Ramblings from a mysterious lady who's into tech. Warning I may often create zingers.

It was working before, and is still working now. Grateful for VF's implementation and 'seamless' handover between VoWiFi and VoLTE

It would be magic if it started working on Spark though! 😉

Playing with setting the charge to 85% max.

Otherwise most changes seem to be minimal for me. Gone are the days we're new os brought amazing changes which is a good thing.

I've been using 3C Battery Manager for some time. Set alarm limits for 20% & 80%. Means if I want a full 100% charge I can just ignore the alarm.

Agreed, not a lot to see different (especially as I use Nova Launcher), but the privacy changes are a set further forward. I imagine a lot of changes under the hood.

Ultra updated a couple of weeks ago, Plus in the weekend.

Nokia 6110, 6210, 6234, Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1, Huawei Ideos X5 (Windows Mobile), Samsung Galaxy SIII, LG G4, OnePlus 5, iPhone Xs Max (briefly), S21 Ultra. And I thought I hadn't had many phones - but the first one around 1997.

My S21's screen becomes really dim when the battery reaches 5%. It becomes so dim you can't see anything at all. Does this happen to your S21 too? I've tried finding the option to turn this off with no luck.

Maybe try turning Power Saving off?

Already disabled.

Does no one else experience this?

[Edit: Looks like a known issue. Guess I'll just have to be more mindful not to let my S21 run low on juice.]

Nice, but not a Fan. It doesn't accept S-Pen input, nor is it Dual SIM.
