The command line is:
while :; do ( printf 100 >/sys/class/power_supply/battery/siop_level; sleep 10 );done

Only with one ">" !

">" will clobber (overwrite) the file, and ">>" will append to it. In this case, we want to overwrite the value, not append to it.

"sleep 10" means to wait 10 seconds before repeating the command. You can set it lower or higher as you wish, though I have not tested yet how a smaller interval affects power consumption.

    == Charge at full speed with screen on! ==

    For years, Samsung's annoying charging rate limiting that cut charging speed to half or even less while the screen is on bothered me.
    But now, I have found a solution for rooted users:

    The system API file responsible for this limitation is /sys/class/power_supply/battery/siop_level , which has the value 100 while the screen is off (stand-by), but the operating system sets it to 70, 50, or even 30 when turning the screen on, which explains why it is 100 shortly after booting, as whichever process is responsible for this has not started yet.

    Apply the value 100 to that system file. Make sure your text editor or terminal has root access or it will not work.

    The system will set it down routinely, so you can create a loop in a terminal:

    while :; do ( printf 100 >>/sys/class/power_supply/battery/siop_level; sleep 10 );done

    I hope I could save you precious charging time and make your smartphone experience more convenient!

            Teoruiz07, 26 May 2021How does the Haptic Feedback compare to the iPhone?Never felt the need to use it. If you mean keyboard vibz when typing, yes there is a vib. N there are vibz in apps like fb etc. Turned off in my ipad too, feels disturbing, but that's a personal preference mostly.

                        I am looking at buying this phone after reading all these really helpful comments.

                        On device BOOT UP, is PIN or PASSWORD authentication technically possible to get A41 access, where facial & fingerprint recognition have been disabled?
                        The manual doesn’t seem to say.

                                The final brilliant galaxy. It's sad to see how far Samsung dropped in 2 years from this to the S21. No more headphone jack, heart rate and spO2 sensor, gone is the Curved QHD display, glass back, and all the useful accessories from the box. It's actually disheartening that people Co tinue to buy the horrible s21
                                Its been an epic few years Samsung, but it's time to say goodbye.
