As for the battery hack, I firmly believe it works...atleast on my phone with the amount I use it (moderately). Also I have had the phone long enough to have the battery cycle through charges quite few times before I ever tried this.
Before installing the battery hacks I spent a week keeping an eye on my usage and battery level, trying to maintain about the same usage (sorry this isn't super scientific). Mainly a day I was doing a couple voice calls, few text messages, internet, 20-30mins of Sprint TV, some gmae playing No push email or IM. Anyway over the week period it was pretty consistent, I would check the percent down and it was always 30-40% left.
So I did the battery hacks and tried to maintain the same usage. Over the week, I never dropped to 30. It was always 40-50 every day. Once it was 60% but I'll just drop that day and say maybe usage was off. I think the biggest thing I noticed is that the phone after the hacks, maintains 100% alot longer. Before I would charge the phone to 100% and even while not using it, it would drop to 90% very quickly.
Anyway, take it as you like. For what its worth, I think it works to give you a decent little boost if you are a moderate user. Someone else was saying that the hacks are more for when your phone is not being used it will switch into more of a power save mode to conserve battery and this is maybe a good reasoning why my phone is maintaining 100% longer while not using it. If you are heavy user I have a feeling the the battery hacks would make little difference.
my 2 cents..
