    The FP2 battery dying quickly might be explained by Snapdragon’s non ideal SOCs around that time period, it was also a problem on the Galaxy S5 that I put up with firsthand.

    The SOCs had the performance, but they ran hot and drank the battery as if there was an electricity drought.

    I don’t think Android 9(?) is going to be particularly kind to that device either…

      Indeed, this seems to be the issue - everytime I use the browser, I can feel the phone running hot as the battery drains. Anyways, my FP2 is beyond end of life, even the file transfer over USB stopped working recently, I can barely wiggle the charger cable to the point where it’s still charging.

      I’d buy a new one, but sadly they keep getting bigger, and I hate huge phones that ruin my pant pockets, plus are uncomfortable to carry in them.
