![]() Likewise, they can't be kept at 0% either. No lipo battery will survive long if kept at 100%. If you can't disable it, then use a charger that doesn't output more than 5-10 watts so the phone can't fast charge.īut the key issue with keeping a cell phone plugged in 24/7 is the max charge level. Fast charge is nice when you only have a short time, but if the device is plugged in 24/7, it should be disabled. And with some phones, you can even control the wattage it charges at. You can also set the phone to only charge if the battery level is below x%. With root, you can modify the logic to Max out at 75% instead of 100%. The outcome depends on how fancy/new the phone is. That will either swell up the cells in the pack, or trip the overheat protection and stop the charging, shutting down the phone (cause the battery is trashed). Keeping the lipo at 100% will degrade its capacity to store a charge, eventually leaving you with a battery that can't do shit but charge 24/7. The default logic for the charge controller is to reach 100% then stop. In general, lipo batteries, like in cell phones, don't do well at constant capacity. Root the phone, then you can modify the charging logic. So when I visit friends my library could be made automatically available for movie nights! no more carrying around laptops and digging for cables in unfamiliar entertainment centers! As a bonus, my van LAN is configured with OpenWRT and travelmate to automatically connect to familiar networks. Why I want to do this: Other than to recycle a device in a useful manner, I don't currently have a full-time Plex server and I miss it! My currently living situation ( #vanlife) makes small size and low power consumption crucial (I have 300 watts solar charging my battery bank which has to last through the night while keeping my appliances running). (easy way) Find an an APK for PMS from a reputable source if it exists.įigure out how to install Debian on the device and run it as a normal Linux server. The Plex Media Server app on the Play Store is not marked as compatible with any android phones as far as I know. I'm looking for thoughts on how to go about this or reasons it might not work. It has a snapdragon 835 and I think it would make a pretty decent device (combined with a USB SSD) for serving direct stream content to a Fire TV Stick 4k. I've recently upgraded and want to repurpose my Essential PH1 as a Plex Media Server.
