Extend Your Cell Phone's Battery Life-6

by Ian Rowan on February 11, 2008 at 04:20 AM



Turn down screen brightness
Much like your laptop, most of the battery power of your phone is sucked up by the LCD screen (or, in many cases, screens). As with the power saving settings on a laptop that dim the screen's brightness, cell phone screens can be dimmed to save power, which makes them a lot easier to see in bright sunlight anyway. Check in your phone's settings area to find screen controls. Your phone may also have a power save function or profile, which you would find in the general settings area.
