No need to double post. This is a forum not a Chat. Expecting an answer within 5 minutes is not realistic in a forum.

guys, anyone?



It will use less power by disabling some background tasks. Its not harmful, though some things may not get done in the background such as fetching mail or updating GPS location automatically.

As always, It Depends. And Common Sense is your friend.


Where are you, what are you doing and what do you need to get done with the phone. While you are near reliable power, all the above is moot. If not, then you have to decide how long you need/want the phone to be available and working vs. what you need to do with it.


For an extreme example, if you were out in the boondocks with no power outlet in sight and depended the phone's GPS navigation facilities to save your arse, wouldn't it be daft to start playing a game that will render the battery flat in a few minutes?
