Forbidding them from changing the oil? I personally changed my battery, I did not feel like it was forbidden.

Not even that hard.

For me, the firmware fix helped me limp through the 2 months before I finally got around to replacing the battery.

It made my phone that was flaky and unreliable below 40percent battery into a phone that worked slightly slower once the battery got low, but didn’t just randomly shut off during calls anymore.

I’d have preferred a toggle, but to be honest I doubt I’d have ever used “reckless disregard for remaining battery capacity” mode.
