@Blanco720, I feel you on this. But, I will say this, as a gadget lover, I don't see why when I buy a new device I have to go through the motions of either conditioning a battery, or even more drastic, 'turning' off certain options to just get 10-12 hours of use...
In addition, I hate that the manufactures state things like, "standby 5-7 days", and stuff like that. It drives me mad, especially when you get the device and can't even use it for a full solid day...
those time frames are based on an average user cycle that is established in the industry. The average user doesnt use the phone every second like we do. Also why does it bother you to condition your battery? When you purchase a new car you have to break it in, so the mpg/brakes get the best use. so why should it be different with a phone and a battery? The problem is we as a people are to damn lazy to do what we have to. We just want everything done for us and this is why we have become such a disposable society
