Ubering with Two Phones

Hi /tv/

>>59946510
God dammit, my shame.

>>59946519
Don't worry.

>>59946414
have a lg g4 since launch. I'm a programmer and live alone. I use my g4 as wifi modem for my laptop, PS4, PSVita and have no problem. I'm waiting for the OnePlus 5 to change mi phone since the LG G6 price is too high for a last year processor.

>I'm trying to extend it's battery health because I'm not the kind of person to buy a new phone every 2 years
They don't work like that anymore, the reason battery life degrades quicker in older phones is because they are using more system resources due to updates

I didn't read too much into it, but the G6s older processor is supposed to be fine tuned to the memory it's using, giving it comparable performance, could be marketing BS for all I know though.

Do you think having the screen on and using navigation for 9 hours a day will decay it's battery to unusable levels in the next 2-3 years?

Of course man. You better option was a phone with removable battery. After two year I see my phone charge dying faster, but I that become a problem I just buy a new battery. But a recommend you to use the phone directly and not as a modem.
The modem is the faster way to kill your battery, I use my phone every day as a modem and the battery suffers a lot.

I will not say unusable levers, you never will punish your phone as I do, and after two years my phone give me even 5 hours of screen time. And almost two days of continuous Spotify music.
I never turn off my data, so maybe that number could even be higher

>>59946414
you have to go back

>>59946414
why do you ask us, then?
You already know this is good.

Just drive safe and try to get on time, Paco

I'm just not sure if it's worth it. How long can new smartphone last being used daily with it's screen on and navigation running for 9 hours a day? Should I try to make it last, or will it degrade despite this.

>>59946945
>>59946945
all phones degrade. Batteries are just like that.
Just remember, OLED phones and Ubers dont mix.
You'll burn the screen with the map in it.

>>59946510
How can you tell?

>>59946510
>>59946519
Who?

I fucked up and posted the same thing on /tv/ they started talking about Drive the movie of course.

>heavy lifting
I'm not sure if you've ever used the hotspot function before.
Hotspots are heavy lifting.
Turning your phone into a wireless modem and router should easily be one of the most power draining things it will ever do.

>>59946414
>my old phone can continue to do the heavy lifting
>my new phone could be used as a hotspot

u wat?

sure it is if you're streaming video or have multiple devices connected at all times.

I just thought that maybe 1 device pulling navigation data every couple of minutes from a locked phone would be less power draining than one that has two navigation apps running side by side with it's screen on for 9 hours straight. Wanted to see if anyone else tried this and hear their experience
