Help Running Services...Which to Stop?

V**A

Lurker
I want to increase my battery life and I have seen info saying to check the Running Services and stop those that aren't necessary, but I don't know which ones are necessary and which ones aren't.

I'm afraid if I stop something that I don't know what it is, I won't know where to go to re-start it.

Help?
 
Well i can kinda point you in a direction, each phone will be a little different depending on what is installed. But here is a link to the different stock apps and stuff on our phones and what they are for, a little dated but should kinda shed some light for you hopefully. If you see something you still are not sure about just ask.

Plus there are some other thing that might help out some. Turn your brightness down as low as you can while be useful enough for you. Darker wall papers, dont use live wallpapers. Screen time out turned down. Use wifi whenever possible. Turn off gps when not in use. Hope this helps. Just remember, big screen=big juice hog.
