Mobile Problems

Phone not charging

Now this is one problem i experienced with my galaxy nexus. You plugin as always, only this time both the charger and phone get really hot and the battery is not charging. A lot of people have had this problem with phones that charge with micro usb cables. If this happens to you and your phone is still on warranty, take it for repair but if you are interested in attempting to fix things like me( i must add daring too) troubleshooting is the way to go. Find out if its your battery, cable/plug in charger or if its the phone itself.

• Try charging a different battery with your phone
• Try a different charger with your phone
• Try a different power outlet or use your computer

If this doesn’t work, you need to seek some technical help because its a phone problem. Either a software problem or internal hardware problem especially if the thunder bolt is showing on the battery icon but the battery settings say it is not charging. I took it a notch higher with my phone since all the troubleshooting above didn’t seem to work. One last attempt after reading some phone forums was to lift the female micro usb tongue(gently) such that it makes good contact with the male plug. This idea seemed to work for people with the same problem so i gave it a shot and it worked for a while. Lets just say that wasn’t the problem with my phone, at this point it was time for me to make use of my warranty, thank God for warranty.

Different companies offer product service and sometimes you can find a lot of help in the faq support or troubleshooting pages.

Battery wearing out

This is a common song sung about all models of smartphones, truth is with more features and processing power, you need more power. The battery is becoming more and more less sufficient to meet the ever increasing needs of these phones. According to fixya a study was done on some of the most common smartphones and battery life cut across all the phone models as the most popular problem. This report was done with 25 million users, 650000 experts and 15 million product problems and solutions. It includes some of the common problems popular smartphone models have and how they can be fixed.

Solution

If your phone battery starts to need charge every 2-3 hours with regular usage, its time to buy another battery. If your battery works fine and you just need it to push through a typical work day or you want it to last you till you upgrade your phone,then here are some simple solutions you already know:

• Turn down screen brightness
• Closing all the apps you are not using
• Turning off the extra things like wifi and bluetooth when not in use
• If you need to listen to music whole day everyday, get an mp3 player
• Not using your phone beyond certain battery percentage (15-20%)

Even with knowledge of these simple solutions we are still reluctant to follow through. Blame it on laziness or just the thought that if the app is closed you are missing out on something. This is something we need to consciously put into practice to maximize our time with these gadgets – a personal discipline.
