Sometimes, after purchasing a new mobile device, users begin to criticize the manufacturer for its poor battery quality. The main criticism is that the battery drains quickly.
Unfortunately, this is typical of many mobile phones, especially those assembled in China. When counterfeiting products that look like popular Western phones, the Chinese intentionally equip them with cheap and weak batteries to lower the price and improve sales.
Unfortunately, there's almost nothing you can do to fix this situation. But if you carefully analyze the problem, you can sometimes find ways to improve battery performance. Let's try.
First of all, pay close attention to which phone features you use most often. Only leave those enabled that you absolutely need. There's no need to keep everything else running, as they'll drain your battery. Consider the battery capacity when purchasing.
If you are sure that no one will call you in the next few hours and that you will not be needed for anything, then what is the point of keeping your phone on?
It's important to remember that vibrating calls consume the most battery power. For this reason, using the regular call mode is preferable.
If it's important to keep your phone on standby at all times and you can't recharge it in the next few hours, avoid listening to music or playing games. Watching videos will drain your smartphone's battery very quickly.
Factory settings usually don't take battery conservation into account. After reading the manual, reduce the ringer volume, display brightness, and backlight time during calls. This won't significantly impact the phone's usability, but it will allow it to last significantly longer after charging.
Remember that 3G networks process information using completely different principles than 2G networks. For this reason, 3G mode drains your phone's battery much faster than 2G mode. If you know there's no 3G mode in your area, there's no point in purchasing 3G data, as it will still function as 2G, but at a cost to your battery.
Mobile phone batteries quickly lose capacity in cold weather. Keep them in a warm place if possible. If you've just come in from outside, let the battery warm up to room temperature before charging.
It's highly undesirable to leave the battery charging for too long. It will overheat and shorten its lifespan.
Avoid allowing the battery to discharge deeply—to the point where the mobile device shuts down on its own. If this type of battery use is repeated over and over again, it will simply stop charging soon.
Quite often, in emergency situations (like when you need to make an urgent call and the battery is almost dead), users resort to physical force on the battery. They tap it against something to “revive” it. It might recharge for a couple of minutes, but then, after a few dozen charge-discharge cycles, it stops working.
The battery is the heart of your mobile phone. Don't forget about it. And with proper care, it will reward you with better and longer battery life.
