Battery life tips

adrian4408 — Sun, 09 Dec 2012 08:47:27 GMT

I bought my Sola just a few weeks ago & have noticed it has the worse battery life I've seen on a phone. Just moved from an iPhone 4 which had a better battery life.

Is it because it's a new battery? Will a weeks usage improve it? I've upgraded to ICS & 6.1.1.B.1.54. Some sugguested a factory restore after the update but that seems a bit excessive as well as being a lot of hassle to get everything set up again.

Heres what I do:

WiFi off when not in use

Screen brightness around 10% but auto adjust function still on

No animated wallpapers

No Facebook notifications

Use Advanced Task killer to close apps not being used

Any other tips?

Should I try the Factory Restore?

Advanced Task Killer is battery killer. Uninstall it! Most apps in memory will not consume any battery power.
