New Kernel/Superior Battery Life

Funny how there are probably hundreds, if not thousands using the SBC kernels and all of a sudden, a crises pops up. Hmmmmm

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Mine doesn't even get that hot. The highest temp I've seen is 36C while I was at my grandparent's house earlier. They have a metal roof which all but kills my signal, meaning my Evo is switching between 3G, 2G, and roaming often while I'm there.

Other than that, my battery is fine. To those who say trickle charging is the problem, it's not. Trickle charging is actually one of the many battery charging techniques we use at my Sprint location. A battery that seems "bad" can be trickle charged back into life.

That doesn't mean it's not bad for the battery.

So, if chemotherapy cures your cancer, are you going to irradiate yourself nightly even after the problem is gone? no. You know why? That shit will give you cancer.

Argument not valid.

The problems that arise with trickle charging are long term.

That is an utterly inane analogy. We are not talking organc chemistry.

But the claim was that your battery would overheat and cook itself. The original 'chikin little' posted picutes of his phone body with discoloration. What is strange is that he failed to post a picture of the battery itself which should have faired much worse than the phone. If over-heating was the issue, we should have had a 3 alarm fire by now.

I am not buying the arguement. The reason for cyclical charges were due to stratification which does not happen in LiOn or LiPo batteries. LiPo batteries in particular want to stay charged.

But sometimes, there are other reasons for these alarms. So of the reasons stray from techno issues and cross into ennolvative envy. Just saying...
