Then 500M people complaining on Reddit that their phones only charge to 80% for some reason.
- mc32 6y agoAnd then they’ll do the same thing they did to the antenna signal strength bars and fake it to make people happy...
- leetcrew 6y agoyou can mostly fix this issue by hiding the option in "developer settings". on android, there's a lot of weird stuff buried in here but you never hear people complaining about it.

- arprocter 6y agoThey could probably get away with changing what is technically 95% to read as '100' I realised the other day that Macs don't give 'battery time remaining' anymore, although I'm not sure when that was removed Edit: apparently you can still see time remaining in Activity Monitor

- Slartie 6y agoEasy: make the charge percentage display relative to the maximum configured charge. Just like it already is with battery deterioration over time: if my battery only holds 80% of its design capacity, the phone will still tell me to be 100% charged as soon as the battery hits that 80%-of-design-capacity-brick-wall. I just want the option to manually move that brick wall down a bit (they're already telling me exactly where it is right now, on iPhones at least, on the MacBook I ask coconutBattery).
- overcast 6y agoThen they'll be complaining their phone only lasts 8 hours before a charge instead of 10.
- Slartie 6y agoIf they do that after deliberately reducing their maximum charge (a setting which would probably come with a warning that reduced runtime of the phone is the result of doing it), they'll probably also complain that their internet speed has gone down after disabling the LTE/4G option (actually that does seem to be even less transparent, because not everyone knows that LTE is faster than 3G). Didn't stop Apple from offering a switch to disable LTE/4G.
