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.

I do this with my OnePlus device running lineage OS. There's a toggle to only charge to 80% and I've turned it on and always use it and then I only let it drop to about 30% before I plug it back in and this keeps it from getting too high or too low. I think getting too high damages the cells more than getting too low does, but by capping the bottom side at 30%, I guarantee that I will find an outlet to plug it in before I run out of juice entirely.

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)

[–] i_am_tired_boss@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Should be under "Charging optimization", previously called as "Adaptive Charging".

[–] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 4 points 2 months ago

That's weird! It appeared now! I am 100% sure that this morning it was missing. Probably some server-activated feature

Pixel 7 🀷

Adaptive charging is on or off, no other options in there

Edit: just realised I had an update pending for Android 15

Edit 2: Nope, still the same after system update

[–] NemoWuMing@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Recharge the phone for a few minutes and then check again, it will be there. That's what happened to me and also to my friend.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago

I got the option after rebooting again after the update's reboot

[–] DynamoSunshirtSandals@possumpat.io 4 points 2 months ago

Do iPhones bypass charge when you set a charging limit (or leave them plugged in at 100%) as well?

[–] xep@fedia.io -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Cue GrapheneOS refusing to support the feature in 3...2...1...

[–] MightyCuriosity@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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!

[–] grue@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Will the Pixel 5 get this feature?

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 11 points 2 months ago

It's already out of support so that seems very unlikely
