    Abstract: The disclosed technology includes techniques for preserving battery life of a mobile device by monitoring a mobile device to determine a state of inactivity. A state of inactivity may be determined if the screen of the mobile device is off and the mobile device remains stationary for a period of time. Battery life may be preserved by placing the mobile device and/or a mobile application of the mobile device into an idle state for successive idle periods separated by maintenance periods. When in an idle state, the mobile device and/or a mobile application of the mobile device may be prevented from utilizing various features or functions of the mobile device that may tend to drain the battery. The mobile device and/or mobile application may be granted temporary access to the various features and functions during the maintenance periods to temporarily allow the mobile device and/or mobile application to perform updates.

    Abstract: A method is implemented at an electronic device for displaying output from an application. The electronic device includes a display module and an application. The application sends to the display module a request to display output on the fixed orientation display. The display module determines whether the application is able to scale the output from the application to fit the fixed orientation display. In accordance with a determination that the application is able to scale the output, the electronic device causes the application to receive information concerning the fixed orientation display from the display module and scale the output for display on the fixed orientation display according to the information. In accordance with a determination that the application is not able to scale the output, the display module scales the output received from the application, thereby enabling the output of the application to be displayed on the fixed orientation display.
