The article isnt wrong at all...but it leaves out important information.
The entire purpose of recalibrating is to reset those stats when moving to a new rom.
On that new rom/system you habbits will not change...but the system and its reaction have...why would you want pre programmed responses from a completely different setting ?
I chalk this up to being 3 notches up above the whole sbc kernels are bad debate....because this guy isnt necessarily wrong. He is definitely right in the fact that the recalibration should not take place multiple times on the same rom. Even the calibration apks recomend only once.
I have also yet to see (after a rom change) my phone recalibrate itself after days of use. On those rom changes that i get horrible battery life that horrible experience lasts for days....the only fix has been the recalibration.
I stand by my recenetly found guns.....when you flash a new rom fully charge the phone, unplug and run a battery recalibration apk.
I gave my son his phone in May...it has run cm7 the entire time..horrible battery life. I blamed him. Ran the recalibration last week and the battery life on that phone has been trippled with no changes in how he abuses that phone.
I have done the same on all of our devices....the infuse the evo and the inspire.....positive effects on all devices.
What i dont understand though....why does using the apk differ from doing it in recovery other than the key instruction of ensuring the phone has 100% charge.
As for you are damaging this and that inside your battery.....i dismiss every speculation until someone rips apart a battery and proves it.![]()
I agree 100%. It is also pretty much what I said in my post above, but you added a lot more useful detail.
I also completely concur that re-calibrating your battery does zero damage to it. You are simply wiping the statistics for it, which do come back as it relearns everything.![]()
In my experience, even if you do not re-calibrate, usually, the battery life improves after a few charging cycles anyway after flashing a new ROM because it needs that time to acclimate to it.
That's the only part I disagree with
I have yet to see any of our roms, on any of our devices improve over charging cycles.
When I was on the Hero I always recalibrated, since i got the EVO I haven't. I should probably try it and see, since I've owned both phones. Ask Andy, he had both phones as well see if he has any experience.
I'll be on vacation for this week, not gonna fix something that ain't broke while I'm without pc backup.![]()

Haha, Granite1. I forgot that this is where you went to after your Sprint HTC Hero.
It is nice to see some familiar faces here. I like that.![]()
I think its awesome they made you and Andy guides! Yinz were and still are god sends!![]()
Ed, these two were all over the hero forum. I swear it was seconds not minutes for a response. I'm suprised no one ever set up odds, over under and spreads, and started running books!
On another note, you would be a good mod or guide, you've been a huge part of this community. Like I said before you'll be missed if or when you go.
