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 😅
Because I try to charge my phone when I am in the office, as much as possible. There are no small savings in my book :D
Not necessarily. Many phones will charge more slowly during the night if you set a morning alarm. You could be wearing down you battery when you charge at work.
I charge it during the day at work.
Boss makes a dollar I make a dime…
I don’t want an exploding phone in my bedroom. I charge it at my desk while working
I just turn it off, and it generally need to recharge in the next day afternoon.
I’m worried there’ll be an electrical fault and it’ll start a fire.
I have a wireless charging stand at work, so my phone is nearly 70% charged when I go to bed. No real point to me in having extra clutter on my nightstand.
On the weekends, I’ll charge my phone on the kitchen counter while making breakfast for the kids.
One of my phone’s puffed up while being on the charger at night. Woke up next to a spicy pillow.
I work from home on a desk job. I charge my phone once a day so now I do it at 4pm everyday and follow that cycle.
There’s actually a safety factor there. When Li-Ion (lithium-ion) batteries fail and suffer thermal runaway (fire), it’s most commonly during charging. It’s rare, but it does still happen. The rule is to avoid charging Li-Ion powered devices unattended. I do that at times myself, but I realize the risk and actually put things in a “charging pot” if unattended.
You don’t need anything fancy to use as a charging pot, a ceramic casserole dish will do. If you’re going to charge while asleep or out of the house it’s not a bad idea to use some kind of containment.
I didn’t know about that, now I’m scared.
Don’t be scared, it’s actually a pretty rare occurrence. Just be aware it can happen. Same thing with driving, accidents are rare, but wear your seatbelt.
Sometimes I fall sleep while scrolling or watching something in bed, so no overnight charge
Because I can charge it in my car, at my desk in the office or with my battery pack when I am out.
It doesn’t matter when you got a fast-charge phone.
I read to fall asleep, so my phone usually stays with me in bed. Pro-Tip, if she has an iPhone, set the Sleep focus to turn on at a specific time and enable low power mode.
For many years I always did this for my own android phone in Tasker, and more recently Samsung Modes&Routines, but thank you for this as I just realized I never did the same for my wife’s iPhone
I just fall asleep while watching a yt video of something and the phone is still in my hand.
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
