oldmanskiI had the same problem so I quit using my phone on the mountain. Went to an ipod for music and use my GoPro for my camera, besides when I would take my phone I never had any service where I was skiing anyways so now I just leave it in the car.
.JakeThaDug.bold move. where do you ski? what happens if you or a homie gets hurt, who are you about to call from your iPod?

eheathPeople skied for a long time before cell phones existed doggy, even 10 years ago we weren't skiing with phones.
oldmanskiBeen skiing Meadows on Hood the last few seasons, eastside of the volcano has horrible cell service. Skiing inbounds you can always get a patroller easy enough if homie gets hurt, back country I have some Kenwood radios I use, just prepare for what conditions I am riding. The world did still function before everyone had cell phones,lol.
BitcoinDelete social media apps, they are the largest drain
eheathI wouldn't necessarily say that directly, screen-on time is what kills your battery, which is the effect of social media apps, phone always on.
BitcoinPush notifications, chat bubbles, always on mic, and misc background services all fuck your battery without the screen even being on.
Try this: don't touch Facebook app for 1 day, even shut the app entirely in multitasking. Now 1 day later check battery usage in settings. It will read "Facebook: 29%"
liammorrisGet an old Motorola phone. I remember in high school my phone battery would last for 3-4 days on a full charge ahah. Times have changed
eheathThat's definitely not normal at all. If i don't touch my phone (pixel 3) i use like 1% every hour, i understand how apps work and such, what phone are you using? My phone has a function that suppresses apps when you don't use them, but pretty sure most newer phones/operating systems have this.
