It's supposed to do that.
It doesn't charge up to 100% to preserve the battery's health, it's designed this way.
If you really want it up to 100%, you can always bump charge it.

Also to note. Bump charging can cause problems, so read that to decide whether or not you want to do it.

Oh ok thanks..so just leave it at is? It bugs me but I can live with it lol

Got my new 1800 mA battery today...

Gonna try out the epic touch battery...was definitely a tight fit in the phone, but it fits!

Awesome, thanks for letting us know. I think you're the first to try one of those
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA

I read some reviews of the battery in Amazon before I ordered it...saw some people mention using it in the epic...just wanted to share the news in case others didn't know.

I've had it for months. You will see the difference. It was stronger for the first week or 2 then lost some of its hold time but blows away my stock epic. I just ordered the anker 1800 from amazon for 11.99. Ill see how that one compares

I got the 2x Anker 1800 with charger for 22 bucks and they've been pretty good to me so far.

I think the OEM might hold it's life longer than Anker, I also have one and I enjoy having the small boost in battery life

This. Lol if it was only $9 more for OEM it was more than worth it.

Clue, how much did you pay for an OEM 1800, if you don't mind me asking?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Paid $21...free shipping. Amazon...

Guess I'm the lucky one. My local Sprint store rep just handed me one and said, "Here ya go! Let me know how it works for ya!"
So far, battery life is MUCH better on CM9/AOKP vs. stock battery.

You can get 2 1800mah batteries on eBay for $12 and free shipping.
Also I've heard talk of a compatible 3500mah battery on Amazon (?). Going to check that out today.

Those are not genuine oem batteries. They are Hong Kong knock offs.

I want to verify that we are talking about using a battery designed for an Epic touch in and Epic slider. I have an SPH D700 that I need the best battery I can find without the backside footprint of the phone changing. Otherwise I wont be able to dock in my car anymore
I use the mp3 feature of my phone, all day, every day (podcasts and audible). Within weeks of a new battery (stock) I barely make it til 2pm before having to charge. If I can't find a battery that can carry the load I'm going to just have two and a drop in charger, switching them out during my usually 10 hour long work days.
Thanks in advance everyone.

Yes the Epic Touch Galaxy S2 1800 mAh battery fits perfectly and gives you 20% more battery life.

so the battery life is better i bought one and had overheating issues and never went back

(Q) Android system insane battery drain?

Lately I've been having serious battery drain, 30% over 2 hours, couldn't find any explanation. Been reading about wakelocks so i took some pictures of battery stats.
Hopefully you guys can help me,

HSPA is draining your phone. Seriously. Whatever I do when I use mobile data on HSPA, battery drops like a rock.

you shouldn't have a problem downloading a 1 or 2gig movie within 30 minutes to an hr, it'll drain your battery half way regardless of kernel though.

If you're worried, you should stop pirating or Johnny Law will be on your rear. jkjk
To answer your question, just use it without connecting to the charger. Also, calibrating the battery is not necessary either.

So draining the battery regularly doesn't hurt it?
So in conclusion connecting the charger hurts the battery?

Keeping your battery at 100% all the time (letting your phone plugged into the charger) is literally the worst thing you could possibly do to the battery besides overheating it.
If you want to get the longest lifespan out of the battery, keep it between 40 and 80% and under 40°C (which is why the N4 starts throttling itself at 38°C)

Of course it will. It's a battery. They only have so many charge cycles. You can always buy another. With a little effort the battery can be swapped out.

That's right anyway I just wanted to know the least way I can damage the battery while downloading. ..do u have a suggestion

I can't give you advice on how to make piracy less damaging to your phone. That's against the rules.

I just had my lawyer answer a ~1800 euro claim for some song that had magically found its way into my torrent downloading software. He charged me 208€.
Don't download pirated media..

He never said he was downloading copyrighted material... plenty of legal Ubuntu torrents available and last time I checked that's not piracy

I should download until the battery drops to 40% and then recharge it

I dont use wifi at all. So heavy use drains battery rather quickly. I dont like wall changers either.

Haven't used wifi on this phone due to T-Mobile's 40mbps LTE, It's literally impossible to blow through the whole battery in a day unless the screen is on for 12 hours. Generally it's around 60% battery when I go to bed after being off the charger for 14ish hours after a heavy use day.

Its worth acquiring the Korean model. F320K. It comes with 2 x 2600 mAh batteries and a docking station that allows the batter which is not in the phone to charge independently. It also has a microSD slot supoorting up to 64GB!

What networks can it run on?

http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g2-5543.php and all versions of the phone have all these bands I believe, the Korean versions have LTE A as a bonus.
