The LED will turn green once it's 100%.

Don't worry about letting the phone die and charging it up to 100%.

These batteries don't have a "memory" like older phones

Mine came dead too. Charged it to 100% and now been using it and so far have 36% on 3h 9m on battery.

Screen at 84%

Does the battery life get better? Because it seems to be draining rather quick. Even though I have screen brightness less than half.

1. Activate and mess the heck out of it until it dies completely.
2. Charge it up to 100%
3. Mess the heck out of it again until it dies completely.
4. Charge it up to 100%
5. Mess the heck out of it again until it dies completely.
6. Charge it up to 100%

Then use it normally

@Maroon Mushroom, Correct these lithium batteries dont have memory effect, but over discharging them will shorten its life.

I dont want to sound like an expert, but discharging the battery until it dies is not recommended. It will affect battery life/performance.

A couple of good references here: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/a..._ion_batteries

Ya, we use Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries now which dont have a memory. The older Lithium Polymer (Li-Pol) batteries did have a memory and needed a certain charge method to get the longes life cycle out of it.

Awesome, thanks everyone


I turned it off at 20% and wen't to go buy my MicroSIM (ugh...) cant wait to play with it tomorrow

Why would you buy it? Pretty sure they would give one to you for free

bought it off Kijiji

It's offered by Rogers, but i'm on Telus

Hmm, i hate the idea of letting it die completely. But what i've always done is turned everything on and ran it through a low-powered usb source so it has a charge but the battery is still draining. So even if the battery runs dead it has power via USB plug [make sense?]. Usually having everything on [i do mean everything] and downloading a torrent so the internet is constantly under use. Then again i'm not sure how the One X will work out for this, but thats what i'm planning .

guys its lithium...u cant drain it to 0...even when android shuts down your at around 3.6volts. thats definetly not 0volts. no memory and android wont let you ruin your battery...so charge however whenever.

im qualified in lead acid. ni cad. nimh and lithium batteries. trust me..u cant hurt it unless you short it! !
