Just curious
Well Beest found that if his phone is upright in his pocket rather than flat across the bottom, it is more likely to get reception, so he tried keeping it upright and found that the battery lasted much longer. Of course, it could be just that the charge spills out of the battery when it's tipped over....

swapping batteries would actually mean we'll have to meet IRL which is a rarety these days, so you may have to wait a while for that experiment.
