NothingButACommodity [it/its]
Ok, maybe that really is the root of the problem then. According the battery replacement vids I watched, it is a pita, but I could probably do it. Most of them say specialized tools are necessary but I think I could do it with regular tools from my toolbox and a heat gun.
I did go into developer mode and looked at some battery health stats but it didn’t really tell me anything I didn’t already know. I will try dialing that code though… interesting.
I’ve restarted it many times, put it in safe mode, etc. It made no difference. But I haven’t done a factory reset yet. I also deleted nearly all the apps that didn’t come preinstalled, but yeah, maybe one of those are causing it. Safe mode is supposed to help with that by turning off all non-essential apps, but like I said, the problem is no different in safe mode.
That makes sense, but even when it’s plugged in and says the battery is at 100%, it makes no difference as far as how lagged everything is. I guess a battery replacement is still worth a try, but it would piss me off to spend the money on a new battery and go through the trouble of installing it for it not to work.
The battery usually dies (the phone turns itself off) somewhere around the 60-70% mark, and it gets there after only 10 or 15 minutes if I have the screen on. But it’s weird because when I plug it in before booting up, it will show a completely different percentage like 30%. I have put it into battery-saving mode, messed around with different battery settings and stuff, but none of it makes a difference as far as the lagging and slow response.
I’ve considered doing a factory reset, but I’m hesitant for the exact reason you mentioned. It’s also difficult to even back it up because it’s so slow, but I did save all the pictures I took on it to my laptop (and then deleted them on the phone to free up space). I suppose I will try that if nothing else works, because it’s not really usable anyway.
Thanks for the info. I found a few youtube vids of people replacing the battery on that model and I was considering doing that, but I’m not going to bother if the phone is so slow and laggy I can’t even us it. But if I am able to solve that problem somehow, I will definitely check out that guide. I think the battery is a separate issue because I’ve been dealing with that for a while now, but the lagging thing just cropped up out of nowhere all of a sudden. I could be wrong of course.
Seriously tho, what is the origin story with that? I get mixed lies and slander searching for it. Did Xi ever at any point express annoyance with being compared to WtP or something? Why was there even a comparison? I know beyond all doubt that the character is not banned in China even tho all the libs insist he is because ebil “oriental” dictator.
If I had any skill, I’d make an image of “old man Simpson shakes fist at cloud” with a weather balloon obviously, but also with a saber, one that’s rattling at said balloon, in Abe’s hand. Eh, the jokes probably been made over and over again already anyway.
