

● In Settings, tap Accounts & sync and check what types of data are being synced in your online

accounts. When the battery is starting to run low, temporarily disable syncing some data.

● When you’re not traveling from one place to another, sync weather updates of only your current

location, rather than in all of your named cities. Open the Weather app, and then tap to edit and

remove unneeded cities.

● Choose widgets wisely. Some widgets constantly sync data. Consider removing the ones that are

not important from your Home screen.

● In Play Store, tap > Settings, and then clear Add icon to Home screen to avoid

automatically adding Home screen app shortcuts whenever you've installed new apps. Also tap

Auto-update apps > Do not auto-update apps if you're fine with updating apps from Play Store

manually.

More Battery Saving Tips

To squeeze in a little bit more battery power, try these tips.

● Tone down the ringtone and media volume.

● Minimize the use of vibration or sound feedback. In Settings, tap Sound & notification and

choose which ones you don’t need and can disable.

● Check your apps’ settings as you may find more options to optimize the battery.
