Mobile phones useless when they are not charged. One thing is to buy a phone and another thing is to get it always charged. Also while buying a new phone it is really advisable to go for the one with a very good battery capacity and fast charging technology like Infinix hot note series, Tecno L5, Snokor Rocket and many more new smartphones at the moment. Anyway, you don’t need to worry too much because am going to guide you through to the best way you will charge your phone faster. In this post, you will see some tricks and best procedures to apply while charging your phone to make it faster than before. So let roll it out…come on!
1. USE APPROPRIATE CHARGER RATING
The first thing that should come to your mind while buying a charger for your phone is the rating. It is too funny to notice that even some GSM gadget and accessories sellers don’t even know that chargers are rated to suit a particular phone. I went to one GSM shop last week to get a charger for a phone using 4200mAh battery; so I told the sales guy to give me a 2000mAh capacity android phone charger and the guy comfortably brought a 750mAh tecno charger and when I asked him why he gave me that, he said “it is usb charger naa, that it will charge my phone because my phone also uses usb port to charge” I laughed and told him I know the reason am ordering for a particular capacity of charger. After explaining to him, he was so happy to learn the trick.
Now, it is important to note henceforth that the higher the charger output current rating, the faster the charge. For example, a charger that is rated 1000mAh will charge your phone faster than a charger rated 500mAh. You can use tablet chargers because most of them are rated higher.
2. USE AN ORIGINAL USB CABLE
Do you now that the USB chord you are using might be the cause of your phone not charging faster? Yes, your charger may be fine and suitable for your phone but the USB chord can just spoil everything and slowdown your phone charging rate. Just change your USB chord before considering buying another charger. How do you know an original cable? Though there is no definite description for an original USB cable but I will advise you to go for those ones with flat cable design or the ones that are very tick and strong to feel. Most of them are better than the lighter ones. Please ignore the fancy USB cords with blinking lights.
3. SWITCH ON AIRPLANE MODE WHILE CHARGING
This one is somehow hard for some people to do because switching ON airplane mode automatically leave you offline but it will definitely increase your phone charging speed. It is recommended to do it when you aren’t making use of your network in either making calls or browsing the internet. Putting your phone in airplane mode will disable background data running on your phone.
4. MINIMIZE YOUR PHONE SCREEN BRIGHNESS TO THE LOWEST
Do you know that your phone screen light is one of the top consumers of power and battery life in your phone? The truth is that when you charge your phone when the brightness is high, the screen will be sucking the power collected from your charging system thereby sharing and struggling with your battery. This is why your phone gets hotter whenever the screen brightness is higher.
5. DON’T PLAY GAMES OR USE THE INTERNET WHILE CHARGING
Browsing or playing games while charging your phone will definitely decrease the charging time so try to endure these two things if you really want to charge faster.
6. SWITCH ON YOUR PHONE BATTERY SAVER
Many smartphones nowadays come with a pre-installed battery saver to get some juice of battery from your phone. So use this precious feature and make your phone charge faster. But if your phone don’t have such feature, kindly download battery doctor and switch ON the battery saver mode while charging.
7. TURN ALL BACKGROUND APPS OFF
Check for your recently used apps and the ones running on background and turn them off while charging your phone. These background processes are one of the major cause of slow charging so try everything possible to turn them off. You can also turn it off using Battery doctor app .
8. MINIMIZE THE USE OF DESKTOP OR CAR CHARGERS
Car chargers and desktop chargers are not recommended if you are looking for a way to charge your smartphone faster. So take note.
9. USE LED TV USB PORT FOR CHARGING YOUR PHONE
This is one of the secrets I discovered. I noticed it when I used my first Bluegate LED TV to charge my phone. I got surprised at the speed the phone charged so I tried charging my 20000mAh powerbank in it and it charged faster too. I thought maybe it was only on that particular LED TV but when I tried it on a friends LED TV, the charging was also fast. Recently, I got another LG LED TV from Jumia and also tried it and I was amazed at the speed again. So give it a try if you want to charge fast.
10. SWITCH OFF YOUR PHONE
This is the last step and should be done mainly at night when you are not making use of your phone. Switch off your phone and see the magic.
