Pixel 3 vs new iPhone 12

 Mint has a deal, buy an iPhone 12, get 6 months free, only $15/month for a 4 GigB plan after free. I don't need another cellphone right now because I still have a Pixel $60, XL $76 and Moto Play $199 new that are fairly usable, but darn, for $90 I might just upgrade to a Pixel 3 $90.  A quick look on eBay says that this is a good deal.

If anyone wants one of my used phones hit me up, the prices I quoted are what I paid.

This post is for you my bestie who says I don't post anymore and therefor you don't read my blog.

Excessive Android phone battery drain

 I had my battery on a Pixel phone go from 100% to 30% overnight with the phone turned off so I think that either the battery sucks and has an internal resistance or there is something running on the phone even if it is turned off, which is even scarier.  So I get similar results several times and I try to leave the phone in airplane mode, no big overnight drain, very strange.  So next I try to drain the battery all the way, I get a 24 hour usage on battery saver with airplane mode at 2% for 24 hours, well now we are getting somewhere, it is a miscalibrated indicator.  I will next try to calibrate it by running the phone up to 100% twice then running it down to shutdown twice and try again to measure the result.
