Mobile phones do not stop reaching the market, although nevertheless we can be one of those who keep our old Huawei as the first day . Taking care of the mobile we can make it last a long time. Among some of the most mythical we find the Huawei P10, a smartphone that was presented more than 3 years ago and today can continue to perform at its best if we know how.
It is true that technology evolves by leaps and bounds and we may have certain shortcomings in our old mobiles, but there are always certain utilities that fit in with our old Huawei mobile . For this reason we are going to show you all the steps to follow in Huawei to give it a new opportunity and continue to take advantage of our investment even years later.
Battery drains very fast
If there is something that does not happen in vain for mobile phones it is the degradation of the batteries . With use they lose efficiency and it is normal that after many years it is no longer able to perform at the same level. In order to continue taking advantage of it, we have some options that can be useful to us so we do not have to be forced to change mobile.
Optimize the battery in an old Huawei
With the intention that the battery of an old Huawei mobile last longer , what we have to do is go into Settings> Battery and activate the battery saving always. Since the mobile itself does not have the capacity to perform as it should, this help will be the best solution. But we can also help you by entering the application start and limiting all the apps that are not a priority. This however will not allow us to receive notifications or alerts.
Analyze the battery and change it
The battery problem has another solution in old mobiles, which begins by accessing Support, previously called HiCare and possibly in our smartphone. Inside we will go to the intelligent diagnosis section, where we will analyze the battery and the rest of the components. At the end, it will give us the results about its status and it will make it easier for us to contact Huawei technical service in the application itself to replace the battery if necessary.
Insufficient space and slow mobile
One of the failures that can cause more access problems to an old Huawei mobile can be in memory and slowness. These two sections go very closely together, since the less space we have available, the more it will cost our mobile to keep up with us. Luckily we have many ways to fix memory problems in Huawei, which we must put into practice.
Delete large and unnecessary files
With the help of EMUI functions we will be able to erase countless files that we do not need, such as file packages or duplicates. These are the heaviest and the cause in most cases that the mobile is suffering problems. To use it we just have to go into Settings> Storage and select the clean option. We can also touch at the top and find out what takes up so much and delete it manually.
Take advantage of Google services to improve your Huawei
Since our pre-veto Huawei phones in the United States can enjoy the advantages of Google and its services, we will take advantage of them to improve performance. We can do this in several ways with the many apps that they offer us. Among them we find, for example, that of cleaning the cache with the help of artificial intelligence, called Files by Google .
But we are also going to be able to further expand the possibilities of our memory with the help of the Go applications, which are thinking of using basic mobiles. Among them we will find on Google Play: YouTube Go, Google Maps Go and even Gmail Go.
Completely clean the mobile with a hard reset
Faced with these problems and others that may arise, the most advanced and complete solution to fix old Huawei phones is the hard reset. This consists of erasing absolutely everything we have on our mobile and leaving it as the first day. With this we will lose the files and therefore we have to remove them before. To do so we only have to do the following:
- We turn off our Huawei mobile.
- Then we press the power buttons and volume up until the Android logo appears.
- Next we choose the Recovery option.
- With the help of the volume up and down keys we will move through the options and accept with the power button.
- We go to “Wipe data / Factory reset” and confirm it.
After a few minutes our mobile will turn on completely clean and we will be able to use it again, taking advantage of it for longer than we have already done.
