Ok, so I was talking the the big general prerelease thread and I thought of the following:
We need to do a battery experiment to see if there is any difference between using your phone immediately and charging fully while off then using.
So, here is the procedure. If you want to participate you MUST follow this exactly.
Choose one of two groups:
1) Those who fully charge while off as the first thing when they get the phone
2)Those who use the phone immediately,
I know many will want group 2, but please, if you can, do group one if it seems one group has more than the other. We need a good number (at least 15) of people in each group, and the data gets better when the groups are both larger and equal.
All groups must do this:
1)install https://market.android.com/details?id=com.manor.currentwidget&feature=search_result
2)in the app's settings, set polling to 1 second
3)place the widget. I know...you don't want it. But that is the only way to get it to work.
So for Group 1 the procedure is:
1)Open your box.
2)Insert battery/SIM into phone
3) charge USING THE PROVIDED CHARGER until the indicator light says full (green probably)
4)Use your phone completely until it dies
5)Repeat once again (although you do not need to have phone off this time)
6) Give me the csv output. Post it in this thread
For Group 2:
1) open box
2)Use it until it dies
3)charge (on or off--does not matter) until 100%
4)let die
5)repeat
6)give me the csv ouput
Ok, so that is it. Eventually I will have a program that you can run on your own output and just post the results. But until I find out how to get matlab to output a generic java archive, I have to do the analysis. Unless you have matlab.

EDIT: Apparently samsung has a tendency to not give current readings in hardware or driver support, so this may be a useless endeavor. We have to wait for the phone to release to find out, though.
