cell phone batteries
i just recently got an LG shine..i love it!
but..i switched from a razr..to the Shine..and my mom tell's me that if you use the phone while it's charging..then it will mess the battery up and stuff..and make it to where it cant hold a charge for very long.
so i dont use my new phone while it's charging..it's brand new..never been used..brand new battery...but..ill fully charge it at night..and then by the morning..the battery is almost dead..and it will go completly dead during my fourth hour class at school..why wont it keep a charge?
i talk to my boyfriend at night..and we sometimes fall asleep on the phone..and since mine is a slider..is it cause i'm keeping it open all night?
also..let's say that at night..after i've fully charged it..i talk on it for a while..and then i plug it back in during the same night..even when the battery isnt dead..would that mess the battery up?
thanks for all your help!

no.
i do that all the time and my phone is in mint condition, even though i got it a couple months ago.
and you could always by a new battery if it DOES get messed up.

You're being way too paranoid. Batteries DO have a limited number of "charge cycles" but the wearing-out isnt often significant enough to notice- like an iPod battery. it wears out over time but it takes a long time to realize it. Talking on the phone while it's charging just makes it charge slower (which will give you a less effective charging time)
If it's already not holding a charge it might be defective, go back to the store and ask them to test it. One of my friends has that phone and it holds a charge forever.
What might really be going on is a lack of reception- in certain towns (and inside many buildings too) there simply isn't service. When your phone searches for a signal, the battery dies WAY faster, because all that searching kills the charge. So shut it off during the day (or at least when you're in a room without service) and you'll notice a big difference.
