Charging with the USB Cable
USB Cable
You can use your computer to charge your phone. To be able to charge with
the USB cable, you need to have the necessary USB drivers installed on
your PC first. Connect one end of the USB cable to the USB/Charger Port on
your phone (as shown above) and connect the other end to a USB port on
your PC. It's best to use the rear USB port when connecting to a desktop
PC. The USB hub should be powered by an external power source.
NOTE
You may experience a slower charging rate when charging from your computer.
Optimizing Battery Life
You can extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features
that run in the background. You can also monitor how apps and system
resources consume battery power.
Tips to extend the life of your battery
Reduce the screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.
Turn off radio communications (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
you're not actively using. (Note that the GPS receiver is only turned on
when you're using an app that makes use of it.)
Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and other apps
if you don't need it.
NOTES
Allowing other devices to use your device's hotspot connection will drain your battery
more quickly.
If you accidently press the Power/Lock Key while the phone is in your pocket, the
proximity sensor prevents the screen from turning on in order to save battery power.
NOTE
Make sure to correctly orient the cable's
plug with the port before plugging it in.
When the phone is facing upward, the USB
logo on the cable will also face upward.
