BATTERY DRAINED

Something happened and my battery lasts only 3 hours.
can anyone help me!!!

And please SE give us a joypad

Well, you can try:

1 - Drain the power completly so the mobile refuses to turn on
2 - Charge it disconnected for at least 10h

if the life of the battery improves do the above steps 2 more times

Note: battery life depends on the use of the mobile, so if you listen to mp3 or see videos for 3 hours you will drain the battery!

Don't forget that the battery life can also be drastically shortened if there's an application running in the background that's hogging the processor. The remote control app tends to kill the battery, for example, because it's processor intensive.

If you don't already have it, get the qFileMan app, or Tracker, HandyDay etc, as these all have task managers in that you can use to close down errant processes.

You can also try upgrading your firmware to R2D after you condition it back. I noticed a VERY significant improvement on my battery life after i upgraded my fone 😊
