1.1 Why does my phone take so long to charge?
1. Make sure both ends of the data cable are correctly inserted into the phone and charger.
2. If you are using a low-current charger and a computer USB cable (current usually limited to
500 mA), your phone will take longer to charge due to the small current. It is recommended
that you use the 5 V 3 A charger that was shipped with your phone.
3. Unplug your phone from the charger, then plug it back in, inserting the cable firmly into
your phone. Unplug the charger from the socket, then plug it back in, ensuring the charger is
firmly inserted.
4. If the problem persists, take your phone to an authorized Huawei service center for
inspection.
1.2 What can I do if my phone runs out of power quickly
even when in standby?
Tip 1: Enable battery saver mode.
Setup instructions: Go to Settings > Battery > Menu > Battery saver. Battery saver mode is
disabled by default. Enabling this mode will restrict your phone's active functions as well as
limit vibration, location services, and most background data traffic. Email apps, chat tools,
and other apps that depend on synchronizing data will only check for new information when
opened.
Tip 2: Adjust your screen brightness.
Setup instructions: Go to Settings > Display > Brightness level. Drag the slider left to
decrease screen brightness. This will reduce the power consumption of the screen.
Tip 3: Close apps running in the background.
Setup instructions: Touch and hold the icon farthest to the right in the virtual navigation bar at
the bottom of the screen. Close any apps you are no longer using.
Tip 4: Uninstall unneeded apps that consume a lot of power.
