Precharge = first charge for however long or short I want, and I'm still good? I think I stopped the first charge when it was around mid-80s percentage.)
It might also be a good idea for when you get the phone, don't start off charging it right away. Let the battery drain to 0%.. keep turning the phone on until its unable to turn on, THEN start charging.. this way it will maximize the amount of hours on your battery.
No idea where people get this...

I think I've been made "battery life"-conscious thanks to how my laptop battery (almost 4 years old) won't hold a charge for an hour...

The good news: Phone number's been ported and service is up. The bad news: Last night/this morning I didn't realize that I was being prompted to download the OTA JI6 update, which I am absolutely not liking (mainly for the quicker battery draining but also several of the UI/options changes), but can't find a way to undo without bricking or hardware locking the phone.

Looking on Google doesn't seem to show anything other than possibly using ODIN (except that I want to roll back the firmware, not "make it stock again"), and I don't recall whether I had JI4 or JI5...
