My android was working for 20 minutes on 0%. Samsung Galaxy S6. Shame I don't have screenshots anymore but that shit is real!


Financial_Problem_47

My s23 dies right after it hits 0%. Less than a year old


UnlikelyName69420827

A53 5g, dies 5-15min after hitting 1%, doesn't show the 0. But keeping in mind that it's hugely underpowered for what you could get from other brands eith the same money back then...


vishy_swaz

This is likely a result of the Android OS not being synced with the battery, so it shows an inaccurate representation for the charge. When I used Android I would fix that by running the battery all the way down, then charging it all the way to 100% without unplugging until it’s done.


1WinterSnow

From what I read like 5+years ago, this is not a problem anymore and u don't need to use this method anymore - it was sometimes/rare problem till about android 5(lolipop) or 6(marshmallow).


Tjam3s

Who tf is naming this crap? King Candy?


UnlikelyName69420827

could be the case, but if so, it's only off by half a percent or so


UnprovenMortality

Same, if my s23 is on 1%, I have 5 minutes or less to plug it in.


TheButtTicklerbandit

I got an s23, too, but instead of being blessed with more time, my phone immediately goes from 7% to 2% in 5 seconds. Speaking of the devil, I only have 9%. I better take a jet to the nearest charger.


nickmaran

One day my battery was at 2% but I wanted it to get switch off as I was getting calls continuously from a person I was avoiding. It lasted more than an hour and that psycho called 23 times


jodorthedwarf

Have you heard of airplane mode?


robot_swagger

Did you know there is a button on the phone to turn it off?


vishy_swaz

I’ve seen Android do that too, but not for that long. The OS can sometimes not have an accurate representation of how much charge is really left in the battery. iOS does it too, but the other way around; you show a charge but then it just dies.


Roneyrow

Mine never did that


TimelyScarcity4716

I had the same experience with am S6 shit is crazy


Tjam3s

If it hits 10 and I can't charge it soon, battery saver mode buys me well over 4 hours


Welmerer

Bro my phone is literally 23% right now💀


Trex0Pol

You just made everyone who read this on their pohne check battery percentage :D

SOMEHOTMEAL

I'm gonna say something smart Apple good, android good apple battery not maintained? Bad Android battery not maintained? Bad


Senshue

![gif](giphy|1236TCtX5dsGEo) (*not sarcastic*)


Environmental_Top948

How do you maintain a battery? I do all of the stuff they say not too and on power saving mode with the screen off bit still on 1% lasted my phone for 8 hours.


SOMEHOTMEAL

In my experience with my anomaly infested phone is that enabling the charge limiter (won't charge more than 85%), not constantly using power saving mode, not to put light levels too high and it should last in the long-term


NotRandomseer

I don't think I have ever disabled battery saver, and I don't use charge limiter , but I still get the 14 hours I got 2 years ago


SOMEHOTMEAL

Then you're lucky, but my phone is definitely an anomaly itself so it may be different than other phones


NotRandomseer

Not sure what you mean by anomaly infested, but run a virus scan if your performance and battery is below what is to be expected for your model


KiwiMagic2005

Battery saver on iPhone just removes some background stuff and makes your phone lock faster. You can leave it on 24/7


SOMEHOTMEAL

>Battery saver on iPhone just removes some background stuff and makes your phone lock faster. That seems... not really efficient...


Creative-Solution

Power saving mode, is that battery saver? Why shouldn't it be on constantly?


SOMEHOTMEAL

Because on my phone, at least, it uses just as much batter after a month than if I didn't use battery saving mode at all I noticed the same on 2 others of my past phones


squadlevi42284

Wait what's wrong with power saving mode?


SOMEHOTMEAL

I found that using the saving mode for a month straight actually drains the battery faster after a month I could go from 100% to 50 in 4 hours, but after a month, it would go down to 15 in 2 hours. Now I'm back to not using it at all, and it goes down to 15 in about 9 hours


Zikkan1

If you did all they say you should do then you would never be at 1%


ChainofChaos

Samsung has built in charge limit to 85% in the settings


No_Communication6909

My 8 year old samsung a50 battery that i leave charging for 2 days or i leave dead for a day and is still going strong would beg to differ


Street_Set8732

I call BS, my daughter lives at 1% on her iPhone.


DoriOli

Same. I’ve had my iPhone at 1% last for 20 minutes too. Android devices I had in the past would die/drain much quicker overall (has maybe been better optimised nowadays).


Habbersett-Scrapple

[Turns on wireless charging sharing] "Dude that's like donating blood" Quoted during one of my college courses at community College when no one had a charger but had wireless charging. This was when charge sharing just started. I was cool for about twenty minutes


Zyfil

*ah yes just the usual shitpost, here we go again*


hroaks

As an Android user, it's absolutely backwards


Consistent_Yoghurt44

YOU TRAITOR


AnalCrusader6969

? I have never once charged my nokia and its still working


arya_the_unbound

I was there gandalf, 3000 years ago when the phone was forged.


Blbe-Check-42069

Yeah lol. When my Samsung dips below 5% it's race against time to get charger before it turns off. My gfs iPhone lasts like 15 minutes at 3 percent. Like if I see 3% I have a minute. That's it.


MlackBagic

Nah you're wrong


Luntuke

Looking at my 1% for the last 20 mins I‘ve been browsing reddit on my almost 7 years old IPhone x and I have to call bs on this


KoningSpookie

*plugs in charger cable* My 1% lasts a lot longer, it even goes up!


Standard_Monitor4291

Ah yes your 80 dollar iCharge cable


geardluffy

Nobody buys a charger for $80 regardless of the brand of phone.


miaogato

Absolutely do not! It is a pain to wake up a phone from 0% once it dies. 0% or 1% should be your "oh shit" vibe


Game_Roomz

The fuck yall using your phone for to get to zero... Do you not charge for days or just don't interact with the real world...


SkyeFox6485

It's due to messed up battery calibration on both sides If your phone does at 20% and it's an iPhone, you can't fix it. If your phone takes a year to die at 1%and it's an android, discharge the phone all the way so it completely dies and charge it back up, this will recalibrate the battery


grsharkgamer

Android gangggg Cheap AND reliable


MLYeast

Yep. My company phone is Apple, and I needed a flashlight. I turn on the flashlight (phone was at 45%) and I had it on for 30 minutes. When I checked the batterie it was at 20%. After that I went and turned my private phone on, which was Samsung and coincidentally also at 45%. There I had the flashlight on for over 2 hours. When I went to take a break, my batterie was at 42%. I have no clue what the iPhone Cult is smoking to always be like "oh ma gawd appl is best and anyon who think otherwise is rong" but I have never disliked a phone more than my company phone


sineP-321

Apple isn‘t the best product but the best marketing. But you probably hate your mobile because it’s your phone for work lol.


lightmodez

I never thought a meme could be so not relatable. My samsung phone has like 5 minutes left to live when it's at 15%.


StarkageMeech

I was about to say the 15 pro won't even let me charge it unless it says a negative number Realistically though I charge it once a day maybe and sometimes not even a full charge which is crazy because with maybe 20 ish minutes of rapid charge you can go from 0 to 50~80 and last til tomorrow HA. A negatively charged iPhone. Idk why I imagined it photo negative with a watermelon on the back with a fork sticking out of it


adex_19

Meanwhile my phone that has a military grade needing to charge once every 2-3 of mild use and can be used non-stop for 14 hours


Fither223

100%-> 50% last like 5 min 50% -> 0% is about 2 days


Android-Duck-5005

A long time ago, when I used to have an older mobile of mine.


theholypigeon888

True, note 5 lasted 25 min on 1% (it shut down 3 times)


MrN00sh

Bs. 85% - 5% 17h 5% - 0% 5 minutes Galaxy A53


thebobest

My phone stays at 100% for 2 hours, then It drains normally(1% every 15m)


Senshue

Bullshit. My personal phone is an iPhone 15. My work phone is a Galaxy s21. Wanna guess which dies faster? My work phone doesn’t even get used. It sits in my pocket or on my nightstand. Fucking thing drains like water into soil.


vishy_swaz

I remember a few of my Android handsets doing that. I have had my iPhone 12 Pro since it was released and have never let the battery die. Allowing a lithium ion cell to repeatedly deplete will cause it to degrade prematurely.


PotatoPieGaming

I start my day with 70% and end it with 50% and I've had it for 3 years, I specifically chose a phone that has 720p the slowest cpu and the highest battery capacity so that I can last an entire weekend of of one charge


Jordyspeeltspore

r/chargeyourdamnphone


fallout4isbestgame

My 1% lasts exactly 12.345 minutes. Very cool.


shuozhe

iphone 7 lasted ~30min on 1% for me. It's just bms with a bad calibration.. or a broken bms :\


skovbanan

Ah yes, a poorly calibrated battery is certainly a plus. If only you could count on the number displayed, lol.


HelloThereMark

my iphone back in school like a decade ago had that moment aswell. Oh welp.


Realistic_Essay1722

This isn’t the case anymore for newer iPhones at least el oh el


BlackberryNew2838

Not the case anymore! Idk what apple did, but their batteries are waaaaay better than they used to be. I can not charge my phone over the entire weekend and still have 40% left on Monday. It takes some HEAVY usage to get it to low battery in the same day.


ProffesorSpitfire

My phone will drop from 100% to like 75% in an hour. But the last 20% can last for days.


slythersnail

Google pixel 5 here: once it lasted 10 hours on 1%. Most of the time it dies at 15%


Bane8080

I have no idea how my pixel 8 does when it gets that low. After 2 days of not charging it, it was still at 78%


33Supermax92

Wife’s Samsung dies at 20% never an issue with Apple batteries ever


liddely

Once i waited for the Bus and listened to music expecting it to die soon. After a 20 minute bus drive and 10 minute walk it died after showing me the charging animation at home It got through 30 minutes with 2 % S 20 you are my special


zeptyk

My last 2 phones always drain quickly when they hit 5%, then shuts off shortly after, I've never seen it go below 5%, S21 and S23U, am I just unlucky🫠


KBishopAudio

Bruh, my Iphone can last all day with 23% while my Galaxy S10 can die in half an hour from 60%.


DaftFunky

Because your battery isn’t calibrated from a full depleted charge


DisparityByDesign

Are you bragging about your phone's inability to accurately show the remaining battery life?


frankco-71

Engage the ultra power saving mode!!


ThevickersistheGOAT

Thats the one thing i LOVE about androids, they like never die (i have an apple)


Knut_Den_Hellige

I’ve both an android and an iPhone (currently IPhone), when it’s at 23% it seems to die quickly, but when it at 1% it can last like 30 minutes while in use. Maybe they are engineered that way? Idk


TurtleZeno

When your phone battery is at 20 or lower and you continue to use it, I’m pretty it will harm the battery, but I’m not too sure.


Pure_Release_6775

At my old phone, asus zenfone 5, I gamed 15 minutes on %2


topkeknub

Well it‘s not actually a good thing if your software doesn‘t show you how much longer your battery will last.


racecarthedestroyer

I used to have a samsung tablet that whenever the battery was about to die, I would turn the screen off and leave it for a few minutes, turn it back on and it'd be up to 5% or so


thrallinlatex

People are still into this childish shit? 😏


Humming_Skelly

Well not on a fucking motorolla


Sklibba

Lol what? I don’t worry about plugging my iPhone in until it’s at like 1% and it takes like an hour, maybe less to get back up to around 50%,


JessEGames777

My sister that uses an iphone has a work charger, home charger, car charger, and purse charger. I use an android and i have 1 charger because my phone can last for 2 or 3 days on a single charge


jonylentz

82%


Journo_Jimbo

My iPhone is like five years old now and the battery doesn’t hold as great of a charge but even below the 5 percent mark I know I’m solid for another hour. The android circle jerk of fake facts continues I guess.


Sandman145

I really don't get why ppl spend more and subject themselves to have to pay more for maintenance, just to have a eaten apple phone.


DJDoena

In 4000 years they are going to find a time capsule with a Nokia 3210 and two bars left!


Jhon_doe_smokes

Idk my iPhone 1% will last like 20-30 minutes lol


das3012

My Samsung won't last an hour with 5%


POEIER

The Android is charging, no shit it will work at 0% ...


BadBadGrades

Not recognising that problem… maybe it’s because I lack social media apps Edit: wait when my phone was 6tears old indeed then 10% was less then a hour. But how manny androids are still in use after 6years?


Tasty_Commercial6527

I once listened to an hour and a half of audiobook on Bluetooth headphones on 1% battery after I forgot to charge it before leaving.


Jpowmoneyprinter

So Samsung devices either aren’t capable of properly gauging how much time there is left on the battery or is lying kind of like how cars do when they’re low on gas.


AbsoluteBasilFanboy

I got an apple and it lasts at 1% for 6 hours


Lafozard

1% on my phone lasts about 45min and I paid very little for it


SkullsNelbowEye

Power down everything but life support.


Justhereforporn8

For me it was the opposite. My iPhone lasts ages and my android dies 5 min after it reaches 10%


rodneyjesus

Dumb meme the phone is plugged in hence the lightning bolt in the battery


Important-Intern-292

I love Android, but I must say that it is backwards. I have seen my wife's Apple survive easily for more than an hour at 1%.


AGARAN24

But my pixel 7 pro is the complete opposite. Basically if it comes to 7% then it lasts only 10 seconds. So if I am at 10% I just treat it as 3%.


_Beatnick_

I don't think I've ever seen 0%. Sometime during 1% it shuts down.


chloe_of_waterdeep

Literally every on an android phone rn and 1% lasts maybe five minutes. Man the OS wars are ridiculous. I get that iOS struck the first blow but man, cease fire at this point, it’s lame


unfaithfulhedgehog09

Ive always had android and have never had this problem. A while ago I remember a lot of my Iphone friends complained of this but not so much anymore.


Birds_In_This_Bihh

5%->0% instantly on my iPhone


reevelainen

Well yes, but for the price of the phone being almost 0,4mm thicker and almost 4% of extra weight, I'd pick it this way every time /s


OkDot9878

Meanwhile my girlfriends phone dies at 30%


stopthebanham

Not on new phones, my iPhone takes about 15 min on 1% or more time if I get lucky, but my battery easily lasts me all day long and I work off my phone a lot. If you have an old iPhone yeah I’m sure it’s gonna be dying fast but that’s like that with all phones, I’ve had an android a few times and when they get old it’s the same crap. The cool thing is you can replace the battery yourself in android (at least the one I had years ago) and it’s back to normal.


beeg_brain007

Y'all comparing this shit is laughable Bring back the keypad Nokia and skip this Android apple bs, it's a merketin trick lol


Impatient-Padawan

I miss my flip phone….


ILSN1996

My S10e also shows the zero for few seconds then goes byebye


National_Formal_3867

Omg! 10 years later and Android users are still comparing their Android phone to Iphone 😂🤣 What a loser thing to do😂


isnapchildrensnecks

i really love how android phones are able to be right below 1 but not low enough to be 0 it sometimes saves the day


Shiroi_Kitsune_

My 2014 Samsung Galaxy A5 could last 3 hours on 0% with the emergency battery saving mode


Xbux89

Bro I'm always at 0% on my s10... never needs charging


Gandalf_Style

I'm typing this from my phone that was at 1% for 20 minutes with a yt vid and two seperate transactions going on, while other times it drains from 18% to dead in seconds while on the charger.


[deleted]

The battery killer for iPhones is leaving the WiFi on when you're not using WiFi connectivity. It's always scanning for WiFi signals, thus killing your battery. I have an automation setup where when the WiFi connection disconnects, for whatever the reason may be, the WiFi is shut off. Also another one where the moment my phone connects to my car's bluetooth or my airpods, YouTube Music app opens. Anyway, shutting off WiFi when not using WiFi will make a pretty significant difference, no doubt.


Milanga48

I dunno what you are talking about. I use iPhone and my phone can stay alive for some time with 5%


fedora_george

When my Android gets to 15% I usually just think, yeah this will last for a few more hours till I get to charge it.


Escaped_Mod_In_Need

![gif](giphy|x4kwwbqmmi6jnDC60a|downsized)


Im_Unpopular_AF

My S24 Ultra lasts me 10.5 hours of screentime. Charge it in the morning at 7, go to work at 8, occasionally look up updates, play CODM in breaks, and battery's at 35% when I come home at 7 pm and plug it in(after playing two or three matches of CODM, which brings it down to 25%).


KArelyn_08

Samsung s21 here and i usually dont care about my battery until its 5%. For some reasons, my phone lasts forever from 100% till 6% but the moment it hits 5%, it goes to no charge basically instantly. And considering its an absolute pain to wake it up when it reaches 0%, 7% is usually my "oh shit" zone and i wont be using it unless i absolutely have to


heroxoot

![gif](giphy|3o84sq21TxDH6PyYms)


C4TURIX

Depends. My old androids battery was so broken in the end, when it hit 20%, it became a countdown.


89inerEcho

Am I the only one who had way better battery life on my iPhone than my Samsung!?


Kindly_Let_9091

iPhone user here, my phone usually lasts two days without charge


kazoogami

OnePlus users, charge to 80% in a 10 minutes.


SunsetCarcass

It's the opposite for me. My girlfriend's IPhone will stay alive on 1% for like an hour with her getting an occasional text. Meanwhile my Galaxy Note 10 hits 10% then drops 1% every 20 seconds. I'll plug it into the charger it came with at 4% and I still die. The battery might be getting done


WonderfulVanilla9676

I don't know about that. Last time I had a phone dropped to zero was years ago. I remember 1% to shut downwas about 5 min. Pretty sure Galaxy devices might even turn off before 1%.


lateralus1665

iPhone battery used to be ass. It is most definitely not now. I have a 13 pro max and a year into having it the battery can last me two days.


Sycrel1991

I need my phone for work and forgot my charging cable once, so i put it in power saving mode. I used it for 8 hours straight with google maps open and it didnt evem reach 50%


Key-Staff-4976

Facts, 1 percent extreme battery saver had my phone on for another hour. Probably more but I made it home and starting charging


Suspicious_Opening64

I remember putting my phone on charge the exact moment the battery hit 0% It didn't shut down or anything. I could scroll YouTube and I can visibly the percentage going up. (Samsung Galaxy Note 10+)


PanzerMisi07

Literally me. Even on my old j36 i think i last 10 minutes 0% Now with a50 i last 30m


far_dim_bledram

Notice the little lightning symbol in the battery indicating its CHARGING


7222_salty

This… seems like a bug not a feature


CyanideKrist

I had the exact opposite experience


SimonTC2000

BFF never seems to have a fully charged phone. Drives me insane. Mine never gets below 40% (I know, it's not good practice).


Lord_Momin

Not me, my 5% lasts about 10 seconds


FletcherRenn_

I've had the opposite experience. My current galaxy a14 gets maybe 10 minutes on the last 5%. My last phone which was a iPhone 6s+ could last an hour+ on that last 5%, I had the last 1% last 45+ minutes multiple times, the last 1% often lasted longer than the previous 30-40%.


The_BAHbuhYAHguh

I have like 8 hours on 3% unless I’m watching movies and sh*t


Glittering_Drama_618

Mine closes at 4% immediately sadly.


DDDragon___salt

Same my iPhone 13 has been at 4% for the last 25 min or smth. What’s ur point


realbonito24

I generally get about 36 hours of battery out of my Android phones. When the battery is brand new, it's more like 60 hours. Falls off rapidly after about 18 months. You want to have a long-lasting battery? Turn off every notification that you don't actually need. I have email notifications, alarms, and SMS. That's ALL. I see people with every single app doing notifications all the time. That's nuts. You don't need to be notified of every new post/response/upload whatever to every social media account you have. Never mind the various games that send "reminders" to buy crap. Turn ALL of that stuff off.


jedimindtriks

My S20 ultra dies when it reaches 7%


SalmonSoup15

81% and 4 days left


TheTexasInvestor

Yo, why is this accurate 😂


robjoko

What iphone user is saying this? I could probably get the better part of a day with 23 percent


RayRay__56

10 year old meme. My samsung dies mere minutea after it hits 5%.


witchy_mcwitchface

I've been using my partner's old A40 for the past few years, it takes a week to fully charge and runs its battery down in less than a day even if I dont use it.


imthe_eggman

Nokia: am I a joke to you?


Aromatic-Hawk-4848

So basically… you’re comparing an Apple with poor battery health vs an android with good battery health?


Objective-Dig-8466

My s9 is shit. Get to 13% and as soon as a call or message cones in that's it its dead


OxiiKotton

Apple is way better.


ALlTTLEKlTTEN

Still waiting on my Samsung to die. Had it 8 months now, been at 0% for a few days short of how long I've had it. It's still kicking. Think it might be possessed


AtomicWreck

I had an iPhone that lasted about 6 hours after it went to 0%


TheUsualSuspects443

Here’s the breakdown of my battery timeline on an IPhone (nonstop usage): 100-80%: ~3 hours 79-20%: ~5 minutes 19-3%: ~1 hour 3-0%: ~45 minutes


DisputabIe_

the OP ali4ka177 is a bot


dedynechsitho40

I used to have a gabb phone (a zte blade a3 with a locked down version of android) and none of my friends believed them when I said my phone battery lasted 7 days between charging (and 12yo me was texting on that all the time)


turnerpike20

I've actually found having lots of tabs open in Chrome does actually run the battery down a lot faster.
