You may be reading this right now because you have realized that your mobile battery lasts much less than before, or less than it should, even when you have a smartphone that boasts autonomy.
Even if it worked well for you very recently, or precisely because it has never done so, it is necessary to discover where the problem lies. For this reason, I will tell you where I have found what happened to the battery of my mobile whenever it lasted very little.
Obviously, you can suspect something if you have installed a new application, if you have recently updated your operating system or if you have been using your mobile for a large number of years. In any case, it is best to check for sure why it happens.
How to find out what it is due to?
In order to discover why your battery lasts so little, it is interesting that you know what is really consuming it. The best way is to do it from the mobile’s own settings.
In each model the steps that are taken may vary a little, but in any case it is usually in the battery section. You will have to look for the applications that consume it the most and analyze the data. The truth is that it is very intuitive and you will easily reach the data you need.
What have I done on my Android mobile?
- I have gone to the settings of my mobile (in this case a Xiaomi)
- I have looked for the Battery section
- I have gone down in the options of the Battery saving section until I reach a list of apps
- There you can see what consumes more
- I began to analyze the apps that I could do without or even optimize the app settings by activating the power saving mode
- As an extra, I have given it to solve battery usage problems , where it indicated that I could close certain applications that drain the battery and it tells me how much I save (see if you have this option on your mobile)
Although the steps may vary slightly, or be the same, it is important that you take advantage of the resources of your mobile so that your battery lasts longer and discover which are the ‘energy thieves’ to make good decisions. These can be uninstalling the app, activating energy saving, making app adjustments for lower consumption, etc.

- You can see the information of the last 24 hours or 10 days
- If you want to know how long an app was used on the screen or in the background, you should click Show activity
