Is there a way in android to tell the phone to charge slower? If I plug into a QC3 port the phone gets hot and I really don't want to be taking life out the battery when I'm not in a rush.
@quixoticgeek
I don't know of a OS charge throttling either, if I have a lot of time I plug it into a computer of mine to charge it, or use an older PSU
@quixoticgeek Not as far as I'm aware, and I agree, it's a sorely needed feature.
Also, the ability to charge to a defined percentage then stop, and run the phone off the charger instead of the battery.
@quixoticgeek @kim_harding You can get a charger with low amperage no?
@quixoticgeek I think there is an app that can do that, but the downside it that the phone has to be rooted. Sorry, probably not much help
@quixoticgeek My Pixel has a feature called "adaptive charging" in settings that does basically this. Tho I don't get much control over it, it charges slower during regular overnight charging and such where it expects it has a lot of time to finish.
Looks like there are differently named flavors for this. I would prefer a simpler go-slo throttle like you described.
""Adaptive Charging" is the name of the feature on Google Pixel phones. OnePlus devices have a similar feature called "Optimized Charging." Samsung Galaxy devices call it "Adaptive Battery" and also have a feature that allows you to cap the battery at 85% all the time. (The iPhone has a similar feature named "Optimized Charging," too.)"

@gl33p yeah. Looks like my fairphone doesn't support it :(
@quixoticgeek crude: use a dumb 2 wire charging lead? I think I've some where the phone never ever rapid charges
