    Enable Battery Saving Mode:

    1. Tap “Apps” on the home screen
    2. Open “Settings”
    3. Scroll to “Device” and tap “Battery”
    4. Tap “Menu” > “Battery saver”

    Change GPS Settings:

    1. Tap “Apps” on the home screen and go to “Settings”
    2. Scroll to “Personal”
    3. Tap “Location” > “Mode”
    4. Select “Battery saving” to use only Wi-Fi and mobile networks to estimate location

    Disable Connectivity Features When Unused:

    NOTE: By disabling Wi-Fi, Hotspot, Bluetooth, and GPS when unused, you can improve battery life in the long run.

    1. Swipe the notification bar down on the home screen
    2. Tap the “Wi-Fi”, “Bluetooth” and “Location” tiles to disable these features

    Temporarily Switch to 2G Networks:

    NOTE: If your phone runs low on battery and you don’t have quick access to a battery bank or wall socket, you can conserve battery life until the next recharge by switching to a 2G network.

    1. Tap “Apps” on the home screen
    2. Open “Settings”
    3. Tap “More” under “Wireless & networks”
    4. Tap “Cellular networks” > “Preferred network type”
    5. Select “2G”

    Lower Screen Brightness and Timeout Duration:

    1. Open the apps drawer
    2. Launch “Settings”
    3. Scroll to “Device” and tap “Display”
    4. Tap “brightness level” and drag the brightness slider to the left side of the screen
    5. Tap “Sleep” and select a lower timeout value, such as “15 seconds”

    Minimize Third Party App Usage:

    NOTE: Some third party apps can affect battery life even when they are not in use, due to the fact that certain apps perform regular background processes. As such, by disabling or removing unused third party apps, you can improve battery life in the long run.

    1. Tap “Apps” on the home screen
    2. Open “Settings”
    3. Scroll to “Device”
    4. Tap “Apps” and swipe to “Downloaded”
    5. Select the desired app and tap “Uninstall” > “OK”

    Update the OS:

    1. Open the apps drawer
    2. Go to “Settings”
    3. Scroll to and tap “About phone”
    4. Check if new OS updates are available, and if necessary, follow the on-screen prompts to download and install updates.

    NOTE: This process will require a reboot
