Why do mobile phones consume power so quickly? How to make the phone last longer

I believe everyone is familiar with mobile phones. Mobile phones have become an indispensable tool in our lives. Many years ago, mobile phones could only make calls and have some simple multimedia functions. However, today's mobile phones have long been out of this positioning. With the continuous upgrading of mobile phones, various application functions have been born, and people use mobile phones more and more frequently. Not only can they be used in all aspects of life, but also for work, which leads to problems such as insufficient power and "three charges a day" in mobile phones. Even if you buy a new mobile phone, you need to charge it at least once a day.

The battery life of mobile phones has always been a concern for everyone. Poor battery life will seriously affect the user experience. The reason is that on the one hand, the longer the battery is used, the worse the performance will be. On the other hand, there are many "power-consuming beasts" in mobile phones.

For example, the existence of WeChat, a "power-eating beast", has caused mobile phones to consume power faster and faster. At present, almost everyone has WeChat installed on their mobile phones. Its application scenarios are very wide. It can not only make video calls, voice chats, and online payments, but also be used for online meetings. Such an application software that is always in working state can consume 15% more power in one hour.

WeChat consumes a lot of power because it has many programs running. Just like WeChat groups, the more messages there are, the more power it consumes. Not only that, WeChat Sports also consumes the phone's power because WeChat Sports needs to read the user's steps at all times, so the phone's step counting sensor needs to be in place at all times to record, which increases power consumption.

Through observation, it is found that WeChat consumes power the fastest when downloading data. Just like when we chat with friends, we sometimes send some cute or funny emoticons. When these emoticons are displayed, the mobile phone will actively download them through the CPU. Once the CPU consumption reaches a certain level, the power of the mobile phone will change abnormally.

In addition to actively downloading emojis, WeChat also uploads some files to a terminal, which will increase the power consumption of the phone from the initial 10% to the current 8%. Although 2% is only a negligible change, this change exposes many problems. It can be said that the existence of WeChat consumes a lot of power on the phone.

Therefore, in order to extend battery life and reduce power consumption, we should regularly clean up some useless programs, exit some unnecessary groups, and turn off unnecessary functions such as WeChat Sports.

Fast battery consumption is also related to your usual mobile phone settings. You may want to take a look at the following setting tips to make your phone last longer.

1. Turn off automatic brightness adjustment

Many times we don't need to turn the screen brightness to the highest setting. In fact, screen brightness is one of the most power-consuming parts of the huge screen on our mobile phone, so lowering the brightness appropriately can also save a lot of power. Settings - General - Accessibility - Display Adjustment - Automatic Brightness Adjustment (Select Off)

2. Turn off App notifications

The notifications that appear on the lock screen will help users understand all reminders, but this feature consumes a lot of power. If you pay attention to too many apps, the power consumption will be very terrible. At this time, try to turn off all push notifications that you don’t use frequently. Go to "Settings", then "Notifications", click on the relevant app, and selectively turn off or turn off all.

3. Turn off automatic app updates

When connected to Wi-Fi, iPhone can automatically update apps in the background, but this feature also consumes power. Please click Settings-General-Software Update (Off)

4. Turn off the positioning function

Location is a huge power-hungry feature, so unless you are using a map, it is recommended that you turn off all other features. Settings - Privacy - Turn off location.

5. Turn off iCloud

iCloud syncing phone data and photos consumes a lot of power. If you don't need to sync and back up, it is recommended to turn off iCloud. Settings - iCloud - iCloud backup (choose to turn it off)

6. Pay attention to signal strength

I didn't expect this. If your phone is in a place with weak signal, the battery will be consumed very quickly. The best way is to switch to airplane mode to prevent your iPhone from constantly searching for weak signals.

7. Turn off health tracking

The phone will quietly monitor your exercise status in the background and integrate this data with the health app. However, most people rarely use this kind of health integration. If you don't want to use this app and want to save power, you can turn it off by going to Settings-Privacy-Exercise and Health.

8. Turn off Siri function

Siri function This search function will secretly consume the phone's battery in the background. If you don't like to talk to Siri, just turn it off.

9. Don’t use power saving software

Try not to use those so-called power saving software. Their functions are more useless than you think. Not only do they not save power, but they also consume power.

10. Avoid frequent power on/off or restart

When you turn on your phone, it will restart all the hardware, reload all the software, and search for network signals again. So frequent power on and off will also consume a lot of power.

11. Use flight mode flexibly

If you don't need the Internet at night, turn off the Internet and turn on airplane mode. You will find that your phone will save a lot of power.

12. Install less desktop beautification software

The pages of third-party desktop beautification software are indeed beautiful, but they also consume a lot of power. If it is not absolutely necessary, using the native desktop can save power.
