by turning off features that you don't need to

having running constantly in the background.

You can monitor how applications and

system resources consume battery power.

Extending your phone's battery life:

using. If you are not using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth

or GPS, turn them off.

power. The screen shows the applications or

services using battery power, listed in order

from the greatest to smallest amount used.

may cause your phone to malfunction.

In addition, your phone will no longer be

covered by the warranty.

WARNING

data, only download applications from

trusted sources, such as Android

Market™. If there are improperly

installed applications on your phone, it

may not work normally or a serious error

may occur. You must uninstall those

applications and all associated data and

settings from the phone.
