How to fix slow charging in all devices

 

 

On tech forums, groups and social media, I personally, have seen many people complaining about Slow Phone charging problem. This is a very common issue and not just limited to android phones or tablets. It affects all devices that use micro-USB port to receive power to charge the devices. If you are affected by this annoying problem, don’t you worry, I am going to provide you a list of solutions that will hopefully solve slow charging on all android.

There are many factors responsible for slow charging of your Android smartphone, I have highlighted the most common ones. Perform the steps mentioned below until your problem is sorted.

• Replace the Charging Cable:

 

 

Many times, it is the micro-USB to USB cable that is the culprit. These cables lose their efficiency over time and, therefore, can't provide enough current (amperage) to charge the phone/device. Change the Micro-USB to cable. Either purchase a new one or borrow the one that’s being used on other devices. If you are using iPhone, change the lightning cable.
Tip: When purchasing cables, always go for slightly thicker ones (higher gauge). They can transfer high current without breaking down. Also, avoid longer once as it has a higher resistivity and reduce current flow.

• Apply Airplane Mode:

 

 

Airplane mode completely turns off wireless connectivity (Cellular and Wi-Fi) of your phone. So it does not interfere with the instruments present in the aircraft. Surprisingly, Airplane mode on your smartphone can significantly improve the charging process by decreasing the charging time. The only disadvantage is that you would not be able to communicate with others through mobile network or the internet. It way better than switching off your phone when charging.

• Get A New Charger/Adapter:

 

 

If changing the charging cable doesn't work. It's time to change the charger. A variety of USB-based chargers available in the market are of low quality, so getting a good charger is a bit challenging. A good charger must have following specifications:

• 5v 2.0A – This is the standard. Get a charger which has an output of at least 2.0 amperes. Read the information written on the front/back of the charger.
• Avoid chargers with detachable USB cables, their ports/connections become loose after frequent usage. It is better to get a charger with fixed micro-USB output.
• Blackberry PlayBook Charger, Blackberry Playbook charger is an example of a good charger. I'm using a charger from Blackberry PlayBook, it is my favorite and works on all of my devices. It has a stable 2.0A output and a fixed micro-USB cable.

Warning!!!: Refrain from using multi-purpose chargers that come with universal connectors. It can damage your phone and battery.

• Avoid Charging From Powerbanks, Laptop:

I use Powerbank only when am short of a power supply and I need my phone's service immediately, but I see no reason to use it to charge my phone to 100% since most of them produce very low current. For USB ports, While they can charge your device using USB ports, it is still not the best idea to do so. USB ports on Computers are meant for transferring data, they do not produce enough current for a device to charge. Hence, slow charging is initiated and battery life span gets shortened.
Output current for USB in ideal scenario:

• USB 2.0 can provide up to 500mA
• USB 3.0 can provide up to 900mA

If you don’t have a charger nearby and using PC USB port as a last resort. It would be great if you connect your device to a USB 3.0 (blue) port.

• Stay Away From Phone While Charging:

 

 

Most people are fond of this habit am part of them lol, Using your phone while charging may put a negative impact on your Android’s battery life. It puts the battery under heavy load and cause the device to heat up. Do these things before you put your phone in charge:

• Close/End all the applications that are running
• Turn off WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS
• Put your Smartphone Airplane mode, it will turn off all the wireless/cellular connectivity. Only do this if you’re not expecting any communication.

So, to increase the rate at which your phone charges, move away from it so as to let it charge completely without compelling with your normal activities.

• Replace Your Smartphones Battery:

If your device is an year old and it quickly drains battery after a long charging session. Chances are your device battery is dying a slow painful death. Get a new battery from Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). If they discontinued the production of phone/battery. Don’t worry, you can still find replica batteries. Proceed with caution though.

• Change Tthe Android/iOS Version Of Your Device:

If you recently upgraded your device’s operating system through System Update (i.e. Android Marshmallow) and experiencing quick battery drain or slow charging. It means the new OS is buggy or incompatible with your device. Look for steps to downgrade the version or wait for a bug fix patch.

I hope I have in one way or the other, impacted a tactical method to reduce slow charging on your android phone and has increase the charging rate of your android. If you are still facing problem with any of the above strategies, do use the comment box to express your problems. Enjoy!!!...

Have you install the latest apple os update OS X 10.11.4?

If yes, then you might be wondering with a fact that the Apple had delivered an ineffective patch update this time.

Yes! This news would definitely disappoint many Apple users, as the latest update of OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 and iOS 9.3 still contain a privilege escalation vulnerability that could affect 130 Million Apple customers.

Just last week, we reported about a critical privilege escalation vulnerability in Apple's popular System Integrity Protection (SIP) security mechanism, affecting all versions of OS X operating system.

Even after Apple had fixed the critical flaw in the latest round of patches for Macs and iThings, the SIP can still be bypassed in the most recent version of operating system, leaving Apple users vulnerable to flaws that could remotely hijack their machines.

SIP Bypass Exploit Code Fits in a Tweet

Interestingly, Stefan Esser, a security researcher from Germany, has released a new exploit code to bypass latest patched version of SIP application, which just fits in a Tweet.

Here's the exploit code -- It can be used to modify a crucial OS X configuration file that not even root user is allowed to touch, reported The Register.
ln -s /S*/*/E*/A*Li*/*/I* /dev/diskX;fsck_cs /dev/diskX 1>&-;touch /Li*/Ex*/;reboot
The above code actually expands to:
ln -s /System/Library/Extensions/AppleKextExcludeList.kext/Contents/Info.plist /dev/diskX
fsck_cs /dev/diskX 1>&-
touch /Library/Extensions/
Reboot
The above exploit code successfully bypasses Apple's SIP technology, allowing one to run processes as it is pleased.

What is System Integrity Protection (SIP)?

Apple introduced SIP, a security protection feature to the OS X kernel, with the release of OS X El Capitan, which is designed to restrict the root account of OS X machines and limit the actions a root user can perform on protected parts of the system.

Besides this, System Integrity Protection (SIP) also helps prevent software from changing your startup volume, blocks certain kernel extensions from being loaded and limits the debugging of certain apps.

System Integrity Protection or SIP, by default, protects these folders: /System, /usr, /bin, /sbin, along with applications that come pre-installed with OS X.

This is really a bad time for Apple and its users. Now, let's hope that the company would be more vigilant with its upcoming patch update.

How to disable Auto Correct on iPhone

The iPhone auto correct feature can help prevent annoying typos, but for many users auto correct on the iPhone can create a lot of problems by mangling many words and even creating embarrassing typos. Turning off auto correct on the iPhone takes less than a minute and you can make the change as often as you need.

iPhone auto correct attempts to understand what you actually want to type as you type it. The tool matches with a built-in iPhone dictionary, with your contacts and with replacement words that you teach the iPhone.

In theory the iPhone understands what you want to type and auto correct will fix the words so that what you mean to type is what shows up on screen — instead of typos and random words.
Even with improvements in iOS 9 and newer updates the iPhone auto correct can very often change the meaning of a word and auto correct slang, acronyms, proper names and even swears into laughable alternatives.
To avoid this problem and the frustrations of corrected words that you don’t actually want to type, you can turn auto correct off in the iPhone settings. Use the guide below to disable auto correct so you can send messages exactly as you type them — typos, slang and all.

This works on the iPhone and on the iPad with iOS 9, iOS 8 and with updates newer updates.

Check spelling will only show you the misspelled words, not automatically change them. You can tap on a word that is not spelled correctly and get suggestions on what you may have meant to type.

Let me first of all start by saying it’s a new months and I congratulates everyone. Lot’s has happened in the past few days and I’ll just summarize them below. You already know the data plans that suit you hence no need to aim for something exceptionally high.

MTN: MTN 0.0kb still working but not as effective as before but lots of you are rocking MTN Magic sim. The truth is, if you can’t risk N250 then don’t try it. I’d personally try it and it worked just fine; it may not support your sim but definitely it rocks like thunder.

How Can I Activate MTN Magic Sim?

>> Get any MTN sim 
>> Recharge with #250
>> subscribe to mtn 2hr data plan by Dialing *131*1*4*1# then N250 willbe deducted.
>> Browse for just 5minutes
>> Remove the sim and keep it for 24hrs
>> After 24hrs put the sim back and enjoy unlimited browsing with mtn.

Not just that but you can also get free 150MB data on your mtn sim by Sending GM to 2200. You’ll be given free 150MB on your MTN sim.

MTN BBLited: I know alots of you still uses BBLited with Psiphone or SAS, it still rocks without any speed throttling. See more guide regarding that here.

MTN 1hr Unlimited Internet Browsing Plan: MTN 60 minutes unlimited internet data bundle plan lets you surf the internet and download as much as you like for the duration of 1 hour. This plan is pegged at NGN150 per hour. To subscribe to this bundle, you’ll need check for eligibility first by dial the *567*59# USSD code and replying 1 to the prompt.

Etisalat: Etisalat seems to be fast this days but one thing I don’t really understand is the data zapping ish which is really annoying. Depending on how well you consume data, you can get Etisalat 1GB for N1,000 or 2GB for N2,000

Dial *229*2*7# For 1GB or 

Dial *229*2*8# for 2GB. This plan will last you if you are only concern with social media and current happenings.

Airtel: My beloved Airtel Nigeria secretly launched another plan some couples of weeks ago; unfortunately, it works only on Blackberry devices. With Just N1,000 you can get 3GB of data. Dial *431# to activate. Every other Airtel plan you know zaps data like NCC. 

However, I don’t know why Airtel Weekend data run normal in terms of data usage while others monthly plans zaps without integrity.

To all Android, PC and iOS users who still makes use of Airtel data plan, This plan works best for you… 3GB for N1,500. Dial *440*16#

Remember Airtel Timely Based Plan for Heavy Downloaders?
