Topic says it all:)

Some do it every night. Some do it every couple of days. Then are those who do it every time they get into the office. I’m talking about charging your phone. How often do you do yours?

Do u charge ur 4n overnight? Is charging for 6 hours necessary for the initial charge? Do u wait 2 charge till the 4n switches off due to lack of power or do u charge when there's 50% available? How will this effect ur 4n battery life n ur 4n?

Discuss:)

I charge it;
1. when the phone indicates that the battery is low, or
2. if there is only 2 or 3 indicator marks are left (out of 5) and I'm going out for the whole day

And I stop charging as soon as the phone indicates it has finished.

When the counter get reduced to 2 or 3 bars then plug it in!!

After sometime when its full plug it out!! that's it!! What's the big issue?

I'm totally satisfied with my phones battery life, It can stay on standby mode easily over a week no probs!!

If heavy duty then maybe around 3 days!!

    Explain... why? :confused:

    well normally batt life depends on how many times you charge it.
    So if you charge it every time you see 1 or 2 blocks missing from that batt level meter, you not gonna keep your batt long in top condition.

    Other than unavoidable circumstances wait until phone says batt low and then fully charge it non stop. Better if you can do that while the phone is off.

    And you can not trust that batt level indicator too. If you charge and stop before its fully charged or charge when therez enough power remain on the battery, then charging cycles can go wrong and indicators will show wrong info.
    As an example it takes long to miss the first block when its fully charged but after that other blocks are going down very fast.

    If thats the case drain it until the phone turn off by it self. And charge it back to full to recover the cycle. But don't do that batt drain process very often.

    Sounds interesting...But when you think about the practical use..sometimes you cant take the chance of running outta battery when u r at work or class or where ever...i do this every now and then....let the battey drain to zero and recharge it to the maximum...

    Usually I charge it when it says batt low. Then charge it until it's fully charged.

    Have 2 chargers. 1 at home and another one in my laptop bag - a battery operated charger which gives about 2 - 3hrs of talk time batt power in case of an emergency.
