What could be the reason that the battery on the "Android" is quickly discharged? And most importantly, how can this be fixed? This article will discuss the main causes of this problem and how to solve it.
Small battery capacity
The banal reason why the battery on Android quickly runs out is its small capacity, that is, less than 1600 mAh. Unfortunately, in this case it remains only to put up with what is, and try to spend the minimum energy on which the smartphone works, it is reasonable. And this means following such tips as not to run unnecessary applications and disable unnecessary functions. Details of the actions that need to be done in such a situation will be described in the article below.
Battery wear
Sooner or later, all batteries come to this point. And the battery on the "Android" quickly discharges sometimes due to the fact that during the use of the device it has worn out and it needs a replacement. You can choose the original battery for the model, but it is difficult and expensive, you can buy a fake or use the products of battery companies like CRAFTMAN, which supply universal batteries for smartphones, tablets and other gadgets. In any case, picking up a new battery is not so difficult: in the market for technical products, there is enough choice.
Launched programs as a factor of why the battery on the phone runs out quickly
“Android” is an operating system, which means that once you download and close any program, you cannot be sure that it did not stay in the
background. Many running programs are another reason why the battery on Android quickly runs out. What to do? First, use the built-in or advanced cleaning options. Secondly, from time to time to reboot the device, as is done on computers and laptops to reset the operating memory. This not only saves battery power, but also just helps your smartphone or tablet run faster.
Unstable communication signal
Recently, many mobile operators offer the user 3G coverage, but almost always it is, to put it mildly, unstable. This means that when moving around the city, the network on a smartphone or tablet with a SIM card is forced to constantly switch from normal 2G to 3G. Because of this, the battery on the Android is also quickly discharged. In order to prevent this from happening, in the settings you can force only GSM.
GPS
In many Android devices, GPS is turned on by default. But in reality, a small number of people use it. That's why, as unnecessary, this function can be safely turned off, since it only once again “loads” the phone and takes energy from the battery. If even this function is in active use, you can enable it only when there is a real need for it.
Screen brightness
The screen brightness is adjustable. And there is a clear proportional dependence of the energy given off by the battery on its value. A very bright screen is rarely what you cannot do without. Among its shortcomings, in addition to the above, in addition, an excessive strain on the eyes. It is enough to choose the ideal value for yourself. In addition, information on a dull monitor in strong sunlight is much more visible.
Tips for extending battery life
In addition to eliminating the reasons described above, you can also use the following tips for extending the battery life of the device on "Android". Their effectiveness on different gadgets can vary, but it has been tested by time and other users.
Battery calibration
Calibrating a battery is the process of putting the battery in an optimal state for use. It is done because the device can incorrectly memorize the charge level and its consumption, as a result of which, even if the level is actually 95 percent, the device perceives this incorrectly and the smartphone / tablet turns off. If you simply replace the battery, the problem will remain, that is, in vain efforts will be expended.
To calibrate the battery in GooglePlay, you can download the appropriate application, but you can do it manually. First of all, you will need to completely discharge the device, remove and reinsert the battery, not including the device, charge up to one hundred percent, carry out actions with the battery from the previous paragraph, turn it on.
In fact, there are many calibration options, you just need to choose the right one for yourself.
Disabling automatic system updates
It is known that disabling automatic system updates not only extends the device’s battery life, but also prevents unnecessary downloads, which means it reduces the cost of Internet traffic. It is recommended to set "ask before installing updates" in the settings. They are available on GooglePlay under the "My Applications" section.
"NOT!" unused processes
It is recommended to regularly clear the memory of unused application processes, clear temporary data, cache of Internet browsers, etc. To do this, you can use both standard system tools and additional ones.
More tips
You should not download applications that supposedly save battery power, in fact they only load the system even more.
If the battery on Android quickly discharges (Samsung, for example, often sins this), you must turn off all unused networks, uncheck the "auto-rotate screen" and "auto brightness".
A special tip for smartphones with AMOLED screen: it is recommended to put dark themes, rather than bright and bright.
Additional Actions
If you approach the case of the discharge of a smartphone / tablet on the “Android” with all responsibility and prudence, you can also make the following points:
- Buy a high-capacity battery that accurately guarantees a long battery life. Such batteries are usually thicker than the original ones, and an additional back cover is included with them, which makes the gadget's weight larger and its size larger.
- There is a purchase option and a battery case. The disadvantages of this and the previous paragraphs are that they are not possible for all devices.
- You can purchase portable charging, as it is also called an external battery. It allows, if the telephone battery sits down, connect it to it and charge it again. It itself is usually charged from a wall outlet. Portable charging is high-capacity, so a sudden shutdown of the device does not threaten.
- Buying just an extra battery is another effective alternative. When one is discharged, it can simply be replaced with a spare one, especially if the battery on the Android is quickly discharged.
