  • You can buy a standalone copy of Tasker for $4 if you get the patreon membership.

    That does not require google play.

    Does Tasker literally have charge control these days (I’ll assume it has the sensor)? If so it’d make a good, more versatile solution for tinkerers (but probably at least 30% the cost or more give the module buying monetization craziness compared to a set and forget chargie).

    I haven’t checked. But, it should be possible. Combined with battery limit feature of most phones. You can post that question in [email protected] or the tasker subredit if you still use reddit.




  • Not that its a bad study or anything, but where are the data points? Did they happen to publish their numbers somewhere?

    Atleast cannot see anything in this video. Maybe, on weibo?

    Also android artificially reduces capacity as it gets older. Most of the pixel phones for example will use number of cycles + time to determine the “max” capacity.

    About android. Is there any report about android in general or just pixel?

    Also, Good point about pixel. The forced capacity reduction cannot be stopped by the user.

    Iphones reduced Soc performance in the past. Now, they do when detecting low voltage on your ageing battery and provide a bypass.



  • The charging tech does make a difference on charge speeds and heat. But, PPS should not make much of a difference. especially against advanced chinese charging tech solutions.

    My phone gets hot when I use a slow charging. But, Phones using SuperVooc charging tech do not have heating issues when charged with them. Because they have most of the charging logic in the charger and not the phone.

    So, your phone can be pumped with 60-120w and you won’t notice much heat at all.









  • This is straight from the samsung page you speak about. The dontkillmyapp page has not been properly maintained and updated. The ratings are absolute. The samsung card talks about android P update and the android 11 update. The problem you describe does not happen on the latest software of Oneui. They are asking for feedback on android 14. The latest android is 15 and 16.

    UPDATE 07/2024: Samsung officially promised to drop the non-standard optimizations: "To strengthen the Android platform, our collaboration with Google has resulted in a unified policy that we expect will create a more consistent and reliable user experience for Galaxy users. Since One UI 6.0, foreground services of apps targeting Android 14 will be guaranteed to work as intended so long as they are developed according to Android’s new foreground service API policy.” If anyone has information about this or experience with Android 14 on Samsung phones, please, let us know any feedback on this
