11-09-2009 09:21 AMI didn't. Turned mine on and had a decent amount of battery left. You can always play on the phone while charging it.

11-09-2009 09:23 AMThanks, I know that on my other phones the VZW made a big deal about charging overnight. With the updates in Battery technology this seems reasonable.

11-09-2009 09:26 AMTake into account that its always better to let the battery drain completely before charging. Doing this can prolong the life of the battery cells. So the answer is No, you dont have to charge it...power it on and use it until its about to die and then charge it fully.

11-09-2009 01:10 PMThanks to new technology there is something they call "charging intelligence". Wich means u dont have to switch or phone on, play it empty, recharge it full and so on if u got it new.... just play wif it and recharge whenever u want!

03-19-2010 05:26 PMIn the fold out pamphlet that came with my droid.. in the "Charge and power on your device" section is says, "...remember to fully charge your battery before use."
Who do I listen to! -

03-19-2010 05:32 PMNeither, unfortunately. While it's true that lithium ion batteries don't have a memory effect that requires discharging them fully, it is also true that the battery meter on your droid is extremely inaccurate in a new phone. When it says it's fully charged, it's actually only about 70% charged. Originally Posted by Kaolc
