Leaving the house every morning with the phone charged is essential in my daily life and I know that I am not alone in this case. That’s why so many of us charge it overnight, which while it used to be harmful to the phone, is no longer so thanks to adaptive charging. The key is that if you have a 100% battery and it’s still plugged in and charging, its degradation increases. However, the adaptive loading does not always intervene: with This trick that uses adaptive charging and the clock will extend the useful life of your phone’s battery.
What is Adaptive Loading? A function that was born exclusively for the Pixels but that is already widespread in the rest of the phones of Android 12 (although the same with another name) and that doses intelligently and in a personalized way the charge of the phone to avoid at all costs that your device remains continuously at 100% charge (when it finishes charging and is still plugged in), something that accelerates its degradation.
How Adaptive Charging Works is as follows: the adaptive load is coordinated with the time at which we set the alarm to optimize the energy delivery. Thus, the phone is charged until it is 80% full, an optimal charge figure for its conservation, and reserves the last surge of energy just before the alarm clock goes off. The goal is to hit 100% just by waking up and unplugging it.
Once its operation has been clarified, the question arises: if the adaptive load is coordinated with the awakening, what happens when you don’t set the alarm?
How to charge your phone with adaptive charging and a silent alarm
You probably already know how to set an alarm on your phone, but it doesn’t hurt to remember: enter the clock app and tap ‘+’. Now choose a time when you think the phone should stop charging. Then give it a name and agree to complete the process.
In our case, we chose 11am, named it ‘End of Charge’, enabled it and chose the days it will kick in.
Now that the alarm is set, the problem is that we don’t want it to wake us up. SO it’s time to shut him up. Tap the music note icon under ‘set alarm‘ and in ‘alarm sound‘, choose silence and go back to confirm. Also turn vibration off.
To stop the alarm ringing after one minute, tap the three dots in the right corner and ‘Settings‘ > ‘mute after‘, choose a minute.
Now go back to ‘Settings‘ and enter the following path: ‘Apps‘ > ‘Clock‘ > ‘notifications‘ and there uncheck ‘missed alarms‘ And ‘Repeat alarms‘. So you will only see the alarm for the first minute and silently, but there will be no trace of any subsequent notifications that you missed the alarm.
