does the battery last longer when charge when it is low or charge more often to keep the power near full ?

use >*<<*<* n then go to 'service setting'
in there u can off @ on charging when connect to usb.

for lithium ion batts, it's more advisable to charge it always rather den charge it when it's almost drain out

Good luck and have fun with your SE phone.

Supposedly less than 30 minutes. If you are flashing from SEUS, it depends on your net connection as it will download the firmware and etc SEUS application files.

For those with flashing tools and etc, it would take less than 5 minutes.

Access the service menu, > * << *<*, then Service settings -> you will see Charging on. to turn it off, press select.

If USB charging is off, it shows "charging off"

No difference. K800i is using li-polymer which has no "memory effect" like old batery technology, NiMH. Remember Nokia 3310 battery?

Memory effect in short (google for more info), does not affect li-polymer batteries. So whenever you charge, it retains the battery performance. For NiMH, you need to full discharge the battery before charging it.

Of course the more you charge, the lifespan decreases each time.

Here's two things you need to take note
1) It is recommended when you do charge the phone, it charges fully before you unplug.
2) first time charging it, leave it charging overnight. This is to make sure full charging completes.

we able to stop phone charging when connecting using usb cable?

ok, is lit-ion & lit-polymer different?

read my post earlier on how to stop it from charging when connecting using USB cable.

li-ion and li-polymer is different, but doesn't have the memory effect like NiMH batteries. So charge away.

today i just..use hp until the batery flat..then off then charge 2.5 hours..its ok or not?

try not to use it until it's flat.
always charge it

using usb charging is more longer than using charger???

yep and wont fully charged

err..sure? coz heard that not so good everytime always charging when still got batery..

that applies to oldern type of battery
