Many users complain about the rapid discharge of their mobile phone.

It is emphasized that the battery charge level drops quite quickly even during periods when the smartphone is not in use and its screen is off.

Why does the gadget discharge so quickly not only during active use, but also in “idle” mode?

There are several possible explanations for this unpleasant phenomenon.

Battery problems

Perhaps the battery is not in the best condition. It is possible that its capacity has dropped significantly. That is why the battery does not "hold" the charge well.

It may also be that the battery is physically damaged.

In both cases, there is only one way out - replacing the battery.

Temperature changes

Smartphones do not respond well to either extremely low or extremely high temperatures.

Try not to use your mobile phone in cold weather and do not leave the device on hot surfaces.

All wireless technologies are enabled

It is possible that the battery drains quickly due to the simultaneous operation of Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi.

Don't put too much strain on your mobile phone: disable the above functions immediately after you finish using them.

Viruses

It is possible that the gadget quickly discharges due to malware.

Don't forget to use a reliable antivirus.

Background Applications Functioning

Running a large number of programs in the background can also contribute to the rapid discharge of the battery.

Don't forget to remove unnecessary and superfluous applications.
