Enable Battery Saving Options – Extend Battery Life
Common battery drains include a bright display, background apps, constant GPS, and push notifications from many apps. Steps: 1) Reduce screen brightness or set it to 'Automatic' – this saves the most power. 2) Go to Settings → Battery → Enable power saving mode. 3) Restrict background data usage for rarely used apps (Settings → Apps → Data Usage). 4) Set location services to 'Only while using the app' instead of always on. 5) Switch push email to manual retrieval and disable unnecessary notifications. These steps can noticeably extend battery life by several hours.
