Troubleshooting Common Issues with your Motorola Edge: A Handy Guide
Motorola Edge is a feature-rich smartphone that offers an immersive display, powerful performance, and a range of advanced features. This guide will help you troubleshoot these issues and get your Motorola Edge back to its optimal functionality.
1. Battery Life Issues:
- Check battery usage: Go to Settings
> Battery > Battery usage to identify apps or services consuming excessive power. Close unnecessary apps or uninstall power-hungry ones.
- Adjust screen brightness: Reduce the screen brightness or enable automatic brightness adjustment in Settings
> Display > Brightness.
- Disable background app refresh: Go to Settings
> Apps & notifications > Advanced > Special app access > Battery optimization. Select the desired apps and choose "Don't optimize" to prevent them from running in the background.
- Enable battery saver mode: Swipe down from the top of the screen twice and tap on "Battery Saver" for extended battery life during low power situations.
2. Overheating Issues:
- Limit resource-intensive tasks: Avoid running heavy applications simultaneously or for prolonged periods as they generate more heat.
- Remove phone case: Take off any protective case while using resource-intensive apps as it may trap heat within the device.
- Restart your device regularly: A simple restart can resolve temporary software glitches that may contribute to overheating.
3. Connectivity Issues:
Wi-Fi:
a) Restart router/modem: Turn off your router/modem for about 30 seconds, then turn it back on and allow it to reconnect before trying again.
b) Forget Wi-Fi network: In Settings
> Network & internet > Wi-Fi, tap on the connected network's name and select "Forget." Then reconnect by entering the password again.
Mobile Data:
a) Check signal strength: Poor signal strength can affect data connectivity.
Move to an open area or switch to a different location for better reception.
b) Enable and disable airplane mode: Swipe down from the top of the screen, tap on the airplane icon to enable it, wait for a few seconds, and then disable it.
4. App Crashes or Freezing:
a) Close and reopen the app: Swipe up from the bottom of the screen (or use recent apps button), find the problematic app, and swipe it off the screen to close it.
Then relaunch it.
b) Clear app cache: In Settings
> Apps & notifications > See all apps > select problematic app > Storage & cache > Clear cache.
c) Update apps: Ensure all your installed apps are up to date by going to Play Store
> Menu (three horizontal lines) > My apps & games.
5. Slow Performance:
- Restart your device: A quick restart often resolves temporary performance issues caused by background processes.
- Remove unnecessary files/apps: Uninstall unused applications and delete unnecessary files such as photos, videos, or documents that may be consuming storage space.
