Qualcomm’s tepid sales forecast pushed shares down 8 per cent amid weak smartphone demand, especially in China, which accounts for 60 per cent of company sales.
What did you do to your phone’s battery? I’ve got my phone for two and a half years and I still get decent runtime out of it.
And I agree… if the only innovations these days involve adding new cameras and removing other common features (like headphone jacks…) I don’t really see the point in upgrading.
An update from a previous Android version to a newer one borked the battery life. It’s been noticeably worse than when new. It has times when it just heats up because the CPU is going better, but the actual load is minimal.
It’s done because this phone has battery saving features, like you can set it to only charge up to 80%. Over time the max battery life has taken a moderate hit. It’s not that it’s not tolerable, it’s just that I wanted to refresh. Also I kind of messed up my headphone jack, I thi k the ground contact broke, and I already ordered the replacement parts so I want that installed anyway, so I might as well put in a new battery.
