2. Optimizing battery life
Extend your battery's life between
charges by turning off features that
you don't need to have running
constantly in the background. You can
monitor how applications and system
resources consume battery power.
Extending your phone's battery life:
• Turn off radio communications you
are not using. If you are not using
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or GPS, turn them
off.
• Reduce screen brightness and set a
shorter screen timeout.
• Turn off automatic synchronization
for Google Mailâ„¢, Calendar, Contacts
and other applications.
• Some applications you have
downloaded may reduce battery
power.
To check the battery power level:
• Touch > Apps tab > Settings >
About phone from the SYSTEM >
Status.
The battery status (charging or not
8
charging) and level (percentage
charged) is displayed at the top of the
screen.
To monitor and control how battery
power is being used:
• Touch > Apps tab > Settings
> Power Saver from the DEVICE
> Battery use from the BATTERY
INFORMATION.
Battery usage time is displayed on
the screen. It tells you how long it
has been since you last connected
your phone to a power source or,
if currently connected, how long
the phone was last running on
battery power. The screen shows
the applications or services using
battery power, listed in order from the
greatest to smallest amount used.
3. Using folders

in a folder. Drop one app icon over
another on a Home screen, and the

4. Installing an open source
application and OS

WARNING
To protect your phone and personal

This cannot be reversed. Remember to back
up any important data before performing a
hard reset.

one application running at the same
time. There's no need to quit an
application before opening another.

battery life and prevents you from
unintentionally activating the touch
