    You can charge your phone; when it's on the charger it gets hot. You can also get a portable charger to take on the go. Make sure it doesn't get too hot, otherwise you could damage your phone. Also, don't leave your phone charging on a bed or other flammable object because it may start a fire.

    Set it to maximum and wake the screen when it turns off, it's a bit tedious though. Also, you can just turn on WiFi with the screen off; it might be slower, but less tedious.
