Degradation of battery.

Thanks fox trot, i never knew you were not suppose to recharge after 15% I'm bad i will use it until i have 4% left. I too used it right wne i got it and drained the battery. I am going to start charging when it hits 15%. Thanks...there is great help here:biggrin:

Actually, under GB, the low warning came on at 15% but since ICS, it comes on at 10%. I think the recommendation is to charge soon after the low battery warning. And, if at all possible, do not let it discharge so low that it shuts down. There have been phones where the battery was too dead that it could not get into charging mode.

Thanks Tis....what about jellybean? you think it will still be 10%

Jelly Bean on my M is still 10%. Don't tell FoxKat... secret, secret, secret... but I am pushing the limits all the time and found myself at 4% more than once.

I heard that ^^ ! :icon_ devil:

Aargh! Oops, I'm in trouble now, lol!

my phone only lasts 3 hours with background data, mobile data, and always-on mobile activated. Turning off these services extends my battery life up to 8 hours. I should just buy 2 extra batts.

Rooted, running Cyan10, BlackWidow I think, based on the Cyan10 frame, no undervolting or overclocking (really waiting for it to become as nice as it was with the DX and Android Overclock), I can safely say the battery life is amazing. I don't use my phone much, but when I do, it doesn't disappoint.

Right now, battery stats are 16h 21m, at 69%. Highest discharge from Slacker Radio and mediaserver. It probably won't be charged again until tomorrow, and that's just because of how slow burning the battery is with this infrequent use.

Huge plus, don't see it getting worse, when I'm at 17% and deciding whether or not to go to school, I end up just letting it be and it gets home safe and sound 12 or 13%. This is a monster battery, I haven't seen a smart phone that can compare with this thing, and I don't know how I'm going to get back on crap battery with the next phone if this isn't universally adopted or improved upon.
