How long should I charge my new phone before I use it?

How to proper use and charge android phone?

• How to charge my samsung galaxy ace. 1. Is is ok to charge every time when the level is less than 50%? 2. Charging is better by turning off or on? 3. Lets say i play music or WIFI, and the battery is low. Can I connect with the charger and continue to play the music and make calls without disconnecting the charger? 4. Does the lifespan of the battery will be reduced if I charged overnight frequently? 5. The usual standard time for charging? 3-4 hours perhaps? 6. Is it ok if I charge it halfway and use it before charging again? 7. Some say we should use up the battery before charging and let it full before use and some say do not let the battery totally used up and charge it around 10 - 20%. Which one? 6. Does apps like android booster or juice defender really helps? 7. I could not use my headset since buying the phone a few weeks ago. Is it the phone's fault or probably the headset was changed by the seller into 3rd party ones so that they can sell the original ones separately with higher prices? my headset have a sticker "made in vietnam". Is this the original one or had been changed? If he really does it, How could that be as the seller is an authorized dealer of samsung? What can i do about it? Hopefully anyone can answer in details and give what are the effects if i do this, or that just like the questions above.

• Answer:

  First, this answer will probably be getting more answers if it was in the cell phone rather than landline. Android is a smart phone OS just like RIM, iOS, or Windows Phone/Windows Mobile. As for the answers, here they are. 1. Yes, it is OK to charge. I will recommend that you condition the battery by letting it go dead once per month though. 2. Charging is quicker when off. It does not mean it is better or worse. 3. Simple answer - yes unless the battery is extremely low and using more power to communicate then it is charging. 4. Most smart phones with regular usage typically lasts only a day. Charging when you are sleeping makes sense. Just remember to condition the battery for best results. 5, Depends on the battery capacity, how much charge is in the battery, and other conditions. If the battery is completely dead, and remains off - you can probably charge it to a sufficient amount in a few hours. 6. Yes, but remember to condition it. 7. Condition the battery. I will explain later exactly what to do, and this will effectively answer this question. 8. Smart phones are like computers. They have a CPU that is important, memory, storage, and even a graphics co-processor. I personally don't use these apps, and while they may help a little, they also demand CPU resources. If you try to make your phone do more than it is capable of, don't expect much. 9. Every Android phone I know of uses a 3.5mm headphone jack. If the headphones you are using is a 2.5mm, then this will not fit properly. If you have standard headphones, try to plug it in the phone. If the headphones work, then it is most likely your old headset. -- Conditioning the Battery -- Lithium Ion batteries are capable of holding a charge. They may need conditioning which helps the battery know its full potential. Conditioning needs to only be done once a month. Allow the battery to go completely dead. This will of course make the phone unable to work. Keep the phone off, and charge it fully. If you have a dedicated battery charger for your phone, consider buying a second battery and charge the completely dead battery in the charger.
