The tip about charging (10-90%) cannot really be implemented consistently in reality. And from a technical point of view, depending on the device used, it has long been outdated.
Android, for example, knows the setting for battery conservation. In this mode only the range 10-90% of the battery is “extended”, but the display is still scaled to 0-100% in order not to confuse customers. Specifically, this means that the device switches off when the display shows 0%, but the battery itself still has 10% charge. A full charge is displayed as 100%, but only corresponds to 90% charge.
If you also follow the tip with 10 - 90% in this mode, then you will actually only use the battery in the range of 20 - 80%, i.e. the operating time of the device with one battery charge is only a little more than half as long as expected, which is certainly not what the user has in mind.
The biggest battery killers are fast chargers anyway. If you want to conserve the battery, charge the device as slowly as possible. Depending on the device/OS, this can be set in the system. My tablet takes 2 hours in normal mode and 1 hour in quick charge mode. Since the battery still heats up relatively strongly even in normal mode, I use the weaker charger from the previous model, so the charging time is 4.5 hours. If I need to go faster for once, I can always switch to normal or quick charging mode. I also make sure that the device does not heat up unnecessarily in the sun or in the car.
Thanks to these measures, the battery still shows a capacity of 94% after 2 ½ years.
Sustainability/protect the environment? I had to throw away my first cell phone because it no longer had a battery and I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy A8 for about 2.5 years now and have to change it again because the “software” is no longer updated and there are security gaps. Unfortunately, constantly new models “force” you to change your cell phone long before it no longer works.
I can or allow myself the luxury of buying the latest iPhone every year.
The old one is still worth good money and will be sold or, depending on the situation, I can make someone very happy with it who may then need it for years.
Roughly speaking, this probably costs me 300 per year.
Like a cheap cell phone that no longer gets an update after a maximum of 2 years and ends up in electronic waste.
Argo, never battery problems 😉

Ah the good advice from Swisscom!
Swisscom Shop employees still need to be better trained and demonstrate more professionalism and not limit themselves to sales at all costs.
My elderly brother could no longer hear the people he was calling. At the Swisscom Shop they told him that the processor was dead and they offered him a Samsung for 590.- with activation. To earn as much as possible, we always offer Samsung in the Shop.
He gives me his old Nokia smartphone and I notice that he had simply inadvertently turned the phone volume to the lowest point.
Where are the skills of Swisscom Shop employees? Just trained for sales to make maximum sales!
Hello everyone,
Thank you for your reactions and feedback which are regularly transmitted to the various competent departments.
Regarding this manipulation: Regularly delete large apps to clear the cache.
Each mobile is different and the procedure is also different for each model, so it is necessary to research the brand or Google to find out how to do it on the different phones.
Best regards
