Hi guys,
I have some questions about the battery:
1- Can i let the phone charging all night long and disconnect just in the morning ? Is it good for the battery ?
2- What care should I have with the battery?
Thanks

Hi There,
I'm doing the same thing as you describe - leaving the phone charged while i'm sleeping. I'm thinking it should be alright, since the battery is designed to charge, discharge a little (repeat), while it's connected and near 100%.

Is there a manual for it? I just bought it and for example I am not sure how to get the back off to insert the battery!

Yes, on the HTC site.

Thanks guys.
Quick one. The guy in the Orange shop said charge the Diamond for 8 hours with it switched off on first use. Is that the best amount of time to charge?
Also, I see the battery already has some charge on it, if that makes any difference.

Just charge it until it reaches 100% and you will be ok. Besides, after the battery is charged it doesn't do anything more so no need to have it charging for 8 hours. No need either to have the phone turned off. And try not to let the battery drain completely before charging. Don't let it drop below 10-15%.
Currently it shows 3 bars on the battery. It came with that out of the box. Does that mean I should wait for that to drain before recharging?
No. All devices come with the battery partially charged. Just plug it in (it is better to use your pc for charging rather than the AC charger) and let it charge until it reaches 100%.
Hi people
Yeah yeah ... stop blaming me for asking such a noop Q

There is no BEST way to calibrate your battery. We all have our own theories.
The stamina mode thing is a semi bug, you shouldn't worry about it.
With semi bug I mean: The phone learns from your daily tasks and then adjusts the stamina mode time to it.
Mine also says 9 hours, with stamina mode 21 hours or so. But I'm not worried because I can get a lot more then that.
When you clear the cache (Dont remember from what service/app) the stamina mode time resets to "normal".

Best way to calibrate your battery, is keep charging your phone when it needs to be charged, and make sure that you followed the charge instructions when you opened the box. Then after about 3 weeks the battery will be as good as it is going to get.
There's an extensive discussion regarding the necessity of calibration in the thread linked in my signature. If you read the first few pages you will realise it is not needed.

Calibration is not require...if your phone die too quick get one of those portable battery charger, it look like a damn tampon, but it will do the job, 2000mah.
Actually
I recieved the phone as a gift and I think it was turned on and tested and they didn't charged it before first use...
Is this first charge thing that effective?

No not really. It's a li-ion battery and they just don't need that type of treatment. Alot of people will harp and whine that it does but that's pretty much just people stuck in old ways (sony themselves have a note with it saying charge for 30 minutes before use) . The only thing that's "bad" for the battery is continually jump charging it eg plugging it in to charge at say 40%, only letting it reach 60%, unplug it, use it for a few hours and do the same thing. That and maintaining a full charge for a long period of time or maintaining a very low charge for a long period of time.
However I would charge my S2 every once during the day, then again at night and leave it on charge till the morning. Leaving plugged in for excess of 5 hours every night at full charge hasn't caused any noticeable harm. They have sensors to slow current flow to a trickle when they are at full charge to prevent over charging so I guess that does the trick to prevent it from reaching true 100% charge.
Rule of thumb; when the phone tells you to plug into charger, that;s right about the best time to do so. Later wont matter so much, but earlier and you are basically wasting a charge cycle and shortening it's life.
My S2 is still on it's original battery though and it is still going strong after approx 2 years.
The best way to calibrate would be to stop fiddling and let the phone do it's thing. Reboots and recovery mess with it alot as alot of battery percentage gets lost during both of those and throws it way out. A couple complete charge and discharge cycles without powering down should be all it needs
Hey :fingers-crossed:
Is it OK to keep my phone charging all night, I mean if i put my phone at 10 pm it's fully charge 100% at 1 or 2 am, after that, is it OK to keep it charging till i woke up on 8 or 9 am ?
- I mean does it hurt the battery in the long run ??
Thanks !

Sorry is this has already been asked before, I did search around.
I just got my HTC One a few days ago, and after coming from a Galaxy Nexus, I think that this is a extremely good phone. Obviously I'm very careful with it and don't want to damage it, but I'm worried that the way I'm charging my device is decreasing (or will decrease) my batteries life span.
I keep it plugged in all night because I obviously I don't want to charge it during the day. So does keeping the phone plugged in all night damage the battery or does it just stop charging all together once it reaches 100%?

It doesn't damage anything. I charge my phone the same way you do and my battery lasts as long as it did the first day i got it.

There is no problem keeping the phone on charge even if it reached 100% The only advice regarding battery that I can give you is: try not letting the phone discharge to 0%. Some ppl here had issues reviving their phones after a full discharge.

I never had any problems with discharging to 0%, but good advice anway [emoji106]
Hello guys, I'm not too deep into the smartphones stuff, and I wanted to know if I should use my cellphone while it's charging.
I don't know if it can damage the battery or mess up with the fast charge.
Hooping for good answers, thanks
Doesn't matter anymore. Smartphones are now smarter than ever when it comes to battery. What's unhealthy for the battery is if you constantly drain it to zero and then charge to 100%, which won't happen to the P10 because it will automatically shut down at 2%.

Summarizing, the less the battery discharges , the better.
