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.

Maybe I repeat someone's question???
But, haven't seen any battery posts for recent T-MO ICS update, seen some for custom ROMs thou...
I believe we got a power hog... Charged that thing to 100%.. 2 hours later it was at 85%, basically doing nothing.... couple of calls. Using display at 75% on manual setting. Oh.. Using Anker 1900mA battery.
If you ran in to the same problem, please confirm. What other settings to play with to lower the power consumption???
Thanks!!

My battery has been lasting twice as long. I can't believe how much better the battery is... I have yet to run it down below 30% in a day!
I'm also using an Anker

Thanks guys for your input.
I have my Anker battery for as long as I have my Sensation, 9 month.
I did cycle it 3 -4 times initially and it gave me a great life on GB.
Yesterday I looked through some settings and made changes.
Got Auto sync off (manual mode), some other changes that (don't remember now, getting older...LOL) keep phone looking for services, I believe location. Charging now and will see how it holds.
Will report if there any progress.

Tried any Kernels?
I was to impatient to wait for the TMO ICS update so I slapped on a custom ICS rom but with this kernel by Faux123: (agh, won't let me link up until I have more posts...just search his nick and his posts)
The battery life is insanely good with the Intellidemand...
Check into seeing if it is compatible with your version, maybe by emailing/msging Faux123.

Im sorry but i dont really rely on a kernel for battery life i have flashed tons of em and let them stabilize and never really seen the difference no offence meant to the dev's of course...
Sometime you just need to Re-Calibrate your battery or do a new fresh install which works quite good..

Most people with issues on Stock ICS end up just factory resetting. It tends to fix most issues.

I have had no problem with battery to be honest. Actually, before I would have to charge my phone every 9 hours. Now for some strange reason I get 36 hours of batter life. Anyone else have this "problem". lol

I'm facing some battery problems at the moment. My battery drains extremely fast that it won't last past half a day. When I charge it it charges extremely fast from 0-50%, then slows down. When I restart the phone at around 60% when charging, the phone becomes fully charged.. anyway to solve this issue ?

Don't worry, incorrect battery information is common after flashing a new ROM.
What you need to do is download a Battery Calibration app from the Play Store.
I recommend this one. Charge your phone to 100% and calibrate.
It can also be the first signs of your battery beginning to die.

So is this also relevant?

Random shut downs often occur due to over heating of the battery.
I guess if you aren't experiencing any of that, you don't have any problems with battery temperature.
How old is the battery? And how suddenly has the problem come up?
I run into this problem many times.
But very simple solution if there's nothing wrong with battery or phone.
1.reboot into recovery.
2. Wipe battery stats under advanced.
3. Let your phone completely die on battery. Turn it back on couple of time and let it die.
4. Charge your phone to 100% + 10-15 extra mins.
5. Reboot into recovery and clear battery stats again.

I do something like this, but without all the extra hassle. There is an app called Battery Calibration, it shows you a read of your batteries mV and it does the same thing as the above, wipes battery stats.
I use it to check my mV, which with an anker 1900 the max mV is 4203. I keep my phone on charge once it hits 100%, then allow it to drop down to 99%, unplug it and plug it back in, it takes several times doing this, but once my battery % being 100 and my max mV (4200), match, I wipe my battery stats (Hit battery calibration.)
One thing I have noticed with ALL ICS ROMs is the incorrect battery reading after rebooting. You'll have say 56%, once you reboot it will jump 15-30% and show, say 79%. Then it drops quickly down what it was prior to the reboot.
Doing a battery calibration in no way helps extend battery life, for me it just does the same thing that will happen after several cycles anyhow, it just saves you time from having to run multiple cycles to get your device and battery to sync up.
This is just what I personally do, I know people are going to post saying that doing a battery calibration is pointless, and probably point you to where google even said it, etc, etc. As far as the calibration doing anything special, it doesn't. I simply do this to get my device (When at 100%) to see my battery at 100% (4200mV). It works for me.

Yes! Once you start using a spare battery, you should ALWAYS alternate between the two batteries. Otherwise, it will affect the life of the battery.
Use One, Drain it, Use the other, Drain it, and repeat the cycle. Always charge your battery through your phone and not through a battery charger as this will charge the battery in highly optimum conditions and the phone will keep a track of the battery status.
If I reboot my phone the battery percent will jump around from like 40% to 80% or one time time it went from 91% to 32% any idea why this happens?

maybe your battery is dead or u must full charge your battery and wipe battery statistics from recovery
Your rom maybe starting very fast where incorrect battery readings may occur or you need to calibrate you battery. Not to mention wiping the battery stats.
After every new ROM I flash I make sure to charge to 100% then while plugged in to charger I go to recovery and wipe battery stats, then unplug. This helps a lot and should stop your swings of battery stats. You should do this with
Every Rom you flash. Hope this helps.

It sounds like your battery is faulty, my ankers go down to 1% before switching off but they do drop very quickly when they reach 10%. Battery readings are accurate, apart from after restart when the % spikes upward then quickly drops back to the correct level.
