Hey guys,
I have discovered a way to squeeze a little bit more life out of the Epic.
I always charge the phone overnight with the standard 700 ma wall charger. Usually I turn it off before charging, but sometimes I leave it on. When I wake up, the LED is blue, but my Battery Gauge Widget indicates that I only have a 97 or 98% charge.
Next, I drive 30 minutes to work while streaming Slacker Radio over 3G. My Epic is plugged into my 950 ma Motorola car charger.
When I get to work, the LED is blue again. Except, my battery gauge is now at 100%. This indication seems legitimate -- the battery level counts down from 100 at its normal rate.
Anybody else notice this? For reference, I have a launch day Epic. I have NOT updated to the Froyo leak; I'm still using firmware version DI18.
