Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks

Hey I don't know if anyone has tried this, I stumbled on it by accident, but I was noticing that I wasn't getting very good battery life/performance I would use the internet for about 20 mins and I was already down to 80% and my the end of my 8hr day i'd be down to 60%, then I would get a phone call and "low battery warning" so I started to look into getting another battery that was 1500mah and only 19.99

so I put my phone to charge last nite and just out of curiosity I wanted to see the capacity of my battery, i removed my battery my phone while it was plugged in, and when I put the battery back on and then I saw an animated battery meter, showing my phone was charging...I didn't need the phone so I left the phone off and let it charge...I wasn't able to let it charge completely, so at 3:15am, yes A.M. I unplugged it and when i used my phone today I used the internet for about 45 mins to an hour, and it still showed 100% about 20 text messages and 6hrs later it dropped to 80% and stayed at 80% till about 7pm was on the phone for about an hour down to 60% and still going...

I dont think I need to do this every night, but if anyone was having battery life issues u may want to try this at least once and see if it improves.
