To be honest, under a 20k budget right here in India, Motorola G85 5G is the best option out there. It looks good, has great specifications, a great camera, and all that. And let’s say you have recently bought this great device, but now you are facing the charging issue with your smartphone, which is often the case with many new smartphones. What to do in that case? Well, we’ll be telling you the reasons as well as the fixes, so stay tuned. Here we go.
What Are These Charging Issues?
To be honest, there is not one particular thing we can point to that is causing the charging issue with your smartphone. Like, for instance, your phone might not be getting any power at all and thus displaying a black screen, may only charge superficially, or stop charging at a point before getting to full battery charge. So, that’s the reason that knowing what is actually the cause of the problem is the first step forward in fixing this Motorola G85 5G not charging issue. Alright, let’s see some basic troubleshooting steps, shall we?
Basic Troubleshooting Steps
1. Power Source Verification
As a rule of thumb, you should start by checking the power source of your device, you know? Before anything else, make sure that the outlet is working properly. Plug in a different device to the same outlet if unsure of its functionality.
2. Charger and Cable Check
The very first thing to try is using the original charger that came in the box which is compatible with your specific phone: a 33W charger together with a USB Type-C data cable in the case of Moto G85 5G. After that check for damages or signs of wear on both pieces. If you do notice any damage the replacement of those parts could resolve your issue.
3. Battery Health Check
By the nature of their operation, batteries tend to deteriorate with time. A telling sign of such deterioration is when a previously well-working phone is no longer capable of holding its power as it once did. So, if the device has been with you for a long time, this explanation should be it, but considering that the Motorola G85 5G is a fairly recently launched device, this might not be the case with you.
So, What Are The Fixes You Can Try?
1. Adapter Or Charging Cable Problems
Well, let’s say you have tried charging your phone with some other Type-C charger and it is working just fine, then in that case, you can’t do much and have to buy a new charger. That’s all!
2. Software Updates
Believe it or not, simply updating the software ensures you have the newest features while bug fixes can sometimes also improve charging performance. Like, check for the updates in your system by going to Settings from the home screen and then selecting Software Update from the menu.
3. Safe Mode Diagnosis
Let’s say if there is any third-party app that you recently installed that is causing the interference in the charging process, then you can verify it by running your smartphone in safe mode. If you don’t know yet, in safe mode, you will be running the stock operating system without installing any third-party applications. If your phone is normally charged then you need to uninstall some apps, most likely one or more of them is the problem.
4. Optimized Charging Features
You may be unaware of this, but the Motorola G85 5G has an optimized charging feature designed to extend your battery’s life by preventing it from charging beyond 80% under certain conditions, you know? It could be that this is the feature that causes the charging issue, so you can go to settings, and disable it from there.
