Question

How do I improve battery life on my phone?

Community Answer

Check your phone's power management application. See which features or apps are using the most power. With this information, you can consider uninstalling apps that are consuming way too much energy. You can also avoid using 3G or 4G, as mobile data uses more energy than Wi-Fi.

How can i identify a fault in mobile phone?

Connectivity is one of those features that should “just work,” so if it doesn't, you may be looking at a faulty phone, a damaged SIM card, or a problem with the network itself. If the issue started suddenly, and not because you altered any settings on your phone, it's likely that your phone isn't to blame.

Try powering it off so the battery will not go out. Keep it safe and be careful with it. Also, keep a nearby charger in case of emergency.

If your device is still running on Android Lollipop, you may need to update Lollipop to Marshmallow 6.0 and then you are allowed to update from Marshmallow to Nougat 7.0 if the update is available for your device.

Always keep it in the same place when you're not using it (such as the nightstand when you're at home and in your back pocket when you're not).
