~~~How To Get Maximum Mobile Battery Life and Backup~~

The battery is the most important part of a phone and everyone has a question that how to get maximum backup from battery. Its become a big headache if your battery not giving you proper backup. Phone batteries do need to be initialized properly to ensure a full life and best backup. New batteries should always be fully charged before their first use to obtain maximum capacity.

Mostly old batteries are based on Nickel, like nickel cadmium batteries, and they should be charged for a minimum of 16 hours initially and should be run through 2-4 full charge/full discharge cycles. 

The mostly new batteries are lithium ion batteries and they required to be charged for about 5-6 hours, even if the phone says that the battery is full, it should be ignored as it may not be accurate unless the battery has been initialized. Lithium ion batteries should never fully discharge as their life is shortened every they are fully discharged. Instead they should be charged when the battery meter shows that there is only one bar left. 
Almost all cell phones these days come with Lithium-ion batteries, while older ones used to come with nickel-based batteries. To know this you can read the label on the back of the battery or the technical specifications that are present in the manual to find out which kind of battery is present in the phone.
A well known problem with batteries is
"memory effect" which only found on Lithium-ion batteries. NiCd or NiMH do not generally suffer from the memory effect. If you end up charging the battery partially too many times, eventually the battery tends to "forget" that it has the ability to charge itself fully. A nickel-based battery which succumbs to the memory effect can be reconditioned, by completely discharging, and then completely recharging the battery. A good way to ensure optimum life for nickel-battery cell-phones is to discharge them completely after a period of two to three weeks. You should also use the charger that is rated for your battery, and should discontinue the use of a charger that regularly heating the battery.

HTC Desire HD aka Ace gets release date, specs

Your eyes are not deceiving you – this is EVO 4G pictured on the left. This is what we think HTC Desire HD will be – a European version of the famous EVO. We also think it will come sans 4G network support but this doesn’t bother us too much somehow. What does though is pricing and data plan offerings and, of course, whether or not HTC Desire HD aka Ace does actually turn out to be EVO’s European cousin when it comes out in October because this is what it looks like spec-wise. Take a look by yourself and say your word.

Google Nexus One now available, yet again, for Android devs only


If you couldn't manage to get yourself a Google Nexus One and still want to give it a try, today might be your lucky day. You only need to be a registered Android developer and to have some 529 US dollars in the piggy bank.
As you might have heard, a little while ago Google stopped selling its first own Android-running device online so from that moment on your only option for becoming an owner of the HTC-made Google Nexus One were Google's partners (operators and retailers).


But if there aren't any of those in your neighborhood, you can now go for another option: as of yesterday the Google Nexus One can be purchased from the Android Developers website since the Nexus One has just become the new Android Developer Phones (replacing the elderly ADP 2).
In order to take advantage of that new option, though, you have to be a registered Android developer. If you happen to be one, just log into your Android Developer account and follow the "Development Phones" link. By the way, the Android Developers' Nexus Ones come with the Android 2.1 on board but the ver. 2.2 update is just a few taps away.
The phones sold over there are factory unlocked (and probably rooted) and are priced at 529 US dollars (around 400 euro, so, no news here). 

LG Cookie KP500 Sold 10million Units

LG has officially stated that more than 10mln units of the affordable LG Cookie KP500 have been sold to date, so the manufacturer can now happily tick off one of the goals for 2009 they announced at the beginning of April. 
This actually means the Cookie is LG´s fastest selling device at the moment and the fifth handset of the company to hit the 10mln mark, after the successful LG Chocolate, LG Shine, LG KP100 and LG KG270. LG explains the good results with the fact that the Cookie comes with unique features, pertaining to the particular region it´s sold in. For an instance, hockey is quite popular in the Czech Republic and there is a special version of the Cookie for that market with the logo of Prague´s Sparta club on it.
Quite naturally, based on the market success of the LG Cookie KP500, the manufacturer revealed its plans to release the successor to the popular device in 2010. We still don´t have any specific information on the LG Cookie II at this time (we´re just guessing at the name), but we do hope to find out more about it soon an of course, see it at MWC 2010 in Barcelona.
