I hate this. I was a holdout with an LG G5 (last flagship-esque phone with a removable battery), and went through three battery replacements until the GPS antenna failed, and now I have an LG V35 with a potted battery.
I wasn't able to find a way to configure the charge controller with software, so now I just never plug in overnight and try really hard to manually unplug it before it reaches ~70 or 80%.
This works... The phone is ~2.5 years old and the battery is still fairly close to nominal capacity. I just wish it wasn't such a pain.
This "new" phone is also well out of the support window, so I haven't gotten Android or security updates in over a year, and it had limited enough release that custom ROMs are not an option. With LG leaving the market, I'm considering gritting my teeth and getting an iPhone when this one dies, if only for the longer software/security support window, which feels absolutely ridiculous.
- Scene_Cast2 5y agoIf you're rooted, you can use Advanced Charge Controller App. Gets you a charge limit and charge rate throttling.
- jve 5y agoPerhaps buy an old school timer outlet and before charing, set it to turn off after x mins. I think you can estimate how much time it does take to charge from x to 80. Or for folks who have home assistant and some controllable socket - automation should be possible as mobile phone reports battery charge!
