After 2 years and 3 months my pixel 6 got too hot one too many times while charging and using and the battery expanded. Now I replaced it and got a pixel 8.
Now I don’t want that to happen again. I know this chip gets hot when charging. And I don’t mind slow charging at all, I’m used to overnight charging.
With my current setup I got a 20w cable charger and a 10w wireless one, and I want to know how to get even slower, less heating charging rates. What adapter brand is reputable, and is the slowest, battery friendliest that’s still reasonable for use… If this phone also just lasts me 2 years instead of the 5 that I’m gonna get os updates I’m gonna be mad… I’m okay with a battery replacement in general after a while but that isn’t really doable if the entire case is bent like it is on my P6…
I wish we could replace batteries…
Same… It should really be a default or a regulation… It also annoys me how flawed the fair phones are as devices…
What flaws are you referring to? I’m perfectly happy with my FP4. Just wondering what flaws I should be annoyed about.
What flaws are you referring to?
For me, lack of security. I also vaguely remember hearing that their repairability was overstated/limited due to part shortages, but I never looked into that as the lack of security is a deal breaker for me.
Slow charging only makes a tiny difference IMO, modern devices don’t get very hot while charging and Li-ion is fine up to about 45C during charging.
The best option is stop charging at 80% which will substantially improve battery life, my Samsung has this built in. But for phones that don’t you can use a wifi power plug and a Home Assistant automation to turn it off when your phone hits 80%.
Are there any easy to set up home assistants that are privacy friendly?
Home assistant is pretty easy IMO once you get a feel for it, and entirely local so very privacy friendly.
If I want to slow charge I use a USB 2 port on my PC.
Don’t do that, PC usb ports can break the charging port as the power output is unregulated better use some 5v1A rated charger
Really? The USB 2 spec says 0.5 amps at 5 volts maximum without negotiation AFAICT. How many motherboard manufacturers are breaking spec?
