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.

Thanks for the advice, I will try it and see how it goes, by the way any more news on our ICS OTA for our Bionic, I keep seeing 30-40 more pages to read through and haven't had the time lately

Still waiting on .247 to go OTA, and apparently they are working on Jelly Bean as there is an engineering build that exists. Meaning, we COULD see Jelly Bean long before anyone was expecting.
 
To give you some idea, I'm using a class 10, 32Gb card (made by Samsung) and in Quadrant I'm getting an I/O score of 3,667. CPU is at 1.2GHz via the ICS bump. I also have my SD card cache set to 4096Kb, which could make a difference.

Well I installed the class 10 SD card but no difference in the I/O speed.
any ideas on how I can get the speed up

Not trying to counter argue at all, but EVERY article I've ever read about LiIon batteries says that full discharges should be avoided as much as possible. I get my info from this site: How to Prolong Lithium-based Batteries - Battery University
 
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.

That's what I thought lol. Thanks for the clarification!

Sarge, if that happens, what are the chances that those of us who went onto 235+ will be out of luck to move on to the JB build since its probably written to only install on top of 905?

HoB should be able to install future updates. In a sense from what I understand it soft bricks us at 905, so we can go up to an update that requires 905 to be installed...SamuriHL was a genius on this one.

Yes, but most lithium ion battery packs have cut out circuits to prevent that from happening. Sometimes that circuit is in the hardware.

From comparing scores in this thread it appears the Quadrant I/O score is actually measuring the internal sd card partition, not the removable sd card. On the Bionic, the internal storage or "media area" as it's sometimes called is mapped to the "sdcard" directory, while the actual removable sd card is mapped to the "sdcard-ext" directory. This confuses a lot of apps, apparently Quadrant being one of them. Bottom line is, it sounds like you have an issue with your internal memory underperforming for some reason (relative to other Bionics that have posted I/O scores here). Not sure what to do about that ... maybe clear your cache/dalvik cache as a start? Anyone else have ideas?

So.....who's watching baseball tonight?

I'm from Dallas. Baseball not a good subject right now. Wanna buy a worthless ass-non hitting-waiting on my new contract left fielder?
 
Its okay, I'm from Phoenix. we trade all the infielders who actually perform and keep waiting for Young and Upton to heat up. It's not gonna happen
 
Ya , I from LA and we spent a quarter of a BILLION after the all star break alone. Only to fall in the standings and go into a slump.
