Battery and power management
Y
our device has an embedded battery. To get the most use from it, keep track of
the power consumed by dierent apps and features. You can also use Battery Care
to increase the battery’s lifetime. Background power-saving features are activated
by default to help you further reduce battery consumption, and additional power-
saving modes are available to help you reduce battery consumption when
necessary.
Power-saving features lower the priority of certain non-essential device functions.
If you do not want an application to be aected, you can make it exempt in the
Power-saving exceptions menu. Phone calls and SMS are not aected.

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 61.
• Turn o Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and location services when you don’t need these
features.
• Turn o 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 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-Fi on page 50.
• Change the synchronisation settings for your email, calendar and contacts, see
Synchronising with online accounts on page 56.
• Check the applications that have a high battery consumption and consider the
battery saving tips provided on your device for these applications.
• Change the notication level for an application, see Notications on page 33.
• Turn o the Ambient display, see Ambient display settings on page 63.
• Turn o the location-sharing permission for an application, see Application
settings on page 64.
• Uninstall applications that you are not using, see Application screen on page 26.
