Forcing the Battery Saver on Windows Phone 8

Here’s another quick tip for Windows Phone 8.

If you know you’re going to be a while before you are anywhere near a charger you may want to preemptively put your Windows Phone 8 handset into battery saver mode. Normally, this kicks in automatically when battery charge drains to 20% which may be too late if you’re out and about for a while to come.

Anywhere, here is how to force battery saver:

  1. From the Start Screen tap Settings,
  2. Scroll down to Battery Saver,
  3. Make sure that Battery Saver is turned on,
  4. Tap Advanced,
  5. Tap the option “Now until next charge”.
  6. Tap the Windows key.

Hopefully that will see you through until you can juice up your handset!
