Battery draining quicker than usual on Samsung A02

It is A02 and yes I am aware that there is custom android 12 for A02s.

I placed a request on the Samsung forum for a request to improve change the Kernel to allow the clock speed of the phone to start at less than 64%.

The average cycle life of a battery is suppose to be 500 times and all my other devices still have the same battery as the day they got purchased about 10 years ago or less.

Samsung is suppose to be a quality device, even if only a budget phone.

Since I only charge the phone 2-3 time per month then I still did not cycle the battery more than 150 times since I got it so no need for it to degrade yet.

My suspicion is in the min CPU frequency which never drops to less than 64% at all 4 cores. So I need to be able to edit the kernel to change that to a much lower setting.

Adaptive Brightness? why does it not learn?

i never bothered with it. it was more annoying than anything else. i am a power user and use my phone all day. i also keep all performances up to its max. as i prefer the screen to be bright and the phone fast. so because of that i make sure i have chargers always ready to charge it. and yes i know this will deplete my battery life in the long run, but i only own phones for 2-3 years before i move on. so battery life is not a concern for me.
thanks. Yes, I've also decided adaptive brightness is more of a pain than anything. Additionally, I have turned off "adaptive battery" as this can cause a delay in notifications. If I receive an important email or text, or am alerted to movement from my security camera, I don't want any delay for those things.
The battery is lasting soooooo much longer than my previous phone anyway, so I'm good with it.

E-Bikes

Today was a wonderful day for a ride. There was a West wind blowing that has very little effect on my normal loop. I rode 46 miles and ate dinner early so I could ride again before dark. My back tire felt a bit soft so I checked it and it was low. I aired it up and rode to the South end of town and checked it again. It had lost two pounds indicating a leak. I aired it up again and rode home. I only logged ten miles on my second ride but I did no walking. :) I pulled the wheel off of the bike and repaired the tube. It was the smallest hair like metal fiber that had penetrated my "flat preventing" tire and tube. I could not recommend these tires to anyone. They have a noise factor, they are heavy and consume about 2 miles every fully charged battery, they make the bike less responsive, and they have a harmonic vibration at 23 mph that vibrates me and the bike. And last but far from the least, they cost more than a traditional fat tire and are billed to cut down on flats. Not so!

It's been a long time!

Things are looking up, and I'm keeping busy 'working' on a handful of study/research/survey sites, e.g., CloudResearch, and its somehow-related Amazon MTurk, plus Prolific. I'm exposed to all kinds of interesting and challenging studies, including things like actual court cases, where I play the part of a juror. I really enjoy it, and it puts a little money in my pocket every month, too. :D

If there's anything notable you'd like to bring me up to date on, please do! I'm struggling to get used to the forum's new name and logo, plus I wonder WHY it reminds me...or makes me think about, EarlyMon? Anyone? Are you all okay? Life treating you kindly?
Busy is a very good thing. I can be non productive but I can not be idle. If you are doing anything that amuses you that has mental as well as monetary compensation it's a winner activity IMO. Good on you!
We are all struggling with AF morphing into something else. Rob is trying to create something that will attract members. I understand the need to remain relevant. The name change I truly struggle with. A lot of people knew and respected AF. To sever that tie seems unhealthy to me. However, I'm not the owner and I will be supportive of whatever keeps the door open. It is the common thread that if cut we all go our separate ways and that cuts deep into my soul.
Earl the Pearl... he touched us all with his immense intelligence and his gift of sharing that wealth with compassion and never condescending. He was a gift to all of us.
My personal big news while you were away was a major heart attack. After never being ill all of my life, I had what is coined a widow maker attack. I was luck to survive the event and have spent nearly a year now trying to figure out how to deal with less than stellar health. Trust me, I've always felt fortunate to live without a health concern but after the attack I really get it. Many suffer all of their lives and never complain. People are amazing.

Custom ROMS..

I wasn't trying to download or install any rom software, I came upon it by accident, however now i am curious to try it i have an extra device maybe I'll buy a sim card just to see what happens.
you will need the odin software to run and use the download mode. plus i think it only will download stock roms. and not custom roms as suggested on the screen. if you can unlock the bootloader you might be able to flash a custom rom using odin. but i don't think your phone has a bootloader that is unlockable.
