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 synchronisation settings for your email, calendar and contacts.
• 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
• Turn off the location-sharing permission for an application, see
settings on page 50.
• Uninstall applications that you are not using, see
• Use a Sony original handsfree device to listen to music. Handsfree devices
consume less battery than your device's loudspeakers.
• Restart your device every now and then.
