Improve mobile phone battery life

Options
To improve your life of your mobile phone battery (this will only really work from a new battery).

Always wait until the phone says to charge the battery, charge it (with the phone turned off). When fully charged, turn the phone on, let it connect to the network and then turn off - put it back on charge. The second charge will only take about 10 mins, by doing this you will increase the capacity of the battery. My battery used to last 3 days max, but now will last a full week - to be honest I am not a heavy user of my phone, but even so I have doubled the capacity of my battery. This advice was given to me a by a battery engineer and will no doubt save me replacing my battery - his phone battery lasted 5 years before he bought a new phone.
