Use the device until the battery is exhausted (the phone will shut itself down). Now charge and do the same.

I'm getting great battery life in the first two days doing this and historically, battery life should be pretty bad.
I wish people would stop giving out this type of information. These are LiPo batteries. The prefer a top off regularly over a complete drain.

It's a debatable - some people see improved performance after they recondition the batter. For example, my battery would go from 100 to 50 in an hour, but take another couple hours to get to 0 - Why? I have not a clue, but after reconditioning the performance was somewhat better.

You can also wipe battery stats (once rooted) Adding it alongside some other typical tips.

P.S. - send me Screenshots of the various settings i mention and i'll post them!

These are li-ion batts...not LiPo. They prefer an almost (not totally) drain and then a full recharge.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium...olymer_battery

Li-Po's are derived from Li-ions and use almost the same technology but are NOT the same.

Lithium-ion polymer battery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Li-Po's are derived from Li-ions and use almost the same technology but are NOT the same.
biggest difference between LiPo and Li+ Batteries is you cant leave LiPo batteries in the charger or to overcharge - can cause serious damage to device or explosions.
