Battery calibration

[ldopa]

Man, 13 hours? I wish I got that much. My batter is only 5 months old. To get through the day I need to charge it again. I wouldn't say I'm a heavy user, maybe moderate. I wonder if it's an app or something. Does being rooted have anything to do with it?

I heard the best time to run battery calibrator is when the batter is just about dead to get the full effect. Any thoughts on this?

actually it's the opposite. calibrate at 100%

Would you recommend using battery calibrator without doing a nandroid backup first? I haven't made one yet

You don't need to make a backup. You're not doing anything that can mess up the phone. Its just a calibration. As far as I know anyways. Not like you're flashing anything.

The way I did it was have my phone go to 100% and calibrate while plugged in then when it was done I unplugged my phone.

+1 just make sure you're charged to 100% before calibrating. After that, run your phone down to 0% and then fully charge it back with one charge.

I didn't know you were suppose to run it down to 0. Well time for me to recalibrate

Got it. Charge to full then calibrate then run it to 0 before charging again. I would be happy if this worked even just a little!

One last thing, I checked the app description and it says that it works best when the phone is about dead. Run it and then charge it all night with the phone off.

Everywhere I have read bout batteries said to charge it to 100 then calibrate. I would do what Droid said. Charge it to 100 kill it then charge it to 100 completely.

I never let my phone go to 0. I didn't read that part. Oh well. Jut gotta do it again no big deal. Ever realize how hard it is to kill your battery when you need to? Hahaha.

That pic looks different then the app I have now battery calibrator. I the app I have says to do it the opposite way. Weird. Thanks for the comments though, ill do it the way you showed me.
