> In general, if you use your phone daily, I recommend getting the battery replaced every 2-2.5 years.

Another thing that people forget to do... please restart in once in a while.

How silly is that?

Remember how people laughed at Windows users and the Windows OS? That you have to reboot daily or else it slows down?

Well, these days, my Samsung flagship actually pops up a notification every once in a while, reminding me to please reboot the phone to ensure smooth operation. There's even an option you can turn on to make it automatically reboot every night!

(I imagine that option doesn't automagically skip the SIM card lock and the Android security lock, so IMHO running it is insane, as it would make the phone unreachable until you wake up and unlock it properly.)

Now that is a proper "Do Not Disturb" implementation. Like unplugging the landline from the wall!
