I let the thing drain until it turned off, then turned it back on and drain some more then charged it while it was off when I first got it.. should I get a new battery because right now I can barely last 8 hours with set cpu and all the stuff.. Ive done many calibration things but no change..

I think it's unlikely you ruined your battery but it couldn't hurt to swap it out at a Sprint store, I'm sure they would do that for you
Is it free?

If you have insurance, yes

Getting the battery to too low of a voltage can damage it, yes. It's unlikely you actually managed that though.

I had an inspire and the screen was great loved the camera and of course android. But the battery life was so so even with the custom rom. Returned yesterday and got the atrix. No complaints so for other than stock blur which I downloaded launcher pro over. Battery life excellent and I like the screen. Anyone else with a good experience?

Atrix battery is sad too.

The atrix's battery is excellent....18hrs from full charge and still 30+% battery left...and this is with heavy usage (4+hours with screen on, browsing, downloading apps, youtube, whatsapp, etc)

It's supposed to do that.
It doesn't charge up to 100% to preserve the battery's health, it's designed this way.
If you really want it up to 100%, you can always bump charge it.

Found a way to make my battery last longer. Strange, but every time I reboot the phone, I gain 20% back. How can this be and is this something I should be concerned about or just a if it ain't broke thing?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Calibrate your battery.
Charge your phone to 100%. If it stops changing before 100%, your phone is reporting a wrong battery percentage, ie the battery is at 100% but the phone thinks it is at 80%.
You can try this
Does it matter that im completely stock and locked? Only rooted.

I've had it for months. You will see the difference. It was stronger for the first week or 2 then lost some of its hold time but blows away my stock epic. I just ordered the anker 1800 from amazon for 11.99. Ill see how that one compares

You can get 2 1800mah batteries on eBay for $12 and free shipping.
Also I've heard talk of a compatible 3500mah battery on Amazon (?). Going to check that out today.

I want to verify that we are talking about using a battery designed for an Epic touch in and Epic slider. I have an SPH D700 that I need the best battery I can find without the backside footprint of the phone changing. Otherwise I wont be able to dock in my car anymore
I use the mp3 feature of my phone, all day, every day (podcasts and audible). Within weeks of a new battery (stock) I barely make it til 2pm before having to charge. If I can't find a battery that can carry the load I'm going to just have two and a drop in charger, switching them out during my usually 10 hour long work days.
Thanks in advance everyone.
Yes the Epic Touch Galaxy S2 1800 mAh battery fits perfectly and gives you 20% more battery life.

you shouldn't have a problem downloading a 1 or 2gig movie within 30 minutes to an hr, it'll drain your battery half way regardless of kernel though.
If you're worried, you should stop pirating or Johnny Law will be on your rear. jkjk
To answer your question, just use it without connecting to the charger. Also, calibrating the battery is not necessary either.

So draining the battery regularly doesn't hurt it?
So in conclusion connecting the charger hurts the battery?

Keeping your battery at 100% all the time (letting your phone plugged into the charger) is literally the worst thing you could possibly do to the battery besides overheating it.
If you want to get the longest lifespan out of the battery, keep it between 40 and 80% and under 40°C (which is why the N4 starts throttling itself at 38°C)

Of course it will. It's a battery. They only have so many charge cycles. You can always buy another. With a little effort the battery can be swapped out.
That's right anyway I just wanted to know the least way I can damage the battery while downloading. ..do u have a suggestion

I can't give you advice on how to make piracy less damaging to your phone. That's against the rules.

I just had my lawyer answer a ~1800 euro claim for some song that had magically found its way into my torrent downloading software. He charged me 208€.
Don't download pirated media..
He never said he was downloading copyrighted material... plenty of legal Ubuntu torrents available and last time I checked that's not piracy
