Method #6: Toggle connectivity services
Well, it is no doubt that many of us don’t even care if the location or GPS is turned on even when not needed or you forgot to enable wifi when somewhere out. But all this can add to the battery draining problems that we are trying to curb here and thus, you must turn them off when not in use. It includes wifi, NFC, Bluetooth, location, etc.
Method #7: Steer away from cache files
Another infuriating factor behind any issue on a phone is cache files that are created by the system automatically and stored. These files help retrieve an app faster than before, however, they add to the trouble that you are already facing on your device. So, here you need to clear any type of cache files from the system and basically, there are four methods to do it. Firstly, add third-party cache files cleaning apps such as Avast Clean Up or CCleaner and run it through to purge all types of cache files. Next, go to Settings and open Apps, slide into the Downloaded section and tap on ‘Clear Cache’ button on tapping each app individually. Secondly, you need to clear storage cache which is comparatively easier as you need to proceed to Settings >> Storage >> Cache Memory to clear up.
The last method revolves around the recovery mode that you can access using a specific procedure listed below.
- The first step is to turn off the phone.
- Now, press volume up plus power button to turn on the device in recovery mode.
- You need to keep the buttons pressed until an Android logo appears on the screen and then, release it.
- Here, volume rockers work as navigational keys and power button act as a selection key since you won’t be able to tap on the touch screen to get things done.
- You need to select ‘wipe cache partition’ and then, confirm by adding ‘yes’ to purge cache partition.
Method #8: Various things you could do to improve battery life
There are plenty of things you can do and settings you can alter to grab a higher battery life than usual. Firstly, lower the ringtone for both messages and calls if needed. Adjust brightness as explained above. Use the phone in short burst to curb faster battery draining problems. Don’t snooze alarms which will act as a remedy for both the phonetic problem and you oversleeping problem as well. Set scheduled On/Off that will turn off the phone in the night or as you adjust it and turn on at the given time thus, saving a lot of battery that would otherwise be lost to keep the phone awake. Turn on airplane mode when the network is not expected such as traveling. Call someone only when the bars on the network icon on status bar are higher because a poor network would mean the phone will use up higher battery life to compensate.
Method #9: Scrutinize the battery
Well, we have been looking at the software aspect of the device a lot lately. But you forgot that battery is a hardware component and a lot could go wrong physically as well. Firstly, you need to scrutinize why the battery is draining faster than earlier. As explained, it could be due to overuse which you can limit to check if battery performs poorly or not. If yes, it is possible that the battery is running towards the end of its lifecycle which is a case in Lithium-Ion or Lithium-Polymer batteries that they have specific lifecycle after which, they tend to cease in performance and eventually, stop working.
You can check if the battery is draining faster than it is a charger which is a sign of battery damage or ceases as well. For this, connect the phone to a charger, install an app called Amperage and check for both inlet and outlet current to check which one is higher. Basically, the inlet must be higher than the outlet. If not, turn towards a service center and get the battery replaced or juiced up if plausible.
Method #10: Hard reset
If you are still finding a way out of this Koolnee problem, you might think hard reset as a plausible option if it’s a software created issue. You’ll need to obtain a backup of all data beforehand and then, proceed with the procedure to enable recovery mode that you have already seen under ‘wipe cache partition’ section aforementioned. But instead of clearing cache partition, select ‘wipe data/factory reset’ to complete the said procedure.
Method #11: The final resort
Are you dealing with the Koolnee battery draining problems for a while now? Still can’t figure out what’s triggering it and how to fix it? Is it the battery or the way you use or charge the phone? There are a lot of questions that only a professional could answer after analyzing the fault in the device triggering the issue in the first place. Thus, you need to report the issue to a nearby service center but GDT would strongly recommend an authorized one. Hope you’ll get the issue fixed up just like that.
