What to do if the battery on your phone is fast. The battery drains quickly on Android - what to do. Reasons and how to increase battery power for Android. Running programs as a factor in why the phone battery drains quickly

Disable when not in use:

GPS satellites (Settings - Location and Device security)
Bluetooth
Mobile Internet (Settings - Wireless networks)

Sometimes such a syndrome as a quickly discharging smartphone battery manifests itself abruptly. For example, a battery holds a charge for two days, but the very next day at the same load level it begins to discharge after 8-12 hours.

What could be the reason for the sudden decrease in time? battery life battery?

The reason may lie in a virus program. The virus could have gotten onto your smartphone in many ways. For example, it could simply be contained in one of the updates installed automatically on your device. Install a fresh and effective antivirus from the application store and conduct a full scan of your device.
The reason is an application that is consuming too much battery. Possibly one of the last installed applications consumes too much battery power or prevents the smartphone from going into sleep mode completely. If you installed new apps before your battery began to drain quickly, uninstall them and then restart your smartphone.
You need to reset your smartphone. Perhaps several applications on your smartphone at once have dramatically increased battery consumption. The best solution in this case would be to reset your smartphone to factory settings.
It is necessary to calibrate the smartphone charge. To do this, first drain your battery to the minimum possible. After this, remove the battery from the device. After a few minutes, insert it into your smartphone and, without turning on the gadget, charge the battery for 8-10 hours. After this, remove the battery again for a few minutes and insert it into the smartphone. Turn on your device.

If after all the steps described above the smartphone battery still discharges quickly, it is most likely that its service life has simply expired and the battery needs to be replaced. You can also contact the specialists of our service center, who will help determine and eliminate the cause of rapid battery discharge.

Samsung galaxy note 3. After three years of use, a defect appeared: without the system, an instant discharge to 0 occurs, the phone turns off, tries to turn on, but since there is no charge, it turns off and the attempt to turn on will be repeated again and again. It charges normally and can work normally for an arbitrary amount of time (an hour, two, ten), but it will still instantly discharge and turn off. Resetting to factory defaults and restoring via smart switch did not solve the problem.

Administrator March 27, 2017 11:48

Good evening. Please tell me. I bought a new smartphone Digma VOX 505. It discharges quickly, if you don’t use WI-FI, just in standby mode, then charging lasts for 6-7 hours. If you turn on WI-FI, the charge decreases before your eyes, approximately 20% in 20 minutes. The settings are all factory settings, I didn’t download the applications, since the phone was 2 days old from the date of purchase. I completely turned off the backlight to a minimum, removed the video response, etc. There is also “Energy saving in standby mode.” Everything that can be turned off and factory settings, and still writes: screen 46%, standby mode 25% for 6 hours, if you don’t use the phone completely. Thanks in advance for your answer.

Administrator April 02, 2017 11:49

Marina, Good afternoon! For a new phone, these are quite low indicators; we recommend that you take the phone under warranty (return, exchange), or contact a service center for diagnostics and replacement of the battery, in which case the warranty, as a rule, expires.

Anastasia April 02, 2017 23:35

Hello. I bought a Prestigio tablet yesterday, but after 1 hour there is only 13-15 percent charge left. I also noticed that the lid smelled terribly of plastic, and after an hour it was hot.

Administrator April 03, 2017 12:28

Anastasia, Good afternoon! We recommend that you take it under warranty or to a service center to diagnose and fix the problem (the warranty in this case usually expires). The smell of plastic is typical for inexpensive immigrants from China; perhaps it will go away over time or become less obvious.

Good afternoon 04/17/17 purchased two phones meizu m5 black, meizu m5 gold. Golden color. On the gold one, the battery quickly ran out, in sleep mode with applications and the Internet turned off, it dropped to 12% in an hour and a half. Delivered under warranty on the third day. It may turn out that they will give it to me for repairs and say that everything is fine. I'm already afraid to use it. And one more question. A black phone in standby mode with the Internet, Wi-Fi, and applications turned off drops by 4% in 3.5-4 hours, is this normal? It’s just that my previous lg h502f magna didn’t sit down like that, but it dropped the charge by 7-10% right away, for example, recently it was 48%, and after 10 seconds it was 38%.

Administrator April 28, 2017 16:20

Sergey, Good afternoon! You may have received a defective device, better just take it under warranty. Regarding the standby mode with 4% off. data and applications, quite a good indicator, not worth worrying about.

Such a disaster. Chinese smartphone, 3 years of use, includes 2 batteries with a capacity of 2100 mAh. It started to hold a charge poorly, the craftsmen repacked the battery, the cat. was more swollen, with recommendations to discharge-charge at least 3 times for 12 hours. As a result, the asset is discharged quickly within 2-3 hours. use, charges even faster in 30-40 minutes. They repackaged it for me 2 times (the 1st time they said that the nutrient element of the “jar” was defective and was replaced), and the same story. Is it really the second time that it was defective again or is it the battery and what could happen to it? The moment with the controller, if something was wrong with him, would they notice it? Or unscrupulous specialists got caught. Thanks in advance for your answer and advice.

Perhaps the problem is not in the battery, I think you should contact a service center to diagnose the phone (usually this is a free procedure, at least in our service), and only then buy a battery because if this is not the case, you will be throwing money away (batteries are usually not returnable).

Good afternoon Lenovo S930 phone, 2 years old. Suddenly it began to quickly lose charge, even in an inactive state, i.e. when I turn off the screen. It started charging very slowly, I tried changing cables and charging adapters - the speed was different (from 0% in half an hour, to 3-4% in half an hour). I tried to replace the battery with a new one: strangely enough, the phone said that the charge was now the same as on the removed battery - 70%. What could be the problem here?

Hello, Symbad, it’s so difficult to determine the problem, because a lot depends on the smartphone model and how long you’ve been using it, it’s better to make a diagnosis, which, by the way, is free with us;))

Alexandra September 02, 2017 03:26

Hello, the Lenovo s60 phone (2 years old) suddenly suddenly began to discharge quickly, before that it froze rigidly, froze for about 5-6 hours, I tried to disassemble it to somehow turn it off, in the end nothing worked, I came to my senses, after that incident, they began to discharge quickly and charge too, literally in 30-40m to 100%, well, it discharges just as quickly, even in sleep mode it does not survive until the morning, + when you turn off or reboot the phone, it loses charge by 30-50% immediately , I don’t know what to do, whether it’s worth saving him or whether it’s time for the old man to retire, or maybe it’s some kind of nluck..

Administrator September 03, 2017 10:27

Hello, most likely there could be problems with the battery if you haven’t changed it during all the time you’ve been using it, because every part has an expiration date, however, to accurately identify it, you need to carry out diagnostics, since you may have started having problems with the power controller, and this is already the work is more difficult and longer. In our center, diagnostics are carried out free of charge;)

Irina September 10, 2017 19:28

Hello, I bought a digma phone, it didn’t hold a charge at all, the phone was 1.5 weeks old. I took it to the salon under warranty and came back two weeks later with the answer that everything was fine and there were no deviations, they reset it to factory settings, took it in the evening for a day and that’s it, the charging started to drop again, I charge it, it heats up and charges for a long time. help me please

Varya September 10, 2017 19:29

Unfortunately, we cannot help you remotely; here you need to diagnose and look for the exact cause.

Andrey September 16, 2017 17:28

Hello, Lenovo P70a, tell me how to replace the battery? After all, the phone was working well and then the battery started to run out.

Varya September 16, 2017 17:40

Hello, to replace the battery on a Lenovo P70-a at home, not only do you need to have special tools, it is also not entirely simple, since in this model, in order to disconnect the battery cable, you need to unscrew the back cover, and also the motherboard, since it is located under it, as well as the battery itself is glued to a special glue and it is quite difficult to peel it off, and of course, out of ignorance you can damage small parts in the phone. Very often people come to us who also wanted to fix their phone themselves, thinking that they knew the real problem, but the problem was completely different.

Noname September 21, 2017 05:12

The phone's charge runs out quickly, in less than an hour after charging, and it is wasted, and the phone says that it still has 100 or 90 percent charge. What to do?

Varya September 21, 2017 10:00

Good morning, since you didn’t write what phone model you have, it’s difficult to give an exact answer. The most common problem is a problem with the battery itself, the power controller, or the charging controller. You need to diagnose your phone to find the real problem, we offer it for free.

Hello, xiaomi phone redmi 4x, bought a week ago, at night the battery drains by 1-5%, during the day in standby mode the charge also constantly drains, in an hour about 1-3%. I don’t know if this is normal for a 4100 mAh battery?

Varya October 06, 2017 14:00

Hello, in general, for the night this discharge is considered a normal indicator, but during the day it all depends on what applications you have open and what processes may be used for it, all this is very individual.

Anastasia October 22, 2017 17:27

The smartphone discharges quickly (Samsung Galaxy J500. I charged it for 4 hours at night, then I turned it off and at 8 am it started working. Until 17 o'clock and that's it - it was discharged. Help. The phone is new and has been missing for half a year.

Varya October 22, 2017 17:28

Good evening, perhaps your phone has a virus, this could affect the battery, so it’s worth doing a factory reset, just make a backup copy of your data first, as all data will be deleted, if this does not help you, then the best thing to do is take it to diagnostic guarantees.

Alexander November 03, 2017 19:04

Tell me why the phone discharges unevenly, i.e. it can decrease from 100 to 40 in a couple of minutes, then hold these 40 for 2 hours

Varya November 03, 2017 19:05

Hello, for a more accurate answer, you need to understand what kind of smartphone you have and carry out diagnostics, but most likely you have a malfunction of the battery or power controller.

Maksim November 06, 2017 15:16

Hello, my phone is fly fs 501 numbers 3, Lately The battery discharges very quickly, I changed the battery 2 times, but to no avail, what do you think is the problem?

Varya November 06, 2017 15:17

Hello, if you have already changed the battery more than once, then most likely the problem is in the power circuit itself, and actually in the power controller, but still, before the work itself, you need to make a diagnosis :)))

Rustam November 15, 2017 22:20

Hello, I have a phone Sony Xperia z2. I often charged my phone on the train, after that my phone began to drain quickly, after a year my battery swelled and I bought a “new” one on Avito. Right now it is also discharging. Maybe the problem is not the battery? If you buy a new one from the store, it is also not a fact that it will not also be discharged.

Ivan January 06, 2018 22:17

Hello, my phone is dying very quickly, I don’t know what to do. Charging lasts for 3-4 hours at most. Whatever I did: I checked for viruses for weeks without touching it, and when I sit down to play, it heats up to a chopping distance. Help me solve this problem, please.

Administrator January 06, 2018 22:18

Hello, if it's warm rear end, it would be a good idea to check the battery. Old batteries do not perform their function very well, so they heat up quickly. Replacing the battery will help correct the situation.

If the front part gets hot, this may be due to using the touch screen for a long time. Sometimes the phone gets hot due to the processor not working correctly. In both cases, it is better to diagnose the phone)

I have a Samsung Galaxy. This is what helped me: I opened “Settings”, then “Data Usage”, there is a “Background Mode” section. Opened it. Reading: Turn the switches below to the off position to prevent inactive applications from using mobile data. I turned off all the switches and immediately saw how quickly the phone began to charge before my eyes. Now it works fine. Before this, I removed unnecessary applications, but not to factory defaults, just unnecessary ones.

What are the reasons why your phone drains quickly? What to do if the battery on your Android phone, smartphone or tablet runs out quickly? How to save battery power in Android OS and extend its service life? Find answers to these and some other questions in this article. Rapid battery drain on Android is a fairly common problem, just like Google.

Reasons why your phone battery may drain quickly.

Saving battery on Android, as in any other mobile devices, means reducing sources of charge consumption.

The most energy-consuming applications are those that use your GPS location (for example, navigators or photo applications). The lion's share of the battery is consumed by the Internet, especially if you use high-speed connections (3G, 4G, LTE).

The higher the connection speed, the more the phone's charge is consumed. The Android battery is especially drained when the cellular network or Wi-Fi signal is weak. You may have noticed that when you actively use 4G Internet on Android, your phone gets very hot and literally discharges before your eyes.

Another common reason for rapid battery drain may be unoptimized applications or an outdated version of the Android OS. If you notice that the battery is draining in a particular application, try to find a replacement for comparison. For unique and irreplaceable applications, there is also a way out - write a review to the developer indicating your phone model and Android version.

Check regularly for available mobile updates. operating system Android for your device. Often in later versions such serious errors as the rapid discharge of the device are corrected. Various notifications and reminders (text, sound) also “eat up” a considerable part of the charge.

The brightness of the phone's display, especially if it is large (4+ inches), can greatly affect the rate of battery drain in the Android OS. If you use the phone in highly lit places, in sunny weather outside, for example, the screen brightness automatically increases to maximum. Otherwise, you won't see anything on the screen due to glare and reflections. But in this mode, the phone consumes a lot of extra energy.

As you know, there is no perpetual motion machine. Any, even the best, modern and powerful battery or battery has its own service life. Over time, the battery capacity decreases and the charge lasts for a shorter and shorter period of time.

The battery of a phone, smartphone or tablet (like any other mobile device) is designed for a certain number of charge and discharge cycles. For lithium-ion (the most popular today) power supplies, this number is approximately 400.

Of course, you need to understand that not all manufacturers are interested in creating “eternal” batteries designed for a long service life. The average battery life on Android with active use of the gadget is 2-4 years. After this period, no one guarantees its full and proper operation.

Inexpensive smartphone models may be equipped with low-quality batteries that do not meet the declared characteristics and have a very limited service life.

There are some folk remedies to “revive” or “bring to life” the battery on Android. We are talking about calibrating the battery. Read about it below.

The best ways to save battery power for Android devices.

Based on the above reasons, the following recommendations can be suggested to save Android battery power:

Turn off location services for apps if you don't use them. The same applies to other radio transmitters, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFCg;
A weak LTE signal drains the phone's battery much more than the average 3G, with comparable access speeds. Try limiting the 4G reception mode in the settings. Always turn on Airplane mode (On an airplane) when the network signal is weak (for example, on a train);
Install all available updates for Android OS, including application updates;
Close all unnecessary background applications, especially those that use the Internet connection and GPS;
Disable keyboard vibration;
If possible, reduce the screen brightness to the most comfortable level, do not use the phone in highly lit places (in bright light, in the sun). Disable automatic screen brightness adjustment;
Disable all decorations such as animated (live) wallpapers, moving screensavers and icons, etc.;
Turn off notifications in unused or rarely used apps. Fewer notifications means longer battery life;
See which application consumes the most energy, go to “Settings” - “Battery”.

If you do not want to sacrifice any of these functions, simply increase the capacity of your Android battery by purchasing a special case with a built-in battery. This is one of the simplest and most convenient ways to increase the battery life of your Android phone without charging.

The battery on Android turns off and drains quickly in the cold or frost.

Some users of not only Android OS but also iOS (iPhone) are wondering why the battery drains quickly in cold weather? And how to deal with this?

The specifications of modern mobile equipment and electronics usually indicate the recommended temperature conditions for the devices. For most Android phones, smartphones and tablets, this range is from 5 to 30 degrees Celsius.

Strictly speaking, neither Android phones nor iPhones are designed to operate in sub-zero temperatures. Those. they are not adapted to work in harsh Russian conditions. But you can still give a couple of tips on this matter.

Keep your smartphone as close to your body and warm as possible. For example, in an internal pocket. Do not use it outdoors in very low temperatures. If you need to make a call or use other functions, go to a warm place.

Android battery calibration.

How to calibrate the battery on Android? Android battery calibration is required if there are problems with charging and battery life. This procedure also helps to extend the service life and restore the original capacity of the battery.

Battery calibration is available in several ways, see this video for more details:

My Android phone won't charge at all.

There are times when a smartphone is connected to a charger, but it does not charge. This may be solvable in some cases or be evidence of serious problems in others.

To begin with, try sealing (with electrical tape or tape) one of the battery contacts in turn and try to charge it again. Then peel off the contact and repeat the action. If this does not help, you will need to test the faults at a service center.

In severe cases, the phone or Android smartphone dies immediately after charging or after a few minutes. Here, most likely the problem is in the battery itself; it may need to be completely replaced.

These notes are relevant for any version of Android and different models of smartphones (Samsung, Meizu, Xiaomi, Asus, etc.) I hope that you found this information useful and drew your own conclusions. If you have something to discuss, write in the comments. Good luck! 😉

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 can also be caused by the presence of malware on the smartphone, incorrect downloading of Android OS updates, or 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 can provide additional load - for example advertising banners. Some sites are also demanding to visit.

Battery wear

If you have been using the device for more than a year, the battery may be worn out. To avoid premature wear, it is necessary to maintain its condition. Careless use and ignoring recommendations can lead to battery damage. This is especially true for tablet owners - their work requires a lot of energy. Tablet batteries are also more susceptible to premature wear. For prevention, you must follow the rules of correct charging:

Avoid operating when the charge level is below 10%;
do not leave the device in direct sunlight;
reduce use time when charging;
Do not unplug your phone until the charge level reaches 80%.

It is also undesirable to work with the device when charging, since over time this leads to damage to the charger and the connector itself. Problems with the connector can also cause battery wear.

After updating Android, the battery drains quickly

What to do if the battery runs out quickly on Android, but the device is relatively new?

To update, use only the official Google app, avoid third-party software. If the phone has been reflashed, the problem may be due to flaws in the program. Only reinstalling the operating system will help here.

The problem is often encountered among Samsung owners; on the forums there is a problem of rapid discharge after an update. There is a version that with the advent of new models of Galaxy smartphones, older ones are getting updates that specifically overload the battery. With the help of such manipulations, manufacturers push people to buy new Samsung devices. The version sounded implausible before the scandal with Apple, which was accused of similar manipulations.

How to fix it?

After installation, go to settings, find information about the device. Disable "developer options" if they were active. Also in the settings there is an option to roll back the latest update. Rapid battery consumption can be caused by flaws in the new OS, using many background processes.

Using a 4G mobile network causes your smartphone to discharge faster. While moving, the device switches from one communication tower to another, which puts a strain on the battery. The device requires a break from all types of communication - Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile network. At night or when there is no need, you should put the device in “standby mode”, and when traveling, leave only 3G.

Screen

Also, the battery is consumed by the use of auto-rotate screen, animated screensavers, and screen brightness. To save battery, use static images as screensavers, adjust brightness and auto-rotate manually depending on your needs. To reduce energy consumption, enable automatic brightness adjustment - at night the phone will reduce the brightness, and in sunlight it will increase.

Charging runs out quickly when background programs are highly active. You can disable their operation manually in the menu settings. Why do they work even after being turned off? Some applications require processes to run at any time, even when the device is not in use. The problem is solved by installing utilities that close them forcibly.

Android also has system applications that you probably don’t use - press, presentations. You can delete them through settings - applications.

Removing unnecessary programs

The main problem when there are a large number of programs is the load on RAM. Files that load memory include browser history, cookies, download paths. Clearing your phone's cache helps free up additional memory, which improves its performance.

What should you do if your phone battery drains quickly and requires an Android update? If your device has accumulated big number media files - this becomes an obstacle to the operation of applications. The device begins to quickly discharge and heat up. Sooner or later it becomes impossible to take a photo or download a media file. There are also problems updating applications.

To monitor the cache on your phone, periodically clear the cache in your browser; this function is available in the settings of the applications themselves. Download the CCleaner utility for Android, which will help you free up memory on your device. The utility also corrects system errors, which will also help increase performance.

Photos and videos take up a lot of space on your device. Personal media files can be transferred to Google Drive. Or simply transfer the files to your computer or external storage device.

Malware – viruses

Viruses can get onto your phone by downloading files from dubious resources. The first sign of their presence is the phone overheating even at rest and slow operation of applications. Viruses launch background applications that cannot be closed even with the help of special utilities. Some types of malware software delete personal files by infecting other devices through a direct connection.

There are two ways to rid your device of viruses:

Connect the device to the computer and scan it through a third-party antivirus.
Download antivirus to your device.

Any paid antivirus has free trial access, be it Kaspersky or Dr. Web". To use full functionality, it makes sense to purchase the paid version.

Some Android smartphone models have built-in energy saving features. To check its presence, you need to go to settings - battery.

To extend the battery life, it is necessary to expose it to low-charge conditions as little as possible. If your smartphone discharges critically quickly, none of the methods described above will help. Using the device with a faulty battery may worsen its condition; contact a service center.

In pursuit of low prices, you may encounter unqualified repairs, the consequences of which may be more expensive. The battery may be replaced with a low-quality one that will not cope with the load. When choosing a service center, you need to make sure that the replacement will use components from an official manufacturer.

The solution to the problem of rapid battery drain is to create an optimal smartphone configuration by disabling little-used or unused functions.

It is also important to monitor the gadget for irrational use of energy resources, which specialized programs can help with.

Causes and solutions

Why does my Android battery drain quickly? There are many reasons for this battery behavior:

running background processes,
accelerometer sensor,
beautiful fashionable desktop live wallpaper,
high display brightness,
included built-in wireless technologies and more.

We offer a number of methods to solve this problem. These methods are based on disabling a number of smartphone functions that consume a lot of energy but are not used by the user. There is also the possibility of software solving the problem of fast battery consumption.

Live wallpaper

Live wallpapers are ordinary applications that consume a considerable amount of battery power. Use regular images as desktop wallpapers, but remove animated wallpapers.

Video: What to do if the battery is running low

Accelerometer sensor

This sensor is one of the main components of the device that “eats” the charge. One of its functions is to rotate the screen image if the user has rotated the device. The accelerometer constantly monitors the position of the smartphone and therefore consumes energy.

You can disable the accelerometer sensor in the settings. For example, it may be located in the “System” section. You just need to move the slider to the off state to turn off the accelerometer.

Background processes

Why does a new Android battery drain quickly? Background processes are also to blame. Sometimes, users do not close applications, but launch new ones, forcing the open program to go into the background.

It becomes invisible, but continues to execute. There are also many services running in the background.

To stop a background program:

It is better to disable background processes using optimizer programs, and not try to do it manually. Without the necessary experience, you can disable an important system process, which will lead to unstable operation of the gadget. Instead, you can use the capabilities of a program such as Battery Saver.

Economy Display Settings

The rate of battery drain depends on display characteristics such as brightness. This is one of the main reasons when answering the question why the battery on an Android began to discharge quickly.

The higher this indicator, the more energy resources the screen consumes. Therefore, to save energy, you need to reduce this characteristic to the optimal level.

You can manipulate the screen brightness level from the device settings section:

open the smartphone settings;
in the next step, select the “Display” option in the “Device” section;
Find the “Screen” section and select the “Brightness” option in it;
Using the brightness level slider, in the additional window that opens, adjust the display brightness - optimal level 30%.

Communication setup

Modern portable devices are equipped with 2G, 3G and already 4G mobile communications - their modules consume a lot of energy resources, so they should also be turned off. First, you need to decide on the main purpose of using the gadget: only voice calls or data transfer.

Second generation cellular communications are capable of transmitting only voice. Third and fourth generation networks are capable of transmitting both voice and data. If the smartphone is used only for phone calls, then it is better to turn off the 3rd generation connection. This can save significant amounts of battery energy.

Disabling wireless technologies

Chipsets of modern gadgets are equipped with built-in wireless technology modules.

Popular ones include:

data transfer protocols under the usual name Wi-fi;
Bluetooth short-range data transfer protocol;

In the absence of a 3G module, WAP mobile data transfer technology is used to access the Internet.

Each wireless technology module, when turned on, is also a large consumer of charge. If its capabilities are not needed in this moment, which means it should be disabled.

"Airplane mode"

Mobile devices are equipped with different operating states. One of these states is called autonomous or “airplane mode.” It is necessary to limit the user's access to cellular communications while flying on an airplane.

In this case, the gadget does not turn off completely, but leaves modules such as Wi-fi and GPS active for use.

Offline mode can be used to save battery power. This is well known to tourists who, when they find themselves in an area of poor coverage, switch their gadgets to flight mode. Trying to catch a bad signal, the gadget spends a lot of energy for this, and switching to an autonomous operating state allows you to save it for a future call.

2G networks only

If a smartphone is equipped with mobile communication modules of different generations, then it can be configured so that it will only work with GSM. The option required for this may have different names: “Only 2G networks” or “Only GSM”.

Enabling this setting will disable mobile communications more high generations(WCDMA, LTE). The smartphone user will continue to use it only in voice mode, saving significant amounts of energy resources at the same time.

Enabling this method of operation may vary on different devices.

However this function is always located in the “Network Mode” subsection of the “Mobile Networks” section. For example:

Other

There are a number of smaller factors that can contribute to the battery’s accelerated loss of its energy resources:

vibrate alert enabled;
vibration response when typing;
excessive volume of playing melodies;
sensors magnetic field, light, gravity, pressure, thermometers and others;
GPS enabled.

Battery saving app

You can monitor and optimize battery energy consumption using specialized applications. We offer for consideration two of the most popular programs among users: EasyBatterySaver and BatteryDoctor. One of them is very simple, and the second is more difficult to use.

EasyBatterySaver

The features of this application are very simple. It allows you to disable or enable different smartphone modules:

WiFi;
Bluetooth;
Auto-rotate screen;
Auto-sync;

You can also use it to adjust the screen brightness and the timeout for entering the power saving state.

For example, if to save battery you need to disable the accelerator sensor function, then there is no need to “unearth” the corresponding setting in your smartphone. With Easy, you just need to press the “Auto-rotatescreen” button.

Battery Doctor Saver

Doctor Saver - morecomplexprogram. It will allow:

Using the functions of this application, you can monitor battery temperature and voltage. It must be said that Battery Doctor itself has a service running in the background, and therefore this program is a big consumer of battery power.

Firmware update

To improve the performance of the Android operating environment with the battery, users resort to updating the firmware.

This can be done in several ways:

through the system update configuration;
using an update downloaded manually from the manufacturer’s official website;
using special programs available in the Play Market.

To update the Android version and its firmware, you need to follow these steps:

The system will independently check for the latest version of Android and, if one is found, will begin downloading the found updates. It will prompt the user to agree to install the downloaded new version.

Having received a positive response, Android will reboot the mobile phone and open a command terminal in which it will install updates.

We have looked at a small list of ways to solve the problem of a smartphone quickly draining. As you can see, the rate of battery discharge is affected by several factors: active live wallpapers, wireless data transfer modules, background processes, high screen brightness, built-in sensors, cellular modules, etc.

To reduce energy consumption, you need to disable unused modules, stop using live wallpapers, and, if possible, switch to energy-saving methods of consumption

If your smartphone's battery drains too quickly, don't worry: you can probably squeeze more life out of it by optimizing some of your phone's settings. As part of the article, we will tell you what to do when your Android battery drains quickly.

Reasons why your phone runs out of battery quickly

There are two main reasons why your phone battery drains quickly:

hardware - battery wear due to long-term use, overheating, malfunction of the power controller;
software - flaws in the firmware, crooked software, unreasonable use of data transfer modules, etc.

It is very difficult to eradicate faults from the first category; you will probably have to change the battery or go to a service center. Yes, you can distort the contacts at home and remove the battery, but a mistake will lead to irreversible consequences.

With the second group everything is simpler, there is a lot in your hands, and we will tell you what to do if the battery on Android quickly runs out.

What to do when your phone runs out of juice quickly?

Let's discuss ways you can quickly reduce your energy consumption.

Check which apps are using the most battery

Tap Settings - Battery to see a list of all the apps and how much power they use. If an app you don't use often is consuming too much, consider deleting it, freezing it, or stopping it.

Remove unnecessary software and advertising

Programs often leave their services hanging in the background, they load RAM and load the processor, reducing the operating time on a single charge. Remove unnecessary applications, especially unnecessary instant messengers and anything that tries to connect to the Internet. To get to the uninstall menu, go to “Settings - Applications”.

It often happens that advertising built into software causes the smartphone to actively discharge due to additional downloads of material from the network. To neutralize it, use an ad blocker, for example, Adguard. You can download it from Play Market.

Never use task killers (CleanMaster)

Despite the popularity of killer apps for Android, they cause great harm to the phone, as they unload the necessary components and services from memory, which start again, forcing the processor to work at higher frequencies. And this goes on forever.

Even through the multitasking window, there is no point in constantly unloading processes. Unless they are the ones you rarely use. Android has already learned to regulate its work independently background activity, there is no point in helping him with this, since Doze does an excellent job.

Uninstall unnecessary widgets from your home screen

Widgets drain your battery due to constant synchronization and update animations. They also litter the RAM. It's not worth getting rid of all widgets, but try to remove those that are not so important.

Turn on airplane mode in low signal areas

Smartphones use a lot of power when trying to connect in areas with low signal strength. Therefore, if you cannot get a stable network connection, activate airplane mode. To do this, roll the curtain down and tap on the airplane icon.

If there is no icon there, then go to “Settings - Wireless & Networks”.

Turn off data when not in use

Mobile Internet, especially over LTE, is committing total genocide of charge. Try to turn it off whenever possible. This will greatly reduce consumption in standby mode and give at least one additional hour of screen activity per day.

Disable GPS when not in use

GPS is the heaviest module for the battery (you probably noticed this when using Google Maps). This is another component, in addition to 4G, that mercilessly kills charge percentage. Therefore, never forget to deactivate it on your smartphone.

Also follow the path “Settings - Location - icon with three dots - Search”, and now turn off both items that are responsible for constantly searching for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Turn on power saving mode

For Android 5.0 and later, this feature allows you to increase battery life. For example, animations will be eliminated, most background syncing will stop, and location services will be disabled. The operating system suggests activating this mode when the charge reaches 15% in order to extend operating time.

Reduce screen brightness

If you're using Android 5.0 or later, go to Settings - Display and turn on Automatic Brightness, which will allow the display to adapt to lighting conditions, ensuring the screen is never brighter than necessary.

But if your battery is in a "deplorable" state, manually dimming the screen is good method extend your autonomy until you get to charging.

Remove live wallpaper

The system offers the flexibility to personalize your home screen, but try not to overuse it and avoid live wallpapers. They load the processor and RAM. It is better to give preference to a static picture on the desktop.

Reduce the time before the screen turns off

You can save battery many times over by reducing the time the display remains active. Open Settings - Display to set the screen timeout to 30 or 60 seconds, for example. It seems that this is not very important, but in this way you will significantly reduce energy consumption, because the matrix (especially IPS) consumes it the most.

Stop vibration

The vibration motor requires power to operate, not very much, but still. To disable it, go to “Settings - Sound - Other Sounds” and uncheck “Vibration Feedback”. Also turn off vibration in your keyboard settings.

Keep your phone cool

According to research, battery health deteriorates greatly when it gets too hot. Do not leave your phone on the car dashboard on a sunny day, on a windowsill, under a laptop cooler, etc. The most important thing is not to let the “can” heat up to 45 o C. Monitor the heating during games using the AIDA64 utility. Typically, heating under load is controlled by throttling (the process of lowering processor frequencies to reduce heating), but it is better to play it safe and control the heat dissipation yourself. It is very important.

Always download updates

Install firmware and application updates. They are often aimed at improving energy efficiency.

Keep charge between 30% and 90%

The best way to keep your battery healthy for a couple of years is to not discharge it below 30-40% and not charge it above 80-90%. This is not always possible, but at least try not to charge the gadget overnight, so that when it is charged, it does not remain connected to the outlet for 4-6 hours at 100%. All this reduces battery capacity.

We understand that you can argue “who serves whom: the phone is yours or are you the phone?”, so you shouldn’t obey the requirements of the battery so much, but try to discharge it to 0% as little as possible and leave it overnight.

Sometimes let the battery drain

Calibrating - completely discharging and then recharging your phone's battery to 100% every three months helps maintain battery capacity.

Destroy viruses

Malicious programs sometimes enter the system and affect the device in such a way that it starts to dry up faster. To remove them, check the list of applications for suspicious software. Also download an antivirus solution from the app store, for example, Kaspersky, launch it and let it scan the operating system. After this, remove the hazardous components.

Change the firmware

This is a rather radical method, which sometimes works best, because on stock firmware gadgets sometimes discharge too quickly. Read about the available custom ones, find out which one is the most stable and holds a charge well. Afterwards, carefully install the assembly. Often, firmware based on Lineage or AOSP is careful with charge, so over time many decide to switch to them from official shells.

Factory reset

If all else fails, the phone begins to consume unreasonably a lot, do a Hard reset to return the system to its original state. Go to “Settings - Backup and reset - Reset settings”. Read the warning, make a backup copy of the data that will be deleted, and start the process. This will help mitigate system failures that sometimes occur.

Troubleshooting hardware problems

Now let's touch on the topic of solutions to hardware problems.

Battery calibration using Google methods

We bring to your attention the battery calibration method proposed by Google. In some cases, it helps to normalize the behavior of the battery and power controller, which has begun to incorrectly determine the capacity.

Connect a completely discharged mobile phone to the power supply and charge it with it turned on for at least eight hours.
Unplug it, turn it off and charge it for another hour.
Disconnect the device, start it, use it for one or two minutes.
Turn it off and plug it back in for an hour.

The method looks strange, but it allows you to reset the controller statistics and adjust the real capacity to the software algorithms for calculating it.

Use only original charging components

This is important, since some devices with fast charging do not accept connection to third-party power supplies well. Also, too much power, for which the components are not designed for, can harm the battery, and it will begin to run out faster.

We have described the most important methods. Not all of them will be possible to accomplish, but the purpose of this article was also to explain to you what most affects the discharge, and you, knowing the reasons, could independently develop an energy-efficient and comfortable profile for working with the device.
