Do most people not have the option to protect their battery already?

[–] Virulent@reddthat.com 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think that's a Samsung feature

It's built into my pixel as well. Shrug

You have an older Pixel or just rooted, maybe? My 7 on the latest vanilla Android doesn't seem to have it, and this thread seems to say it's not available in the stock os.

Is called adaptive charging

It's on my pixel 7 pro at least

[–] atx_aquarian@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Ah, I see. I was focused on the 80% limiter for that "Maximum" setting, which I think is not an option on Pixel. But I see now that "Adaptive Charging" sounds like it does what that middle setting "Adaptive" does.

"Sleep time is estimated based on your usage patterns"

These systems exist on pretty much all modern phones, but they all work the same (shitty) way, by assuming your schedule is exactly the same every day and giving you zero programmable control.

And on iPhone the system expects you want your battery to charge over 80% on a daily basis. On a Samsung phone the system knows you don’t want to go past 80% at all, so it sets that as the new maximum.
