I admit that this was a practice I long held of waiting until it’s fully discharged before recharging due to battery “memory”. Being that the G1 has a lithium polymer battery it’s generally advisable to NOT go full dis & re-charge chronically but every 30 or so times. “Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion does not cause harm because there is no memory. (In this respect, lithium-ion differs from nickel-based batteries.)” ,Michael Martin http://www.googleandblog.com/ From: Disconnect [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2009 10:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [android-discuss] Re: Android or G1 is eating too much battery power? Step one in solving g1/adp1 battery problems is to recalibrate the battery. The factory calibration is terrible. So drain it until it will not turn on, at all, no matter what. Then charge it - on or off - with the shipped charger for at -least- 8 hours, and anything up to 24. It is -very- important that it be charged -uninterrupted-. (And the shipped charger is better because it delivers more power, so its more likely to work if you only have 8 hours..) Step two is to uninstall locale. :) On Sat, Jan 24, 2009 at 3:59 AM, blindfold <[email protected]> wrote: Could also be related to the lack of a (JIT) compiler with Android, such that many more CPU cycles are needed for any given task that is not implemented in native code. Vice versa, having a compiler lets one throttle down the CPU clock frequency for a given real-time task, which in turn allows for lowering the CPU voltage, both allowing for major power savings.
