I can feel the phone easily get hot

I'm using P9, so far no heat issues. Wife had also updated her P7 to A16, later will ask her if her phone is getting hot or not.

TNG okay, can read enhanced TNG card. Maybank also no problem can make payment.

I have just tried both of them after updating to android 16 on Pixel 7

Might get up to android 18, might

Btw, can anyone confirm if P7 series can see the actual battery health percentage in Battery Health? My wife's P7 cannot see the %, even after restarting twice, but my P9 got show the %.

i remember only P9 got the %
EDIT: The Pixel 8a and newer support a Battery health (Settings > Battery) feature that provides an “estimated percentage of [the] charge the battery can currently hold compared to a new standard battery.” Google notes how “Battery capacity decreases over time,” while the Charging optimization setting (Adaptive Charging or Limit to 80%) has been moved to the bottom of this page).




btw, do we need tripod to capture Astrophotography? i tried to put on a stable surface but doesn't seem like work

The closest alternative is to use Accubattery (need to charge from below 15% to Full (it's about 20-30 mins after 100%)

Or use Battery Health by monospace, it will show battery cycles. These screenshots below are mine. Both app available on the Play Store

I have also enabled battery health assistance and I noticed that my charging speed has been throttled down because my battery health has over 800 charging cycles. The good thing now is my phone doesn't get as hot as it was before when charging.

The phone tells me that I need to change my battery. I am honestly still happy about the phone and I think the reduced charging speed is okay because it will mean a longer battery life over time and I will probably change it when it's really bad. Right now screen on time is about 6 hours







Yes, you need to put it on a stable surface where the phone won't move at all and only then the mode will show up. I sometime use a small phone holder and that seems to work too

anyone know where can I go for battery replacement?
