My phone is on the cusp of running out of battery all the time but no fault of my own, it’s charge is abysmal.

  • charge my phone erry day
  • wait until it’s at <5% and then deal with it
  • no set routine but will preemptively charge when it is convenient to do so
  • well done for reading this far down this extremely boring poll

current phone will typically end the day on >60%

rarely under 20%

still gets charged nightly

I don’t take my phone out of the hosue with me, it’s too crap to use properly, just leave it on charge and get messages through whatsapp.

Sadly my headphone port on the old ipod touch is going a bit dodgy so I have to rely on wireless headphones now, they’re so convenient I wish everything was wireless

Mine is shit (Samsung S8). Charge every night to 100% and come 6pm it is usually around 20% so unless I charge it during the workday it’s useless by the end of an evening out. Always carry an external battery these days

I do use Bluetooth headphones though (sorry audiophiles)

I don’t listen to music on my phone. Am I mental?

Well, it plays through the bluetooth in my car, but that’s not what we’re talking about. Listen on headphones at work but that’s my laptop.

I have not yet lost a laptop.

Charge my phone at least five times a day? Gets charged over night, will plug it in to my laptop or car and will always have a battery pack on me. Don’t know how some of you are getting through a day without a charge.

I have lost 1 phone and that was over 18 years ago now

I left it in a taxi in a drunken stupour but called the cab company the next day and got it back

what does that count as?

was thinking about my atd and recently ex housemate that has gone through 4 phones in the two years i’ve lived with him - 2 of which he destroyed by walking into the sea with it in his pocket - and how this sort of behaviour was maybe the crux of why I couldn’t live with him anymore. he’d also do things like lock himself out of the house on a weekly basis. guaranteed to have a message once a week asking if I was in the flat or not. regularly just left shits in the toilet too. weird thing is, he was mega organised when it came to things like his work or going on holiday. literal minute by minute itineraries for trips, which also drove me crazy. things like ‘we’ll do this for 2 hours and then chill at this viewpoint for 25 minutes, and then walk back to the car which will take us 12 minutes’ etc.

genuinely can’t get my head around this sort of lassez-faire attitude to everyday life.

absolutely not irked by this person. (great guy, but fuck, wouldn’t live with him again if you paid me)

what kind of phone do you have?

are you constantly using it to stream music/video throughout the day?

#37

for the record, never lost a phone. broke one by standing on it in a uniqlo changing room, which was one of the worst times of my life.

#38

i’d happily say that counts as you being an IDIOT

#40

have broken I think 3 laptops by tearing the power lead from the ac/dc jack, sometimes breaking/damaging the motherboard. Then never getting fixed/attempting to fix. I just pray for you your charge is at the back

iPhone which I guess is coming up for 2 years old in November. I do use it a lot to be fair.
