other applications, turn them off.
-Adjust the intensity of your display screen’s
backlight to low or medium level and for the
shortest duration.
-Avoid using or placing your phone near
magnetic objects (eg. a radio or television)
or on metal surfaces, which will impact the
network connection and ultimately drain power
from your battery.
