Default Has anyone noticed???

Has anyone noticed their battery life getting better during the past week?
I read somewhere that it takes a couple of charges to reach it's full potential.

Thanks

Mine is always best when i have time to give it a complete charge. If I give it a partial charge in the car it seems to die right away again, but will a complete overnight charge (with the plug in the icon instead of the lightning bolt) it will last three days.

you are correct in noticing this trend - it's common in modern rechargeable batteries - they need a few charge/discharge cycles to really get going

Thanks for the reply.....I bought the phone on the 8th and I've only had to charge it twice(with very little use though) and I am looking forward to even better battery life!

Yea I have defintely noticed it but I'm not sure if its because the battery is getting stronger or because I am using the phone a little less than the 1st week I had it, lol.

mine got maybe 2 days max and this week I got 3 days and even had to put on a movie last night and let it play for 35 min before the battery was at 5%. I always try to let it get really low before charging it.
