Telling people to use the search function aside Here's a few pointers that come to mind from what i've done to prolong battery life.

It would be handy if numbers 1, 2 and 3 were automated rather than manual but manual is better than nothing.


1. Turn 3G off manually using the 3G/2G/Duel Mode Selection application. Basically I use GSM mode unless I really need a 3G connection.

2. Disconnect Wifi, 3G, GPRS, Blutooth automatically once no longer being used via the AutoDisconnect application.

2. Disable Wifi manually when not needing to use it, using the WIFI switcher application. My understanding is this stops the device looking for wifi as opposed to being connected (ref 2 for the latter)

3. Turned off (unable) GPS and Network Positioning manually via Settings_Location unless using an application thats dependant on one or other.

4. Turn off automatic email updates from within E-Mail_Settings.

5. Minimised Backlight timeout from within Settings_Display.

6. Minimised Brightness (i use 2 bars) from within Settings_Display.

7. Switched off touch screen vibration from within Settings_Display.

8. Enabled 'power saving mode' from within Settings_Display.

9. From within settings_internet connection settings_(chose the "WLAN/WIFI" connection)_edit_next_next_next_advanced_other. Set the 'WLAN transmission power' to 10mW and switch 'power saving' to 'on maximum' and save.
