My pixel 8 throttles as soon as I'm not using WiFi if it's warmer than 21°C outside... It hasn't shown me any warning but it has randomly shut down before.

I'm starting to really dislike android. A lot. Material you isn't picked up by anyone but Google and a few apps here and there.

Stock android is a joke, it barely works.

Pixel flavor android has been the same for three years only adding ai nonsense to the latest releases.

My pixel 8 has awful battery life and gets super hot on light use like, listening to music over Bluetooth.

How the fuck did we end up here. I want a redesign. I want a consistent redesign that doesn't age as badly and quickly as any android design has. Everyone in the design community keeps glorifying material design over iOS but honestly iOS has aged way better than even the newest design of material you...

Do old phones just sound better? in c/android@lemmy.world

Yeah definitely I remember being totally fine watching YouTube videos on my phone speakers on my Nexus 6 and even my OnePlus 5t in the morning before school, but I have a hard time doing anything but tiktok on speakers nowadays, my p6 and my pixel 8 sound completely garbage...

Alright, perfect! The charging pad is also most convenient

I am fine with the battery needing replacement in general, I want to prevent it from getting warm often, so that it doesn't bloat again when it's put of warranty like my P6 did...

But it still quick charges and gets pretty warm until it reaches 80% and then continues an hour before the alarm :/

Same... It should really be a default or a regulation... It also annoys me how flawed the fair phones are as devices...

Most battery friendly charging (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

After 2 years and 3 months my pixel 6 got too hot one too many times while charging and using and the battery expanded. Now I replaced it and got a pixel 8.

Now I don't want that to happen again. I know this chip gets hot when charging. And I don't mind slow charging at all, I'm used to overnight charging.

With my current setup I got a 20w cable charger and a 10w wireless one, and I want to know how to get even slower, less heating charging rates. What adapter brand is reputable, and is the slowest, battery friendliest that's still reasonable for use... If this phone also just lasts me 2 years instead of the 5 that I'm gonna get os updates I'm gonna be mad... I'm okay with a battery replacement in general after a while but that isn't really doable if the entire case is bent like it is on my P6...

Ohhh thats such a useful resource! I'll try it on my OP5t and if it works I might switch over and get rid of Google services finally

Edit: Oh graphene is pixel devices only? Dang... Might be tok risky for me then

Does graphemeOS give complications with banking apps?

Last time I used a custom ROM I was locked out of online banking, which is quite the deal breaker for me...

If it isn't I might just give that a try

My phone history is

-samsung gamaxy S3 mini

-Nexus 6 (2014/15?-2017)

-oneplus 5t (2017-2021)

-Pixel 6 (2021-now)

So I don't change out frequently either but I do think this will be my shortest time if using a phone this far.

The type of ads are really frustrating (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I get the reason for there being Ads in the sync app. I don't have the funds to pay for ultra and that's also fine.

But what I find concerning is the type of ads I see. I live in Germany for clarification and most of what I see are websites acting like news sites (right leaning at times). When I accidentally tap on them my browser immediately blocks the website for unsafe practices on their end.

Now I really don't mind the ads in apps if it's the usual app ad, random products or Amazon type of things. But I hate it when every ad is a boomer ass clickbait ad about how solar energy is definitely worse than anything else.

This is my main complaint about sync right now and it might push me to stop using it again as the ads are also very frequent...

What's a good place to keep up with lore? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

Back in the day I was a huge TES lore nerd. And recently I've been researching some old videos I know from back in the day with my wife cause she has an interest in the lore.

Now we're watching through the old shoddycaat lore season 1 playlist right now as I remember it being amazing basic information to get into specific events from and actually kinda know what's happening.

Once we're done there what's a great way to get lore nowadays? And how does ESO play into the canon?

Since I haven't played much of ESO I don't even know what's canon and what isn't but the stories from it I know we're already established lore when the game launched. Namely the couldharbour anchors and molag bal invading tamriel with them
