disable usb charging
 

I know on the GSM version of the touch there is a setting in the battery menu that lets you disable charging over usb, and i was wondering if there is a way it can be done on the cdma versions, because i dont know about all of you, but i really dont want to kill my battery by plugging and unplugging 10 times a day just because i want to put new apps on my phone. At this point i usually wait untill i have to charge my phone to put new apps on it just so i dont shorten the lifespan of my battery.

these batteries arent affected by not fully charging and discharging, they dont have memory.ive read lithium based batteries actually work better if you give them partial dischages

Ive never seen anything for a vogue that contains that setting and i've tried a ton of ROMs, the setting might be portable and nobody sees any reason to do so because like ryallchild said, it doesn't hurt to do partial discharge/charge.

but what about us who use the USB to teather to the laptop, and drain the laptop battery???

Plug the laptop in.

How much of a difference does it make to the life of your laptop versus using wifi? I'm not being sarcastic, just curious.

even if you guys dont think it doesnt do anything to the battery, i'm still convinced that plugging and unplugging multiple times a day will have an adverse effect on the battery.

anyone else?

It will have no adverse effect whatsoever.

Lithium batteries are not affected by the memory effect.

They still have a lifespan though... avoid excessive charging (most phones should switch to a trickle charge state), as this may result in the overheating of the battery and cause irreversible loss of capacitance.

I'm a little curious here; you're adding new programs 10 times a day?

I'd be more worried about memory than battery life. In 30 days you'd have over 300 programs to contend with.

Is your phone your hobbie?
