@edgarblythe,
I can't help. I have a dumb phone that I have carried with me while driving or just meandering for years, probably circa 2006.
I do use it, and often charge it. Now I carry it more. So I charge it most days, as protective. Since I have wobbles near the mailbox conglomerate mail center, over poor paving, I take a stick, to hold on.
But always my phone.
