no, the battery itself has overcharge protection built in.

Latest firmware is the best. It has less bugs and more reliability when using the phone... And about charging, I always charge the phone during the night. Never got any problems with overcharging or whatever.

I think you have a fake battery. |

Fake, old and long time no used batteries may result in having short running time. Try charging the battery fully (to 100%) and draining it to 0% then. Repeat that process 3 or 4 times and see what happens.

that method doesn't really apply to lithium batteries. It sounds like the battery needs replacing.

3G eats up battery life like a monster. But in some places, though I didnt search for networks, it just pops up, and there goes about 5% of my battery.
Can this be disabled or something? |

it can be disabled...go to setting, connectivity, mobile networks, there is 3G/GSM option, chose GSM only. |
