Like any other manufacturer, Realme phones can also experience battery problems . We must bear in mind that we are dealing with one of the most sensitive elements of our device, and that it can be affected by innumerable factors that drain its performance. Let’s take a look at the most common possible solutions.
It is not difficult for battery problems to start to appear, even if the phone is short on time. In the case of Realme, the firm landed on our market in late 2019, so it may seem less likely that these issues will start to surface as soon. However, remember that batteries have only a 6-month warranty, precisely because all manufacturers know that they can start to give problems at any time and their useful life is highly dependent on the management of the battery user.
To solve the problems
The mobile tells you
The first step is to use the tools that realme integrates to find problems on our mobile. The “Manager” app, which is integrated into the company’s mobiles, allows detecting hardware problems that may be taking place. Therefore, if the battery is short-lived or has charging problems, they can be detected with this tool. For this we will have to enter the app and select “Battery and charge” in the system testing options. In the event of errors, the mobile propo will be in charge of solving them or offering us advice so that we ourselves can make the battery perform correctly.
Limit application startup
When we have installed dozens of apps, it is possible that one or several of them are literally eating up the battery with its running in the background or starting at the beginning of the system. We can limit this auto-start from the Manager of the phone and clicking on Permissions / Start Apps. Then just select the app you want to limit.
Open energy saving
If the battery does not last as long as it should, it could be due to a problem or that the terminal does not over do itself in supporting the work load that we subject it. In this case, the best check to see if performance improves is to turn on power saving. To do this we go to Adjustment / Battery / Energy saving and activate it. Then it is convenient to restart the mobile and charge it up to 100%. Then it is convenient to use it long enough to check if the problem has disappeared.
Update your mobile
Realme itself recommends keeping our mobiles updated at all times. Leaving an update pending to download or install is an error that can affect the battery. Many of the realme mobiles have been updated through patches or even the new realme UI layer. Doing so fixes many known bugs including those related to the battery. To check that we do not have any pending updates, we go to Settings / System / System Updates.
Clear app cache
Removing applications that are running in the background, as well as clearing the cache from them regularly, is a good way for the battery to work properly. To clear the cache, we will have to go to Settings / Additional Settings / Storage / Clear storage / Clear all. In this way, we can clean the corrupt processes and files of any software that has been interfering with the good performance of the battery.
Installed camera app
Realme itself recommends being careful with third-party camera apps that we have installed. It is likely that many of the battery problems are due to the resources consumed by these types of apps, capable of blocking the device and contributing to excessive energy consumption by not being optimized for a specific mobile. To check it we must go to Settings / Application Administration / Show system processes. At that time we will have to check if we have third-party camera apps. If so, we must delete them, restart the phone and check if the battery performance is correct again.
What charger are you using?
Be very careful at this point. The realme mobiles must be used with their original accessories, which includes the adapter and charging cable. Most of the deterioration of the battery is due to improper use of third-party chargers, which drain the battery and reduce its useful life. If you have lost, or your original charger has been broken, it is possible that you are charging the mobile with some other charger that you had in the drawer. The recommendation is to do it again with an original charger, since in this way the battery will return to perform again in its charging process and duration.
Rooted mobile
With root permissions enabled, the system firmware package will not be verified by realme. This means that the process of protecting the power consumption will not be valid by the third party software or it will not work correctly. This means that the energy consumption will increase. In order for our battery to function properly, it is therefore recommended to use the official firmware and not root the device.
Can we do more?
If your battery continues to give problems after trying the above solutions, it may have deteriorated and needs review by a specialist technician. However, before making an appointment with the Realme Technical Service, it is advisable to take a look at the following recommendations made by the brand itself, and which we must take into account before giving the solution for loss.
- Use the phone in a temperature of 0 ° C to 35 ° C and do not use it while charging.
- Change outlets to discharge other than plug problem.
- Charge the battery at 100% power, allow it to discharge at 0%, and repeat the process again.
- Turn off GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and auto sync when not in use.
- Activates automatic brightness adjustment and marks the duration of the screen on in less than 30 seconds.
- Use the phone in good coverage conditions.
