Put phone down on wireless charger. Charging notification lights up. Go to sleep. Wake up. Check phone. Is at 2%. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Fucking. Wireless. Chargers.
Pssst
got something for ya:
\
You know, I think it’s something with the formatting here where it makes the slash disappear. Not sure what syntax I’d need to use to make the whole thing appear properly.
Two slashes
It’s a markdown dialect, \ is the escape char, so you need to escape it :)
Same as r*ddit in that regard.¯\(ツ)/¯
Except double slashes makes the underscores disappear.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So… it looks like adding a slash before the slash and before each underscore does the trick. Thanks!
Markdown uses underscores for italic, which is why they also need to be escaped with backslashes.
Although I know this, I cannot remember where I need to escape. So I just have two custom autocorrections:
shrugwhich yields the regular (and broken on Lemmy) ¯_(ツ)_/¯ for general use andshrugmdwith the markdown variant for the use on e.g. Lemmy: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯In the end it’s:
shrug: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ shrugmd: ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯Only need the 3 slashes on the right arm, like so:
¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
You might want to look into Qi 2 chargers if you’re having alignment problems. Magnets snap the phone into the correct location.
And if your phone doesn’t have the alignment magnets, you can get a magnet ring to put on your case, OR, you can get the greatest phone grip I’ve ever used, which lets you charge through the grip (if your case is thin enough).
Compatible with all MagSafe and Qi2 alignment magnets. Fantastic phone grip. I love it very much.
That hinge is pretty dope, but I wonder how much that slows the induction charging. It adds a fair amount of distance between the charger and phone’s coils.
I haven’t noticed it being too slow, but if I’m being honest I mostly don’t pay attention to wireless charge speeds. Either it’s sitting on a MagSafe charging dock overnight or it’s attached to a Qi2 charger (with a shitty 3D printed stand I designed) on my desk, and speed isn’t the priority in either case. When I’m trying to charge quickly I use a wire.
I will say that Qi2 charger gets HOT, but the MagSafe one doesn’t, oddly enough. Both are made by Anker and both should be pumping 15 watts, so I’m not sure what the difference is besides the standard.
Luckily fast charging gives me at least enough to make it half the day in the time it takes to get dressed.
I rolled over my charger end in my office chair. Now it’s 50/50 whether it’s charged in the morning. :(
Not too long ago I had bought a power bank, for a holiday, and since returning I’ve found myself occasionally using it when I’ve done something a bit worse than this: I’ve been so tired before bed, I’ve forgotten to even plug my phone in!
I think I’ve used the power bank, after waking up, more at home than on holiday.
Unfortunate that this won’t help Android users, but I had a trove of lint stuffed up my iPhone port, and the Apple Store cleaned it out for free.
You can do that yourself with the sd slot opener they give you in your phone box.
You can do it yourself with a toothpick or compressed air, but it often won’t get everything especially if it’s deeply packed. They apparently have special tools for it.
Those metal Bobby pins broken in half do wonders. Nice sharp hook for scrapping and unpacking the lint.
Just don’t scrap it across the connector pins. It would probably be fine but that’s never where the lint ends up.
Having a phone that charges 0-100% in a little less than 30 minutes has really changed my charging habits lmao. I don’t know this pain anymore
This happened to me five days ago.
OnePlus charges so fast this isn’t a problem anymore
I bought a $35 battery pack that has enough to get me at least one full charge, and I never worry about this anymore.
On the positive side, at least you didn’t electrocute yourself trying to charge a phone.
Its a blessing that where i live has chargers at every seat on the train. Plugged it into the fast charge and it was up to 50% when i got off from the 5% i started with.
When this happens to me 9 times out of 10 there is a build up of lint in the charging port.
Fairphone just get one out the drawer, That I also didn’t charge
Degoogle and you might not have to worry so much about battery life. I almost never have to charge mine overnight, just once every couple days when it gets low.
