Batteries degrade over time, but you can conserve power with some basic
behavior tweaks, says Rich. Lower the screen brightness to at least the halfway
mark on the slider, unless you need it up high. (If you have an iPhone,
go to Settings and choose Display & Brightness. If you have an Android device, you’ll typically
find the Brightness option in Settings. But specific steps vary by model, so refer to the user
manual.) Avoid using a charger from a different manufacturer—it can mess with the phone’s
functionality and cause it to overheat. Other biggies: When you can, use Wi-Fi to access the
Internet, and keep your phone from constantly checking e-mail, says Rich. (If you have an
iPhone, launch Settings, select Mail, then choose Accounts; under Fetch New Data, deselect
Push. If you have an Android device, instructions can vary, but try going to Settings, choosing
Accounts, then selecting your e-mail account and turning off Auto Sync.)
