Go ahead anon, put your $1200 phone on this magnet.
>>29140850ok?are you trying to make some sort of statement or something?
>>29140850OKAY ANON
>>29140850It's a pretty strong magnet. I'll be sure to let you know if it falls off.
>>29140850Why isn't it felt covered like the Tesla ones or any wireless charger in a store?
>>29140850>Car has android auto>Car has wireless charging>Phone overheats when using Android auto and wireless charging at the same timeWhy did nobody tell me about this.
>>29140973That's a modern silicone thing. You might try putting your phone in whatever power saver or low power mode it features, and then cap the battery at 80% charge. You should be capping it at 80% anyway, it makes the phone last years longer.
Is OP so retarded he thinks magnets affect modern phones?
>>29140850My phone doesn't support wireless charging.>>29141055I think he's worried that there is no retention system for the phone, so it will fall off and potentially suffer damage. Which is a valid concern if the phone does not specifically have magnets in it to use such chargers or magnetic accessories, for example newer iPhones. Other phones are mostly plastic, glass, fibreglass, and non or less magnetic metals.
>>29140850I've never bought a phone was more than 300.Its crazy how little you get when you spend more on a phone.Just buy a flagship a few gens out of date. You won't miss anything. They've made ZERO meaningful progress in smartphones in a long time.
>>29141133i did this and it actually has MORE features than most modern phones. the only thing it's a slouch on is the camera is kinda shit, but I have a real SLR and a slightly less real SLR if I need to take real photos of shit (olympus om-d and a nikon 1-j3
>>29140850No. This + usb cable + 3.5mm jack and I'm set.
>>29140973>why did nobody tell me that batteries don't like being used while being charged? A thing everyone has known since rechargeable batteries were first invented?
>>29140850Magnets don't bother solid state devices. Now if you have some chad phone that has a HDD or a tape drive in it I will concede your point.
>>29141133i bought a 100 dollar candy bar phone that has a touch screen and physical keypad, runs off android so i can still get apps on it if i really need to. works surprisingly well.
>>29141294I buy <$50 pre-paid Androids for my carrier at wall market and simply put my permanent SIM in them. Bam, $35 phone on my plan and it'll do anything a $1000 phone does - HD streaming, N64 emulation, whatever. And you can still take the batteries out of some of them.
>>29141296nice, the only reason i didn't get something like that was because i find that smartphones are way too fucken big now. i've cracked the screen on mine because i do all sorts of physical shit while it's sitting in my front pocket.hybrid phones are still a very new thing too, there's not really any options where i'm at for that.
>>29141297>i find that smartphones are way too fucken big nowI do too.>I've cracked the screen on mine because i do all sorts of physical shit while it's sitting in my front pocket.I'm on my 4th, maybe 5th, phone of 2026. Also why I buy $35 phones. I drop them out of my pocket while doing shit. I chuck 'em at walls, I'm looking at the hole I made with my last one right now. xDThey make the money on prepaid phones off the $30/mo fees, but you can simply buy one for $35 and put a regular SIM in it.
I dont get the point of wireless charging, now that most phones can charge 50% or more in 30 minutes by cable. Cant people leave their phone plugged in for that long, or what am i missing?
>>29141299>Cant people leave their phone plugged in for that longNo they can't, the average phonetard can't go more than a few minutes without scrooooling
>>29141301Why dont they charge it at night then?
>>29141302Because they're in bed staying up until 1am scrooling tiktok and instagram shorts, if my coworkers are anything to go by
>>29140989>You should be capping it at 80% anyway, it makes the phone last years longer.explain as if i am a mouth breathing double digit iq "human" on why this is the case
>>29141311A bunch of shit about heat, entropy, and electrolytes.
>>29141313This lithium ion is a bullshit ass technology were forced to deal with in 2026, just change yoyr shit at 80% charging, especially with hiw fastbthese usb chargers go. You can burn up a battery
>>29141299normies just fucking hate cables. i do not know why. but go to any government building made before 2010 and they'll usually have ceiling cable raceways/conduits and normies will flip the fuck out about it about how it makes them feel "poor" or "unsafe". the few goycattle with desktop PCs always use ultra-short cables that have to be hidden even though they cause literal fires. mutts fear even the lowest voltage signal or power lines, let alone muh 65w usb-c
>>29140973Y'all think this big guy will overheat if you charge + use android auto or is it safe?
>>29140973>mark Android auto as a game>Enable passthrough charging
>>29141287>some chad phone that has a HDD or a tape drive in itkekReminds me of the CF card microdrives I used to put in my DSLR 20 years ago, I'd take a picture and if it was quiet hear the HDD spin up and click away. I miss when technology made real noises.
>>29140850OP still living in 2020
>>29141693Probably actually use that meme phone?
>>29141816I miss my OG ipod. Those fuckers had so much goddamn storage with that HDD, it'd honestly still be worth using it if it still worked. I had the 80GB model but they went up to 160GB I believe.
>>29141901I have a working 2nd or 3rd gen ipod and a dead last gen ipod (non-touch), I need to jailbreak it or whatever so I don't need itunes to put my music collection on it and use it in my car. Rebuild parts are still available for them.
>>29141287Old iPods and iPod minis had tiny little mechanical drivespicrel is out of the mini
>>29141901My OG iPod had hard drive failure by '05. I miss the red backlit touch sensitive buttons more than anything. I'm not an Apple fan but at the time it was really cool.For some reason googling "1st gen ipod" gave me almost no pics of the real thing and this one doesn't show the lighting.
>>29140850I’ve never seen a magnet for charging. Mine have always just sat down at the center console. Good for when a cable gets fucked and I still need to charge on a trip.
>>29141901I bought an iPod classic in 2021 with a new battery but the hard drives do not last that long. I wanted to get an SD card installed but am a brainlet and don't trust myself with soldering or anything. What can I do?
>>29141959replacing the hard drive requires no soldering
>>29141311A battery going from 80% to 100% generates a lot more heat than a battery going from 60% to 80%. More of the electricity trying to charge the battery is lost as heat instead of charging the battery.
