The PRE doesn’t have a big enough battery. I think this issue is true of it’s brother the IPHONE. These great devices have the same problem.
However, there are a few key things you can do to ensure the battery you have last throughout the day.
1. In Location Services, TURN OFF EVERYTHING. If these services are on, your phone is sending information or getting information from GPS satellites and Google. Turn on these services before you use Sprint Navigation or Google Maps.
2. Turn Off WIFI. If you don’t need it, don’t turn it on. It’s another chipset to run.
3. In Screen & Lock, lower the Brightness of the device. Also, Turn off after 1 minute or 30 seconds is recommended. Everytime the screen powers up, it will drain battery charge.
4. Don’t turn on bluetooth unless you need it. Bluetooth will drain more battery life and is know to do this rapidly.
5. Set email to receive at lower frequency. Set it for receiving at 10 minutes or 15 minutes if you can. If you don’t need it right away, don’t request your phone to work to get it without your need.
6. Don’t run many concurrent applications at once. Please cancel the apps when done with them. Perhaps you can have one open in the background that you really need quick access to, but don’t run more than two. The PRE keeps these applications up and running in the background, a unique feature of this phone, but a feature that will drain battery life.
Unfortunately, many “conservation” measures will make life a little more inconvenient, but it will “save energy.”
