Suddenly, you notice that battery on your Android smartphone is draining too fast. You try to install some battery saver apps and that make the situation even worse. I was facing the same problem on my Motorola Android phone. I noticed that my battery drain has increased from 3-4% to 12-13% per hour. Such huge reduction in battery life was not due to heavy phone usage or installation of an app. I tried to gain some battery life by uninstalling battery draining apps, but that did not work. I find some tutorials on the Internet suggesting to reset the phone. Resetting the phone may solve the problem, but you will lose all your data and apps. In this post I am going to share a very simple but effective tip that can help you if you are facing battery draining problem.
Surprisingly, Clearing the Phone cache helped me and my battery life restored to normal range. So if the battery life of your android phone is draining too fast, I suggest you to clear your phone cache. Also uninstall any third party battery saver app. Cache is the space where some Apps and websites store files to speed up the execution process. Clearing cache will not delete any important system files. Whether you are using Samsung, HTC, Motorola, Sony, Google or any other Android phone or tablet, the process of clearing the cache is very much similar for any device.
