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.
n
In Settings, touch 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.
n
If you have many email accounts, consider prolonging the sync time of some accounts. In the
Mail app, select an account, touch > Settings > Sync, Send & Receive, and then adjust the
settings under Sync schedule.
n
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 touch > Edit to
remove unneeded cities.
n
Choose widgets wisely. Some widgets constantly sync data. Consider removing the ones that
are not important from your Home screen.
n
In Play Store, touch > Settings, and then clear Auto-add widgets to avoid automatically
adding Home screen widgets whenever you’ve installed new apps. Also touch Auto-update
apps > Do not auto-update apps if you’re fine with updating apps from Play Store manually.
