The HTC phone battery serves as the energy source for the phone, and its importance is self-evident. It powers various functions of the phone, allowing us to make calls, send messages, browse the web, play games, take photos, and more anytime and anywhere. A well-performing battery ensures that the phone operates stably for an extended period, meeting our various daily usage needs and making our lives and work more convenient and efficient.
- Check through System Settings: Most HTC phones have a “Settings” option on the home screen. After entering, find the “Battery” or “Power” option. For example, on the HTC U11, after clicking “Battery,” you can click “Show Full Device Power Consumption” or “Show App Usage” to view the battery usage status of the system and applications as well as the power consumption; for HTC One A9, click “Power” and then “Battery Usage” to check.
- View Battery History: Taking the HTC U11 as an example, on the home screen, click “Settings,” enter “Battery,” and click the battery image to view battery usage at different times, including the time spent using the phone since the last charge, screen-on time, and time spent using mobile networks or WLAN.
- Check Battery Usage of Applications: One method is to click “Applications” in “Settings,” select the application you want to check, and then click “Battery” to see that application’s battery usage; another way is when viewing battery usage details, if you see the “Manage Battery Usage” or “Adjust Power Usage” section, you can click the options below to adjust settings that affect battery consumption.
- Use Power Saving Mode Wisely: HTC phones generally have power-saving modes and advanced power-saving modes. When intensive phone use is not required, such as during nighttime rest or long periods of non-use, you can enable power-saving mode or advanced power-saving mode to extend battery life. For example, on the HTC One M8s, click “Power” in “Settings,” and toggle the power-saving mode on/off, and you can also click “Auto Start” in the power-saving mode to select battery levels and set the time for automatic activation of this mode.
- Manage Connections: Turn off wireless connections such as mobile data, WLAN, or Bluetooth when certain functions are not in use. Only turn on GPS when precise positioning is needed, and enable airplane mode when no wireless connections are needed, and you do not want to receive calls or messages to avoid unnecessary power consumption.
- Optimize Display Settings: Lower screen brightness, turn off the screen when not in use, and keep the display simple to help save battery power. You can use automatic brightness adjustment (default) or manually lower the brightness while also shortening the screen timeout. Avoid setting dynamic wallpapers for the home screen; switching to a plain black background can also help slightly.
- Manage Applications: Timely uninstall or disable unused applications, as many applications run background processes or sync data, consuming power even when not in use. Install the latest software and application updates, as updates may include battery performance improvements.
- Limit Background Data and Syncing: It is advisable not to sync application data too frequently. Determine which applications can have longer sync intervals or can be synced manually. In “Settings,” click “Accounts and Sync” to check the types of data being synced in online accounts, and temporarily disable some data syncing when battery levels are low.
A: It may be due to battery aging, excessive application usage, high screen brightness, unstable network connections, and external environmental factors. You can check battery usage to identify high-consumption applications for optimization, while also adjusting usage habits to extend battery life.
A: Avoid using the phone while charging for long periods, try to charge when the battery is above 20%, and develop good charging habits. Timely close unnecessary background applications and functions, lower screen brightness, and use network connections and location services wisely. Regularly updating applications and system software can also help.
A: The power-saving mode can reduce the usage of phone functions that consume battery power, such as location services and mobile data connections, thereby extending battery life.
A: Yes, applications such as AccuBattery and Battery Doctor can detect battery capacity, health status, charging speed, and provide optimization suggestions.
A: Not necessarily; you can also choose compatible batteries from reputable brands, but pay attention to the quality and compatibility of the battery to avoid damage to the phone from inferior batteries.
A: It may be due to certain applications running continuously in the background without optimization or some abnormal power consumption issues with the phone itself. Further check the application settings, close unnecessary background activities, and if the problem persists, consider factory resetting or consulting after-sales personnel.
A: For example, on the HTC U12+, click “Settings” on the home screen, then “Battery,” and toggle the “Battery Percentage” on/off button to display the battery percentage in the status bar.
A: There is a certain relationship; different system versions may have different battery management and optimization. Newer system versions may fix some battery consumption issues and provide better battery management features, so it is recommended to update system software in a timely manner.
A: Some applications may still run background processes or sync data even after being closed. You can find the respective application in “Settings” under “Applications” and click “Force Stop” to completely close the application and prevent it from consuming power in the background.
A: High temperatures can accelerate the aging process of the battery, reduce its capacity and performance, and may even lead to battery swelling and other safety hazards. It is advisable to avoid exposing the phone to high temperatures for extended periods, such as direct sunlight.
