Quite often, users of mobile devices are faced with one not very pleasant problem - the phone is discharged on charging. The reasons for this can be completely different, as well as the ways to eliminate them. In this article we will try to consider all possible options why the phone runs out of power when charging, and how you can deal with it.
Defective charging socket
The most common reason a phone runs out of power while charging is a faulty charger socket. A similar situation develops quite often, especially with unstable voltage or factory marriage. "Symptoms" are standard:
- The phone displays an indicator that charging is in progress or there are no indications at all.
- After some time, the phone does not pick up a charge, but, on the contrary, spends the rest.
And although some of the described "symptoms" will occur more than once in the course of the article, in this case everything points exactly to a faulty charging socket. To finally make sure that the socket is broken, you need to try to connect the phone to a different outlet, change the charger in order to exclude its malfunction. If nothing has changed, you can proceed to repair.
Elimination
In order to fix a faulty charging socket, you can go to service center, but only if the phone is under warranty. There it should be accepted without any problems and repaired within a few days, although it all depends on the service center itself.
If your phone is already out of warranty, please contact any reputable repair shop mobile phones... Repair times are usually much shorter than in a service center, and the quality of work is about the same.
Another option is to change everything yourself. Fits this way only for those who are well versed in soldering and have the necessary equipment.
The charging socket is oxidized
The next reason why the phone runs out of power while charging is the oxidized charger connector. The reason is, first of all, the ingress of moisture into the charger socket, for example, through wet hands or rain, perhaps water spilled next to the phone and got on the contacts. Another reason for oxidation can be the banal and bad habit of taking your smartphone with you to the bathroom. This is not recommended, because the bathroom is a room with high humidity... The only exceptions are those phones that are protected from moisture.
Signs that the charger socket on the phone has oxidized are as follows:
- The charger is connected.
- An indicator appears on the screen that charging is in progress.
- After some time, the battery charge did not increase, but, on the contrary, decreased.
- The phone is noticeably hot in the area of the charging socket.
- The charger plug is hot.
- Upon visual inspection, there is an extraneous characteristic plaque on the contacts and on the socket itself.
By the way, not only the connector on the phone itself can be oxidized, but also the charger plug, so this also needs to be taken into account.
Elimination
There are several ways to eliminate oxide from, but they can be divided into two groups - temporary help and 100% solution.
Temporary
The temporary method involves cleaning the contacts from oxide on your own. It is called temporary because the oxide will reappear sooner or later, and the procedure will have to be repeated. Besides, this method does not guarantee 100% success.
For cleaning, you will need a very fine needle or any other sharp object, a small piece of cloth, and baking soda. At the tip of the needle, you need to fix the fabric so that it does not slip and crawl into the connector. After that, you need to slightly wet a cloth, dip it in soda powder, place it in the charging socket and clean everything to the maximum.
Replacement
Since the efficiency of the first method is not very high, and the problem itself is not eliminated 100%, the only sure way is to replace the socket. This can be done through the workshop or on your own.
Faulty charger
Another reason why the phone is charging and discharging is a banal malfunction of the charger itself. The fact is that it is enough for only one wiring somewhere inside the cable to break - and that's it, a full charge will not come. There is no point in describing the symptoms here, just check the charging operation on another phone or connect your phone to a working charger.
Elimination
This problem is easily and quickly eliminated, just buy a new USB cable or completely change the charger.
Burnt board
A burnt board with a socket is the reason why the phone is discharged while charging. In this case, the socket itself may be working properly, but the board on which it is installed sometimes burns out or fails. With such a breakdown, the charging indicator does not appear, however, if the corresponding icon still appears, then the phone will simply be discharged.
Elimination
This breakdown can be eliminated only by completely replacing the circuit with the charging socket. You can do this in any service or on your own.
Fast discharge
Quite often there is such a problem that after charging the phone is discharged, and quite quickly, within an hour or a little more. The main and only reason for this is a faulty battery, which has exhausted its entire resource.
Elimination
This breakdown is eliminated quickly, you do not need to give the phone for service - you just need a new battery for the phone of the corresponding model.
Every day we start the car and do not even think about how it happens. In order for the engine to start its work, a whole complex of systems and mechanisms is used. One of the most important in this chain is the battery. Without it, it is impossible to start the motor. Over the years, the battery loses its capacity. The car starts to start worse. Also, owners often have a problem with a lack of charge. Why is the battery not holding a charge? We will find out in our today's article.
When should you sound the alarm?
At what voltage can you say that the battery does not hold a charge? The minimum value for starting the motor is 12.5 volts.
In this case, the motor will resume operation at the first turn of the key. If this figure is less than 0.5 volts, the motor will also start, but with great difficulty. A voltage of 11 volts or less is considered critical. In this case, there is a risk that the engine will not start at all. How long does the battery hold? Ideally, it should maintain a stable value without recharging for up to three years (but subject to regular operation of the car, since it charges the battery with the generator). If, after arriving home in the evening, the battery runs out in the morning, it means that the battery is faulty. In case of downtime, it should last for at least one month.
Banal reasons
You need to start looking for a problem small. Visually inspect the contacts that go to the battery. The terminals must be free of oxidation. If they are present, it is possible that the engine is difficult to start, both hot and cold. The reason is simple - the terminals do not fit tightly to the battery terminals. Accordingly, less starting current flows to the starter.
And after starting, the battery cannot fully charge from the generator due to the same oxidations. As a result, the battery does not hold a good charge, and the car is difficult to start. Another commonplace reason is damaged fuses on the generator. They are made of metal and are located in a separate block. If these plates are burned out, the battery will not be charged. As a result, all electrical appliances will take energy from the battery, but it will not be replenished. The solution to the problem is to replace the fuse.
Banks
This is already a more serious reason. Banks are the same six holes that are in the battery. Each jar contains lead plates. The latter are placed in an acidic electrolyte. In the process of contact between the plates and the electrolyte, electricity accumulates, which is later used to start and operate the car. The voltage in each cell is approximately 2 volts. And if one of the cans doesn't work, the battery will only charge up to 10 volts.
These elements become unusable for two reasons. It:
- Evaporation of electrolyte. How to determine this? When unscrewing the cap, you will notice a low fluid level. In a certain bank, it will be less than in others. But it also happens that liquid evaporates in several compartments at once.
- Scattering of the plate. In such a situation, the electrolyte level may be normal. But the liquid itself is not transparent, but black (almost black).
And if in the first case, you can still try to solve the problem by adding distilled water, then when the plates are deformed, the only way out is to buy a new battery. Note that the battery capacity will not drop after adding distilled water. It is she who evaporates in the cans, not the acid. The latter is much heavier and remains on the plates.
Closing the plates
Improper use can cause this phenomenon. This happens if the battery often runs out of zero. There may also be freezing of the electrolyte. But this happens if the car often stands in frost of more than 30 degrees. In order to exclude freezing of the plates, it is recommended to keep the battery warm in severe frosts, that is, to bring it with you into the house.
The battery does not hold a charge: restoring the plates
Some people try to recover such a battery by long-term low-amperage charging. But that won't do anything. This battery is recovered as follows. First, the cans are washed with distilled water. The compartment is filled with it to the maximum. Then they mix (in this case, you can and even need to turn the battery upside down) and drain. If necessary, repeat the procedure again until the holes go pure water, without dirt and dark shade. In some cases, it is possible in this way to clean the plates from oxidized particles and return the life of the old battery. But if there is too much dirt, such plates may no longer take charge even after 10 wash cycles.
Desulfation
If the battery does not hold a charge, salt may have accumulated on the plates. They need to be removed. To do this, we purchase a special desulfatizing electrolyte additive in the store.
Also, the removal of salts can be done using a special charger. The desulfation procedure is carried out in several steps:
- First, the purchased additive is dissolved in a fresh electrolyte (its density should be at least 1.28 grams per cubic centimeter). It takes a lot of time - 48 hours.
- Next, electrolyte is poured into the cans. Check its density. This is done using a hydrometer. This parameter should be at least 1.28 grams.
- After that, unscrew plastic plugs in banks and to the battery, a charger is connected. In order for the battery to hold its charge for a long time again, it is necessary to perform several charge-discharge cycles. On the memory, you need to set the minimum current. It should be no more than one tenth of the maximum. When the voltage on the battery reaches 13.8 volts, the charge current should be halved further. Next, we measure the density with a hydrometer. We leave the battery for two hours. Then we take measurements again. If the density has not dropped, then we were able to restore the dead battery.
But that is not all. We need to make an electrolyte adjustment. To do this, we bring it to a density of 1.28, and then add distilled water. Then the battery is discharged. A powerful lamp or resistor is connected to it and the current is limited to one ampere. You need to wait until the voltage drops to 10.2 volts. From the moment the load is connected, you need to turn on the timer. it important parameter during the restoration of the battery.
The discharge time must be multiplied by the discharge current. This gives us the capacity of the battery. If it is below nominal, you will have to repeat the charge-discharge cycle. And so on until the capacity matches the factory one.
Phones and tablets running on the Android operating system have long earned themselves the fame of "all-consuming" energy devices. Many people are probably familiar with the situation when the gadget starts to turn off by itself, when the battery charge has not yet been completely used up, for example, there is still 50 or 70% of the charge left.
The first thought in such a situation is to buy a new battery. But my advice to you - do not rush, just your OS did not remember the power consumption mode correctly and starts to manage the battery not quite correctly, you just need to calibrate the battery and if it does not help, then you can safely go to the store for a new battery.
How do I calibrate my Android battery?
There are several ways to set up energy saving. Some require root access, others don't. We will describe each method so that you can choose an acceptable one.
How do I know if my tablet has a battery problem?
Before you start to deal with a problem, you need to identify it and admit that it exists. After all, maybe the tablet works fine for you and the battery holds a charge well, and you are already trying to calibrate it.
1. We described the first sign above - if the device on Android for no reason or no reason starts to turn off before the battery is completely discharged. These are the cases when the battery charge is still displayed on the screen and maybe even 95%, but the tablet or smartphone, nevertheless, turns off.
2. The second symptom is a rapid decrease in the battery life of the device. For example, if after buying your tablet it was kept for 5 days, and after a month it became 4 days, after another month of use - 3 days. it sure sign not correct setting battery that requires calibration.
What does calibration mean?
If you look in the dictionary, it means - setting or bringing to the optimal state of the device / device. It is often used in electricians when it is necessary to adjust any device to certain standards.
In our case, this is the adjustment (calibration) of the battery in order to improve the power consumption so that it is in optimal shape and, therefore, keeps the battery charge as long as possible.
Calibrating Android Battery Without Rooting
Method 1
First, you need to know the capacity of the test battery in milliampere-hours (mAh). You can find information on the Internet, in some review of your tablet model, or just look under the battery, most often the characteristics are written on it.
Ampere is a unit for measuring current strength, in mAh the capacity of a battery is measured. It means how many milliamperes the battery can give for one hour of time. If consumption increases, then the capacity indicator also drops.
The next step is to install the CurrentWidget: Battery Monitor program from the Play Market. This app will display the battery charge in milliamperes (mA). Now, by tracking the charge level, you need to charge the battery to the capacity standard provided by the manufacturer.
When required amount milliamperes is reached, turn off the tablet and start. By rebooting the device, you will let it know what the real battery level is.
If it does not help, then try another modification of this method of battery calibration - do 5 full charge / discharge cycles of the phone so that when fully charged, the battery capacity reaches the required maximum in mAh. After the last fifth full charge, we take out the charger, wait 10-20 seconds and do a hard reset of the tablet.
After these manipulations, the device must remember the required charge level and take it as 100%.
Hard Reset - full reset of all settings, rollback to factory settings. To do this, dial * # * # 7780 # * # * and press the call button. This USSD request does not work on all Android devices!
Method 2
The second method acts as a kind of the first, the only difference is that you do not need to install special programs, only work with charging.
- To calibrate the battery, charge the battery to a full state so that the screen shows 100%, then unplug the charger and turn off the tablet (phone). Then connect the charging cable to the disconnected device and continue charging the battery until led indicator(LED) will not light up green indicating that the battery is fully charged.
- Turn the device back on and turn off the option to automatically turn off the screen (usually on Android: display settings -> sleep mode). Now that your tablet has stopped going into sleep mode, we start charging the battery again to 100%.
- It is necessary to turn off the sleep mode so that the device will run down faster. Therefore, after fully charging, we leave the tablet with the display on and wait for a complete discharge.
- We recharge our device and that's it, now Android should properly use the battery and observe a full discharge cycle. Do not forget to turn on "Hibernation" back!
Calibrating Root Android Tablet Battery
There are several ways to calibrate with root access. If one of them did not work, then there is a high probability that the second will give results.
Method 1 - Battery Calibration
Install Battery Calibration software from Play Market. Then connect the charger and charge the battery to 100%. Then open the Battery Calibration application and look at the battery level value in the program, as most likely it will be different from what is shown on the display.
Continue charging the tablet until it is 100% Battery Calibration. When the charge level reaches the maximum, press the "battery calibration" button, and then reboot. That's it, we've calibrated our Android tablet.
As in the case of battery calibration without root, we are trying to tell Android "points of reference" so that he can see when the battery is fully charged and when it is discharged.
Method 2 - Recovery mode
1. Go to Recovery mode on Android and go to the Advanced section, where you will find the "wipe battery stats" option. This will delete any previously made calibrations by you or by the system itself.
Recovery mode is Android's recovery mode. On different types of devices, the boot method in Recovery mode is different, but often the actions are something like this: on the turned off device, the volume up button is pressed, then the Home button is pressed, after which you must press the power button. All three buttons must be pressed at the same time, not in turn!
Video example of loading in Recovery mode:
2. After resetting all previous Android calibrations, discharge the battery completely before turning off the device. After that, put the disconnected device on charge, and without turning it on, charge it to full.
3. Turn on your tablet / smartphone without disconnecting the power cable and calibrate in the Battery Calibration app. With this step, we will further strengthen the settings and make Android understand what we need.
- If the batteries are already 5-10 years old, then here you need to think not about calibration, but about buying a new one. And don't be surprised if the above methods won't work on your devices;
- On new devices, always do several full discharge cycles - charge the battery, calibration can also be done;
- If all else fails, check your charging cable, it may be a problem;
- Do not constantly charge from USB. Use this method only in extreme cases, when there is no normal outlet;
- It is not recommended to use non-original chargers - they can quickly drain your battery and it will no longer be able to deliver the number of milliamperes hours for which it is designed;
- If the device has been dropped, flown, or floated, these methods may not help. In this case, contact the service centers, let them clean, repair. Because miracles happen only in fairy tales!
- If you constantly fly on an airplane or go to the mountains, then do not be surprised at the speed of battery discharge, this is not about Android and calibration, but physics.
Almost all users of mobile gadgets face the problem of discharging the battery too quickly. The problem arises gradually and goes unnoticed for some time, but one day the owner notices that the battery life of the smartphone or tablet has been reduced by almost half. If you do nothing, it will decrease further - until it becomes impossible to use the device. And one day the device will not turn on at all.
Let's talk about why the battery on Android devices is quickly discharged and how to prolong its life.
Reasons for fast battery discharge
- The actual battery capacity of your smartphone or tablet is lower than the specifications.
- Battery capacity has decreased due to normal wear and tear.
- The ambient temperature is below +5 ⁰C or above +30 ⁰C.
- Included too high level screen brightness.
- Resource-intensive features included: GPS, NFC, Bluetooth, etc.
- Long distance to the base station of the mobile operator.
- Applications and widgets that run in the background consume energy.
- Frequent switching on and off of the device.
- Infection with mobile viruses.
- Malfunction of the operating system or hardware, as a result of which certain resource-intensive functions or the device itself are not turned off.
Battery capacity is lower than in the passport
The discrepancy between the real battery capacity and the indicator that is indicated in the passport of a smartphone or tablet is more common than you think. There are just very few users who dare to double-check it. Most believe the documents, as well as the indicators of the programs, which also do not always display reliable data.
The reason for the discrepancy between the actual information and the nominal does not always lie in deception on the part of the manufacturer or seller (although this is also the case), it is just that lithium power supplies lose their capacity during long-term storage. If you bought a device from a year ago, even if proper storage its battery has become less capacious by 2-6%, and with the wrong one (i.e. when charged up to 100%) - by as much as 15-30%.
To calculate the real capacity of the battery, they use charging and discharging devices like iMAX, or homemade dischargers complete with a multimeter or USB tester. The exact readings are determined during the discharge of a fully charged battery.
If your phone's battery capacity is less than advertised, then it will discharge in a shorter time than expected. And, alas, it is impossible to influence this.
Capacity has decreased over time
The deterioration of the battery becomes noticeable after 1.5-2 years of using a smartphone or tablet. But it can come earlier if:
- often and for a long time to use the device at low and very high air temperatures (room temperature is the most favorable for the operation of lithium batteries);
- allow a discharge close to 0%.
- charge the device near heat sources;
- keep unused battery in 100% charge state at high temperature the environment(for storage, the optimal charge level is 40-50% and the temperature of the refrigerator);
- charge the battery with a higher voltage and currents than the manufacturer provided (the required level of current and voltage is indicated on the charger that was sold with the gadget).
Frequent short-term recharging, contrary to popular belief, does not harm the battery. A much greater influence is exerted by the current with which it is charged. It is preferable to charge lithium batteries with low currents, although this takes more time.
If your device's battery capacity has decreased due to wear and tear, the only solution is to replace the battery with a new one.
Using the gadget in cold or hot weather
When using a mobile device in unfavorable temperature conditions (up to +5 ⁰C and above +30 ⁰C), the battery is discharged much faster, but at temperatures close to room temperature, its capacity is immediately restored to its original level.
If you do not do this too often, the battery will not wear out quickly, but for calls in the cold it is still better to use a headset and keep the phone in a warm pocket.
High screen brightness
The screen of a mobile device on Android is the main consumer of energy. The brighter it is backlit, the faster the battery will drain.
The use of adaptive backlighting, which changes depending on ambient light, helps to reduce battery consumption (available only on devices equipped with a light sensor). To enable it, select the Auto checkbox in the screen brightness settings. And so that the screen does not remain on when you are not using the gadget, configure it to go into sleep mode after 30-60 seconds of inactivity.
Resource-intensive functions
The next active consumers of energy after the screen are:
- geolocation;
- live (animated) wallpapers;
- NFC and Bluetooth;
- mobile Internet (3G, 4G).
- Wi-Fi.
If they are all involved at the same time, even the most capacious battery will discharge very quickly, so whenever possible, turn off what you are not using.
Unstable cellular connection
You may have noticed that when you stay for a long time in places where the phone does not pick up the signal of the operator's base station, for example, outside the city, the battery is discharged faster than usual. This is because more energy is expended to maintain an unstable, lost connection.
The battery will drain faster even if the problem is with only one of the two SIM cards. To save charge, it is better to turn off such a SIM card for a while.
Apps and widgets running in the background
Many Android applications and widgets, after installation, register themselves in autostart and work in the background all the time while the device is turned on. When there are many such applications, the device not only discharges very quickly, but also noticeably slows down, so autorun should be controlled and allowed only to those programs that need it (antivirus, optimization tool, utility utilities, instant messengers, etc.).
Unfortunately, there are no functions to control the autorun of user and system applications in Android. But it becomes available after obtaining root (superuser) rights and installing special utilities on the device, such as:
- BootManager and some others
There are utilities that allow you to manage startup without root rights, but they do not work on every gadget and not always correctly.
Applications that were launched by the user himself can also consume battery resources, but after they became unnecessary, he forgot to close. The accumulation of such programs not only loads, but also heats up the processor, and from it, in turn, the battery heats up. And when heated, as we know, the phone's battery runs out very quickly.
It is also best to entrust control over processes that actively consume energy to special utilities. For example, the following:
- Power Battery etc.
By the way, the capabilities of most of them include cleaning the system from unnecessary files, cooling the processor, optimizing charging and a number of other tasks. To keep the device in order, it is advisable to use one of these utilities constantly.
Frequent reboots and switching on / off the device
In order to save power, some users regularly turn off their mobile gadget. Sometimes even several times during the day. This is another reason for the battery draining too quickly, as the power consumption is close to maximum when the device is started and the operating system is loaded.
Until you use an Android smartphone or tablet, you should not turn it off completely - just turn off the screen, complete resource-intensive tasks, turn off communication functions (Wi-Fi, GPRS, 3G-4G Internet, GPS, NFC and Bluetooth), background data transfer, sensors and vibration motor. To do this, most mobile gadgets have a power saving mode, the power button of which can be located in different sections of the settings (parameters) menu.
Infection with mobile viruses
Malware that attacks Android devices does not always operate openly. Often they conduct activities that are invisible to the user, and the signs of their presence are only empty accounts and very fast battery discharge, including in standby mode.
Latent viral infection should be excluded for any non-standard gadget behavior, for example:
- The phone or tablet wakes up without any active action on your part.
- The device heats up while in sleep mode.
- Wi-Fi, geolocation, mobile Internet and others are enabled on the device without your participation. Or they cannot be turned off.
- Unknown numbers appeared in the list of outgoing calls and SMS, and views of sites that you did not visit in the browser history.
- An application has designated itself as the device administrator without your knowledge.
- For unknown reasons, Google Play antivirus and other security applications stopped starting.
- Any system functions stopped working.
- The volume of the device's network traffic has increased for no reason.
Read about how to find and remove a mobile virus on our website. The instruction is relevant for Android phones and tablets of the most different brands: Samsung, LG, Xiaomi, Philips, Lenovo and others.
System or hardware failure
Some PC and laptop users have encountered such a problem as an incomplete shutdown of the computer, when the screen goes blank when the operating system is shut down, but some of the devices remain in an active state - the cooler continues to rotate, lights are on, etc. Exactly the same problem occurs on mobile devices, it's just not so easy to notice, because smartphones and tablets do not have a cooler, and the indicator shows only the charging stage. In the event of such malfunctions, the device, in fact, remains on all the time and, accordingly, even in the “as if off” state, it actively consumes battery power.
The causes of such problems can be faulty applications, viruses, operating system errors and a malfunction in the hardware of the device (including connected devices - memory cards, SIM cards, etc.).
The only symptom that allows one to suspect an incomplete shutdown of the device is too much battery consumption at a time when it should be minimal. And to make sure whether this is really your case, just remove the cover of your phone (tablet) and check the processor temperature with your fingers. If the device continues to operate after being turned off, the processor will remain warm. Sometimes, in this state, the body of the device heats up slightly, but sometimes it does not - it depends on its design.
What the user can do in such cases without contacting the wizards:
- Remove applications installed before the problem appeared (if it was possible to fix the time of its start).
- Conduct an anti-virus scan.
- Disconnect all connected devices.
- Reset the system to factory settings.
- Remove the battery (if it is removable), hold down the power button for 20-30 seconds and replace the battery.
- Reflash the device with a known workable firmware.
After each manipulation, check the gadget by turning it off. If the problem is not solved, you will have to take it to the service for repair, since the malfunction itself will not disappear, and the battery will use up its resource much faster than during normal operation.
If the phone starts to drain quickly, this does not mean that the battery is to blame. In 70% of cases, the user himself configured the device in such a way that it consumes a lot of battery power. Of course, the battery may also be to blame, but first you should try to change the settings, as well as calibrate the device's battery.
What to do if your smartphone runs out of battery quickly
There are many reasons why the battery is discharged in a matter of hours. Now we will consider the most basic of them and see how they are eliminated.
Reason 1: Maximum brightness
Often, users do not hesitate to set the high brightness of the display of their device. However, it should be taken into account that the larger it is, the higher is the consumption of the battery charge by the screen. An acceptable level of brightness is 40-50%. V latest version Android can adjust the brightness from the curtain.
Reason 2: Many wireless modules are activated
If the battery on your phone starts to drain quickly, you may have turned on Mobile Internet, bluetooth, Wi-Fi and don't turn it off. These modules are able to drain the battery charge in a short period of time. You can disable them through the menu "Settings" your device or through a shutter that is pulled out from the top of the display with your finger.
Reason 3: Applications running in the background
Sometimes the blame for why the phone on Android quickly began to discharge is the applications that run in the background and consume power. To find out which programs are running in the background you need:
After that, apps will stop running in the background and the battery will drain more slowly in standby mode.
Reason 4: The charge is displayed incorrectly
Incorrect calibration - common reason why new phone began to discharge quickly. You need to calibrate the battery of your device, and for this:
- Fully discharge the battery to turn off the device.
- Then take out the battery for 10 minutes and insert it back.
- Set your smartphone to charge for 8 hours (this is important).
- After this period of time has passed, you need to remove the smartphone from charging.
- Then you need to remove the battery and after waiting 10 minutes, insert it back.
- You can start the device, the battery is calibrated.
Reason 5: The power controller is out of order
Rarely, but still, the power controller can break down and transmit incorrect readings to the system, thereby not using all the charge and slowly charging the battery. What to do? In this case, you need to take the smartphone to the service center to repair or replace the chip.
Reason 6: Upgrade and Firmware
Often, it is after the device is updated that the battery starts to discharge quickly. The developers are making a mistake. In this case, you should roll back, if possible. Even unofficial firmware can also be poorly optimized and consume a lot of charge. Therefore, it is always best to use only stock firmware.
Reason 7: Viruses
Malicious apps are one of the reasons why the battery runs out, as they run in the background and constantly consume power. To check your phone for threats you need:
Reason 8: Battery worn out
Over time, the battery begins to deteriorate, hold less charge and heat up. If you have been using it for about 3 years, it is worth replacing the battery with a new one.
Reason 9: Imbalance
Some Samsung devices had such a problem when the battery capacity was not enough for the installed hardware. In this case, you should use portable batteries - Power Bank.
- You can often find tips on the Internet to use battery calibration apps like Battery Calibration. In fact, it is completely useless. Some argue that it helped, but these are isolated cases, and most likely the reason was not even that.
- There is also a recommendation to use the Clean Master app for device cleaning and optimization. This makes no sense, since all these programs consume a lot of charge and load the device. They are suitable if you need to clear the device memory, after which it is recommended to delete them.
Conclusion
That's all. Now you know why the battery on the phone began to drain quickly. Of course, you can find more whole line reasons, but I have identified the most basic of them. Use the recommendations I have given and do not see dubious advice on the Internet.
