Battery life
Your phone processes tons of information and apps at 4G
LTE speed. Depending on what you use, that can take a lot
of power.
When your phone is stationary, not charging, or not in use
for a period of time, unnecessary background processes are
shut down to optimize battery life.
To see what’s using up battery power, tap Apps >
Settings >Battery.
To help improve battery life, tap Apps > Settings >
Battery > Menu > Battery saver.
Tip: To quickly open Settings, swipe the status bar or lock
screen down with two fingers and tap .

and turn it o when you don’t need it.
• GPS use: Tap Apps > Settings > Location > Mode
> Battery saving to turn o GPS tracking.
• Display brightness: Tap Apps > Settings > Display

goes dark, and your phone restarts.
