Practically since smartphones have been part of our lives, users have been complaining about their battery. And it is that in most cases they do not offer us the necessary autonomy, since depending very much on the use, sometimes they do not reach the end of the day with the problem that this can lead to.
Luckily in recent times the batteries of mobile devices have been improving very much and there are even some that allow us to use our terminal for days without having to plug it into the power. This has also made us more and more confident and neglect the charge of the smartphone.
Until nothing, I myself had as a rule to charge my device every night, otherwise I would not have a battery the next day. Now with a terminal that the battery has a useful life of just over a day, I'm always careless and on the run to charge my smartphone. That is why today I want to tell you through this article 5 tricks to charge your smartphone at breakneck speed.
These tricks that you are going to be able to read below, keep in mind that you can use them whether you have a mobile device with a huge battery or one that you must charge daily. The important thing is that if you want a fast charge of your terminal and not have to wait too long, put them into practice as soon as possible.
Use the official charger, reject imitations
I will never tire of telling anyone who asks me, or who I see with an unofficial charger, that you should always use the official smartphone charger. The reasons are varied, but the first one is that each charger is adapted to the power of our device.
All the smartphones that we can acquire today come with a charger included, which brings a small power converter that converts the current from the plug into levels suitable for our terminal. If we use an unofficial charger, the power converter may be adapted for another terminal and if the power is lower it takes a long time to charge our smartphone.
In this case the advice to charge our mobile device faster is to use a charger with a higher power converter, although this can be a problem since we will be introducing a more powerful current than the terminal needs. Of course, this is not usually a problem for our mobile in the short term.
For example, many users of an iPhone usually charge it with the iPad charger, which has a higher power converter so charging is done much faster. My recommendation is that you always use the official terminal charger, although with a higher power one it takes much less time to fully charge it.
Say no to wireless charging
No one can deny that wireless charging is a great invention that allows us to charge our device just by placing it on a base specially designed for this type of charge. Unfortunately charging time is much longer than with any cable charger.
If you want your smartphone to charge fast, it is best to say no to wireless charging, except that if you don't mind waiting. For example, all those who charge their smartphone at night do not have too much problem that the terminal takes a little longer to charge wirelessly.
As in the previous point, always use or at least as much as possible official wireless chargers. You will notice the difference and your smartphone will thank you
Use airplane mode
He is known as airplane mode present in all mobile devices on the market, it allows us to leave our terminal as a modern paperweight. Well explained, it allows us to leave our smartphone in a mode in which it does not emit or receive signals, so we cannot send or receive messages, nor have a connection to the network of networks.
Many users wear it while sleeping or resting so that no one bothers them, but also can serve to greatly accelerate the loading of our mobile device. And it is that by not emitting or receiving signals, the battery consumption is almost zero and the charge accelerates. It will not be something that we notice to a great extent, but it can be interesting if we are in a hurry to go to work for example and we do not have too much battery.
Do not use the computer to charge your smartphone
Charging the mobile device, for example on the work computer, is a fairly widespread practice, but highly discouraged. And is that traditional USB ports on any computer send much less power, that is, despite the fact that they offer a higher voltage, the power is much better so that our smartphone will take much longer to charge.
A USB 2.0 port sends 0.5 amps with a power of 2.5 watts. A USB 3.0 for its part reaches 0.9 amps for a power of 4,5 several. In both cases the power is much lower than what we can get with a traditional charger connected to the electric current. This makes the terminal take much longer to load and sometimes ends up despairing.
Always watch what cable you buy
Unfortunately, charger cables do not last very long, in many cases due to the treatment we give them. This means that every so often we have to change the cable or the entire charger. Most of us usually buy a new cable to avoid having to invest so many euros when we have the totally new connector since it is the one that suffers the least from the pulls that we all usually give.
In case of having to acquire a new cable we must monitor very well what we buy, and once again I have to recommend that as far as possible you try to acquire an official one and a replica in the bazaar that almost all of us have under our house and that can end up being very expensive.
Most cables offer us the AWG standard, but there are others that offer finer copper wires that offer more resistance. This can make our mobile device load faster or slower, so you always have to keep an eye on it.
To find out what type of cable you need, it is best to look at the box or consult the manufacturer's website to avoid making a wrong choice. You should look at some figures that indicate 28 AWG or 24 AWG. The higher this number is, the slower our device will charge.
It shouldn't be done but You can always buy a cable with a slightly lower number to be able to charge your smartphone faster. Of course, be careful not to buy a too lower number that will end up "scorching" your mobile device. Officially, it is appropriate, although a little below it can give us a more than interesting speed when loading our terminal.
Opinion freely, but with a very cool head
Nobody likes to charge their mobile device every day and most of us are horrified when we are in a hurry to have to wait for the battery to charge a bit, allowing us to get to the end of the day without rushing. Using little tricks to speed up the charging of our smartphone may not be harmful in the short term for the device, but surely in the long run they are not good at all.
Using an unofficial charger or buying cables that offer less resistance, I would not recommend them to anyone if you want your smartphone to last at least a couple of years. It is true that I tend to be very critical and very conservative on this issue and on a thousand and one occasions I have reprimanded my mother for not charging her mobile device with its corresponding official charger.
If you are in a hurry and have no battery, honestly I think that the solution is not any of the tricks that I just explained, although this may seem like a joke, and I think the most appropriate solution is an external battery. There are currently hundreds of external batteries on the market, with very varied prices and very different capacities. Also in case you are missing something A few days ago I told you in this article some of the best devices of this type.
Before starting to try impossible things with your smartphone, to save yourself 5 minutes in the charging process, think about how much money you have paid for your terminal and if you really need to have a battery quickly and easily, at any time and place buy you an external battery or a second battery for your terminal.
Do you use any of the tips that I have shown you today to speed up the charge of your smartphone battery or do you pull an external battery?.
