Tips to fix LG G7 ThinQ battery life issues
Restart your phone
The simplest thing to do for starters is to restart your device. This is important because by restarting it, you will close all the things that are running in the background. While it may not seem like there is anything running in the background, there are tons of processes and apps, and every single thing that runs has some sort of impact on the battery. If you don’t restart the phone regularly and close all those things, the battery won’t last for long. So, first things first. Restart your phone.
Turn of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Mobile data and GPS when not in use
This is another thing for you to do. All these options are great, but you don’t really need them all turned on all the time, right? So, when you don’t use Bluetooth, make sure it is turned off. The same goes for the rest. When not in use, just make sure they are off. You will notice the battery will last a lot longer.
Automatic brightness
Displays are all bright and great, but making sure the brightness is set to automatic could be a game-changer. All you need to do is head over Display settings and select automatic brightness. It is just that simple.
Turn off the vibrate mode when not in use
Another setting that you should turn off when not in use. While this might be handy, it can also have a huge impact on the battery. So, when the vibrate mode is not in use, make sure it is turned off.
Widgets and live papers
This is another thing for you to consider – lower down the number of widgers (especially the ones with live update) and also consider replacing a live paper with a normal one. These small changes can make things a lot better in terms of battery life, so it is definitely worth trying.
Get rid of the power-hungry apps or the apps you no longer use
If you have too many power-hungry apps, consider deleting some. Also, if you have too many apps you no longer use, make sure to uninstall them. They can be a burden do your phone and the battery, even when not in use.
Update the apps
Make sure to update the remaining apps. You can do that by opening Google Play, tap on the hamburger icon and tap on My apps & games. Tap Update all.
Software update
Check for a software update from time to time. It will not bring you a set of new features, it also brings fixes for various bugs and issues. In other words, it can bring a solution for battery-life issues and it may improve it a bit.
Make Use of Power saver
If you are out, and there is no power source or charger around you can make the battery last a bit longer by making use of the Power saver option. When turned on, this setting will reduce the performance of your phone. Here is how to enable it:
- Go to Settings
- Tap Battery
- Tap Battery Saver
- Select one of the options: Extended or Maximum
When it is time to turn the Power saver off, again navigate to Settings > Battery > Battery saver, and tap off.
These are some of the simple tips that can change how the battery behaves and can make it last longer. So, make sure to try them out.
