We regroup and look at our phones the following weekend. His batter lasts 6 hours... NO, JUST SIX HOURS!
Mine last nearly 48.
Why?
I proplery cared for my battery while it was in its infant stage.
He didint.
IM goin gto hazzard a guess... and its just a guess.... I bet you rplug your phone in and let it charge even though the batter is not 100% dead? Can you confirm? Thats what my buddy was doing.
With these phones you need to let them DIE completely before even considering chargin it again. Atleast for the first two weeks.
If you follow that schedule charge 100% immediately remove and start discharging 100% your batter will last a long long time.
I even reconditioned my buddies battery doing that. Took me a week but I doubled the life back to 12 hours for him. He hosed it thogh. Constantly plugging it in and unplugging it. Constantly. Destroys batter EVERY time. Doesnt matter the phone. LI-ON technologie is the same regardless.

I've heard people say otherwise on this... sometimes they say not to let the battery die, and they posted some evidence from other websites to prove it. They say that letting the battery die 100% before charging was called deep-cycling or something like that (I wish I remembered where that post was).
Anyway, I'm not saying that your advise is wrong, because I don't let my battery die 100% before charging, and sometimes I can barely make it through the day with my Seidio extended battery AND Juggalo's rom, AND the Telus radio upgrade AND other reg tweaks. So yeah, you could be right. That might be your answer OP.
Btw, if you start discharging and charging at 100% even though the battery is not new anymore, will that help its life?
