I should have mentioned, my phone is already out of battery. The phone is at the stage where the phone appears with the screen that asks me to plug it back in to a charge. Does anybody know how to speed up the process in which this wont happen? I am assuming the phone can get to the point where it is unable to display this? And another qquestion thats kind of a shot in the dark, but surely this wont effect the phone past point of return?

Mybe i should have been clearer. I want to reach the point in which the phone will no longer display anything on the screen. My phone currently requests it to plug it in when i hold down the sleep button. My main curiosity was how long it would take for this to happen? (assuming that it can happen and wont damage the phone, i have never got to absolute no battery life with an iPhone 4 before). Hope this made it a bit clearer.
