Pass this along again, please. I want a wireless charging phone case, but I need actual control over when my phone charges. I only want it to start charging when the battery drops below 15%, but the current battery protection settings are way too limited, and there’s no app workaround. We need full control over minimum and maximum charging thresholds, plus the ability to set specific times when the device can charge itself.
I’ve stuck with Android and Samsung for almost a decade because of the customization. I left Apple exactly because of arbitrary limitations and restrictions.
But if Samsung keeps removing, neglecting, or overlooking basic features—especially ones as critical as battery health and charging controls—then a yearly $1,000+ investment isn’t worth it, and neither is the massive ad spend on your end. I have no problem switching to a non-premium device from another brand that actually gives users control.
And if you need more input, tell the team that I want to be able to completely screw up my experience if I don’t know what I’m doing. If I set my charging threshold to a minimum of 5% and a max of 10%, that’s my problem. Either I have a reason for it, or I’m so tech-illiterate that I shouldn’t be using Android in the first place.
Just put all these advanced settings in a toggle menu like Developer Options. That way, people who just need a basic phone never have to worry about messing something up, and those of us who actually know what we’re doing can use our devices to their full potential.
Forgive me if i sound rude in my wording, but this is actually a really big deal for my age range when it comes to the internet, computers, and just technology in general. Learning is easy and fluid when you can make mistakes. The worst that can happen is you need to factory reset the phone and then learn what that function is used for. Telling your phone not to charge no matter what until its at 10% may seem crazy, but its the option i need if i even want to consider buying a charging phone case, or any of your own wired/wireless charging peripherals that my device will be connected to for extended periods of time. I have the option to not charge when I connect to my PC so it doesnt destroy my battery for 8 hours at work, so why not the wall or a power bank?
