An update from a previous Android version to a newer one borked the battery life. It’s been noticeably worse than when new. It has times when it just heats up because the CPU is going better, but the actual load is minimal.
It’s done because this phone has battery saving features, like you can set it to only charge up to 80%. Over time the max battery life has taken a moderate hit. It’s not that it’s not tolerable, it’s just that I wanted to refresh. Also I kind of messed up my headphone jack, I thi k the ground contact broke, and I already ordered the replacement parts so I want that installed anyway, so I might as well put in a new battery.
I mean, aside from foldables, why should I buy a new phone if nothing’s changed much. Most new Android releases seem to make me dislike something here and there.
I’ve had this phone for about a year and a half now, I’m going to take it to a phone repair place and swap out the battery for a new one, then it will be just like new
