Yes but I'm not letting it die. I'm going to 1% and then charging it.

By quickly I'm sure you mean "one complete cycle" of the battery, right?

You are literally talking about adding about 1/4 of 1% to the total cycles of the battery.

Li-Ion are NOT prone to "memory" like Nickel-Cadmium batteries are.
Li-Ion are NOT damaged or otherwise harmed by discharging the battery fully.
Li-Ion are typically rated for 500 battery cycles.

1 "cycle" is defined as taking a fully charged battery, fully discharging it, then fully recharging it. If you take a fully charged battery and drain it to 50%, then charge it to full, then drain it to 50%, then charge it to full, thats also 1 "cycle". Li-Ion cannot be "overcharged". There is a circuit that is part of the battery pack that prevents overcharging, overheating, or short circuiting the battery. There is a small fuse in the circuit that blows if the circuit thinks something is wrong. Li-Ion batteries, if the catch on fire, make a very big mess. They can burn through just about any material on Earth and they do not extinguish when Oxygen is removed. They're actually very dangerous to just "carry" in your pocket like we do, and those protective circuits are why these batteries are safe to carry next to our unmentionables without worrying about it.

There's so many misconceptions about Li-Ion batteries it's rather depressing. Battery technology was my specialty in the Navy. ;)

I could write a book about the technical reasons why alot of the misconceptions are false, but if you're really interested Googling will probably give you enough details to understand it.
 
Just for everyone else's knowledge.. I fully discharge my battery about once every 2 months or so just to keep the percentage indicator accurate.
 
I see all kinds of posts on CL want to trade razr iphone even a few gs3 but not one single post from Anybody ditching their bionic :-) a testament in and of itself to this Bad A** phone.

I did some research on battery technology a while back, and one site I ran across that seemed well sourced suggests that Li-Ion batteries don't last as long when fully depleted regularly. The reasoning is that they're a chemical composition, and fully depleting them wears out the chemicals faster. What are your thoughts on this?
 
I have been trying to figure out what I'm going to go as for Halloween...then it hit me.I'll go around my neighborhood knocking on doors and instead of "Trick or Treat" I'll say "I'm sorry sir/madam, have you found Waldo in your life?" and hand out pages from one of those books as pamphlets.

Someone did mention.... random :D

I really hope they push that ota this week so it can be 246 already!

I'm for that. Still on .905 but about to start reading the HoB. Want to thank Sam, Sargentmajord all here for all the info and really interesting posts. I have thoroughly enjoyed the humor which has helped those of us waiting for the OTA to keep our spirits up knowing there is and alternative to being a slave to Moogle and big Red.:biggrin:

Ima be Puni Soni for halloween. Get some little kid to dress up as vzw and chase him around the neighborhood with a cricket bat
 
As I posted the other day I made the move from 905 to 246 and I could not be happier. The phone is definitely snappier and more responsive. Moto did a fantastic job with this build. I am actually digging their color scheme for the System Settings menu - at first I didn't care for it, but it has definitely grown on me.

I am rooted on 246 and the only modification I have made so far has been to change the entitlement check from 1 to 0 for the mobile hotspot.

I decided to start as clean as I could so while on rooted 905, I FXZ'd to a clean 905 using the 5.9.905 FXZ file. I never set up any accounts, I simply checked USB Debugging and check the box to allow installation of non-market apps (i.e. SDCard). I dropped the 246 update zip on my SDCard, rebooted into stock recovery, applied the update, cleared cache and FDR'd (to be safe) then rebooted the phone. I set up my account and allowed any apps to update. I rooted using Razr's Edge and then replaced Superuser with SuperSu.

I noticed this morning however that when I docked my Bionic into my vehicle's Motorola Bionic Car Dock I received an "Unfortunately Homescreen has stopped working" error. I clicked OK and the error reappeared. It continued to reappear, even when I removed the phone from the dock. The only way to remedy the error was to reboot the phone. I retried the dock after rebooting and I received the same error. I am curious as to whether anyone else has gotten this error or has a suggestion for remedying it. Not using the Car Dock is not a big deal, but it is convenient to have the phone docked in a location that would make it easy to make bluetooth phone calls while driving. Any help would be much appreciated.
