It's not doing anything to the battery, it's forcing the phone to be able to accurately read the battery levels, doing that charging in another phone means your Evo got nothing out of all that "work" you did.

You're funny.

Isn't the idea that when you charge the battery, the light on the phone is turning green before the battery has gained a full charge?

So by doing this excercise, you keep charging the phone until the light remains green when its on and when its off meaning that the battery is fully charged.

So why would it matter what device i use to charge the phone when the point is to make sure the battery is fully charged?

If what they say is true, then their coding is to blame. it may use an extended log to determine the battery levels, so if you keep it at full for an extended continuous time, then the log would purge all the lower level readings from first boot, ect..

otherwise, a full charge from dead when off, then powering on while leaving plugged in until the o/s say's its full too. I think that should accomplish the same thing.
