Top 10 Reasons Your Phone Battery Dies So Quickly by fabinfos(f): 2:41pm On Apr 23, 2018
@KikioTolu

Checkout the list below;

Your phone screen brightness is set too high. This is one thing that consumes your battery power. When your phone screen brightness is set high, then don’t expect your battery to last too long.

Your phone is on 4G network. 4G consumes more data than 2G and 3G, so also does 3G consume more data than 2G. The thing is, if you are not doing any heavy download or streaming, turnoff your 4G network and switch to a less battery consuming 3G network.

Your software isn’t up-to-date. It is possible that there is a bug in your software that is making it drain your battery, and the programmers have improved on it. You’d need to upgrade to the latest version.

Your phone has hardware issues. Yes, hardware issues can lead to your phone going dead real quick. Getting a professional opinion on things is a good step to take.

Apps and data are automatically syncing. When you are automatically syncing your photos, videos, apps, music, and app data, then your phone battery is likely to go off faster.

Using battery savers. I don’t like this apps, and neither should you. They claim to save your battery, but in the end keep running in the background and consume a lot of power.

Using resource intensive apps. When you are making use of resource intensive apps like games then your battery is most likely to die quickly. So if you fall into that circle of game addicts, just get yourself ready to charge your phone.

You’re overdoing it with battery-draining apps and activities. Some battery draining apps are really good, and we can barely do without them, but when you are using them too frequently, then your phone battery is likely to go off quick. Google Maps for instance is a well known battery draining app.

Background apps. This is a top suspect, and you need to be on the look out for apps that are not useful but keep running in the background. To do this, you don’t need to install a battery saver app, but simply use your device apps manager.

Notifications. Yes, when your notifications keep going off all day, you are likely to lose power soon. Notification sounds, screen wake up, and led lights are activities that consume battery, so look into them.

All this Phone professionals again.

If your phone is running the battery down, so often.
First check is to know if your battery is healthy. Are you charging with the right Charger and cord. Is your voltage too low or too high, if you are on gen set what is the frequency.
Most cheap chargers are not smart and might give you a full battery indication, but poor really weak stored current.
Also you might have a hardware fault mostly along the charging line draining your current.
If all this are done, it is normal for phones to run down under heavy to moderate usage based on the mAh rating of your battery.

If you don't want your phone running down, simply don't use it.
Your smart phone is a machine that draws power when on and the number one culprit is screen brightness, followed by CPU during heavy gaming, vibration and speaker.
Sync this days draws minimal power.

So my dear, while you are right in some, this days most of what you listed are not culprits.

Let my battery die is it your battery?

If you get a better battery savers you would love it, you can try PURIFY battery saver and thank me later.

It was when I upgraded from 4.4 KitKat to 5.1 Lolipop that my battery became a nightmare. But thank God for purify in my life I can smile again.

11. Using a fake, incompatible or damaged charger to charge.

12. Charging from low/fluctuating current devices (I beta pass my neighbor gen)

I believe science people will understand these.

Your point 2 is not entirely true. 3g consumes battery more than 4g. 2g is the most battery efficient. This is a fact i experience with mtn on my redmi note 4x. I also read somewhere online that though 4g consumes more battery, all things being equal, the constant search for 3g network drains more battery. I. E if 4g is more stable than 3g, the 3g battery will burn out faster than the 4g phone. This is true for mtn and my redmi note 4x.
