People who don't charge their phone at night... Why?
My wife's phone dies every. single. day. and I don't know why she doesn't just charge it at night.
I'm just wondering how people live like this 😅
You're viewing a single thread.
I thought you're not supposed to keep things charging after they reach full battery. Also I don't have a plug near my bed lol
Recent smartphones learn your patterns and don't fill up until the morning. For instance my phone currently is stuck at 80% and says it'll be fully charged at 7AM
Hm maybe I need to find that in my settings, or my phone is too old. That's pretty cool though.
For Android, the feature name is "Adaptive Charging".
I myself use an iPhone 11 on iOS 16, but I know Android has a similar feature :)
That's...weird. Patterns change and maybe I need my phone charged earlier than that. Never heard of this.
My Pixel has the option to only do it when I have an alarm set, and it reaches full charge about 15 minutes before my alarm goes off.
I really wish this worked for times other than the mornings. I work in the late evenings most of the time, so thus its pretty normal for me to wake up at 9PM (like today) - however, the only time it ever seems to do the trickle charge is for when I set an alarm for say 10AM and plug my phone in at 3AM.
Works If you have the same routine everyday
It's not about the phones learning the patterns, which as you've said recent phones have corrected that, but due to energy sustainability and trickle charging (once it's fully charged, it will keep energy flowing in order to keep itself fully charged, or to keep itself at 85% as other comments have indicated) - you should unplug once it's fully charged in order to conserve electricity. A phone may not seem like much, but every bit counts and it permeates throughout the rest of your personality/devices and adds up, especially when everyone does it.
I charge my phone when it needs it and unplug it when it's done. Sometimes that lasts two days, sometimes it's half a day, sometimes I plug it in first thing in the morning, sometimes I plug it in while I'm driving home at night.
