Unsure, but yeah. I mean we drive these devices pretty hard, and the companies are trying to make them thinner all the time, pack more hours of life more performance faster charging. None of that is really great for battery health.
I always run my battery between 30% at the low end and 80% at the high end and it automatically stops charging at 80% and I have an alert set to tell me when it’s done and I have another alert set to notify me when it gets below 30% at which point I plug it in.
Laughs in LineageOS
Wait - how is Lineage supposed to mitigate this, though? It’s running on the same hardware.
It’s a Google update. Lineage doesn’t do Google updates.
The whole point is that it’s not safe to run it without the update, so that’s actually a minus.
Oh, it’s one of those battery overheating issues. Again, seriously?
Yes, batteries get old
If you take the update notes at face value, doesn’t that imply that you might be at risk of battery overheating?
Samsung phones exploding anyone…
Not all phones are affected. How can you tell which?
Can, they just say some in that. Maybe there is a serial number search for a specific range? Idk.
More battery issues? Seriously? I feel like this is common with these devices now, apparently.

Nice! A solid strategy for long life!
