Off subject, just got my warranty replacement extended battery for my Bionic, what's the best way to have the best battery life from the start? Don't I need to let it die completely a few times ti calibrate it?

Ummmm, there's a battery life thread....
 
What I did since I'm knowledgable of the internal working of batteries...

1. Charge your battery to full charge. Then let it charge for an extra 30 mins or so. Preferably not a USB port from a computer.
2. Use a battery calibration app to wipe the battery data. Do not use any programs that drains your battery quickly.
3. Unplug your battery from the charger. Use your phone as you normally would until it goes dead and powers itself off. Keep a wall charger handy, not a computer USB port.
4. When the phone finally dies plug it in and charge it with your charger. If you use a computer USB port it may take a long time to get enough charge to bootup.
5. Repeast steps 1-4 two more times for a total of 3 times. Your battery indicator SHOULD be fairly accurate.

Then, about once a month(usually when I pay my rent I do this...)
I fully charge my phone overnight, then the following morning use my phone as normal until it dies again. This helps to keep the battery data accurate as the battery ages.

No, this will NOT shorten the life of your battery. I know a whole bunch of people are about to write me to counter argue me, but unless they intend to explain the physical properties and chemical processes that occur to cause this "effect" that has NOT been documented by battery manufacturers nor testers(myself) then I'll pretty much ignore those rumors.

Then, do yourself a favor and don't freeze your phone or leave it in a hot car during the summer. Batteries don't take well to heat and cold. ;)

I have an extended battery and this is exactly what I did when I got my battery and what I do with it.
 
Actually, my point was that a Q4 release does NOT constitute a "special plan" when we are well within the support window (18 months) and we were already told "early Q3" prior. To me, a "special plan" would be a PROMISE of Jelly Bean, or a guarantee that they are extending our support window beyond 18 months, since the first 12+ months of "support" did nothing but make the device worse. I just want to know what is so "special" about a plan to give us what we were promised from day 1? To me, "special" means going above and beyond.

An 8 month extended support and warranty extension would be pretty "special". That would go a ways towards making me feel like they want to apologize and want to keep me as a customer. 1 year extension would truly prove they were sorry about the delay.
 
So what the hell is moot" exactly lol

I dunno, that's why I was busting on CurGeorg8 about being picky about a battery question. After all, the only topic of this thread is the lack of topic *LOL* I think moot means open to discussion or debate.

Well I didn't think it would matter what I asked since, bacon is brought about a thousand times in this thread and didn't think it would offend someone. I'll search for that thread now, thanks
