How to Conserve Battery Power While Playing Pokemon Go

While everyone else is dishing out advice on how to play and where to find Pokemon this advice will keep your Pokemon Go game in gear longer.

The addiction of Pokemon Go has infested the nation and players of the game have found themselves going to new heights (some literally) to capture little alien creatures. But not only are they pushing themselves to the limit they're also pushing their devices to the limit as well.

So to help feed your playing addiction AT&T has offered some much needed tips on how to conserve your precious battery power while playing your new favorite game. The advice, however, comes with a friendly reminder to make sure you're playing safe...meaning put the game away while your driving. There has already been reports of people having accidents while on road. Stay safe out there Pokenerds!

AT&T encourages you to remember these tips for a longer battery life...

o   Turn Off Vibrations (Vibrations actually use up more power than ringtones...who knew!)

o   Dim Your Screen

o   Shorten Screen Timeout

o   Switch Off When Inactive

o   Charge Your Battery Correctly- yes that means reading the instruction manual!

o   Close Unnecessary Apps

o   Try to minimize use of the Bluetooth or network searches for Wi-Fi or 3G/4G signal strength. Repeated searches for network will drain away your power faster.

o   Minimize Notifications

o   Maintain Cool Temperature –yep leaving your smartphone in direct sun light or anywhere it is hot, is a no-no
