Fast standby power consumption and short battery life

Charging Process

* Contrary to the wording commonly used in the media, the replaceable battery of the GS4 is not a classic "exchangeable battery", but a battery that can be replaced by the customer with a new battery at the end of its life. Instructions on how to replace the battery can be found in the operating instructions.

The appliance is not designed to be used when the battery needs to be replaced.

Usetime

Note:

To prevent damage to the device, use only the original Gigaset chargers, accus and cables.

Battery life depends on the network environment, the apps you use, the frequency of charging and many other factors.

Fast standby power consumption and short battery life

Analysis:

1. Too many apps running in the background.

2. The screen brightness is too high.

3. Bluetooth, GPS, WLAN and data connections are activated

4. The somatosensory function requires a lot of power when it is activated.

5. Frequent use is also a major reason for the short battery life of smartphones.

Solution:

1.1 Operation via the navigation bar: Press the multitasking button () on the home screen, then the most recently used apps can each be closed by swiping up from the lower area to the upper area of the display.

Alternatively, all recently used apps can be closed by pressing the "Clear all" button.

1.2 Operation via gesture control: Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and briefly hold down your finger. Afterwards, the most recently used apps can be closed by swiping up from the lower area to the upper area of the display.

Alternatively, all recently used apps can be closed by pressing the "Clear all" button.

Charging process:

The charging  is based on intelligent monitoring of the battery status and control of the charging process according to predefined parameters.

This is intended to contribute to improved safety and service life of smartphone batteries. You can find out more about the Gigaset Battery Save Initiative at the following link: Gigaset Battery Save Initiative

As soon as the battery level reaches the set charging limit (70%/80%/90%), the smartphone starts to discharge.

The charging process is stopped until the battery level reaches the lower threshold, whereupon the smartphone is recharged.

The process where the battery discharges from the set charging limit to the threshold (5%) is described as charging hysteresis.

If no charge limit is set, the charge hysteresis is 15%.

Example:

Upper charge limit: 90% -> does not charge again until 84%

Upper charge limit: 80% -> does not charge again until 74% 

Upper charge limit: 70% -> does not charge again until 64% 

Charge limit deactivated (device charges up to 100%) -> does not charge again until 84%.

Hint: 

If the device is charged when it is switched off, no charge limit or hysteresis applies. This means that the smartphone always charges up to 100% when it is switched off.

Setting of the battery charge limit:
