I charge my phone at work ...

Because I try to charge my phone when I am in the office, as much as possible. There are no small savings in my book :D

I just fall asleep while watching a yt video of something and the phone is still in my hand.

Fire hazard.

I charge it at work while I'm (mostly) conscious. xD

I charge it during the day at work.

Boss makes a dollar I make a dime...

Keeping Lithium-ion batteries at 100% charge will reduce their lifespan. They want to live in the 40-80% range. I use an app that notifies me when my phone has charged to 80%, so that I can unplug it. It may be overkill, but I plan to use this phone for 9 more years or so.

I used to never charge my phone at night, because of my battery health pedantry. I the found the AccA app which enables me to limit the maximum charging, so now I sometimes leave it changing during the night.

I wfh and charge during work

I feel this pain. Wife's battery-powered devices are always in a constant state of dying. Something has convinced her that it's better to let the battery almost! die, then charge it to full, but not leave it plugged in because that will degrade the battery; meaning it never gets charged overnight. I'm sure there's a small kernel of truth in where she learned that, but it's almost a joke at this point when she goes scrambling for her charger when using her phone, tablet, etc. It's painful, but also adorable? I guess. Anyway, it's not a hill I'm willing to die on, so I just let it be and laugh almost everytime it happens.

when i see people's phones constantly at, like, 12%, it drives me crazy.

Like, you went through your day exhausted and want to finally make a decision to go to bed for yourself, but no you have to remember to connect the USB cable.

Get her a wireless charger stand.

they forgor

I forgor 💀

There's actually a safety factor there. When Li-Ion (lithium-ion) batteries fail and suffer thermal runaway (fire), it's most commonly during charging. It's rare, but it does still happen. The rule is to avoid charging Li-Ion powered devices unattended. I do that at times myself, but I realize the risk and actually put things in a "charging pot" if unattended.

You don't need anything fancy to use as a charging pot, a ceramic casserole dish will do. If you're going to charge while asleep or out of the house it's not a bad idea to use some kind of containment.

I have a wireless charger on my desk, pretty much almost every day I already have 100% when going to bed

I thought you're not supposed to keep things charging after they reach full battery. Also I don't have a plug near my bed lol

I don't want an exploding phone in my bedroom. I charge it at my desk while working

Because i charge it before i go to sleep?

I got a Oneplus that charges at 65w so I don't have to leave it plugged in overnight. I just charge it 15min while shaving or whatever.

I do generally charge my phone at night, but I do it while awake and unplug it before I go to sleep. It's increasingly rare these days, but I just don't want to risk the potential fire hazard of leaving a phone plugged in.

Some people are just extremely lazy. I used to be the same, but I decided to spend a few dollars on a wireless charging stand that I can just throw my phone onto while I'm dozing off.

It doesn't matter when you got a fast-charge phone.

One of my phone's puffed up while being on the charger at night. Woke up next to a spicy pillow.

I work from home on a desk job. I charge my phone once a day so now I do it at 4pm everyday and follow that cycle.

I don't know you married one, ask her and let us know?

We are the same, I put my phone and charge (set to stop charging at 85%) overnight, my wife does not, and then her phone dies at odd times like when she is out shopping. I suppose it is about having a scheduled routine or not. I have alarms set for 10:30 every evening to check if a charge is needed for my watch that day. Some people just don't like the routine and prefer to live a bit more on the edge.

Some people just don't give a f*ck, even when they complain about it all the time...

If I don't charge at night it is because I forgot to charge it.

Because it's already 100% when I go to sleep

Same thing with my girlfriend. I even got a charger and a cable just for her exclusive use but she keeps unplugging my phone because "it has more charge than mine". Which, fair, but like??? It didn't have to be this way??

Sometimes I fall sleep while scrolling or watching something in bed, so no overnight charge

I'm worried there'll be an electrical fault and it'll start a fire.

Sometimes my bed is too full of dependents and I don't have a charger near the couch :(

I have a wireless charging stand at work, so my phone is nearly 70% charged when I go to bed. No real point to me in having extra clutter on my nightstand.

On the weekends, I’ll charge my phone on the kitchen counter while making breakfast for the kids.

Because I can charge it in my car, at my desk in the office or with my battery pack when I am out.

I am too lazy to plug the charger into the wall. It's a sort of thing get it done once, and reap the benefits always, but I have executive function issues, so that could explain it.

I charge in the morning.

Because my smartphone with Li-Ion 3140 mAh battery lives 48-72 hours. No google apps (LineageOS), LTE is off (I use only WiFi), Bluetooth is off. Well, I use my phone mostly for texting and calling, rarely for surfing the web, showing my PDF tickets and for offline location-guided maps (a.k.a. Trekarta). That's it.

EDIT: that depends on the use case, though...

Today's phones don't need to be charged every day because of big battery. For me, that was a problem years ago, but since the last phone I had - the problem doesn't exist. Even if I have 10% battery before sleep, it will still be 8-10% battery when I get up, which is enough for morning walk with dog with music and come back home.

Laziness. The cord is always on the floor, and I don't want to have to reach down there.

I just turn it off, and it generally need to recharge in the next day afternoon.

My partner and I both have wireless chargers so we essentially start charging at the same time every night. He has a nicer phone than me even. However he also has Twitter Instagram Facebook etc etc etc on his phone so it lasts about half the time mine does with none of that garbage.

I read to fall asleep, so my phone usually stays with me in bed. Pro-Tip, if she has an iPhone, set the Sleep focus to turn on at a specific time and enable low power mode.

I suck at sleeping so when I feel like I could conk out I seize the opportunity and go for it. Plugging in my phone is part of my bedtime ritual, so I trick my brain into not going into high gear to resist shutting down by not charging at night. You think I'm kidding, it's a battle every day.

My phone's battery is usually full before I go to sleep.

On days I don't WFH, I charge my phone in the car. My commute is 2 hours per day which is sufficient.

I charge my phone during the day while at my desk. The grid mix during the day is mostly solar where I live so it's green, and when I'm not working from home, it's free electricity.

She has different priorities than you.

In the evening i charge it a little. Overnight, my phone loses 4-6%. In the morning i finish the charging.

If she carries a purse, or otherwise can carry one extra item, a USB battery (looks like Amazon calls them "portable chargers") might deal with the issue. If the phone's running low in the day, just start it charging off the battery.

I usually do, but sometimes I forget 😅

Eh. I only use the thing once or twice a month. It’s dead most of the time, really. Unless I plan to use it I usually don’t charge it at all.

I'm a stay at home dad and my phone is on and off the charger all day. I typically won't plug my phone in at night unless I think the battery is too low to make it thru the night. But by the time bedtime rolls around I'm usually good.
