Actually, lithium polymer batteries and lithium ion batteries need not be discharged before you charge it. It actually reduces the life cycle of the battery if you discharge it too often. The number one enemy of these types of batteries is heat. In the manual of my SE Elm, it is actually advised that I charge my phone as often as possible in order to prolong battery life.
N.B.
The discharge-recharge of batteries that we had became so accustomed of is because the older types of batteries like the Ni-CD and Ni-MH batteries which really need to be cycled because of the memory effect. The newer Li-Po and Li-Ion type of batteries does not suffer from the same memory effect as the old Ni-Cd type.

Hi again, Jojo!
These are wonderful bits of information when it comes to battery information. I am about to start the third charging cycle of my new phone's battery and the first two cycles I did were based on the second set of battery facts you mentioned.
Thank you, kabayan!

@alenn
Wow! The phone melted? What was it? was it due to over charging that the batteries overheated?
It's a good thing that modern chargers stops charging when the phone is already fully charged but I still remove the phone from the charger once the phone is fully charged.
@aldrinus
Glad to be of some help kabayan!
Cheers.  |

1.Turn off your Bluetooth
2. Disable vibration mode.
3.lower the brightness at specific level.
4.Set the Power saver mode and the listening volume to the low values will help too
5.Switch off the phone if you don’t use. |

It is important to condition (fully charged and then discharged) battery every two or three weeks. If not, can significantly shorten the battery life (this does not apply to Li-Ion batteries which do not require air conditioning). Filling just run the battery of the device until it shuts down or until you get a low battery warning. Then recharge the battery user manual for instructions. If the battery is not used for months or more, it is recommended that you remove the device and stored in a cool, dry and clean. This keeps the battery will lose its runtime, and possibly damage the battery or device. It is normal that battery becomes hot to touch during charging and discharging. Only in extreme heat should be considered as potentially dangerous and the battery for a professional.

@alfiealvins
Conditioning applies only to Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries and like you said, it does not apply to Li-Ion batteries. It also does not apply to Li-Po batteries which does not suffer from the memory effect like I posted earlier.

Heya guys! I charge the battery of my Vivaz every day because in moderate to high usage it's battery "survives" about 1 - 1.5 days. Listening to music is one of the things I do most often on my phone and I've noticed that this uses a lot of juice. I'm using AKG K324P headphones in case that matters. On the contrary, taking pictures which (I think) is supposed to drain the battery faster than anything else is not a problem for this phone. Once I took about 200 pics and the battery dropped from 90% to 70%. That's quite good I think.
Even if Vivaz's screen is not the brightest one you should decrease it's brightness if you want to save some more juice. Disabling 3G in areas where there's no good 3G coverage helps too. |

Draining fully a Li-Ion battery shortens it's battery life. |
