If you're new to smart phones, then you might be yelling the same thing as everyone else:
"My phone's battery is draining rapidly!"
- Turn off syncing in your phone. You can find this option under Settings->Personal->Accounts&Sync.
You can turn this off for all accounts on your phone or for each account that you desire. Once this is done you will not receive instant updates on that account, but you can turn it on any time that you want to check your mail or messages.
2. Disable your phone's data traffic whenever you're not using it. You can do this through either of the following two options:
i) Turn off Mobile Data under Settings->Wireless&Networks->Data usage
ii) Uncheck Data Enabled option under Settings->Wireless&Networks->More->MobileNetworks
3. Keep in mind to turn off GPS, Bluetooth and Wifi when you're not using them.
- GPS option can be found under Settings->Personal->Location services
- Bluetooth and Wifi settings can be found under Settings->Wireless&Networks
4. Your screen could drain most of your battery, so reduce the Brightness and keep awake time(Sleep option) of your screen.
You can find these settings under Settings->Device->Display.
5. Avoid using live wallpapers which could eat up your battery.
6. And the last one. If you're a person who could easily forget to turn on and off the above settings, you could install an app such as Power saver. These apps have the option to set a timer and the default settings to be activated on reaching a particular time everyday(such as when you go to bed!)
