I just received a new battery from T-mobile since my last one was draining too fast. What should I do?
A. Fully drain the battery before charging it to a full charge for the first time.
B. Fully charge the battery first.

Since the battery on my newly acquired Razr Maxx can't be removed and replaced, how long will this phone last me? Charge cycles?
Is it OK to drain the battery all the way down (charge every other day) or will that shorten battery life?

No Official number but in general batteries typically are spec'd to last 300 cycles before there charge is 50% capacity of what it was new, So I always make it a thing to go aslong as I can hold out between charges, just don't try powering it on if it shuts itself off from low battery, that is a fast way to kill a battery, also there are tutorials on how to crack open the case and replace the battery if you end up needing to, but by that point you will probably have moved on to some quad core phone that will be all the rage in 2 years.
With li-on batteries, its best for the battery if you charge around the 40-30% mark. There is a chart out there somewhere, but I don't have it handy. You also don't have to worry about a memory any more
Yes... Only Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries have memory problem and Li+ doesn't have those issues...
Top-up the battery whenever possible + need arises... This also reduces battery getting hot, comparing charging from say 10% to 100% at a single stretch... This is useful as Razr/MAXX has non-removable battery....
PLEASE DON'T LET YOUR BATTERY TO GET DRY OR 0% LEVEL and PLEASE DON'T CONNECT TO MAINS FOR LONGER TIME after battery becomes 100% charged... Only these two must be avoided...
Our Xperia S is powered by an li-poly battery and i recently read an article saying it has a life of 250-300 charge cycles..
I was wondering what are this charge cycles ??
Everytime we charge the phone to 90% the default battery app starts a new cycle of recording battery use, is this ONE CYCLE for li-poly battery ?? :silly:
Since i have read this i keep charging my phone between 15 and 95.. I don't let it completely drain nor try to charge it to full, hoping it would help my battery on a longer run
It's probably a very old article.
Hey, I bough used xt912 about a month ago. from starting I was having battery issue. it will die so fast like dies in 1 hour in moderate usage and 3 hours in idle mode. so I decide to change battery and add new battery but now I am still having same issue. I recently update to CM12 (official) but the issue was same in others version too. and even stock. I didn't understand do I need to calibrate battery or something?
I recently purchased the original LG battery charging pack with an included battery.
So i charge the batteries exclusively using the external charger. When the battery level of the phone goes to around 20-30% I swap in the charged battery. Now the problem is, even though the new battery is charged, the percentage is the same as before i switched out the batteries.
So let's say i swap at 33%, the new battery also reads 33% after the boot.
Is there a way to recalibrate the battery meter?
Found the solution:
The battery swap was done too fast, so the phone didn't realize there could be a new battery inside.
I tried again taking out the battery, waiting maybe 20 sec, then rebooted. Now the battery percentage is accurate again!
Hello,
how can I make my phone use less battery? It's really annoying when I go out at 8AM with 100% battery and got already 0% at 12AM with just LTE enabled.
