Find a spot distant from your city that is also distant from two towers. The resulting "distant tower reception battle" will cause your phone to keep renegotiating the cellular connection over and over and you'll not have much battery life left.

This sounds incredibly inconvenient.

Trying to "calibrate" the sensors which you apparently need to let your battery die then charge it again to get. So what's the fastest way besides the usual turn on every radio max brightness push notification stuff?

I did this just so I could see how fast I could kill my plus:

-Download Tubex and play a full HD video in the background (it will continue playing)
-Turn Flashlight on
-Call the IRS and let them put you on hold. An hour later after they answer, hang up and get right back in the queue.
-Play a graphics intensive game.

You can do all that simultaneously and it will kill your battery fast. The plus has insane battery life so it still took a long time though.

Edit: also might want to set it on an ice pack while you're doing this. Mine got pretty hot to the touch after about 30 minutes.
