Re: Anybody try formating sd card trick? Results?

I posted this at the other site but figured to throw it up here as well........Might save some people a lot of trouble doing all the battery voodoo tricks that I have already tried.....

Okay so here is the deal and I have now seen it proven.......This hack is not working. But I have read other things and one thing is now for sure.

What it is, if you charge your phone and remove it from the charger once it hits green you will not drop to the low 90's within minutes.

If you let your device sit on the charger green for a while, I have read other posts that saadi it is actually using your battary but just not registering it at the time. I totally believe this is true.

I took my phone off the charger this morning after keeping it on the charger all night and within minutes I was at 93%. I got to work and threw my phone on the charger to get back to full and it has been charging for over 40 minutes and still hasn't hit green yet. It is obviuos that my battery was drained more then just the few minutes I had it off of the charger......

I am now waiting for it to turn green as it is at 99% now. I am sure once I pull it off the charger this time without letting it sit there, it will hang in the 90's for a while....

Yesterday when I tested this after the reformat, I removed the phone from the charger right after it turned green and I was in the 90's for hours. So it looks more like the effect is to pull the device off the charger when it hits 100% but what are we to do if we leave our phone's on the charger overnight? It almost looks like it won't matter if we keep it plugged on or not.

This cannot be right. How can I start out with a true 100% battery in the morning without unplugging my phone and recharging every day? Something needs to be done about this!

I am now almost at an hour of charging, and my phone still hasn't turned green yet. All I did was have my phone off the charger for 12 minutes with no use!

Update****Phone has now been off the charger for an 1/2 hour since it turned green and it still is at 100% battery.........

Update 2*** Now after an hour off the charger after being removed immediately when it hit green, my device is at 96% with some light web surfing and a couple of reminders popping up...So what it looks like, if the EVO can hold it's charge while being plugged in, then the battery would be pretty good after all!!!
Unfortuetly, by charging the phone all night, it is like we are starting out the day with a device that is sitting in stanby for 8-10 hours or even more off the charger!
