Battery trick is a crock

[yatman60]

Hey guys,

That trick about fully charging the phone, then unplugging and turning off then phone and plugging back in is a crock.

If you turn off the phone, fully charge it (according to the light), unplug the phone, and then plug it back in, the light will be orange again and start "charging" for another 30 minutes or so. And if you repeat that, it will do it again. I haven't found any real battery improvement doing this at all.

In reality, i can go from 100% to 98% within about 1 minute of unplugging the battery and after an Awake time of 45 minutes, I'm at an 88% battery. This is on both the Seido battery and the factory battery. So this brings up several questions which noone seems to be able to answer:

1) What the heck is the phone doing during this unplugging and plugging back in process that makes it think it's not charged?
2) Is doing this actually screwing up the battery?
3) What the heck is the phone doing that it's draining the battery almost 12% in 45 minutes??

I have an unrooted Verizon OTA 2.2 Incredible.

Any insights or thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks.
Teesh the Android Newbie.
