Crap article . Not even mentioning custom roms.
My 6 year phone over heats, especially now since we are in the mid of summer.
Idle battery drain over night is 70%.
I doubt you would get a replacement battery now. But, you could try if you do not want to upgrade to a new one
I tried replacing the battery, but the “new” battery was just as bad.
The problem is that these batteries were just stored somewhere for years, probably in not ideal conditions.
What phone is this? Are the batteries from the official service center or 3rd party repair service/site?
Does your phone ever get that not-so-fresh feeling?
Edit: lol, sneaky edit.
If you use the same phone for 3-5 Years. It does start to feel a bit old. Especially, if it’s not getting new OS updates.
Changing launchers, themes, icon packs can make it feel a bit fresh.

They didn’t talk about it so, would changing the OS on an older device be helpful? If so what is recommended these days?
I run Lineage OS with no gapps and no proprietary apps of any kind. My device is fast and snappier than higher end Google Android devices
Same. I do have a couple of apps on my device that are not open source but that’s primarily my bank app and that’s the only one. However, that will be going away very soon as I did just switch banks this previous month and confirmed that my direct deposit is going to the new account. So I will be shutting that one down and my new bank is completely available on the web. So I will be using their website instead of an app.
