What connector does Honor 8 have? Using fast charging on an Honor phone. Which Honor phones support fast charging?

When you buy a phone, you can't help but be glad that its battery does not require recharging for a long time. A year or two passes: the smartphone begins to ask for a connection charger more often. Why is this happening? What can be done in this case?

Why does my phone drain quickly?

Are the battery and battery draining quickly, but charging doesn’t improve the situation much? The reasons may be different:

Resource-intensive system applications who work in background. If the phone also has a battery with a small capacity, the phone will lose charge quickly.
Natural wear and tear of the battery. It will begin to lose capacity after 3 years if treated with care. If you do not follow the rules (for example, bring the discharge to 0%) and if you actively use the device, wear will begin in a year and will already amount to 15 - 30%.
Function activity: Internet (mobile, Wi-Fi), GPS, Bluetooth.
High display brightness.
If your phone screen is constantly bright, its battery will drain faster
Viruses in the system, the active operation of which also requires energy.
Hardware failure: charge controller, battery itself. The solution is to take it to a service center. Before doing this, of course, check the battery for damage and whether it is swollen. In the latter case, only replacement will help.
The charge calibration is broken - the device does not see whether the battery is charged or not. Here just install the app from Google Play Market or Apple Store for calibration and run it.
The temperature of the environment and the battery itself is too high or low.
Low network signal level. The phone has to work hard to catch the network. He ends up spending more energy. At the same time it also heats up.
If the phone does not catch the operator’s network, it will go into enhanced operation mode - energy consumption will increase
Frequently turning the device on and off.
Using non-original charger. The battery does not accept connection to other people's chargers well.
Constantly charging the battery through the network with too much power.

What to do about it: disabling options, resetting parameters, etc.

Before you take your phone in for diagnostics, use a few simple methods to increase your phone's battery life. If they work, battery replacement can be postponed for some time. We will describe the procedures for the Android system.

Turn on airplane mode in areas with low signal strength

If you are in an area where your phone has poor reception, temporarily activate airplane mode so that the device stops picking up the network and “eating” its charge:

In the settings in the first section " Wireless network"There is an item for this mode - move the slider.
Turn on airplane mode in the “Wireless networks” block
Confirm activation.
Agree to activate the mode
Or open the menu quick access(swipe your finger across the screen from top to bottom twice) - tap on “Flight”.
There are many icons on the quick access panel - one of them is needed to enable and disable airplane mode

Activating energy savings

You also need to enable it through the settings:

Open Power Manager or Battery section.
Go to Power Management
Go to the first block.
In the manager menu, go to the section to enable and disable battery saving mode
Tap the switch.
Activate Economy Mode
Return to the nutrition section and open the second item. Select the utilities that will close when you enter sleep mode.
Check the programs that should be disabled in sleep mode
In terms of energy consumption, immediately look at which utilities “eat up” the most charge.
Determine which utilities are consuming the most energy
If it is a third-party application, expand its menu and click on “Stop”. If possible, try to close the software you are not currently using.
Stop the program if you don't need it right now
Also go to Hardware and see which hardware parts of your phone are consuming a lot of power. Most likely it will be a screen.
Find out which equipment is draining your battery power
If you have this feature, enable screen and GPU saving.
Also enable display and processor savings

You can disable background programs and processes in the special “Applications” menu in the settings:

Go to the “Working” tab.
The list of processes and utilities that are currently open on the device is available in the “Running” tab
View a list of programs that are currently using RAM.
Check out the list of programs and find third-party ones you're not currently using
Stop processes that the OS does not depend on - third party applications and some built-in programs. In the latter case, you need to be very careful. First, find out whether it is possible to deactivate this or that standard software, and then disable it. For example, you can turn off the weather service.
You can disable some standard applications systems

Removing ads in applications

Most programs (especially free ones) have advertising - it additionally loads the processor and other modules. As a result, more energy is wasted. To remove ads from all applications, use a blocking utility such as AdBlocker for DataTools. You can download it from the Play Market.

Install all programs only in official mobile operating system stores

In the settings, select the applications in which you want to remove banners.

In the program menu you can independently specify in which applications to disable advertising

Reduce brightness in dialog box
Go to the "Sleep Mode" section. Set the minimum value to 15 or 30 seconds. After this time, the phone will go into battery mode on its own.
Determine how long after the phone goes into sleep mode
In the gallery, select a regular picture.
Set a regular picture as wallpaper
Set it as wallpaper instead of an animated picture.
Click on "Wallpaper" in the dialog box

Turn off data and GPS when not using these features

Let's go back to the settings:

In the block for wireless connection open the “Traffic Control” section.
Go to the "Traffic Control" section
If you have two SIM cards, select the one on which you have activated Mobile Internet. Tap the switch to the right of the function.
Disable the Internet in “Traffic Control”
Or, in the quick access menu, make the icon with two opposite arrows “Mobile” inactive (gray). Internet".
In the quick access menu you can disable data transfer and geolocation
In the same menu, you can immediately deactivate geolocation. Or go to settings and find the “My location” block there. Make the toggle switch on the right inactive.
Turn off your location

Stop the vibration

We'll tell you how to turn off the vibration signal:

Go to "Ringtones and Volume". Turn off vibration when calling.
Turn off vibration for calls
At the end of the page, open "More sounds".
Go to "Other sounds"
Deactivate vibration feedback.
Deactivate vibration feedback using the switch
Open another main section in settings - “Language and input”. Tap on "Google Keyboard".
Open Google Keyboard
Go to advanced settings.
Open advanced settings
Select Vibrate when keys are pressed.
Go to vibration alert in advanced settings
Set it to 0ms and save.
Set the value to 0 for vibration signal

Monitor your phone's temperature and battery charge

Do not allow the phone as a whole and the battery to heat up to 45 o C. You can monitor the temperature in the AIDA64 application, available for download in the Play Store.

Install AIDA64 on your phone to monitor battery temperature

In the Battery section the indicator (Temperature) will be displayed. If it is above 45, cool the phone: at least close all programs, or better yet, turn it off and wait until it cools down.

The Battery section will contain all the information on your battery.

To ensure that the battery retains its current capacity for as long as possible, try to connect the phone to charge when the level is 20%. Charge the battery incompletely - up to 80 - 90%. Don't leave it charging overnight so it doesn't sit for several more hours plugged in with a full charge.

Do not bring discharge to 0% and charging to 100%

Once every three months, however, perform a calibration: completely discharge (to 0%) and then charge to 100%.

Always download updates

If the system and applications have not received the update, they may not work correctly, which affects the charge. Upgrade:

You can quickly update utilities through the Play Store. In its interface, go to “My applications and games”.
Open the section with your applications
Tap the buttons to update individual utilities.
Scroll to list page installed applications
Or click on “Update all” to download the entire upgrade at once.
All programs can be updated at once, rather than individually
To check for updates for the OS, open the last “About phone” block in the settings. Launch the first menu there. The search will begin.
Go to the system update section and start searching for an update
If there is no upgrade, you will see a corresponding notification in the window. If so, the system will download and install it.
If the version is up to date, you will be notified

Destroy viruses

Use the antivirus installed on your phone to scan. And if you don’t have it, immediately install it through the Play Market or App Store, if you have an iPhone. Let's look at running a scan using Dr.Web as an example:

Click on the item to update in the antivirus interface.
Viruses may appear in the report - remove them

Reset settings to factory defaults

If no method solves the problem, try resetting your phone to its original settings. The operating system will return to its factory state:

Go to the recovery block in the settings.
Go to the last menu to reset.
Draw your pattern key

We take the battery to a service center for diagnostics

Even if the reset turns out to be useless, take the phone to a repair service. A specialist will test the device and tell you why the battery began to discharge, and whether it makes sense to do something, for example, flash the phone (reinstall the operating system). You may be advised to purchase new battery, suitable for this device model.

Contact a specialist at the service center so that he can diagnose the battery.

Are there any special apps that help keep the phone charged?

Such utilities exist, and they really work. The principle of operation is simple: applications find and themselves close programs on the gadget that run in the background without any benefit to the device. Battery optimizers require Root rights to work.

Amplify Battery Extender was developed by programmer Ryan Steckler. The software is open source. It is free, but any user can voluntarily pay a fee - for this he will be able to stop every sudden awakening of programs. There are also recommended settings (may be needed for beginners), and available manual setting. The interface has been translated into Russian.

Amplify Battery Extender allows you to use the recommended settings

It really works. Everything works great, but there is one thing. When I try to go into settings, it throws me out of the application. Note3 LP xposed.

Power consumption in standby mode has increased significantly after installing this program. Previously, the main consumer was the screen, and with this program - the standby mode.

It seems to be working. I made a special donation to take advantage of the full functionality. Enabled all harmless delays. When the phone is in sleep mode, the maximum drop is 1%, and not always. But when you use the phone, I don’t feel much difference. Telephone HTC One X+, ARHD firmware.

Greenify: always works - not only when the phone is in sleep mode

Greenify is a utility from the developer Oasis Feng. Its main advantage is that it works even when the user is using the phone, that is, not only in sleep mode of the device. When you unlock the screen, programs that were previously running in the background do not turn on again unless you activate them yourself. The downside is that in this case you will not receive notifications from these utilities.

In Greenify, disabled utilities will not start just like that after unlocking

The program also indicates in which cases this or that software is turned on in the background.

In my opinion, best program for smartphone/tablet to increase battery life. The application puts to sleep and stops any background activity of the programs you specify, which does not at all affect their functionality. The application is effective even on devices without Root access! Greenify will tell you which apps are recommended to be put to sleep when your phone/tablet is in standby mode. Also when installing the application will help you give it everything necessary permissions. As a result, you will immediately notice that the battery charge will last longer than before. I do not recommend adding messengers to sleep, as this will lead to the fact that you will receive new messages only when you take your device out of standby mode. Also, you should not put system services to sleep (everything is logical here). The only drawback: you cannot instantly switch the device to standby mode and immediately turn it on again. As soon as you click on the “Sleep” button, Greenify starts and, if within a second or so. 10 you want to turn your device back on, you will have to press the button twice (which the application notifies you about).

DU Battery Saver: a convenient utility for beginners

The program developer is Du Apps Studio. What are its advantages:

It will take up only 27 MB on the system. The downside is that you need to install affiliate programs if you want to use it for free.

The battery may begin to quickly lose charge due to a large number of enabled functions, programs running in the background, viruses, and also due to improper operation: bringing the charge level to 0, using non-original device etc. If your phone is many years old and the battery is draining quickly, it may be time to replace it due to normal wear and tear.

New smartphone models are equipped with capacious batteries, but this does not significantly increase their operating time on a single charge. Some still remember those times when until the next charge cell phone a week passed.

Now the place of telephone dialers has been taken by pocket computers with powerful processors and numerous additional sensors. Therefore, it is not surprising their power consumption and mandatory daily recharging.

The main reasons for rapid discharge

The main one is obvious - battery capacity. If the phone is equipped with a low-capacity battery, then you should not expect miracles in the form of long-term operation without frequent recharging.

If you have already purchased a device with a battery that does not allow the user to comfortably operate the gadget, it is possible to replace the battery with a more capacious one.

For this purpose, it is better to contact specialists who will competently select and install the element. Today, batteries are available for sale for various models of phones and tablets, the capacity of which exceeds 3000 mAh.

But often even a good battery in a device can run out very quickly. Reasons for this include the following:

Android is not configured correctly;
The gadget's components do not meet the requirements of the installed applications;
Infection with malicious utilities;
Programs running in the background and consuming resources;
Constant activity of sensors that are used irregularly;
Incorrect display resolution and brightness;
Frequent OS reboots;
Synchronization in automatic mode;
Several active SIM cards;
Battery wear.

Cause analysis can be carried out independently by the user. Modern phones, for example, Samsung, Sony Xperia and ZTE, allow you to quickly find out the power consumption of any installed program via Application Manager.

And also in the “Battery” section of the settings menu.

Basic communication modules (operator network, data transmission)

Unlike landlines, mobile phones often change location, and in some areas the operator’s network is unstable.

Also, while driving in a car or other transport, the telephone is constantly in network search mode, which is why the level of remaining charge quickly decreases.

Also, most modern smartphones prioritize connections to 3G and 4G networks, and they do not have stable coverage everywhere.

As a result, the smartphone is often forced to switch to a low-speed data transfer mode. Therefore, it is recommended to enable mobile data transfer only when the device owner is using the Internet.

Activating and disabling this mode is simple, as it is displayed in the Android “Blinds” menu, which can be pulled down by swiping down.

Secondary: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS

Non-essential networks like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, as well as the active satellite navigation sensor, drain the battery quickly.

For example, there are few users who constantly transfer files via Bluetooth 24/7.

It is also advisable to turn on the “GoData” icon only when using navigation applications.

Just one touch on the icon of the desired module is enough and the service will be activated or deactivated. If they are not displayed in the menu, you can manage them by going to “Settings” and then opening the “Wireless Networks” section. To display all the elements, you need to touch the “More” line.

In the same section, you can disable NFC, because it is not difficult to turn it on only when using this technology.

Screen (brightness level)

The minimum screen brightness level allows you to save battery power, because the display is a leader in energy consumption.

Therefore, you need to monitor the display backlight level. This can be done manually if the smartphone does not have automatic adjustment and does not have a light sensor.

Level setting is available in the curtain and in the “Screen” tab in the settings menu. It is recommended to check the “Adaptive adjustment” box.

In the same section, set the minimum period when the device is inactive to send it to sleep. It is also better to deactivate the screen rotation function, since this sensor constantly monitors the position of the gadget in space and also consumes energy.

Lots of programs running

Some installed applications run in the background. If the device has utilities that are no longer used, then they need to be uninstalled. Also, using the CCleaner program, you can monitor the activity of utilities and stop their work.

Particularly voracious utilities include Facebook and its messenger. They have access to phone functions that are used even during the waiting period. It is recommended to abandon such programs and use social networks via browser.

A significant number of simultaneously running applications can lead to frequent system restarts, which quickly drains the battery.

The drastic method of solving the problem is to roll back the OS to the factory state, however, it must be taken into account that not only applications will be deleted, but also user data.

Viruses

One of the signs that a mobile gadget is infected with virus utilities is rapid battery drain.

Device owners install an antivirus program and are calm, but the most effective method is to use only reliable sources, for example, Google Play. It is recommended to disable the installation of programs from “Unknown sources” in the “Security” section of the settings.

Auto-sync

Disabling auto-sync saves more than 20% energy.

Follow these steps:

More than one SIM card

Some modern phones are equipped with slots for two or more SIM cards, and the device constantly automatically switches between SIM cards and updates information.

You need to set the priority for SIM cards in the smartphone settings or simply turn off one SIM when not needed.

Battery is old

Users notice a decrease in battery capacity after a couple of years of using the device.

Aging is an inevitable process, so either replacing the battery with a new one or using an additional battery is required. The degree of battery wear is analyzed by the AnTuTu Benchmark application.

Extending Battery Life

The Google Play Market offers a wide range of applications that can extend battery life by automatically prompting the user to use the optimal charging mode, as well as monitoring running programs.

These apps calibrate the battery, which optimizes its functionality.

To calibrate manually, follow these steps:

Wait until the battery is completely discharged and remove it from the gadget;
Connect the switched off device to the charger and charge the battery (keep on charge for 8 hours);
Disconnect from the charger and remove the battery;
After three minutes, put it back in its normal place;
Turn on your smartphone or tablet;
Ready.

Various energy saving options

IN modern smartphones manufacturers include special options, for example, Samsung from the Galaxy line has a Super AMOLED display. This fact alone saves battery power.

In addition, additional energy saving features are available. To use it you will need to take the following steps:

Additionally, in the “Battery” tab, the user can change the parameters of the “Energy Saving” mode. This option works automatically, so the user will never be left with a gadget turned off due to a completely dead battery.

Where to begin

Sooner or later, all owners of various electronic devices, mainly smartphones or tablets, are faced with the problem of quickly draining the battery of their gadget. Some users immediately contact service centers or stores, believing that the fault lies in some components, such as the battery. Others try to solve the problem by installing different firmware or trying to modify the installed software. Still others immediately begin to scold the manufacturer and change the device with the hope that this will not happen again. In this article, we propose to understand the issue and understand what to do right if your smartphone or tablet is quickly discharged. Let's start with the main thing - before you panic and take any action, you need to ask yourself three questions:

1 How long should my device last? A day, two, maybe a week? What operating time do I expect from it?

2 How often do I use it? Every five minutes or once a day? What if I don’t turn it off at all? Or, on the contrary, I don’t use it?

3 What is the use case for it? Do I play games or listen to music? Or maybe I constantly hang out on social networks? What exactly do I use most often?

The answers to these simple questions will help us understand the situation and understand whether something really happened to our smartphone or tablet or whether it’s something else.

How long should an Android smartphone or tablet last?

First, you need to understand that the operating time of the device depends on a huge number of factors, and not just on the battery capacity (this, by the way, is one of the most common misconceptions).

Factors that affect battery consumption:

1 Usage scenario. The more tasks you assign to the device, and the more complex these tasks are, the faster the battery drains. If you play games with excellent graphics, watch videos, use the Internet or GPS, like to set the screen backlight to maximum brightness - don’t expect your smartphone or tablet to show battery life records; usually, with this mode of use, it runs out in 3-5 hours.

2 Quality and quantity of applications used. Today, the profession of a programmer is more popular than ever. Everyone wants to write their own application, get into the top downloads and earn fame as a famous developer. In pursuit of these achievements, programmers write thousands of programs and add them to Play Store or similar stores. However, not all users understand that the quality of written applications can vary, because... not everyone who wrote these applications are truly experts, or want to benefit other people. A large number of applications have low quality or some hidden possibilities, which obviously will not benefit your device. For example, the application code may have a bunch of errors that force the device to constantly work and prevent it from falling asleep, or have functions for collecting and sending a large amount of statistical data to third-party servers. As a result, the processor will run at higher frequencies, consume battery power and constantly leak traffic with your personal data, which will lead to excessive heating and inefficient charge consumption. The number of installed applications also greatly affects the operating time; below we will explain why and invite you to verify this.

3 Technical condition of the device. All things invariably break down and become obsolete, and the same fate befalls electronic devices. Over time, the battery capacity decreases and some components may fail. As a result, battery life begins to decrease. The built-in software (operating system) can also accumulate errors that lead to unstable operation of the device, its freezes, slowdowns, and rapid discharge.

4 External circumstances. For example, these include weather conditions (at low temperatures, the useful capacity of the battery decreases sharply; on a sunny day, the backlight should work at higher brightness to improve readability) or the quality of third-party services (reception level cellular communications; Wi-Fi signal quality; correct synchronization of data with third-party servers).

5 Technical characteristics of the device. Engineering solutions may not always be successful. For example, if a smartphone has a large device diagonal, but a small battery capacity, then it will run out in a matter of hours. But it is no coincidence that we put this factor in last place. In 99% of cases, all characteristics change proportionally (larger screen or more powerful processor- larger battery capacity), so the average operating time is always approximately the same. In addition, to technical specifications also include the characteristics of the components from which it is made. The fact is that not all of them have the same energy efficiency and performance. How newer device, the more energy-efficient and productive components are used in it. This can be easily seen in the line of flagship smartphones and tablets. Samsung Galaxy. With each new generation, the screen resolution increases, the processor power increases, additional functions appear, but the battery capacity increases only by a small amount of mAh (by the way, we will also explain why this happens a little lower). However, the average operating time does not decrease, but rather increases. In particular, this is due to the use of more energy-efficient components (the size of the components is constantly decreasing, and with them heating and energy consumption).

Let's summarize: answer the question: “My phone runs out of charge in so many hours, is this normal?” very difficult, for this you need to collect a lot of information. To better guide you, we will indicate the operating time in average mode (per day: a couple of hours of music, an hour of Internet surfing, a couple of hours in navigator mode, 40 minutes of calls, instant messengers or mail in moderation), this is approximately one or two days. But remember that everything is individual.

How to increase the operating time of an Android smartphone or tablet

Now let's see how we can eliminate the reasons mentioned above, or at least try to reduce their influence.

1 If you honestly answered the questions above and came to the conclusion that you do not let go of your smartphone or tablet, then we have bad news for you. It is impossible to increase the operating time with this use, since this requires a completely new type of battery, which humanity has not yet invented. But don’t despair, there is always a backup option. In your case, this is a purchase external battery, in which you can carry spare energy and recharge the main battery of the device. These batteries are available in different capacities, and you can easily choose the one that suits your needs.

In addition, I would like to immediately answer frequently asked question, why didn’t Samsung make a standard battery with a larger capacity. The fact is that not everyone plays games, watches videos or surfs the Internet. Most people use their smartphone sparingly, don't load it with a lot of apps, and a standard battery is enough for them; for example, the author of the article uses a Galaxy S5 and it lasts for two days. If a standard battery had a larger capacity, firstly, the size of already rather large devices would be much larger (you can’t put it in your trouser pocket anymore), and secondly, the price would also increase. That is why, with the help additional accessories We suggest increasing the capacity exactly to the one you need.

2 Let's look at what is important to know and understand when installing applications.

Every time you decide to install a new application, pay attention to his permissions. Permissions are a list of actions that an application will be able to perform on your device after downloading it. The more permissions an application has, the more system resources it will use, and the more difficult it will be for the device to go into energy saving mode (the so-called sleep mode), because the application can run in the background and will constantly wake it up, even if the screen of your gadget is turned off and no one uses it. You can read more about permissions in our article.

Necessarily control the number of installed applications, because, as we found out, every application has permissions, and if there are many applications, then the permissions increase significantly. If there unnecessary application- remove it, do not leave it in reserve.

Try to choose applications that are written by famous authors, have been downloaded many times and have a high rating. Of course, this is not a guarantee of stability, but it significantly reduces the risks. It is also useful to know that the functionality and stability of the application may not only improve, but also deteriorate with its updates. It often happens that no new applications were installed on the device, but suddenly it began to quickly discharge. The problem may be a poorly written update for some application.

To diagnose your device, you can use safe mode. It differs from the usual one in that only standard applications work in it, and all downloaded ones are disabled and do not have any effect on the system. If the problem disappears in safe mode, you can safely conclude that downloaded applications are to blame. However, on this moment There is no tool that allows you to find out what exactly this application is, so this is what they usually do: load the gadget in safe mode and check for the problem. If the malfunction disappears, they boot up as usual and begin deleting those applications that were most recently installed or updated until they find the culprit. By the way, you can try this test: boot your device in safe mode, note the time it runs on one charge, and compare it with the operating time in normal mode, we assure you, you will be surprised. Read more about safe mode You can read it in our special article.

The author of the article also encountered comments from users that pre-installed (built-in) applications are also to blame for the discharge. It is possible that there is some truth in this, but numerous experiments indicate that if there is an influence, it is extremely insignificant. Moreover, the operating system is designed in such a way that the operation of many applications depends on each other and their thoughtless removal can only harm the device.

However, it would be dishonest not to tell about all the possibilities, so we share with you the “secrets”: part pre-installed applications can be disabled so that they do not affect the running system, i.e. they seem to fall asleep. You can see how to do this in this article. If necessary, you can turn them back on.

3 Now let’s look at which components can affect the operating time of the device. There are two possible reasons:

Battery - its service life is designed for a certain number of charge-discharge cycles. During use, useful capacity
begins to decrease until the battery no longer holds a charge at all. That is why the battery needs to be replaced every one to three years(depending on the intensity of use). You can purchase original batteries at authorized Samsung service centers, branded stores, and also from partner companies. Required model You can look at the old battery.

In addition, there are several myths that are firmly entrenched among users, so I would like to separately note the following: you can charge the battery in the way that is convenient for you, you do not need to discharge it to zero, keep it on charge for 15 hours, and do not be afraid to use your device, nothing will happen to it.

The motherboard is the most important component of your device. May have completely different damage, as a result of which the device may quickly discharge. Professionals are taught to understand these damages, so if you are convinced that the problem is not in the battery or something else, we strongly recommend that you do not experiment on your own, but contact any of our service centers in our article.

Change mobile operator, if the coverage area does not suit you :)

What other advice can we give? There are few of them, but they are also very important:

Disable auto-sync for added accounts or configure it selectively.

Synchronization is the process of transferring various data from a smartphone to a server and vice versa. This data can be anything: new contacts, music, mail, photos, achievements in games, etc. When you are not using the device, it is in "sleep" mode, in which energy consumption is greatly reduced. Synchronization works in the background, so you may not even notice how it wakes up your device. If this happens very often, the device may discharge much faster, even if you are not using it.

If you tried all the recommendations in this article except contacting the service center, but nothing helped, then you need to reset the settings.

Resetting the settings is returning the device to factory settings, which erases all data, and along with them the errors that accumulate in the device after active use. Factory reset is the best prevention against errors that arise over time V operating system and applications. This is especially noticeable if you use your smartphone or tablet after the reset without immediately loading a bunch of other applications onto it. And especially It is important to reset after updating software (firmware). Not everyone knows, but the process of updating the firmware on your own and in a service center is very different, which is why many people start to lose battery after the update. This does not mean that the update is bad, it means that it was not installed quite correctly. Therefore, we repeat once again: be sure to do a reset after the update, this will greatly reduce the likelihood of various troubles occurring with your gadget.

Many users are familiar with the problem that the Android battery drains quickly. Reasons vary from battery problems to phone memory usage.

Most often, the problem is encountered when there are a large number of applications on the device. Some applications require a lot of energy and memory. Their list can be viewed in the battery settings.

Rapid battery consumption may also be the cause of malware on a smartphone, incorrect downloading of Android OS updates, lack of free space. To fix the problem and prevent it, you need to know the exact cause.

Before diagnosing the cause, answer a number of questions:

How long have you been using the device?
How much free memory is left on it?
Does the use of network communication affect discharge?
Is your phone running slower than usual?
Does the phone get hot during use?

It is considered normal if the battery runs out quickly when using applications or games. Also, the sites you visit, such as advertising banners, can provide additional load. Some sites are also demanding to visit.

Battery wear
