I have the Battery Improve.
But there is a screen that says the following

Preferences:
  Enable monthly battery calibration to maximize your life span

What does that mean ?

How do I do it ?

Spidious,

I would UNINSTALL this app and look for a different one to extend your battery life.  Battery Improve appears to be nothing more than a way to get you enrolled in a premium SMS service that costs $9.99 a month.

When you first run after you install this app, it shows a screen that you can not select to read that looked like a EULA and a pop-up in front asking you if you Agree.  Once you select the button, the EULA screen disappears without giving you a chance to read it.

After that you will probably start getting text message for Fonesocial.  You can reply STOP to the messages to make sure that you are not enrolled.  Also, I would call your service provider and make sure that you are not enrolled and that it will not show up on your bill.

I just went through this and will be calling AT&T in the next day or so to talk to them because I do not want any surprises on my bill.

Anyone have a good suggestion for Spidious on an app to extend your battery life?

No text messages from Fonesocial yet.
But really did like the screen set up !
un-installed it..
Really wish a better battery would come out soon.
I have heard of a 3000 battery coming out soon....

Just experienced this. DO NOT INSTALL THIS! I can think of much better ways to spend 9.99 a month... Never saw a subscription agreement, then this charge shows up. Sneaky F@#%ers!

If I turn off my 3G (Data Packet) when I'm not using it, my battery life is much better. When I'm ready to check emails, etc.  I turn it back on.  I still get texts, etc. with it off. It also makes those annoying ads go away while playing games or using apps.
