In case your LG Optimus L3 is experiencing a short battery life, you can disable certain features to help you improve it. This tutorial will show you the most basic and useful steps that you can take in order for your device to have a longer battery life.

Reducing the Backlight Brightness and Backlight Timeout

  1. Go to the Home screen and tap Apps.
  2. Tap Settings -> tap Display -> tap Brightness.

  4. When finished, tap OK.
  5. Now tap Screen timeout -> select the lowest comfortable timeout setting.

  2. Tap Settings -> then tap Home screen -> tap Wallpaper -> tap Wallpaper gallery, Gallery or ID wallpapers (anything but Live wallpapers) -> select the wallpaper that you’d like to use and tap Set wallpaper.

Turning Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth OFF

In order to conserve the battery life as much time as possible, it’s recommended to connect to Wi-Fi whenever possible, as this can help extend battery life up to 50%. This is because Wi-Fi is a faster, lower power connection that even allows you to place calls while browsing the internet.

  2. Tap Settings -> tap Wireless & Networks and tap the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth switches to Off.
  3. Then from the Settings menu, tap and drag the notification bar down -> tap to turn off NFC and GPS.
  4. When done, swipe up the notification bar -> tap More ->tap Mobile networks -> tap Connections Optimizer and make sure Connections Optimizer is checked.
  5. When finished, press the Home key.

Stopping the Apps that Run in the Background

  2. Then press and hold the Home key -> to close an app, tap and drag it to the left or right.
