Issue with the charger Test with another cable to make sure. You can also test the charge by removing the charging block You can also test the charge by removing the power supply block, and connecting the USB end (Type A) into a compatible device. If the issue is indeed coming from the charging cable, or the power supply block in which it’s plugged in, changing it should address the issue. Validation of the energy consumption per app Most smartphones allow to check the energy consumption of your battery for each app installed. If an app is consuming a crazy amount of energy, uninstall or deactivate it from your phone. Select a recent period that will give you a good overall idea of your issue. Some phones need to be fully recharged to define a new verification period. It is generally possible to close or uninstall some native apps in the phone. Restart your phone Reboot (power cycle) your phone by holding down the phone’s power button for 10 seconds. If it’s a timely issue with the operating system or an app, the phone will be able to reload everything to work properly. If the phone is frozen, and you cannot restart it, try a force restart. The key sequence to complete a force restart can vary from one phone model to another. It’s usually a simultaneous combination of keys.

Any access of 100 Mbps or more is subject to the traffic management policy. Last update: MARCH 2023 Does Fizz apply Internet traffic management measures? Yes, Fizz applies traffic management measures, but only from the user to the Internet (upload), and fo r accesses of 100 Mbps or more (hereinafter called THE ACCESSES*). *Certain conditions (see below). Why does Fizz use Internet traffic management measures? Fizz wants to offer the best online experience to its members. Because the upload speed (from the user to the Internet) of the ACCESSES* is high, Fizz uses traffic management measures to prevent some modems from slowing down the overall service, even momentarily. What kind of traffic is targeted? Fizz does not target any particular type of traffic, nor any specific applications or protocols such as peer-to-peer file sharing. Only data uploads (from the user to the Internet) made with the ACCESSES * access are subject to traffic management. Download traffic (from the Internet to the user) is not managed. When and how does Fizz manage traffic on its network? Every 15 minutes, a system checks the traffic rate of each upstream channel (typically, one upstream channel serves a few dozen modems). If the traffic rate exceeds the threshold above which congestion occurs, the syste m identifies the modems which use these ACCESSES* in that channel that are uploading a large amount of data. The upload capacity of these modems is then given a low-priority rating. Based on the severity and time during which the congestion persists, the upload speed of these modems may then be slowed down. When the amount of data uploaded by the modems is diminished or the traffic on that channel reverts to a normal rate for which congestion is no longer an issue, the upload capacity prioritization will go back
