The battery of our mobile is such an important element that if it starts to fail it can lead us to despair. It is useless to have a mobile if the battery lasts very little or if we have problems to charge it properly. The causes can be very varied, as it happens in LG mobiles. But luckily we have several solutions at our disposal so that everything returns to normal.
Most manufacturers, and LG is included among them, offer us some tools to diagnose if there is a problem with the battery and other hardware of the device. Therefore and whatever the problem you have, the first thing may be to go through the LG Diagnosis with the Smart Doctor application that integrates natively.
Battery diagnosis
Once inside this tool, we will touch on diagnosis. The terminal will begin to analyze various elements of the device including the battery . If at the end of the test you find any problem, we will be offered tips to correct them.
The battery does not charge in my LG
We may be facing the most serious and most frustrating problem of all. The most serious because if it is not resolved in a reasonable period, the mobile can be turned off and we will be held incommunicado, and frustrating when we do not find the cause that is causing it.
Can be cable or charger
If the mobile does not charge, the first thing to check is both the charging cable and the adapter of our mobile. The solution is to alternate, changing the cable first, and then the charger or trying a completely different set of cable and charger. In the same way and to make sure of everything, we will have to change the load socket or change the position if we are using a power strip with several sockets. At this point, it should be remembered again that we must use the original brand charger, to ensure the best performance and avoid this type of problem.
Damaged USB port
It is very common that due to continued use and even more if our mobile has some time, that the internal component of the charging port has been able to move and the contact does not occur correctly. The effective solution on some occasions is to introduce a fine element such as a pin through the USB port, to try to straighten it again but never forcing the piece. When it is already on your site we will try to load it again to see if the problem has disappeared.
Battery information
If the terminal does not charge but we still have enough battery before it turns off, it is best to install some specialized application for information about our battery. There are many on Google Play, but Accubattery is the most popular to know everything about our battery. It offers specific information about the health or wear associated with the apps. It also offers real-time information while it is plugged into the power, so we will see the intensity of the load or the amperage. In this way we can know for sure if there is any current or if the load is totally dead.
Guilty applications
It is very possible that an application is interfering with the correct loading process and may even cause it not to load. Generally it can be due to malicious apps or the poor compatibility of some software with our LG. In any case, we must enter the battery settings and check if any app is consuming too many milliamps . If so, we will have to delete it immediately. In addition, we can turn off the phone and put it to shit again. In case it loads correctly, we will know for sure that the problem is from an app.
It downloads very fast
In this case the charging problems do not exist, but the battery does not last as long as it should . There are also several possible causes to this problem in many cases they fix the problem. If our mobile is a few years old, we must also consider the possibility that we have exhausted the useful charging cycles and the deterioration of the battery is the law of life.
Calibrate the battery
It is one of the most effective solutions to try to return the battery life to normal . The method of calibrating the battery is to turn off the phone to shut down all active processes in the system. Then we turn it on again and proceed to charge the mobile to 100% of its capacity. Then we will have to leave it connected for one more hour. When we finish we should notice an improvement in its performance, not downloading so fast.
Adaptive battery
We are facing one of the best options that has come to Android in recent years. In LG mobiles from Android 9 Pie we find it available in the battery settings. In this way, the terminal will be able to limit the applications that it does not use frequently, limiting its consumption of resources in the background. In other words, the mobile will learn from our use in order to always prioritize the best autonomy in the post. In a short time we should note that the battery does not drain so quickly.
Limited network search
That we are in one with poor coverage, is usually the cause of the battery draining quickly. The terminal will work to constantly search for the best network and that requires more energy from the account. To avoid it we will have to go to the network settings, entering Settings / Connections / SIM cards / Network mode. Once inside, we touch on the network mode and select on 3G or 4G. In this way we deactivate the automatic network search mode and the battery will not drain as quickly.
Use the Savings Modes
LG mobiles also have their own saving modes. It’s the best way to keep your battery from draining too quickly, as they can keep many apps and unnecessary power costs at bay. In this case we have the Extended mode and the Maximum mode . Keep in mind that maximum savings can limit the arrival of notifications and prohibit background access for most apps. We can modify these limitations from Settings / Battery / Battery saving exclusions.
Other tricks to save battery
In addition, we can put other habitual practices so that autonomy is stretched even more . These practices should be present no matter what mobile we have, but of course they work for LG’s.
- Turn off the device screen whenever it is not used by pressing the side key.
- Close all unnecessary applications.
- Turn off Bluetooth, GPS, or NFC when not in use.
- Turn off automatic syncing of apps
- Lower the brightness of the screen.
My LG’s battery gets too hot
We are facing a problem that if not resolved immediately, can cause damage to the device, the battery itself or in the worst case to ourselves. A battery that heats up moderately is normal, but if we notice excessive heat we will have to look for the cause and fix it.
Carry it with head
Do not use the mobile while it is charging. It is the recommendation that all manufacturers make and LG was not going to be an exception. If in addition, while we charge the mobile we play a game of great graphic demand, it is very likely that it is the cause of the heat. We must close all apps, disconnect the mobile from the load and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
Always original elements
It is very important to use only original LG chargers, batteries and cables. Using an unapproved adapter or cables may cause performance problems, failures, or damage that is not covered by the warranty. We know very well that batteries are one of the most sensitive elements of our mobile and that their guarantee is much less than that of the rest of the device.
Try to restart
If by restarting the mobile and restarting the problem has disappeared. In many cases, an app can get stuck and consume resources excessively in the background . If Android is not able to finish the process, it is very normal that our mobile phone begins to heat up. The solution is to restart the device and start it again.
