How can I extend the battery life of my phone when running SportsDo?
First make sure you are not running the backlight with SportsDo (which is off by default but configurable in SportsDo options). SportsDo Live is a great feature, but sending data uses power, so you may want to lengthen the interval between updates or turn it off entirely if you are trying to conserve the battery. Here are some general tips you can try: Ensure you have turned off phone features you don’t need, for example push email and WiFi can use a lot of power. Consider using an external GPS as the phone’s built in GPS can use a more power. If you are not running an external GPS, you can turn off Bluetooth. Your phone may have other options to converse power. If you still have battery life problems with long duration activities, you may wish to carry an portable charger, such as a Power Monkey charger to top up your battery on the way.
