Once the battery is charged to 100%, the charging stops automatically. It won't keep charging your battery post 100%. I have kept my phone charging overnight several times but nothing happens. So there is nothing to worry about.
I don't know if that's 100% true, the charging may stop but there is a trickle that happens continuously. I thought it was common knowledge that unplugging a charger when your battery is full extends battery life, but maybe I've been believing a lie for many years.
Yes I want this addressed too, for sure at that.
The 1st 920 I had got the battery swollen up, thanks to NOKIA Care I got it replaced. I always thought it was due to overnight charging, now it seems like I had a defective model.
If I charge over 100%, what happens? Is this safe or dangerous if it happens often?
You can't overcharge your battery. If this was a problem, they would note it in the owners manual or on your phone, or the fast start guide..
Keep in mind, no matter how careful you are with your battery usage, after about a year and a half it will have about 80% of it's original capacity. At three years it will have 50% or less of it's original capacity
I used to feel the same way. However, the only device I had where the battery failed after a little over a year was a BlackBerry 9000, which had a removable battery.Which is why I hate sealed batteries. If I have a phone I want to keep for several years, the average consumer needs to have it sent off to get it worked on once holding a charge becomes a problem. Most will just get a new phone.
Just evil. Good business model, but evil.

I also have a friend who still uses an iPhone 4S he got back in October 2011, and it has not had battery issues.
We have an original iPad in my house which I bought in April 2010. It's now basically a toy for our three year old and was a great potty training tool, with still great battery life.Speaking of that, I have an iPad 2 from September 2011 with no issues battery wise. So it really depends. And quite often I drain my iPad battery to zero.
Just wanna know how you came to know about swollen battery ??
