General usage tips to improve battery performance

The following tips can help you improve battery performance:

•

Lower the screen brightness level, see

Screen settings

on page 90.

•

Turn off Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi [udoc_no_trans_wifi_wlan_plain] and location services when you

don't need these features.

•

Turn off your device or use Airplane mode if you are in an area with no or low

network coverage. Otherwise, your device repeatedly scans for available

networks, and this consumes power.

•

Use a Wi-Fi [udoc_no_trans_wifi_wlan_plain] network instead of roaming when abroad.

Roaming is scanning for your home network and puts additional demands on

your battery as your device must transmit with a higher output power, see

Wi-

on page 72.

•

Change the synchronisation settings for your email, calendar and contacts, see

Synchronising with online accounts

on page 84.

•

Check the applications that have a high battery consumption and consider the

battery saving tips provided on your device for these applications.

•

Change the notiﬁcation level for an application, see

Notiﬁcations

on page 38.

•

Turn off the location-sharing permission for an application, see

Application

settings

on page 93.

•

Uninstall applications that you are not using, see

Application screen

page 30.

•

Use a Sony original handsfree device to listen to music. Handsfree devices

consume less battery than your device's loudspeakers.

•

Restart your device every now and then.
