Re: Anyones battery actualy last a full day?

I bought mine in Dec. Battery usually lasted a full day and I might be down to 60%. if I sat around and used the internet or music and video for 6 hrs straight it might go down to 50%.

Then I installed the new official ROM and my battery was saying it was down to 20% after a day of normal (very light use), including a few emails, an few txts, 1/2hr call, and some GPS google maps.

I read that after the new ROM flash it resets the battery charge level circuitry+software, so the problem is that the charging circuit thinks your cell discharges in only a few hours because that is all it knows since it was reset.

The trick is to let it deplete down to zero charge, until it turns off, keep turning it on until it won't turn on anymore. Then remove the battery for a bit, put it back in a charge it fully WITH the OEM WALL CHARGER ONLY (NO USB).

Do this for a few days to recalibrate the charging circuit/software.

Now you should have full battery life.
