Learn how to improve Battery Life on your Samsung Galaxy S5. Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and GPS functionality all act to drain your battery.

The following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:

• Reduce the time your backlight stays on.
• Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
• Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
• Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery.
• Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your device. Repeating this process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any battery.
• Use the Power Saving feature to deactivate some hardware and interface functions.
• Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions have been consuming your battery resources.
• Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.
• Use the Task Manager feature to end/shutdown background applications that are still running. These minimized applications can, over time, cause your device to slow down.
• Animated wallpapers use processing power, memory, and more power. Change your Live Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or Gallery image.
