Killed the battery already.
 
Only took 6 hours. lol

Anyone else?

Did you make sure to charge it all the way first?
Because its novelty maybe you had it on most of those 6 hours while you're playing with it?
Lithium based batteries take a few charge cycles to reach optimum performance.

plus you probably have had it on for the whole 6 hours. battery life really cant be told for the first week.

conditioning and too much playing.... i hope it's fixed though.

Yeah, you can't possibly have had the time to give it a full, proper charge yet, plus you've been using it constantly because it's exciting and new.

Lol guys I know. I wasn't saying it as a bad thing. I just thought it was pretty funny I killed it that fast because of my obsessive usage. :)

its actually good practice to drain the battery for the first usage then charge it to max. i believe it increases batter life, at least that is what i've read.

True, although this comes after having given it a full, proper charge to begin with. Not sure what effect is had by running it on the partial charge it ships with first.

Do not let your phone's lithium ion battery die completely! This is extremely bad for the battery. Lithium Ion batteries DO NOT have a memory (unlike previous NiCa batteries). It does not matter to pre-charge the battery. Charge the phone exactly how long the tag on the USB cable says. Do not overcharge your battery.

Quote:

A lithium-ion battery provides 300-500 discharge/charge cycles. The battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a larger battery. There is no concern of memory when applying unscheduled charges.

While true, you'll also find the common contradiction from the exact same resources that says you need to deep charge the battery a few times when it's new before you'll get the full life.

Where does it say that? This has been discussed to death on the Diamond forum (it's practically the same phone).

Lithium-ion is a low maintenance battery, an advantage that most other chemistries cannot claim. There is no memory and no scheduled cycling is required to prolong the battery's life. In addition, the self-discharge is less than half compared to nickel-cadmium, making lithium-ion well suited for modern fuel gauge applications. lithium-ion cells cause little harm when disposed.

Advantages
  • High energy density - potential for yet higher capacities.
  • Does not need prolonged priming when new. One regular charge is all that's needed.
  • Relatively low self-discharge - self-discharge is less than half that of nickel-based batteries.
  • Low Maintenance - no periodic discharge is needed; there is no memory.
  • Specialty cells can provide very high current to applications such as power tools.
