Important updates are usually full of news, changes and modifications that improve the terminal, but sometimes they end up causing unexpected situations. This happens with the update to EMUI 12, a version that negatively affects the battery of Huawei mobiles.
The Chinese manufacturer is having to do with the criticism that continues to spread among the forums, at the same time that more and more mobiles are affected. The situations are very diverse, but in most cases they agree that the drop in autonomy is drastic with respect to the results obtained before.
Battery gets worse after update
Something that almost everyone who comes across with EMUI 12 agrees on is that the problem with power in Huawei begins with the first update to that version. By accessing the battery information section, we can verify that the consumption has nothing to do with the applications, but that it is the system itself that leaves us without energy very quickly.
Among the comments of those affected, we come across different people who have noticed this drop on their mobile phones on a day-to-day basis without making special efforts. We have been able to find cases in the Huawei Mate 30, Mate 20 Pro, Huawei P30 Pro and the list does not seem to stop there. The rollout of EMUI 12 is not over and there are still smartphones to be updated that could run into this error.
The explanations let us see the opinions of people who have had to charge their phone up to 5 hours before . The decrease in the battery is repeated among all those who have explained their case, reaching around 20% and 30% less than what smartphones with EMUI 11 offered. In other cases, the situation ends up negatively affecting the fast charging, which takes much longer to reach 100%.
there is only one solution
To date, Huawei itself has not given a clear answer that can help us get it resolved immediately and the only thing they have mentioned through the official forum is that they are working to solve the situation . In some cases, security patches have already corrected excessive consumption, while other smartphones continue to suffer.
Despite everything, some have explained that with the passing of days, the battery capacity recovers slightly , at least a part. This means that, as we have seen on other occasions, the update and the system itself needs to stabilize to find the balance.
On the other hand, we can and recommend doing a factory reset, but not without first removing all the files that are valuable to us from the mobile or else we will lose them forever. The only thing to do afterwards is this procedure:
- We access the configuration of the smartphone.
- We go down to the section called System.
- We choose Reset.
- To finally tap on Reset all data.
When turning the phone back on, we will have to configure it completely and we recommend not installing all the apps at once. With this we will ensure that the system and especially the battery assimilates the changes and in this way we will not suffer that great confusion for autonomy again.
However, the moment you receive a new security patch, it is important to install it, as it will correct the situation with the best chance of success.
