Is any kind of battery training required for the new s4
And how to do so if yes
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium
Nope just use it. I like to wait till it's below 15% to charge it and always leave it charging till its full.
The main thing is not to let it discharge completely.

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

Also is it bad if I leave it plugged in if its at its highest charging point

As I was putting my S3 on charge last night for the first time I noticed that the output of the new charger is 1A as opposed to .7A on the charger for the S2.
As the S2 had theoretically two charging modes, 450 &650mA (depending if it was enabled in the kernel..eg Siyah), I was wondering if any of the tech guru's out there would know what charging rates does the S3 accept (if kernel enabled of course) ?
I'm guessing this would have to be done with an ammeter but if anyone has any theories feel free to post here.

Hopefully GM of SiyahKernel fame will have an answer and tweak for us in no time in his upcoming kernel. I'm sure it'll be in his to do list somewhere.
Edit: First charge 4-100% in 3 hours.

1st charge got 4328mV.
Expect it to be a little more after a few full uninterrupted charge cycles.
Suppose I could do the maths and calculate an approx charge rate, but will need a true min. for that. Brain's a little tied right now though

ah , 4328mv ! im getting something closer to it, will get better with some more battery cycles.

No, but I believe its locked at 1mA.
Using siyahkernel with extweaks app and there is an option to increase this.

A quick question, is it okay to use the Nexus 4 while charging? I was using it, and it charges a bit late but just want to ask if it doesn't harm the battery.

Not that I know of, any phone is okay to be used while charging

It depends on what you're doing. If you're playing game then it'll charge slowly. But if you're just texting and browsing then that shouldn't be a problem.

Of course it will slow the charge speed, but that's not dangerous.

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

So in conclusion
I should download until the battery drops to 40% and then recharge it
2- never leave the device connected all day
