all the network providers would tell you to charge your phone for 16 hours before using it. |

The life of the batt can only be judged only after 4 to 5 recharge cycles.

I wasn't kidding gov. I didn't use the phone more than 5 times during that period.

the batt reches its max performance between the second week and 2 month, but u have to charge the batt after the same method to get the best out of it

Thanks _ANDI_ !
I mean, all we need in the software is something to
A) Turn the screen/phone OFF when done carging,
B) A message saying "CHARGED"
C) Phone to sprout arms and remove charger itself.
I realise that C is a long-shot, but come on SE, give us some basic features on top of the great ones we already have! |

@holywars: all we need is a confirmation message now, the rest is allready done. But, not sure who mentioned, the battery meter is pretty acurate. Don't you think guys?

Yes, assuming you're not using the old R2A firmware. The old firmware displays a wrong battery level but the newer ones are pretty accurate.
I think charging it for a max of 4 hours or until the battery indicator doesn't animate anymore would be quite enough. Charging it beyond that (though harmless) is pointless IMO.
resistance is futile. |

Yeah. It was me who told earlier that the battery indicator was fairly accurate. I still think so.

Whenver the LED on the side of S700 stops being red, I unplug it - but, mine charges either every night or every 2nd night, so its already fit for fight in the morning.

The general idea is dont leave a phone plugged to the mains for more than 24 hours at a stretch.

24hrs? When you first charge your battery, most recommend charge it for 24 hours. Most ppl also say dont leave the charger connected to phone for more then a week. 24hours wont do any harm, only if more then 1 week. |

24 hours is the limit. 1 week is over the top.
