back off on higher and higher power draw in phones.

Thanks for the reminder to revisit my Droid's developer options and ensure my background processes are restricted to 4 at most.

Anyway, less cycle life is disturbing. Why they don't try LiFePO4, I don't get.

    LFP has about 2x less energy density unfortunately. It's a lot cheaper and lasts longer so it's great for home storage and competitive for lower cost EVs. But phones are all about power hungry bloated apps and web sites.

    No chance these background processes are a relatively simple change for us less technical folks, hey?

    enable developer settings on android and just set it.

    I think it's different for all phones, but on my Samsung, I go to about - > software information in settings and press the build number a couple of times until developer mode enables. then, just set max background processes. doesn't even take 5 minutes to do lol
