plan to buy a pixel just to put Graphene on. Which one do you have and any problems?
Comment on Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update

I got an extra 30% battery life after switching to GrapheneOS. I’m guessing whatever is saving my battery, would also bring down the load on the system.
I did notice my phone heats up much less after switching to GrapheneOS.

I have no recommendations for versions. Depends in your case.
Although I’ll mention that some people don’t like that Pixel by default doesn’t include the bottom menu on the screen, and uses other swiping features on the screen to do the same thing.
However in your system settings you can change the UI to gave the navigation menu at the bottom of the screen similar to Samsung.

String recommend for learning the swipe motions. It takes a few min to learn but it’s free real-estate after that. And it’s faster. At least for me.

I’m happy that you’re happy, but over here I miss the 4 button navigation bar that was standard in ye olde android.

I’ve been runnnng GrapheneOS with charge capped at 80%. Phone has not emulated thermite.
I haven’t found any discussion about the battery issues at GrapheneOS yet.
tamal3@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Meaning you charge till 80% full, or at 80% max charging speed? just curious.
CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world 3 days ago
80% full. It drastically helps extend battery life
pHr34kY@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Yep. It’s the capacity.
Anyone can cap the charging speed by using a garbage $2 700mA charger.

Is this done manually , or there’s a system thing for it ?

I have kinda bad battery issues on graphene and have been having it even on my old pixel 5 (currently on pixel 8a).
Could it be because I use google play services? Maybe I’ll get a huge decrease in battery consumption if I cut this off. But I do need it for maps and stuff
