For many users, Android 5.0 Lollipop has not (at all) a balm of good news. Nothing could be further from the truth. For a vast majority of terminal owners Nexus, the arrival of this data packet has become one of their worst nightmares. Not surprisingly, has brought significant yield losses. One of the most worrying certainly has been excessively draining the autonomy of equipment. The fact is that this problem is spreading dangerously. So much so that terminal users as the Samsung Galaxy S5 or HTC One M8 are also experiencing these failures. We are not, it must be said, to a unique problem. Most updates when they come, they bring different problems that have to be resolved later with other firmware packages. This is reality.
Google has explained that these problems will be resolved soon through an update. For some users the bug is really serious, since after disconnecting your Samsung Galaxy S5 load have seen autonomy was reduced to 95% of stroke. These same users are also complaining about excessive overheating. The problem of a large majority of terminal owners who are not Nexus is that this corrective Google update will not arrive until within weeks. Meanwhile, it is possible to perform certain steps manually. We tell you how to solve the battery problems, then:
1) The first thing to do is check what is actually draining the battery in your computer. Access the Settings menu and find the option Battery. Here you will see the use of energy broken for different applications and services that run on a phone.
2) If a function or app you are consuming too much energy (this can occur in applications that have not recently received updates) will need to uninstall and install again.
3) On the other hand, a group of users has already denounced the battery drain occurs when they are connected to a WiFi network. In this case all you have to do is turn off WiFi when you're not using.
4) The owners of Samsung Galaxy S5 who have experienced problems of autonomy ensure that this problem is solved by a factory reset. However, keep in mind that this process will remove all content and personal settings. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you back up this information before performing the process.
And, what I can do if none of these approaches has solved my problem? Well, in this case all you can do is wait for the corrective update reaches your terminal. However, how to maximize the autonomy of your phone, we recommend:
1) Restart your computer regularly. Sometimes a simple restart can resolve major bugs.
2) Reduce the brightness of the screen until you feel comfortable with lighting. You can do this from the Setup section.
3) Turn off WiFi and Bluetooth when not in need and closes the applications that are running in the background. You can access the apps carousel that provides Lollipop, so you just have to click on the cross in the right corner.
4) Finally, we remind you that some teams have power modes that disable certain options and allow us to enjoy a few extra hours of battery life. The Samsung Galaxy S5 is one of them. Take advantage of it!
