Appreciation post: my phone's battery life went from awful to okay after a weird fix
My phone (a Pixel 7) would die by 2 PM every day for months, but after I turned off 'Now Playing' and the always-on display last week, it's now making it to dinner time. I guess those background features were just constantly draining it, even though they seemed small. Has anyone else found one simple setting that made a big difference for their gadget?

Totally get this. I turned off background app refresh on my old phone and it was like getting a new battery. I mean, it went from needing a charger by lunch to actually lasting the whole day. Those little background things just chip away at it without you even noticing. Makes me wonder what else is secretly running.

Ever check which specific apps were the worst offenders?
