Use case it should always be at 80% unless I'm going out for a long time, in which case I let it go to 100%. Phone is not smart enough to know when I suddenly have to go out for a long time.

All Tesla's work that way (recommended 80% unless you are going for a long trip then 100%). I've been charging my phones this way for 10 years and the batteries were nearly perfect after 5 years.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] danw_oz:
I still have a HTC Desire that was just charged normally, and the battery life on this is the same as 13 years ago, to be honest out of all the phones I have had, the only one that had battery issues was an old Blackberry where the battery swelled up.

Sony Xperia Z3 still works and charges/battery life as expected.

Sony Xperia Z5 still works and charges/battery life as expected.

Pixel XL, still works and charges/battery life as expected.

Pixel 6 Pro, still works and charges/battery life as expected.

Pixel 7 Pro, still works and charges/battery life as expected.

So not sure what additional life you are expecting to get, the biggest killer of lithium batteries is battery stored at too high or low charge, that of course is with no use.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] johnsmallberries:
Google says the following, taken from https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/10011133#zippy=,charging-temporarily-limited-pixel-later

One thing that I have noticed when forcing the 80% limit, is that the optmized charging takes affect below that limit. For example it may not charge past 67% until you override it. It's possible that the logic looks at the 80% limit as "full" for the purposes of their optimization calculations.

Interestingly, the override doesn't seem to work. I had to reboot the phone, which google seems to have listed as a possible resolution. Also from the link above:

This does not always seem to work. If anyone does limit the battery to 80 and is able to force it to chrage to 80 without a reboot it would be good to post that information here.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] snovvman:
Thanks for sharing the observation. When I get around to trying it, I will report my experience.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] CarlosTime:
I managed to limit the load of my pixel to 80% with the Magisk ACC module.

GitHub - VR-25/acc: Advanced Charging Controller

Advanced Charging Controller. Contribute to VR-25/acc development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

Then, you use a terminal in su mode to configure it. In termux is " su" and then "acc 80 75" if you want it to stop charging at 80 and start charging again at 75.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] CarlosTime:
By the way... With acc module... It's a permanent solution.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Zilla0617:
What switch are you using to stop the charging at 80%? Thank you
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Not So Pro:
I would also like to know which switch you are using. I've tested several with no success on my P8P.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] johnsmallberries:
I have one of those USBC current monitors and what I've noticed is that when you set charge_stop to 80 and then the battery is a bit below 80, such as 68 or so, the phone does not pull any current. Pressing "charge to full" doesn't work.

To get it to actually start charging again you have to set charge_stop to 100 (not 99 or 98, but exactly 100). This seems to trigger something that causes the phone to resume charging, then once it has begun charging you can set it back to 80 and it will charge up to 80.

[edit: if you don't have a inline usbc current monitor you can use

cat /sys/devices/platform/google,battery/power_supply/battery/status

to see if the battery is actually charging ]

Also at some point I think if the battery is significantly low then it will charge on its own back up to 80, but I haven't had the phone long enough to figure out what that level is.

Maybe it's a bug and maybe the ACC thing is better. I will try that.

sys/devices/platform/google,charger/charge_stop_level 80

This works on my p8 pro
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] snovvman:
When your phone charges to 80, does it remain on 80, or does it start to drain down even when the charger is connected? I'd like to understand if this command causes the phone to run off of the charger (and disconnect the battery) once it reaches the set limit. I know @johnsmallberries was looking into this with ACC, but now sure about this command. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] zellleonhart:
I replied to snovvman in another thread, the switch that works for P8P to enter idle mode correctly is /sys/devices/platform/google,charger/charge_stop_level 100 battery/capacity.

Make sure you use the latest ACC module (16 October 2023) and also append Spoiler content hidden. to the switch so that it does not automatically cycle to other switches. E.g. the command to set to the above is

acc -s s="/sys/devices/platform/google,charger/charge_stop_level 100 battery/capacity --"
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Admiral2145:
It holds at 80
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] johnsmallberries:
In addition to charge_stop_level, try setting charge_start_level to a few integers below your stop level, for example :

charge_stop_level=81

charge_start_level=79

For me that seems to fix the problem where the phone doesn't resume charging. The default of charge_start_level is 0 which might mean something other than what you think it means.

This thread on the pixel6 has more information and probably applies to the pixel 8.

How to limit charging on Pixel 6

With credit to VR-25 from Github: If you edit these files and put you own values in then your phone will start charging when it drops below 75% and stop when it gets to 80%. (put your own values in, etc.) I have only tested it briefly but it...

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] snovvman:
I am still using the echo > terminal commands because I am trying to avoid the need to install another module (ACC). I am running into a strange issue similar to what @johnsmallberries pointed out:

I am using this exact command and Adaptive Battery is turned off.

However, every time I plug in the charger, adaptive charging pops up and even if I select "charge to full", the phone does not charge at all, even if I wait overnight. The battery can be at 20--40% battery, not hot, so there is no reason for protection to kick in. However, I have to reboot each time for the phone to start charging.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] johnsmallberries:
You need to also add:

echo 79 > charge_start_level

It doesn't matter if adaptive charging is on or off.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] snovvman:
Thanks. I applied this last night and will try it once I need to charge again.

Are you saying that, with the above setting, it matters not if adaptive charging is "on" and I will not need to select "charge to full"?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] johnsmallberries:
Yes.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] TambourineMan:
I too would like to almost always limit my charging to 80% almost all the time (except planned long days) and not just the few scenarios that Google does this automatically. The alerts when 80% is reached don't work when I'm asleep as they are not loud enough and additionally I do not want to be awakened. I also am not thinking of rooting at this time..

So I discovered a non-root work around that I am in the process of trying to setup - at tes link below. This involves IFTTT and MacroDroid tied to a smart plug for the power adapter.

MacroDroid Forums-using IFTTT to stop phone charger if battery hits 80% by controling a smart wifi outlet with tuya smart life

Hi everyone, I thought I would share a recipe I just gave to someone who was asking: 1) setup your devices in tuya smart app. 2) setup an IFTTT acco

www.tapatalk.com
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] WibblyW:
Another non-rooted option, though far from free and more than a smart plug, that I've found effective is a Bluetooth controlled hardware switch between charger and phone. (I have no affiliation with the supplier, I'm just a customer). Doesn't require an internet connection (to IFTTT)

Chargie - limit phone's nighttime charging to extend battery lifespan

A regular smartphone battery loses up to 20% of its capacity per yeardue to overnight full charging. That’s a fact. I invented Chargie to fix battery life. a project ofOvidiu Sandru founder & CEOLighty Gadgets LLC Twitter Linkedin really smart charging What is it? Chargie is an easy to usepower...

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] BillGoss:
I've created a Magisk module for myself so that my battery charging limit is set when the phone boots up. The service.sh script includes these lines:

# Set the charge_stop_level on the P8P
echo 87 > /sys/devices/platform/google,charger/charge_stop_level
# disable adaptive charging
settings put secure adaptive_charging_enabled 0

On the days that I want to fully charge the phone (once a week - mainly to reset the battery stats) I run this command su -c echo 100 > /sys/devices/platform/google,charger/charge_stop_level, connect the phone to the power supply and reboot it. The phone will come up charging to 100%. And the charging limit will also be set back to 87 because of the Magisk module service script.

On "normal" days I connect my phone to the charger, turn off adaptive charging (for some reason the phone always seems to enable adaptive charging even though I've disabled it in the service script) and reboot (or the phone doesn't start charging). The phone will then charge only to 87%.

One last thing: I use the Aida64 app from Play Store to see what the battery's current charging rate (mA) is.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] jljtgr:
I personally use a Tasker project for a bit of UI. Tasker's AutoNotification to create a quick-tile to toggle it on-demand and a Tasker profile to set a default upon bootup. In the end, it just runs the same root commands everyone else has shared here.

Moving from a Pixel4XL to Pixel8Pro, and Android 14... I did have to fiddle with things more and use TaskerSettings to run the commands after setting extra perms through ADB. Sadly, every year Google makes things harder in the name of security while not providing alternate methods to the things they lock down.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] BillGoss:
I found that the phone wouldn't reliably start charging if I had the stop level set. Sometimes simply connecting it to the charger would work, at other times I would have to reboot the phone.

Then I found out that by setting the stop level to 100 the phone would start charging as soon as I plugged it in.

I also got fed up of having to check if the phone had finished charging. So I wrote a shell script (because I use Termux a lot and didn't want to install another piece of software) to:

- set the stop level to 100

- set the stop level back to my limit once the charge value was reached

- play a sound to let me know.

The script is attached.

[XPERIA X1 General] AvinashDhaniraj:
Hi all,

Thought I'd share this with all the X1 fans!

Firstly I am not affiliated to Inesoft in any way.

I tested Inesoft software for the Xperia X1:

http://www.inesoft.com/eng/index.php?in=phone.html

Works beautifully on landscape and portrait. Also replace the "Phone" software. I've been looking for a great Phone app for years, and I must admit that this is really brilliant!

Try it out!

Kind regards,
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Definitely is... i have been using since a while now and performance is superb!
[XPERIA X1 General] norti:
+1 for the Inesoft Phone 4 :) It's fantastic, worth the money!

I tried different full screen caller id softwares for the X1 like Photocontacts, S2U2, etc but Inesoft is the fastest and feature richest so far. Ringtone sound level is fluctuating but I think this will be fixed in the future (or is this not Inesoft's fault?).
[XPERIA X1 General] nurps:
What is Inesoft Phone doing better than Photocontacts? Whats the caller ID photoresolution for Inesoft Phone?
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Haven't tried Photocontacts, so can't say about that... but Inesoft is better than anything else that i have tried. Most of them are too slow or buggy to use while others don't look good or have little to offer.

Looking at the screenshots of Photocontacts... i have to say that Inesoft is a winner of it as well - by looks alone.
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Nope... no problems at my end. What version are you using? the latest release (4.4) resolves a couple of bugs/issues with the software.
[XPERIA X1 General] norti:
Photocontacts is mostly for caller id and imho with a very standard and poor interface. Inesoft's GUI is a lot nicer (support real skins too) and it can handle (edit) contacts, has favorites view, nice dialer with customizable T9 search (v4.4) that searches in all name field of the contact details, nice call history with sms preview, phone profiles, customizable ringtones per contact or category and so on. Read the features on their page and try it :)
[XPERIA X1 General] Mark A Cilenti:
After reading some of these recommendations I think I will try Inesoft, but I gather its not free.

The best of the free iv come across so far is PocketCM 0.27 with the Modiefied Black Diamond II skin, which was modified for the Touch HD, fanstatic smooth scroll, fits in well with Touch 3D.

Also, when i hit the call button to check voicemail the inesoft dialpad shows up as expected, but as i press and hold 1 there is no further action. how do you guys check your voicemail with the inesoft full version?
[XPERIA X1 General] vwrmic:
Yes that's how it's supposed to be. Inesoft are supposed to be adding there own dialpad in the next release. The problem they are having at the moment (so they say on their forum) is the 3G video calls. So we'll have to wait and see...

does anyone know of a work around for this? or is there a better software round that will work with spb shell ... the contacts there is good just the caller id is rubbish (as its the standard one for X1)

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] axxlgothika:
Hi all, just factory reset my Redmi Note 10 Pro without the SD car inserted. all good and lovely until I realised that NO media fikes can be read on the SD card by either media app/player. File explorer sees the SD card and I can go in folders, it will even play songs separately, but the SD card is just not read by any media player or the default Mi Music player. I formatted the SD card, nothing.. anyone come across this issue?

just to mention that there is NO .nomedia file in any of those folders..

*Edit

Tried installing several file managing apps, it finds other folders on the SD card but not the music and DCIM contents. Tried copying a couple of songs on the internal partition and it works fine, there are no .nomedia files and it is really really strange. Will look at the SD card inside a PC to see what might be wrong tomorrow.

*Edit 2

Inserted the SD card into a different Xiaomi phone (Redmi Note 8) and it works just fine. Really frustrating, the phone was factory reset, nothing was added or removed (not rooted).
