I'm currently reading this on my nearly 8 year old phone. I guess when I finally get round to replacing it I'll have a new server! Sweet
About the not booting issue: What if you soldered a fitting power supply directly to the phones battery pins? Is this a horrible idea? I don't know. Or 3d-print a power supply to dummy battery adapter...
put one lead from the battery on a transistor so you can disconnect it with a little ESP or something when you go to power cycle it. Or even just hold down a button to connect it while you plug the phone back in.
Glorious.
I should test this with my old s8
Had to toss the spicy pillow and had no clue what to do with it since
How do I sign up for the pateron?
nice phone! all of my phones i tested (with replacable battery) refuse to work without battery attached and almost instantly turns off if i ever detach it while running, even with power connected.
Why not connecting the battery with a cable and put a switch in it?
I wonder if my pixel 7 pro that dies suddenly can do the same. I suspect the battery just packed up
I’ve run laptops without a battery, constantly plugged in. I assume this is not a fire hazard.
That's perfectly fine. The only issue is that it may limit performance on some laptops.
