Is it okay to keep the Droid plugged in when it's finished charging?

My old feature phone would warn me to unplug it when it was charged as to avoid "overcharging." However, with this phone, I assume that it stops charging when full since the lightning bolt goes away and the LED turns green.
I like to leave it plugged in when I'm at my desk or overnight when I'm sleeping. I figure I use less of the battery cycles that way too.
Anyone know if this is bad practice?

Did u just get ur incredible if so there is a Tag that is attached to the cord that Says:
1.Standard Battery 4.0 Hours
2.Extended Battery 5.0 Hours
When charging my Incredible i usally pute it on an let it charge till the green light comes on or i may for 1 hour over that but never overnight: an usally if says it can stay on longer on the charger it will indicated that u can in the Instructions without harming the Battery or the Device but it say on this tag to remove when charging is complete: I wood contact HTC before going that long on a charge as it may Harm the Incredible an U dont want that to happen to Ur new phone!. a least i Wouldnt .

Does it adversely effect the battery to keep the IPad plugged in when fully charged?

Does it adversely effect the battery to keep the IPad plugged in when fully charged?

Copied from Texas Mac Man ...
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

It does no harm. It won't over charge.

Will my iPad still get charged when I use my iPad with the plug in when it is fully charged?

I'm wondering if my iPad will still get charged when I use it with the plug in when it is fully charged, because some computer battery's lifespan get decreased when you use them with the plug in when it is fully charged, but is it the same thing with the iPad or does it stop charging when it is fully charged?
Thank-you! :D

No it is not better to use it all the time when it is plugged in. Use the battery. That's what it is for anyway. See Michael Black's post above. That will wear the battery down and the performance of the battery over time.
Use it on the battery and when it needs to be charged - recharge it. If you leave it plugged in after a full charge - it will not hurt. The battery will stop charging even if it is left plugged in.
It is OK to use the device while it is plugged in - even for a matter of hours - but not constantly or as a rule of them.

You can leave the charger plugged in, as you cannot overcharge...charging automatically stops when your battery is full. Once every 2 ~ 3 months, its a good idea to drain the battery to about ~ 40%, then recharge to full. Otherwise, you can charge whenever you like & leave connected whenever you like.
Try to avoid full battery discharges, Lithium batteries don't like that & frequent full discharge/recharge cycles will eventually kill your battery.

How do I keep the website's icon when creating a desktop shortcut as opposed to the firefox logo?

When I click a website's icon in the address bar in Firefox and drag it to my desktop to create a shortcut to said site, the shortcut is created with Firefox's icon. I want to know how to keep the site specific icon when creating these shortcuts. I know that once the shortcut is created you can go into properties and choose from several generic icons but I don't want those cheesy icons. Can anyone help?

If you drag a link or favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create an internet shortcut then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.<br />
If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).<br />
You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".<br />

How do I keep the find bar open when scrolling through multiple tabs?

The newest update of Firefox doesn't allow me to keep the find bar open when shifting through multiple tabs. I've tried Findbar tweak however that erases the search criteria as soon as I try to scroll down the page to the next location. Anyone know how to keep the find bar open when i shift from one tab to the next?

There is a more up-to-date "beta" version of FindBar Tweak you could try, if you haven't tested it already. You can find it on the extension's "Versions" page here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/findbar-tweak/versions/
I did see one other extension with a similar purpose (I haven't tried it myself):

Should I keep the headphones plugged in at all times

I have a classic 160GB iPod, which is really cool. I have since I brought it kept the headphones connected to avoid damage to the amplifier chip ..... do I need to be concerned. I have a Bose Sound dock and still keep the headphones connected when I dock ... again do I need to ?
Finally I have just brought a Digital radio adapter which uses the docking connector but it has a headphone output which also acts as an aerial for the digital radio. So the question is do I need to use both headphone sockets or should I take care to avoid damaging the output amplifiers by not having headphone output impedance .....
Any help appreciated from Apple engineering support to re-assure me

Huh!?? What are you talking about?

No, you can safely unplug them. Besides, in my opinion, leaving headphones plugged in all the time risks physical damage to the headphone jack in the iPod from bumps and what not. Also I have heard several cases of people accidentally breaking off the headphone plug inside the headphone jack.

Am I supposed to leave the display plugged in when not in use?

should the display be left plugged in when not in use? is it just like leaving the power cord to the MacBoold Pro plugged in when the computer is off?
thanks

Sure, you can leave the display plugged into the socket, provided you turn OFF the display itself. There must be somewhere some switch or touch button that will turn the display OFF.
Usually, those displays use a lot of power, so it's better to save
I shall add an unrequested piece of advice: if you don't this already, please use some kind of electrical surge protector
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_protector> to connect your computer, display, printer, router, etc to the wall socket.

How do I keep the email address showing when i enter hotmail because every time a different user enters you have to completely log in again

before everyone's address was always on screen so you could easily log in, now there is only ever one address and I don't know what to do to keep the configuration as it was before

The website maybe using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from filling the name automatically.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to test that.

How can I keep the file/ album names when copying music from the Finder to iTunes?

Hi,
Is there a possibility to keep the file names one uses in the Finder when adding music to iTunes?
[e.g. that a Beethoven symphony still ends up under 'Beethoven/ symphony No./' and not under the name of the orchestra/ dirigent]
Thanks in advance
Kath

Yes. Go into Preferences and make sure that "Keep..." and '"Copy..." are both not checked. Then put the file(s) where you want them (preferably somewhere in your iTunes Media folder) and use the command File > Add File (or Folder) to Library.
Try this first with a file or two so you can see that it keeps the same file name as it adds to your library.

Is it OK to leave the power plugged in when the computer is fully charged?

I often have my MacBook Pro on my desk and it's a pain charging it up then running it down all the time. Would it be OK to just leave the power plugged in all the time? Is it bad for the battery or not?
Cheers.
