    Go to Settings -> Phone -> Network Mode
    Select only 3G or GSM mode only
    
  • Disable Wifi Connection with Wifi Switcher when you do not use it. Wifi Connection consume a lot of battery. Disable it when you do not use it and it will save you lots of battery!

  • Disable Desktop View that you do not use.
    - Click on anywhere on your desktop and Settings button will appear at the top right corner.
    - Click on the Settings button -> Desktop Menu -> Manage View -> uncheck the view that you do not use

    Hi, apparently that is the case (hearsay, not tested). Anyway I installed a nifty application that allows me to switch between 2g, 3g and dual mode manually via the menu. It’s called “3g/2g/dual mode selection applet”.

    Hi, what are the downsides of turning off dual mode? No connection when out of reach of a 3g network?
