I'm not questioning you. I'm just saying we were told to say once a week, like as a legit rule, and yet on the website it says once a month.

Is it true that if you microwave the iPhone the battery charges.

Why don't you try it

Is horrible, I thought my android was bad but while I love my iPhone I hate how it dies so quickly. I downloaded an app called battery idk if is helpful tho.

I've had my phone for almost 2 years. It's not an iPhone, but in regards to your battery question, that has to be a myth and I can debunk it.

When I'm home, I always have my phone charged/plugged in. I only disconnect it when I leave the house. I leave the brightness down and it lasts all day if I'm not heavily on it. I never unplug my battery. Wouldn't it be the opposite?

Back in the day, when I used rechargeable battery's for my Gameboy/Walkman, the battery life would slowly get less and less and eventually not charge anymore. Keeping it plugged in 24/7 actually saves your battery, at least from MY experience. The power source is then coming from the electricity outlet, not your battery. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3.

I can debunk that. Unless it's just my phone, but I have no battery issues after 2 years. Although previously owned, my phone would go from 100% to like 40% within a few hours and I WASN'T EVEN ON IT! It was just on, but in "standby" mode.

Surprisingly though my S3 has a long life and maybe it's because I always have it plugged in???

Are iPhone's really that different that they get damaged when plugged in AFTER it gets to 100% o.O My phone says "Please disconnect phone" but I ignore it and leave it plugged in for the rest of the day.

I don't want to be a post ***** and do a third post, but you are supposed to let your phone drain all the way out and then charge it? Or is this only for iPhones? I've NEVER let my phone go under 20%. I freak out when it gets to 50% and have to rush to the charger. I really have no problems with my phone using my techniques I described so this doesn't really affect me. I'll keep doing what I'm doing. Maybe my battery just got lucky.

My previous phone though, ugh. The battery wasn't even being used and it drained just like that. I eventually got into the habit of just turning my phone off when I'm going to work or just not using it/checking it. Now it's ok

No it wont.

I believe most phones have a 500 charging cycle. After that the battery degrades SLOWLY so no fuss.

The iPhone battery is decent but my Lumia 920 is a beast.

This is false. Closing apps gives you more battery life as it closes apps running in the background.

Also, while your second statement is true for other phones, on the iPhone (and the Lumias), it automatically stops charging when you reach 100%.

I charge my phone overnight (My iPhone before and now the 920) and I see no issues whatsoever. It's all about charging cycles now.

No it doesn't. Again, charging cycles. Whether you charge it at 50% or 10% you will still get the same results.

I believe your mom's phone is busted. She might have it checked out.

I agree with letting it drain out every week to keep battery fresh.

I've had an iPhone 5 for almost two years and I only charge it when it gets under 20%. On some rare occasions I charge it when it's at 50% either because I'm going out for the night or because I used it too much during school.

I don't know if it does something, but sometimes I close all the apps that are running. When I leave my house, I turn Wi-Fi off and put the 3G network on. Another tip is to disable LTE, because it consumes a lot more battery than 3G and I think that 3G is fast enough.

I've read that closing apps in iOS doesn't improve battery life, as they're not using battery power. The only thing I've noticed from closing apps is improved performance from the increased RAM available.

I have an iPhone 5 that I've had for 9 months now. I have no problems with it. But as for any device, the more you use it, the faster it'll drain.
