Default deBatt Gym

Hello everyone

I am trying to use an app called daBattGym trial
however, i don't quite understand how it's supposed to work

Pump up your device battery with deBattGym - 50 free copies to be won! | CrackBerry.com

It gives me a warning sound when the battery has run down,
i'm sure this means i need to start charging.

Then while charging at say 90% or 95% it warns me again.
Does this mean i need to stop cherging?

There's a warnings section, but there is never a warning description.

Just some clarity on exactly how it works would be nice thanx!

Just started the trial so I cant help. Did you look in the warnings tab? Do you think this thing has done you any good?

well what i'm thinking is that when the sound goes (at about 10%) i start charging
then at about 90% or 92% the sound goes again and i take it off

what i can say is my battery seems to have gotten slightly worse..

BUT it counts down to the FULL CHARGE CYCLE
and i think when i finally do do this i will start to get improvements

I also think that it won't be 30 charges before a full one anymore, but then set by the app as required according to your battery

Well unfortunately I'm not convinced that my "battery can increase with up to 60%"
Ill keep following the directions till my trial runs out, then follow till 30cycles are done, and try a full charge.
If I see a big improvement then I will consider it.

Stupid question. I usually leave my phone charging overnight. Should I stop doing that while this is running?

To be honest that's why I started the thread...
I don't know how it is supposed to work.
I'm just doing what I think it wants me to.

And if I'm rite, you shouldn't leave it on overnight.

Set the tone in your profiles section to something you'll know then start of stop charging when it goes off.

Its a bit tedious, but I'm hoping that in the long run there will be amazing results with like charging once a week only...

I sent support for this program an email to see if they can check out this thread and give us a few answers. We'll see.

Yeah I really don't understand the workings of this app. I was lucky enough to win it in the CrackBerry contest but have no idea what to do with it.

It adds a number on your home screen to show battery life, but otherwise idk. My battery got down to 20% one day and it recommended charging...duh?

So now it shows the number of "full cycles" which is 3, and how my "next full cycle" is after 30 charge cycles. I know I can't just wait for it to tell me to charge because I can't start the day at like 60 and wait it to get back down to 20 again. I don't get it?

Agreed. Think I will do without it until I know what is going on. No time to babysit a battery.
