Battery life.

Extending your smartphones battery life
Smartphones are lifesavers allowing us to communicate and have access to endless information and entertainment, all conveniently at our fingertips (if you've got an internet connection).
But the more it can do means the more draining it can be on the battery. There are many draining battery elements that you should try to avoid having enabled 24/7:
GPS. We’re sure you don’t need to know where you’re going all day every day, so switch this to off, and simply activate it when you need to.
Bluetooth. Same goes here; only switch this on when you need it.
Social networking. If you’re permanently logged in - then it’s going to auto update and drain. In the interests of staying cyber safe, you should be logging out when you’re done anyway.
Email. Same goes here; it’s going to auto update. Of course, if you need it for work – then it’s probably one of the ones you should leave on.
WiFi/3G. If you don’t really use the internet on your phone, don’t turn off the wifi.
Interactive apps. If you’re playing a game of Sudoku, then the drain isn’t going to be as high as a game of Words with Friends for example, which is constantly reaching out to a server to keep things up-to-date.

Most of these can be done by looking in your phones ‘Settings’. There you’ll find the general settings for your phone, location settings, and all the other individual apps you have on your phone which you can customise one by one. 5 minutes once, will save you charging your battery every single day.

I have found this organisation to be very useful and reliable.
Use them at your pleasure.
