No prerequisite like that. I suggest you let the battery drain COMPLETELY the first time, and then charge it from scratch./

From http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Your-Cell-Phone-Battery-Last-Longer

New batteries should be fully charged before their first use to obtain maximum capacity. Nickel-based batteries should be charged for 16 hours initially and run through 2-4 full charge/full discharge cycles, while lithium ion batteries should be charged for about 5-6 hours.

Ignore the phone telling you that the battery is full—this is normal but is not accurate if the battery is not initialized. DO NOT fully discharge a lithium-ion battery! Unlike Ni-Cd batteries, lithium-ion batteries' life is shortened every time you fully discharge them. Instead, charge them when the battery meter shows one bar left. Lithium-ion batteries, like most rechargeable batteries, have a set number of charges in them.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

I would have done it, but I got mine for around 750-800 USD here in Norway, so its cheaper for you on ebay I guess.

That's pretty steep. I can wait until I'm able to upgrade, which would be in a little more than a year. I'm sure they'll have it here by then, or maybe something even better. I just can't stand the lagging on my cell right now.

Follow tyhe suggestions for Lithium ion battery from that post.

So basically, the first time I charge it 6 hours.
And afterwards, never charge it until only one tab is left?

Sorry for asking stupid questions

My battery dies everyday.

No.


Just make sure to charge your new phone when you get one with a Lithium-Ion battery and never wait for the battery to die in order to charge it. When it reaches one bar on the battery meter, charge it.


Oh and that doesn't mean you shouldn't charge it unless only one bar is left but that's the maximum amount you have before your battery is infected.

 

[Fake Melo]

Thanks bro. But how long shall I charge it the first time?
And can I use it while I am charging it?

 

[JCK]

It is not reccomend it to use it while chargin. Let it charge completely then drain the battery until the phone dies, charge again (without using) and you should be fine.

I've heard this theory before a number of times but just don't buy into it. Since my Nokia days actualy

That's what confused me about the Xperia. Even if it had completely died, it would turn on when you start to charge it, and would stay on no matter how many times you tried to turn it off.

I'll most probably get an LG Optimous One next week equipped with the Androib 2.2 OS. Is it worth the go, guys? Software wise ofcourse.

iPhone 4 is good indeed

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I think the O1 is a pretty good phone for its price.

If you're getting an Androib you should double check, could be a cheap knock off
