    4. Press "OK"

    Minimizing the Use of Third Party Applications:

    NOTE: Even if you may not use certain third party applications that are installed on your phone, some of these apps can still impact your phone's battery performance, as they can run processes and tasks in the background. As such, it's recommended that you disable or uninstall applications that you don't use

    1. Open the apps drawer
    2. Go to "Settings" and scroll to "Device"
    3. Tap "Apps" and access the "Downloaded" tab

    1. From the home screen, tap "Apps"
    2. Swipe to "Settings" and tap "Tethering & Networks"
    3. Tap "Mobile networks" and mark the "Use only 2G networks" check box

    Updating the Android OS:

    NOTE: Manufacturers sometime release new software updates that can positively affect your phone's battery performance. As such, it's recommended that you keep your smartphone up to date. To check for updates on the LG Tribute:

    1. Tap "Apps" while viewing a home screen
    2. Tap "Settings" and swipe to "System"
