First time battery charging

[Guest nabilfady]

Dear all i want to know how many hours i have to charge the battery for the first time?

[Guest SozzaSinnian]

Till the light turns from orange to green. I usually unplug it at this point remove the battery for 30 seconds then connect to charger again till green. But saying that most seem to come with Lithium-Ion batteries now which don't have the 'memory effect' so it's more of a bad habit than anything else lol

Dear XXXX, HTC and Sprint are taking steps to improve observed battery life. HTC is developing a number of handset software optimizations that are expected to increase device operating times. These up-dates are expected to be available as part of software pushes scheduled for later this summer. As with any software development effort, we cannot provide an exact date. Additionally, Sprint is working to optimize 4G network settings to improve battery life for customers in 4G markets. I will be happy to go over various setting with you that will help extend the battery life.


-Traditionally WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, and display brightness all greatly impact battery performance.

-With Android 2.1 another feature that can kill your battery are the Live Wallpapers. If you’re using Live Wallpaper just turn if off.

-Adjust the Brightness of the display (Menu | Settings | Sound & Display | Brightness). By default it is set to auto adjust but you can manually adjust it down.

-Consider adjusting the display timeout (Menu | Settings | Sound & Display | Screen Timeout). The default value is 1 minute but you can reduce it to as low as 15 sec but 30 seconds.

-By default your HTC Incredible vibrates every time you press a key. Turn it off by un-checking the box ‘Vibrate when typing’. Menu | Settings | Language & Keyboards | Touch Input | Text Input | Vibrate when typing.

-If Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Email, App up-dates, or many other things are constantly popping notifications, consider turning some of them off as notifications do impact battery performance; This is done in each app.


To also help with Battery Life you can do these steps exactly:

1) Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or more

2) Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour

3) Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF and charge for another hour Your battery life should almost double, we have tested this on our devices and other agents have seen a major difference as well.
