I heard that leaving the phone plugged in for a long time can affect the battery's performance. Is it bad for me to leave my phone plugged in for 24 hrs+?

keeping an li-ion battery fully charged all the time is not so good for it, not because it can become "overcharged" but because your not using the battery it may suffer from capacity loss, the ideal environment for the battery would be to let it discharge to about 50-20% then charge it again till full at least once in a while so that it is maintaining its cycles and capacity. :good:
OK thanks.

I always charge mine for a couple hours before I go to bed that way I don't leave it overcharging. Throw it in airplane mode and go to bed that way ur battery doesn't drain too much overnight.

Also is it bad for the battery if you reboot a lot?
Pretty sure the phone's charge circuit isn't going to do anything to damage the battery. Once it's charged, it may go to a tiny maintenance trickle charge, but you will be fine. Rebooting also will just drain your battery, not damage it, as it uses a lot of CPU and I/O to get Android fully up and running.

Not bad for the battery but I guess you'll have to charge it again sooner
Nice thread on Li-Ion batteries http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669497
So on a daily basis I should run the battery down to about 20-40%, and then charge to 90-95%?

I run mine down to 5% and charge it to 100%
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
it cuts off when its fully charged so i wouldnt worry, also you dont have to cycle charge li ion battery's even if you only run it down to 60% and charge it, it wont do it any harm, infact they like to be charged willy nilly as its keeps the ions jumping about or something, haha
Hello !
I have read several articles in where people use different methods to charge theyr battery.Maybe it has been talken in XDA too but i havent found nothing that regards charging
How do u charge the battery ?U keep the level from 90 % to 50 % and once a month u fully discharge and than fully charge ?
Or u fully charge it after it shuts off cause of low battery?
Thanks
I'm a bit of a battery abuser, I tend to charge randomly when I think it will be under heavy load such as long drive in the car listening to music I will plug it in with my cigarette usb adapter thingy..
Most other times just plug it into my laptop. My habit for discharging and turning it on until it dont turn back on is maybe every couple weeks to a month if I remember to. Bout that time is when I start cycling out old apps I don't use and just maintaining clean phone status.
...Wall charger every night, all night, while still on, while I sleep. Been doing it this way for 2 years and still using the original battery.

I just charge it whenever it's anywhere between 40-50% and have access to an outlet.
I use USB to charge my phone I plug it in at night around 9 and it's good around 10am then I unhook it. It stays good till about 6 or 7 pm

Lithium Ion batteries don't have memory effect, so the only reason to run a complete drain and recharge is if the battery fuel gage needs calibration.
I leave mine on the AC or USB charger everynight. The Captivate's power management chip reduces the charging current when the battery approaches full. After becoming fully charged, it stops charging for an hour or two, waiting until the voltage has dropped about 0.1 V, then resumes the small trickle charge until full again.
You want to avoid getting the battery too hot, because that will reduce battery life (life= number of battery charge cycles). I have an alarm set in battery monitor widget (bmw) when the battery temp is 45 degrees C or higher. you can get bmw or other battery tools on Google Play.

It is my second time that i fully drain and fully charge my battery.
It is wrong what im doing ?
I don't think of it as right or wrong. You don't need to drain it all the way or charge it to 100% if it is not convenient.
I put my phone on the charger at night even if the battery is 60% or more full, with the phone on. I want it at 100% in the morning. During the day, it often gets charged while I am driving or when I am using my laptop. Is is seldom fully charged during the day, and it rarely gets drained all the way.

I just plug it into a wall socket when it drops below 50% ... been doing it that way for a couple of years and haven't had any issues.
on a normal day, my cappy gets to 10% and under and then i charge it everynight

Yeah, and you want to give 'em hummingbird food for faster charging and best compatability with the captivate's cpu. With this charging method, you can even hear the hummingbird hum if you put your phone in a conch shell and hold it up to your ear.

I have four batteries for my Captivate, because the original seemed sorta crappy, and I found supposed-OEM batteries pretty cheap on Amazon.
My micro-USB port seems to have taken a crap, and the phone will no longer charge via that method. So basically, I have an extra-battery wall charger going all the time, and I swap batteries whenever the battery in the phone dies.
I just connect the usb cable port from my Xbox to the phone when I'm at the man-cave table. At night to my computer's usb port since it still power's up when the computer's off which is convenient :laugh:
Is it just me or the HTC Butterfly takes a very long time to full charge? When I am using the HTC supplied AC adapter (1A output), it takes like 5-6 hours from zero to full. I tried using the Samsung 2A AC adapter and it took like 3 hours or so. My HTC 8X takes only like 3 hours on the 1A AC adapter, but they have almost the same battery capacity.
5-6 hours is too much unless you are actually using the phone heavily while its being charged

It does take quite a while. I haven't timed it but probably 3-4 hours going from 0% to full charge. The last 5% going from 95-100% takes forever.
It uses Li-polymer battery, it's normal that the last few percent to charge slower to avoid overcharging.
FYI, Li-Po battery will blow up/caught fire if overcharged.

4 hrs for me too.. very slow charging but stays up for nearly a day with normal usage few games and browsing gives about 15 to 18hrs so its ok
On a full charge from completely dead to 100% it takes me 2hrs or less because i cut the phone completely off and it gives me 2 days and couple hours on light usage like plenty calls and texts and checking emails also surfing the web
2 hour or more if using 3g not bad but i alway forget to charge it and go outside lol

That's normal. Faster charging require a QC 2.0 or 3.0 charger

According to phonearena battery benchmarks, it should take 110mins. Sounds like you're pretty close.

In fact, I charged from 1-100% in about 110mins itself today using the supplied charger.
Ok here is the answer .
It took 13 Minutes per 10 % until 85%. After that 30 minutes for full çapacity.
I tkink last night electric was shut down.
