Among the problems that we can find in our Xiaomi mobile, those of the battery are possibly the most common. And they are because there are many factors that can come into play, such as the user’s own use of the mobile, which can affect its performance. Let’s go over the most common battery related problems and possible solutions.
Sometimes the problems of our Xiaomi mobile can affect a specific model, but those related to the battery, usually have a common cause, so they are applicable to most mobile phones from the Chinese firm. To speak of problems with the battery is to speak of a large number of variables regarding the problem in question, with its many possible associated solutions. Let’s go through them one by one.
The mobile does not charge
Check the USB port
It is possible that the USB port is dirty or damaged , which are the two main reasons why the mobile can stop charging. In many cases, a loud blow from the charging port can fix the problem. Likewise, we can apply an air source to try to remove the dirt.
However, it is common that due to continued use, the internal component has moved and the contact does not occur correctly. In this case it works to introduce a fine element such as a pin through the USB port to try to straighten it. When we think it is already on your site we will try to load it again to see if the problem has disappeared.
Cable or adapter problem
Although we think that nothing new can break, the next thing we will have to do is check both the USB cable and the power adapter. We will have to try to change the cable and try the load again. If it does not work we will have to find another adapter and connect it to check if it loads. Likewise, it should be remembered that we must use the original brand charger, to ensure the best performance.
Guilty software
It is also possible that the problem, although less likely, could be derived from software that is interrupting the loading process. In this case we must go to settings to review the battery consumption of the device. If there is an app that is consuming so much battery that the phone does not charge, we must eliminate it immediately. Another way to find out is to check if the terminal charges when it is off, but it does not when it is on.
Check battery status
If the terminal does not charge but we still have a few “milliamps”, it will be best to install a third-party app to offer us information about the battery. Accubattery is one of the best, as it offers accurate information about the battery, such as its health, or the wear and tear associated with the apps. We will be able to see if there are anomalies and solve them if necessary.
It downloads very fast
Optimize consumption
It is the best method of saving battery and allowing our mobile to not discharge so quickly. For this we will have to go to the Additional Settings / Authorization and Revocation menu and deactivate the Xiaomi Service Framework. Then we return to the menu of Additional settings / Privacy / Special access to applications and check the option “Battery optimization”. Inside locate Xiaomi Services Framework and select “Optimize”
Check the apps
It is very likely that the problem comes from an app that is draining the battery. To check it we will have to go to Settings / Battery and performance and click on ” Energy use” . Now, inside the “Applications” screen we can see which ones appear in the first positions . If any one is generating an abnormal energy expenditure, we will have to try to delete it, or if it is a fundamental app for us, check that it is updated.
We can also try to clear the cache or storage of the app in question to see if the problem is solved. To do this, click on “Storage” within each app and click on “Clear Cache” or “Clear storage”.
Battery calibration
It is one of the most classic solutions and it still offers the best result. To carry out this remedy, we will have to press the power button and turn off the phone. When it turns on again we must charge it with the original charger to 100% of its capacity. Once done, we will have to leave it connected for at least an additional hour. After doing so, we will notice an improvement in its performance and possibly download less quickly. It is advisable to flee from the applications that promise to calibrate the battery in a magical way, since the best method is the manual that we just told you.
Network Search
It is one of the causes that causes the battery to drain too quickly and may affect its future performance. Many people are in areas where the stability of the mobile network is not adequate. For this reason, the mobile must be continuously alternating between different networks, with the consequent energy expenditure that this implies.
The solution is to order our Xiaomi to only switch between 3G and 4G networks. To do this, we go to the telephone dialing and press * # * # 4636 # * # *. Once done, click on the first option that appears, called “Information on phone 1”. Once done we select the option “LTE-WCDMA”. This simple adjustment should solve the problem of spending so fast that we are experimenting with the battery.
It gets too hot
Temperature is one of the causes that can affect battery performance and cause problems. Sometimes both the mobile and the charger can get too hot. It is normal, especially when using fast charging or wireless charging, but also in mobiles that do not have this technology.
When this occurs, the battery may irreparably stop charging or even lose efficiency. It is common when exposed to direct sunlight or when it has been used while charging for a long time.
Be careful when loading
If we are using a wireless charger, we must make sure not to place objects such as magnetic stripe cards, magnets or metallic objects between the device and the wireless charger. In the same way, if we use classic charging, we will have to avoid doing it while using the mobile, especially with games or multimedia content, since the temperature will increase rapidly, potentially damaging the battery.
Battery, charger and original cable
It is very important to use only original Xiaomi chargers, batteries and cables . Using an unapproved adapter or cables may cause performance problems, failures, or damage that is not covered by the warranty. It should be borne in mind 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.
Restart the mobile
If when restarting the mobile and restarting the problem has disappeared, it is possible that some application has been left in the background, consuming a huge amount of resources, without MIUI being able to stop it. Restarting the mobile can force its closure and get everything back to normal.
