[Q] is it good to charge the phone overnight everyday? - HTC Sensation

is it good to charge the phone overnight everyday? I just bought a brand new batter. will it harm the battery?

I don't think so unless ur using a kernel with SBC. Then it may have the possibility of not being good for it

I'm sorry, but what is SBC? I use the Virthuous Sensation v1.0.2 with "2.6.35.13-UNITY-V3-g3400b8d" kernel. And i believe i have the CWR 4.0.1.5

Just going off personal experience, but I'd say it's ok. I charged my G1 and Nexus One nightly and never had any ill effects.

From what I know, Li-ion batteries are smart enough stop charging when they detect that they full.

I'm just curious, if you don't charge it overnight what do you do during the day? Charge it then? What's the difference?
Bottom line, keep on charging, you'll be fine.

Lithium ion batteries do not have a memory like ni-cad. Charge whenever possible to avoid depleting the battery any lower than necessary. Our batteries have a finite number of discharge/recharge cycles. If you drain to 50% and then charge fully, you've only burned 1/2 of a cycle. Your battery won't fail as soon if you avoid cycling too deep.

I don't think it would be smart. There are chances that your battery will pick up false stats.

I think I'd rather avoid depleting my discharge/recharge cycles by not cycling too deep and just wipe/regenerate the battery stats on occasion.

I didn't think I would like it at all either. However I have grown to love it, the way it is places on this phone actually helps holding it better. Of course that is just my opinion.

Let battery die out???

Hi all.
What would be good battery maintenance on my nexus s? Should I let it die out once in a while? I keep charging it when I might that I shouldn't need to.
Thanks

From what I've read, the Lithium-Ion batteries like to be kept charged to 97%. Your phone will take care of keeping it at the right level. Don't fully deplete it as it will begin to decrease the lifespan of the battery.
Multiple short charges is better than long discharge / recharge cycles.

Check out fig4. lower battery voltage gives longer battery life. Maybe that's the plan, make battery last longer.
Hmmmm very interesting,
In the case, sounds like a good idea if I was to purchase a second power cable and keep of at work. Sounds lilethe nexus s battery is designed to stay as fully charged at all times. From that report, would that be a fair assumption?

Yep..that's what I do too. In the car as well. Nexus S seems very power hungry but with the battery meter application built-in you can get very good at understanding where all the power is going.

No problem. Had the exact same question when I first got mine.

New battery

I just got a new battery from HTC, a replacement for the stock one um using. Should I charge the new battery as sion as I put it on the phone or shall I use it and wait til it die before I charge it to have a better battery life?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
The batteries that come with a new phone are usually around 40%, they do this because 40% is a perfect amount to charge at. If you battery you receive is at around 35%-45%, I would give it a full charge, if any less, or at 85%+ I would use it until it runs out, then search the android market for a battery calibration app.

I have a stock phone no rooting or not flashed. Are there any battery calibration app for a stock phone?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
I just used the replacement battery but everytime I look at the stats it still shows the stats from the old battery. How can I clear the stats to start a new one. My phone is pure stock out of the box no root or flashing. Ty.

App in the market that will calibrate your battery.

Full battery charge help

Hi I've noticed I mustn't of been charging my battery full I've been.calibrating the battery to 4015mv and now I have relised it has gone up to 4215mv after installing new Rom
what is the full charge MV ?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Mine is about 4210mV in Battery Monitor Widget. From what I red, it should be around around 4200mV or slightly more.
At 4015mV, I think you lost quite some juice...
Mine is going up to 4202mv.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Also 4215mv at full charge here. Highest i have seen is 4216mv when i just had it.

Conditioning XE/Evo 3D battery

Just got one of these 1730mAh batteries. What should I do to make sure I have optimal calibration etc.? Do I need to delete battery stats in recovery? Do anything special for the first few charge cycles?
Thanks

No, you do not, apparently it is a myth.

Thanks. I ended up wiping the stats because most sources seemed to say you should do it, but at least no harm was done. I'm 21h 20m into my first discharge with 26% left and 1h 10m of screen-on time. Not amazing, but hopefully it'll improve in the next few cycles.
