Note 5 Battery Drains Very Fast

Problem: The battery drain very fast. I have tried hard reset, clearing cache uninstall infrequent use apps.  The battery level drop 20% when I am on the way to office, approximately 45 mins route. During the journey, I only check messages on facebook and web browsing. I also discover that, the battery level will shows 5% less when you turn off your phone and charge.

Solution: The first thing that you need to do in this case is to check if an app you installed in your phone is causing the problem. To do this you need to start your phone in Safe Mode. When the phone operates in this mode only the pre-installed apps are allowed to run while downloaded apps are prevented from running. Does the problem still occur in this mode? If it doesn’t then it could be caused by an app you downloaded that is aggressively running in the background. Find out what app this is and uninstall it.

If the problem still occurs even in Safe Mode then you will need to proceed by doing a factory reset. Make sure to backup your phone data before doing the reset. Once the reset is complete do not install any apps in your phone yet.

Should the above steps fail to fix the problem then you will need to bring your phone to a service center and have it checked as it is possible that the battery of your phone is already failing.

Problem: I can not longer hook my Samsung Note 5 to a power cable to charge. Either I can’t get the plug in the charging slot or the cable is to loose and falls off. These are not new cables, they are the ones I have used all the time. I have about 5 chargers 3 of which are USB cords   

Solution: If you have already tried different charging cords on the phone and the issue remains then the problem lies with the charging port. I recommend that you have the port checked at a service center. It’s possible that the whole charging port assembly will have to be replaced if it is found to be deformed.

In case the phone will charge but will not turn on then what you should do next is to start the phone in recovery mode then do a factory reset. Take note that this will erase your phone data.

Should the above steps fail to fix the problem then you will need to bring your phone to a service center and have it checked.
