Thank you for your inquiry. We understand that you would like to know how to make the battery life last longer on your phone, SGH-T959V.

Battery life durations specified on our products are tested in our labs under multiple different conditions and the talk and standby times are a realistic average maximum dependent on customer usage variables.

-Backlight settings set to always on or a long amount of time.
-Ring tone settings set to higher volume settings.
-Vibrate settings turned on.
-Using Internet Services including Text Messaging.
-Making and/or Receiving calls in, or simply standing by in, analog service area.
-If you tend to be in a "weak" coverage area where your signal strength meter shows only 1 to 2 bars.
-Using non-SAMSUNG charging accessories can cause battery life and other issues, as well as void the manufacturer’s limited warranty.
-Application pattern usage.
