Rant: My phone's battery was dying by noon until I tried this dumb trick
I read a review for the Pixel 8 that said to turn off 'adaptive connectivity' and I was desperate, so I did it last Tuesday. My battery now lasts until almost 7pm on a single charge, which is a huge change. Has anyone else found a simple software toggle that made a bigger difference than any hardware review promised?

Oh man, that's the real fix right there. I turned off 5G on my last phone and it was the same story, just stopped burning through power for no reason. Software updates can really mess with that stuff.

Honestly I always thought those "one weird trick" things were total nonsense... but my old phone was doing the same thing, dying before lunch. I turned off background app refresh on a whim and it was like getting a new battery. It's crazy how much power those little background tasks use up without you even knowing.
