No, you can't really overcharge. It will stop pulling as much current when it's full and it will basically trickle charge to keep the battery topped off. I plug my phone in every night and leave it charging while I sleep, so my phone is plugged in for at least 7 hrs overnight.

My first charge lasted 24 hours with normal use.

Did you let it fully drain?

And recharge fully while off?

That usually helps new batteries reach their full potential

I'm at 15 and half hours with 22% left.

Yes I did exactly that

Stock launcher, most bloatware disabled but I underclocked to 810 and I don't notice any difference except of course better battery life.
Edit: I couldve pulled more battery life but I had put it back to 1512 for about 20 minutes playing gta 3 I could have probably played at 810 but i didn't want it to force close or anything

Sounds exactly like mine. I should be getting a new battery tomorrow I will update if anything changes.

Are your getting a new battery from MetroPCS? Did you have to buy it or are they giving it to you since you may have a defective battery?

They didn't have any motions or batteries in stock so they ordered one for me it is a warranty item I am not paying for it (whether or not I get it in a timely manner is a whole other topic). Also:

OnTrion

That is how mine is and according to the metropcs people it isn't normal. I am getting one of those extended batteries as soon as they are available and then I'm underclocking the processor to something stupid like 500mhz if I can get away with it.

How do you tell which model you are?

 

[Matthew83]

Download CPU master on the play store. If you are rooted you can change the CPU speed too.

So I looked at antutu for system info I guess I have the 1.5 to?

Yup.

 

[nicstocks]

Been unplugged for 1 day 15 hours and still have 20% left, removed JD ultimate, deleted all bloatware, powersave on immediately, brightness at 13% and cpu min set at 486 max 810. I'm impressed

P.S. this is normal use made some calls, texts took pics, vids, browsed the web, played some games, ran a few benchmarks

Are you saying it went down to 20% or only by 20%?

 

[old_member]

He meant by 20% if you read closely
