What would you do (1 Viewer)

So I finally paid off my phone. Everything about it works except the fact that the battery drains ridiculously quickly. Depending on the app I use, it almost dies within 3-5 hours which is super inconvenient to someone who uses their phone constantly (including for work).

So would you just put up with it or would you cave and buy a new one?

 

[dooh]

you need a new one with a large battery, 4500-5000mAh... charging

Warranty?

First of al make certian all your apps are closed. Most phones you hold an icon and have an option to "put to sleep". For Iphones google it. That actually completely shuts off the app from draining your battery. Contrary to belief just closing an app doesn't always completely shut it off. Pokemon Go is one huge violate of this.

Step two: Let your phone completely die, then completely recharge it before use.

Step three: When these fail just get a new phone

Warranty?

I've had it for 2 years so I don't think the warranty goes that long

glad to see you back missed you

Can you change only the battery for it? I know almost all the phones recently have non-removable battery which kinda sucks.

I hate spending money so I would just deal with it, but if It's a real hassle for you then I would buy a new one.

Yeah mine is one of those annoying ones where you can't remove the back

Do you have Wifi, Mobile Data or Location always turned on? Some co-workers do but I feel like it drains my battery if I do it so I just enable them when necessary.

[melancholia]

I had that trouble when i had a s3 mini

Changed to a LG and only changed again because my G4 fell in the sea, rip

Newest samsungs have better battery than that antiquity though
