other people are addressing clothing, so - regarding your phone and chargers:

  • your phones shit themselves - RAM is a big issue (my phone has 4gb, fucking Android itself takes up 2+) along with apps sneakily running in the background (any food or grocery things that give you coupons are probably doing background stuff consistently)

  • your chargers melt - this is terrifying to read and I will happily scrape together some money for you to buy a nicer charging brick - please do not fuck around with cheapo chargers, your life is worth the extra $5 and I will happily give you the money to buy a safer one

Is there any way to tell if they’re doing stuff and restrict them? With or without root?

You basically just have to assume that they are doing crap in the background unless you get one of those de-googled custom roms that runs google play crap in a sandbox.

I gained like 10% battery per day by uninstalling a few of them.

I think foss apps like Netguard and Trackercontrol would be useful to use if they connect to the net.

Restrict them

The same apps can be used to restrict connections.

Android app preferences can be used to restrict background data and background battery usage too.

And if you want to remove unwanted apps that can’t be directly uninstalled, you can use the Android debloater.

I wish I knew, I gave up on figuring it out and decided it would be easier to just delete all the apps and only reinstall them briefly when I need them.
