Here is some battery saving tips for your Asus nuvifone A50.

• This navigation phone has a 3.5 inch TFT display which is pretty enough .It has bright display screen but it is the same part that eats up most the battery. To control the battery consumption you should keep the brightness of the screen at the optimum level and choose the dark wallpaper for your phone. Adjust the auto screen turn of timing less than 20 seconds.
• GPS is the most interesting and important feature of this phone but it consumes a lot of power as it keeps searching your position even if not needed. You can keep the network assist OFF while using the navigation because it does not require network support. Turn off the turn by turn voice feature if not needed. Turn off the satellite positioning when you’re not navigating but checking out the map. Turn off the latitude feature in Google maps as it takes some time to update the location and hence consume power.
• Features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPRS, EDGE should be turn off unless needed.  Keep in mind that 3G network consumes almost half of the power of your device.
• There are so many apps which require GPRS connection to update; the power is consumed in the background. Hence it is advised to turn off the entire auto update feature in the apps.
• Use built in task manager because many apps in android run in the background without the user even knowing.
• Don’t install additional task manger because they also consumes battery.
• Update firmware’s time to time, it will help you in power saving.
• Keep the media volume at optimum level.
• Auto rotation of the screen must be turn off.
• Overcharging of the battery should be avoided; it can damage the battery and reduce its life.
