Hard setting your phone so that the o/s changes its "battery full setting" is a crock. You probobly think your getting more use out of it casue ur probobly using it less. You dont have to train your battery its a lithium ion battery. They are designed to be constantly on and off a charger. Things you can do to save battery life:
Turn back light down to the lowest
Use a program that turns off gps
Turn off roaming (sprint only)
close all programs in the background when not in use
Turn off any programs that check in (like the weather program)
When not in use like in ur pocket have the device automatically turn off in 40 seconds( any programs to make this less?)
Do the above and you will be getting 12-18 hours of battery life. I usually do and I texts alot talk about an hour or 2 use the web ALOT. (I dont do the gps thing though I forget about it)

I agree with what you say except for the power cycle. Its not to train the battery, its actually to train the phone to properly read the battery. most devices read a batteries charge by identifying what the maximum output of the battery is, and then as it is used the output potential degrades until there isn't any energy left. this degridation is what is used to measure the level of drain.
