tips to phone charging

i made this post because people might be wondering about how to charge their phones.
(i say these things from experience so if different for anyone then let me know)
make it a habit not to charger until its at least 15% or less. i always charged my g1 and left it plugged in even at 100 and after weeks the battery life went to hell. i went through 3 batteries that way.
Also try not to use the phone while its charging. i cant really explain what the hell causes that but i know from experience of two other phones that the phone overheats and messes up the battery. so that means avoid over-night charging. i charge mine either before i go to sleep of first thing when i wake up.
also when ur charging ur phone, DO NOT put it under anything, like between a pillow the bed. ur phone will overheat like to the point of too hot to touch. also from experience.

Thanks man,that why my old battery started die'n so fast

I normally do this to calibrate battery:
1. Charge to 100 % with phone on
2. Unplug and turn off
3. Charge to 100% when off (i normally leave it for 10-15 minutes)
4. Then unplug, turn it on, then after fully booted turn it back off
5. put it back on charger till it fully charges again
6. boot into recovery and wipe battery stats
now use your phone as normally and give it 3-4 full charge cycles till the battery is properly calibrated.

Battery calibration is a app on the market. Check it out! It saves you from having to go into recovery and wiping battery stats

i follow all of this and i usually get around 20 hours of battery life. and ive only calibrated my battery once.

Battery Problem?

So I was charging my Sensation and 4 hours later it was on 72% and noticed in the battery log the line was starting to dip. So I then took the battery out of the phone and put it back in only to find its now fully charged.
Defective battery or is my phone reading the battery stats wrong?
Battery life has been lasting 8 hours with normal use which is terrible.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Strange battery event after complete drain

Last night I did something that may have been stupid. After my phone shut down on low battery, I restarted it twice following successive shutdowns. I did this to ensure the battery was completely drained because battery life has been noticeably shorter lately. After plugging into the charger, the phone did not begin charging and would not power on. I had to do a battery pull to get things working again. Is this a normal side effect of my ignorant action in draining the battery?
Unrooted, stock other than a few mainstream apps.

Yes this can be considered normal. There has to be enough battery for the phone to switch into charging mode and it appears you didn't have enough

Q battery dies when at 5%

My new battery dies when it has 5% left i have been reading to calibrate it. What way should I calibrate the battery software or clockwork mod???? Thanks in advance i am rooted and am using AndroidRevolutionHD. I have used the battery calibration from the market but it seems like my battery is draining in 2% intervals. Is there any other software I could use or can what is your alls recommendation

Calibrate it the old way. Let it completely die and then let it charge for 8-10 hours. Make sure the phone is off while charging. Do that twice and that should calibrate battery. Also look on the market for a battery widget that way you can find out what is draining your battery.

Problem with battery

I bought an Anker battery and I'm having some issues. Battery was like half full and I was playing some game and suddenly phone switched off, without any battery level warning . Tried to turn on but it didn't. So then I put it charging and the orange light started blinking and phone wouldn't turn on. Then, I waited 5 minutes and the orange light stopped blinking and stayed light up. After booting I went to power settings and saw that battery was 30%.
What can be the problem? I never had this problem before I replaced the battery for the Anker one, last Friday. Stock one was really dying.
EDIT. Now it says 15%. How did it went so down and so fast? Do I need to calibrate the battery as it is just couple days old? If yes, how?
