    People are literally playing with fire.

    On one hand, it could be more Google bullshit like their RCS requirements that lock out custom Roms just so users will buy a new phone or play their cat and mouse game with Magisk modules.

    On the other, it could legitimately be a problem with the battery and it needs to be taken seriously.

    If those are my options, and there’s no way to know the real truth, I’d swap to a different phone just to be on the safe side.

      Totally, but why couldn’t Google just be straight with people on this? All the corporate speak and hedging just serves to fuel speculation—and doesn’t instill a lot of confidence in them or their products.
