A Quick way to extend Battery Power?

Have you tried this?

I saw somewhere that it says to dial *3370# and it would add a 50% charge to your battery...is this true? Is there another way to? What are some ways to save your battery?

Thank in advance.

LOL![

No, that code does the following - *3370# Activate Enhanced Full Rate Codec (EFR) - Your phone uses the best sound quality but talk time is reduced my approx. 5% So you would lose battery life with that code.

Hope that helps!

No that is not true. A way to save your battery is to change the mode of your phone to silent that way it saves energy.

I have never tried that code - it sounds too good to be true. One tip is Lithium Ion batteries prefer frequent partial discharges versus being run all the way down and charged fully back up. Also, your battery will drain alot faster when you are in areas of low signal - your phone works harder to try and get a better signal.

I don't think there is an actual way to really increase battery life, you can try experimenting, but it's not worth it. Won't see much of a difference.

I researched and found out that if you keep your phone out of the heat or hot places like your pocket etc...it will conserve the battery.The colder it is (except freezing of course) the longer the battery will last.I tried it and it actually worked for me.
