Battery Saving:
In order to maximize on the battery, The Huawei Ideos u8150 has to undergo some tweaks.
Press the on/off button
When not using your phone, press the on/off button at the top of the phone. This will lock the screen. The phone consumes battery life when the screen is unlocked and so locking it when not in use will buy you some more battery time.
Set the screen timeout to the smallest value
Setting the screen time out to the smallest value will allow your phone to enter sleep mode quicker but this also means that your phone may keep shifting to sleep mode while you are using it.
Set the screen brightness to a lower degree
You can control the brightness of your screen. The brighter the screen, the more battery it requires.
Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
Leaving your bluetooth on to accept data at all time eats up a lot of battery. Similarly, keeping WiFi turned on at all times in hopes that an open hotspot will appear is a sure way to drain your battery life.
Disable background data synchronization
This means that the phone will only check your email, facebook and twitter when you direct it to and not all the time
Disable data service
This means that you will not be able to browse on your phone and your mail will not come through in real time. You can still check your mail manually by connecting just long enough to check your inbox. Don’t worry, you can make and receive calls even when your data service is disabled.
Disable GPS
Disabling GPS will only improve your battery life when you are using apps that use your location like maps, navigation and so on. You will know when location is on when you see the little satellite dish with green lines on your screen.
Use only 2G networks
Using 3G requires more battery life to get the quicker speeds. It can be irritating to go slower, but if you need more battery, you will have to turn off 3G and just use EDGE. Your battery will last longer.
