Re: S3 Mini..battery drain problem
Hi I am new to this forum and first of all I should say I am a Grandma who has her own computer and is able to be quite technical - so I thought.
Not now though since being given this S111 mini as a present on Sunday morning. I have got used to the layout, have looked at mini guides on my computer, etc.
But - I am now asking just how long should this battery last? It is back on charge now and it seems to want it everyday. I accept I will have used a lot of battery just 'travelling' around the phone for the first two days.
1. I have only used the phone for a few messages, phone calls and took two photos.
2. I have not even searched the internet - turned off Wi-Fi although have checked that I have a signal with BT-Fon.
3. Turned screen brightness down.
4, Switched on power saving - I think it was called.
5. Have read somewhere that it is a good idea to disable Google - but then I haven't even signed up for it. I do not know how to disable it.
6. I know how to make sure I have no applications running - however - did I read that Google can continue searching anyway. Can anyone tell me what is the G with two arrows underneath at the top of the phone 'menu' bar? I think I have noticed one of the arrows lit up.
I have read the threads above but some of it goes 'over the top of my head' do you think I should find a young person with one of these phones and ask them to give me some advice or do you think I could get used to it? My 'old' phone was basic with slide up screen, etc and a good camera. Oh! lovely long battery life. (Nothing technical just sent text and used phone.)
At the moment I am so pleased I did not go out and buy one - lovely to get it as a present. So at the moment I would say it is not a phone that I am enjoying using but the challenge is good.
Any tips on what I might be able to 'switch' off that comes installed and uses battery would be helpful.
Thank you.
