How to Extend Battery Life on Motorola Droid

The Motorola Droid is a very useful personal smart phone, with many exciting features. However, there might be times you want to extend the charge of your Droid's battery, especially if you're not going to be able to charge it for awhile.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. The first thing to do to extend your battery life is to turn off "Automatic Applications Sync." You can shut this off or make sure it is shut off by going first to "Menu" then to "Settings" and then to "Accounts & Sync."

2. Next, turn off your bluetooth power if it is currently running. This is done by going to "Menu" then to "Settings" to "Wireless & Networks" and then to "Bluetooth."

3. If you are not using your Wi-Fi connection, you can extent your battery life by turning it off. You can do so by going to "Menu" then "Setting" then to "Wireless & Networks" and then to "Wi-Fi."

4. If you have not done so already, add the "Power Control" widget to your Motorola Droid. You can do this by going to "Menu" then "Add" then to "Widgets" and finally "Power Control." Once you've added the widget, open it up and you will see different options including Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, and Display Brightness.

5. Inside the "Power Control" widget, turn down the "Display Brightness" a couple notches to help conserve even more battery power.
