Data point of one, but I cannot relate to this in the slightest. My Android phone is two years old and I never even check the battery. I don't even charge it at work -- but if that became a problem, I would. Seems like an easy problem to solve.
And who in the world measures their commute in batteries? Ten miles will stay ten miles; half a battery could mean very different things from one day to the next.
(The phone is a Huawei Y7 that I bought in Bogotá in Dec 2017. It wasn't available in the US at that time, and I never really found the specs online -- only for models that seemed likely to be similar.)
- partyboat1586 7y agoDo you by any chance also pack light for trips? Have fairly empty pockets? Genuinely interested.

- Jeff_Brown 7y agoWhat a surprising question. Why? I always have a wallet, keys (in a coinpurse which sometimes has coins too) and a phone, and very rarely anything else. Sometimes I pack light, sometimes heavy -- enough so that I've been made fun of for both. I carry a backpack around a lot, full mostly of a laptop, umbrella and jacket. Bogotá rains a lot.
- partyboat1586 7y agoInteresting, thanks. Asking because I have a pet theory about phone charging anxiety being related being over prepared in general and visa versa.
- svachalek 7y agoYeah, something about the way they use "people" as if it describes absolutely everyone is off, as practically everyone I know (1) considers their phone a necessity and (2) keeps it charged because 1. There's always weird situations like when your kid unplugged your charger etc. etc. but thinking of life entirely in terms of battery anxiety is not something I can relate to.
