Conserve Windows Phone battery life by managing background apps

We heard and experienced for ourselves some rather crummy bombardment life with the Nokia Lumia 920 Windows Telephone. It'south a mixed bag of results with some report fantastic battery operation while others are struggling to make it through half a day.

While Nokia is looking into things, they've reminded us that managing the apps that are running in the background could help with battery life.  And this power saving technique isn't sectional to the Lumia Windows Phones.  If you desire to conserve power on your HTC 8X or Samsung Focus two, shut down some of the apps you don't need that are yet running in the background.

To run into what's running in the background, go to your Windows Phone's settings and swipe over to the applications folio. At that place you volition find "background tasks" setting at the top of the list.

Once inside the settings, you'll run across a listing of all the apps running in the background. To shut it down, just tap on the app and tap the "cake" button. To confirm that yous've shut downwards the app, press and hold the back push button to view any open apps.

Nokia has received reports that if Nokia Drive is left running in the background can contribute to high power consumption. They also annotation that Angry Birds: Star Wars may also be consuming higher than normal power. At that place'due south nothing definitive about either, just suspicions that are being researched.

Along with shutting down apps operating in the groundwork, consider disabling the NFC characteristic (touch + share feature in your settings bill of fare). We aren't sure if there's a connection but over the past two days with NFC disabled, our battery life has improved dramatically.

Information technology's nice to see Nokia taking an involvement in the Lumia 920'southward operation and if we here anything definitive on the 920'southward bombardment concerns, nosotros'll pass it on.
