Improving battery performance
Indexterm: "device"

The following tips can help you improve battery performance:
•
Charge your device often. This will not affect the lifetime of the battery.
•
Downloading data from the Internet is power consuming. When you're not using the
Internet, you can save power by disabling all mobile data connections from the
expanded status bar. This setting does not prevent your device from transmitting
data over other wireless networks.
•
Turn off Bluetooth™ and Wi-Fi® when you don't need these features. You can turn
them on and off more easily from the expanded status bar.
•
Use the STAMINA mode
features to reduce battery consumption. You can select the power saving mode that
best suits the way you use your device. You can also customise the settings of each
power saving mode.
•
Set your synchronisation applications (used to synchronise your email, calendar and
contacts) to synchronise manually. You can also synchronise automatically, but
increase the synchronisation intervals.
•
Check the battery usage menu in your device to see which applications use the most
power. Your battery consumes more power when you use video and music streaming
applications, such as YouTube™. Some applications downloaded from Google
Play™ may also consume more power.
•
Close and exit applications that you are not using.
•
Lower the screen display brightness level.
•
Turn off your device or activate the Airplane mode
area with no network coverage. Otherwise, your device repeatedly scans for available
networks, and this consumes power.
•
Use a Sony original handsfree device to listen to music. Handsfree devices demand
less battery power than your device's own loudspeakers.
•
Keep your device in standby mode whenever possible. Standby time refers to the
time during which your device is connected to the network and is not being used.
•
Disable any live wallpaper.
