Extending Your Battery Life
Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and GPS
functionality all act to drain your battery. The following is a
list of helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:
Reduce your backlight on time.
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using
this function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your
current location; each query drains your battery.
Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before
charging your device. Repeating this process of a complete
discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage
capacity of any battery.
Turn off Automatic application sync.
Use the Power Savings Widget to deactivate hardware functions
such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization, or LCD brightness
setting.
Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions
have been consuming your battery resources.
Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary
applications.
Use the Task Manager feature to end/shutdown background
applications that are still running. These minimized applications
can, over time, cause your device to “slow down”.
Turn off any streaming services after use (see Running Services).
Animated wallpapers use processing power, memory, and more
power. Change your Live Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper
gallery or Gallery image.

About Gmail
Displays information about the Gmail (Version, copyright
information, Send feedback, Report a problem, Open source
licenses, Privacy Policy).
Email
Use Email to view and manage all your email accounts in one
application.
Email (or Internet Email) enables you to review and create
email using several email services. You can also receive text
message alerts when you receive an important email. Your
device’s Email application lets you access and manage
multiple email accounts simultaneously in one convenient
location.
There are currently three main types of email accounts on
your device: Gmail, Internet-based email (Gmail, Yahoo,
etc..), and Microsoft Exchange (Corporate email or
Outlook®).
To send and receive email messages through an ISP (Internet
Service Provider) account, or if you wish to use your device
to access your corporate email through a VPN (Virtual Private
Network), you will first need to set up an IMAP or POP
account.
IMAP
(Internet Message Access Protocol) - This protocol is
frequently used in large networks and commercial settings.
IMAP4 is the current standard.
POP3
(Post Office Protocol) - This protocol is supported by most
ISPs (Internet service providers) and common among consumer
applications. POP3 is the current standard.
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
- This protocol is frequently
used with a large corporate email server system and provides
access to email, contact, and calendar synchronization.

Apps

Set up email

Exchange ActiveSync

The Server settings screen displays. Enter the required
settings and tap
