Battery and power management

Your device has an embedded battery. To get the most use from it, keep track of
the power consumed by different apps and features. You can also use Battery Care
to increase the battery's lifetime. Background power saving features are activated
by default to help you further reduce battery consumption, and additional power
saving modes are available to help you reduce battery consumption when
necessary.
Power-saving features lower the priority of certain non-essential device functions.
If you do not want an application to be affected, you can make it exempt in the
Power-saving exceptions menu. Phone calls and SMS are not affected.
System updates may change the power saving features available on your device.

General usage tips to improve battery performance
The following tips can help you improve battery performance:
• Lower the screen brightness level, see
• Turn off Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and location services when you don't need these
features.
• Turn off your device or use Airplane mode if you are in an area with no or low
network coverage. Otherwise, your device repeatedly scans for available networks,
and this consumes power.
• Use a Wi-Fi network instead of roaming when abroad. Roaming is scanning for
your home network and puts additional demands on your battery as your device
must transmit with a higher output power, see
• Change the synchronization settings for your email, calendar, and contacts, see
Synchronizing with online accounts on page 50.
• Check the applications that have a high battery consumption and consider the
battery saving tips provided on your device for these applications.
• Change the notification level for an application, see
