4. Professional advice
1.Charging environment optimization:Keep the ambient temperature during charging between 10℃-30℃. High temperature will cause the charging protection mechanism to activate.
2.System version check:Make sure the system is the latest version (EMUI 3.1 and above). Older versions may have charging management bugs.
3.In-depth maintenance suggestions:If the above method does not work, it is recommended to:
5. User FAQs
Q: Why does the charging speed become faster when it is turned off?
A: When the system is powered off, the background process is completely closed, and the charging current can reach the standard value of 1.8A, which is about 25% faster than the powered on state.
Q: Can using a fast charging head increase the charging speed?
A: Huawei P8 does not support the fast charging protocol. Using a fast charging head may trigger overload protection. It is recommended to use the original 5V/2A charger.
Q: Is it normal for the phone to get hot when charging?
A: Slight fever (<40℃) is normal. If the temperature is too high, you should stop charging immediately. There may be a safety hazard in the battery.
Through the above structured analysis, most of the Huawei P8 slow charging problems can find corresponding solutions. It is recommended that users give priority to troubleshooting accessories and system problems. If the problem persists, they should contact the official after-sales service in time.
