The Palm TX has shown a good deal of improvements among the handheld circuit. Unfortunately, however, a lengthened battery life is not one of them. Palm states that the Palm TX should last through 5 days of normal usage. The only problem is, their definition of "normal usage" translates to roughly 40 minutes per day and does not consider the more power-consuming uses a handheld entails. This article will help you to increase the battery life of a Palm TX as much as possible.
Instructions
1. Make sure your screen cover is not too tight. One of the TX's most boasted features is its big beautiful screen, but constant pressure on it can drain the battery quickly.
2. Use discretion when using the Palm TX's Bluetooth or Wi-Fi features. These devices are nice to have, but use significantly more battery than normal usage.
3. Keep the sound levels low, given that it is not necessary to listen to your handheld at a high volume. When listening to mp3s, the Palm TX will typically last for 6? hours of straight usage.
4. Stop usage of any processor-accelerator applications, such as Afterburner. These devices are programmed to make your handheld run hotter and faster than designed to, and can potentially damage and reduce the battery life of your TX.
5. Turn off any applications that are keeping your TX on at night. Some applications keep your handheld on when it would normally turn itself off. Turning these applications off will dramatically save battery power.
