Cue GrapheneOS refusing to support the feature in 3…2…1…
It is probably proprietary code so not open source hence the lack of support. Would love if they would bake in the feature though.
Edit: this feature was added to GrapheneOS in the latest update!
This is something I do on my new (Samsung) phones for the last 2 phones and this latest one I also turned off fast charging. On previous phones it was capped at 85%, current ones seem to have several options with the highest “saving” being to charge to 80%
If I’m going out for the day and need the full charge I turn it off for the duration and if I need a fast charge I turn that back on.
By and large though most of the time I keep it off. Seems to make the batteries last a bit longer. Too early to tell on the current phone though. Only a year old. I generally keep phones for around 4 years.
I used to do the opposite on the old nicad batteries phones had in the 90s. I’d carry a spare fully charged one, run the main one down to zero, swap them and then charge it to full. This made a huuuuge difference though.
Not seeing that option in my pixel 7 with the latest December update (which revamped the settings menu with a different order, placing Google at top instead of bottom)
Should be under “Charging optimization”, previously called as “Adaptive Charging”.
That’s weird! It appeared now! I am 100% sure that this morning it was missing. Probably some server-activated feature
Will the Pixel 5 get this feature?
It’s already out of support so that seems very unlikely
