is Bump Charging a permanent fix, or is this something that I'm going to need to do everyday? I recently purchased the extended battery, but don't like to use it to much due the the over all weight increase it adds.
It varies. Personally I do it a couple of times when I first get the phone and that seems to do the trick. Other people do it once, some weekly or monthly. But no, there shouldn't be any reason to do it every single day.
