7. Avoid using unnecessary features

If you know if might be awhile before you will be able to charge up your phone’s battery, don’t use features or applications that will surely drain its power.

Connecting to the internet, using the camera (especially if your phone is equipped with a flash), updating your Facebook status, sending multi-media messages or listening to music can drain your battery quickly.

Sometimes you don’t know how many apps are running in the background of your smart phone. Using a free app like TasKiller for the Droid, you can turn off all features on your phone saving the battery life.

8. Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

Bluetooth technology allows you to connect to a wireless headset. Wi-Fi allows you speed up the process of downloading e-mail, applications or music.

Any type of transmission your cell phone does will shorten its battery life.

The Bluetooth feature on your smart phone is constantly on so even if you’re not using your headset it will still drain your battery.

When you’re not using a Wi-Fi hot spot to increase the speed of your phone’s features, turn it off. Just like Bluetooth it, the Wi-Fi technology on your cell phone will continue to look for a Wi-Fi network to connect to.

You will also lessen the chances your private information will be stolen by limiting your use of the wireless Bluetooth or Wi-Fi features.
