10 Reasons Why Your Smartphone May Be Charging Slowly And Possible Fixes by djayflex: 5:39pm On Sep 21, 2016 |
No one likes having a low battery on his/her device especially if your device charges very slowly.. You might purchase a new charger and discover that your previous charger works faster than the new one. I'll explain why this happens. Below are reasons Why Your Smartphone may be Charging Slowly 1 Low Capacity or Bad Adapters It's quiet unfortunate that many people are unaware of the fact that Mobile phone Adapters have different capacities.. If you want your device to charge very well. I recommend you use an Adapter that has a capacity of 2 amperes. An Ampere is the amount of electric current flowing in an electric conductor How To Determine The Capacity Of An Adapter In most Mobile Phone chargers the Output is 5v (5 volts) . So on your charger you'll likely see something like - " Output: 5v =" . After the = symbol, you'll see the number of Amperes for your adapter . The best and recommended adapter is one with this Label -( Output:5v = 2.0A). Make sure it's 2 A or above before purchasing. Also note that if your phone charges slowly with your powerbank it could be because of the same problem. Check the number of Amperes typed on the label of the power bank 2. Weak Or Damaged USB Cord Basically a USB cable is used for Charging and also transferring data so when you cut it open( ps- don't cut a working USB cable), You'll see a wire and also some fibres. The fibres serve as the data transmission material while the wires are for charging. Many people normally weaken their USB cables by constant twisting, stretching and turning. Avoid doing this to your USB cable . You can also check for cuts on your USB cable 3.Turning On Your Data While Charging If you forget to turn off your data while charging, it will definitely reduce charging time. It's identical to pouring water into a s leaking bucket. Once your device is regaining power /charging, the data connection uses up a lot of battery power so it acts as a leak where your device looses power from. Invariably, it will take a device longer to get to 100% when data connection is turned on. 4.Charging Your Smartphone with your Pc If you’re using your PC to charge your phone, then expect that your phone is going to charge very slowly. Even with USB 3.0, the standard energy output is only 0.9A (0.5mA for USB 2.0). And that’s under normal circumstances; any damage to your USB cable or ports can knock that small flow of energy to even a lower amount . Likewise, if you’re using wireless charging, for example on the Samsung Galaxy S7 you’re going to get a pretty glacial charge as well. I'm not saying that wireless charging isn’t cool – it certainly is – but we’re kind of jamming our heads against the laws of physics and safety at this point . To cut a Long story short, it’s just plain faster to plug your phone in 5. Your Battery is Damaged or Bad There have been many instances of mobile phone manufacturers recalling for whole batches of batteries. Search online to see if your phone’s model came with a bad battery, and see if you can acquire a replacement from your provider. Also, like your phone in general, batteries can just get old and bad. If you happen to own a device such as the Infinix Note , Tecno P5 or Galaxy Note 4 , good news! If your battery has gone bad, you can purchase a new one from Konga or Jumia and pop it into your phone right away when it’s delivered. If you own a device with a non-removable battery such as the Galaxy S7, Tecno W4 , or , Galaxy S6 though, you’ll have to send the device in to the manufacturer to get it replaced. 6 You're The Cause Of Your Problem Do you habitually play with your phone while it’s charging? A surprising number of smartphone users aren’t aware that the fact that the biggest drain on their phone’s battery is the screen. Keeping that gorgeous display lit up with high-resolution Facebook drama will use up battery even as your phone soaks it up. If you combine this with one of the other problems above, you might find yourself in a situation where you are using battery power faster than your phone can take it in. If you need your phone to charge quickly, give it a rest while it’s on the charger. 7.Background Apps Are Killing Your Battery Although your screen is the number one battery sucker, you might have some sneaky apps running in the background that are constantly draining power, causing your phone to charge slower. In addition to charging sluggishly, does your phone also feel like it runs through its battery life faster than it used to? If so, this may be your issue. Apps in Android often boot themselves up or run in the background after only being opened for a moment. Although this used to be a bigger problem than it currently is–Android is getting better and better at efficiently managing resources–having a rogue app or two can give your phone’s performance a nasty hit. The easiest solution here is to grab a good task manager and check it frequently to see what’s running when it shouldn’t be. When you locate a misbehaving app, try uninstalling it and see if your battery life and charge speed is improved over the next few days.
