[General Topics] ToastedJellyBowl:
It is never necessary to discharge your battery lower than 10-20%...ever. For any reason. A lot of people just don't charge their battery when they should and tend to run their batteries completely dead on a regular basis, which is bad on a battery. Calibrating a li-ion battery doesn't quite work the way people seem to think it does.

Generally, all you need to do is once every 1-2 months drain your battery down to 10-20%, but not below 10%. This will flag the chip in the battery that a complete cycle has occurred. Charge your battery back up to full, leaving the phone on is fine. When you use your phone, just try to keep the battery above 50%. Use it for a bit, when you see you're down to 60% or so, plug it in for a bit until you need to leave again that way you aren't constantly running on a low battery, which is detrimental to the life of li-ion batteries. Don't use the phone for long periods of time, while still plugged in and at 100%. Don't discharge your battery from 100%-0% ever, and just try to keep your battery life above 50% if possible, unless you are doing a 100%-10/20% discharge for calibration.

No apps are necessary. You don't need to reboot your phone 4-5 times. Just use smart charging habits and you'll be fine.
[General Topics] Dark3n:
Do you have anything to back this up [MENTION=5628878]ToastedJellyBowl[/MENTION] ?

Otherwise i would file it under "just another bull**** battery ritual".

You don't need any "charging habits" on modern devices, just use your device.

edit: I'll be asking mods to close this necro'd thread as it just helps spread missleading information.
[General Topics] exist2resist:
Lithium Ion battery charges are controlled by a safety circuit embedded in the battery. Without this circuit the battery would allow over charging and explode. No amount of charging or discharging will calibrate your battery. This post is rubbish.

Also Li-ion batteries do not have any memory, so you can charge it at 10% or 90%, and it won't hurt it.

Also completely discharging a Li-ion battery is impossible as the safety circuit embedded on the battery prevents it.

just rang the tech support @ O2 explained the problem to them and here is the solution..

1) take out ur O2 simcard

2) look at the colour and see if its a blue one with the bubbles

if yes then you have a 16k type and you need to order a 32k sim from your service proider.

the tech support is very good, the engineer assured me that the upgraded sim will work fine.

I know I sound like a noob, but truthfully I am a noob when it comes to Sony Xperia devices, the last Sony device I mod'd was a PSP-3000 series. I guess it has been a while, in the mean time I have had an HTC Inspire 4g (Desire HD/Ace) which when it came to development was AMAZING, and then I had an SGH-i777 (the AT&T non LTE variant of the SGS2) I now have an LT28at. I have rooted it and installed CWM. When attempting to flash a rom I get an error 7 message, not my first time getting these but I can't work out a way around it on this phone. I hope my efforts weren't a waste, but if they still were please tell me.

No problem... Ya you gotta be carefull because most of the roms in the dev section require an unlocked bootloader, and there is currentlly no way to unlock the ATT varient of the ion (lt28at). There are some like the Miui port that is locked bootloader friendly though. Make sure you read the roms description and follow instructions EXACTLY maybe read some posts in the thread as well to make sure it is okay to flash on locked bootloader. The cool thing is at least you can flash official ftfs of the other varients when they become available when spectre posts em on that wiki page.

Hello All,

I have a HTC Desire and have rooted it an year ago and went with MIUI and last week did install Paranoidandroid ver 3.10 with JB 4.2 version.My issue is am running out of space so i tried to format my SD card and install apps but my phone wouldnt login so am just using the 150mb space.I guess i have a SD card with class 1 or 2 so if i get a Sandisk Extreme Pro 8gb which reads upto 95 mb/s and write upto 90 mb/s, can i install apps and would it be fast enough? and most importantly would my Desire support it?

Thanks for quick replies,i have done exactly like whats being said ( and thanks for the extremely useful guide abaaaabbbb63) but my Desire didnt boot and i thought it must be due to my slower SD card,so had to reformat the card and have done everything except the Using the Ext partition part so is the problem due to my slower SD card? if so can i get a class 10 sandisk extreme pro card would it be useful ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
I think your rom already has an a2sd script, so no need for installing other scripts. Just read the rom thread for activating the script.

Thanks a lot again but can you please let me know about Sandisk Extreme pro and its performance in Desire?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dethrat:
As we've said. Check your setting it up properly as I don't think you are.

Slower cards don't usually cause bootloops. It's just slower.

And as for the sandisk its completely pointless as the desire will get nowhere near the full speed. You'd be wasting the extra cost.

No noticeable battery drain. Goes one and half day. I am not music and video guy, but 3G, emailing, sms, calls, wifi, etc on most of the time.

I use Advanced Task Killer, which stays in memory all the time and kills other unwanted background apps EVERY HALF hour in CRAZY mode.:good:Works perfect on all of my androids since last three years.

I also use Smart Profile which Automatically, Darkens screen to 20%, starts silent profile, switches off 3g/2g data, BT, wifi, etc all at 11pm automatically. In the morning the profile automatically changes back to normal at 7:30AM. :D

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] gdjindal:
As per my observation, I think main cause of battery drainage in JB is media scanning service wich runs too slow and consumes lots of battery. After stopping this service from running services, battery percentage stops getting down. But i am unable to freeze this service. One more reason to freeze this service is that we can't use any stock app related to media while media scan is running. I even don't know after freezing media scan what bad thing can happen.

To stop media scan, long press on media scanning notification in notification area, then tap on app info, it will open app info of system ui just force close it, then go to settings=> apps=>running services, find media service running there, just stop it and media scan will stop. But i will not recommend you to stop media scan. By stopping media scanning you will unable to see file in file manager that you will add after stopping Media scan. Use this on your own responsibility. Rebooting device will resume media scan.
