My battery goes down fast and i need to know some ways to save it.
Well there is a couple of things you can do. First you should calibrate your battery meter to your battery, this is called FoxKating...named for our distinguished Super Moderator who knows more about battery, battery life and how to manage battery life than anyone. Here is how you FoxKat your battery:My battery goes down fast and i need to know some ways to save it.
Not true my friend. Two minds are always better than one. If everyone comes up with the same answer then no one is thinking :biggrin:With jpcalhoun here, I'm not needed :-( lol! Excellent suggestions!
There are several way...SmartActions will turn off our 3g/4g data when it senses a recognized WiFi connection. Verizon has a free app that essentially does the same but only controls your WiFi were as SmartActions can control many more responses to differing variables like turning your your screen, data etc off after the phone has been motionless for more than 1 minute.Great stuff. Re "--When in a WiFi area use it instead of your phones 3g/4g data connection. WiFi uses less power than 3g/4g. Don't worry, you'll still receive text messages, phone calls and email.". How do you do this? Thanks!
I don't use SmartActions so I'm not the expert on that (or anything else for that matter), but there are a number of very good threads submitted by SmartActon users that may be helpful if you're interested in learning more about SmartActions...just use the search feature.Great stuff.

You may be right about blue...I was using that as an example of a dark screen...it might have been a bad example if taken literally.I get the black background thing but not sure about blue. I thought blue was the most power hungry color.
I've heard before that letting the screen time out was better than using the power button, I don't, when I'm done with whatever I'm doing it just power off rather than letting the screen time out.
Instead of FRD you might try formating system cache. Especially if keep awake time is high.
