    Wacky Battery Readings

    So I put the phone through about maybe 6 hours of heavy browsing and texting and it eventually whittled itself down step by step 60% - 50% 40% 30 20 10 and shut off. I plug it in for about 5 minutes after it had died and power it back up. THe battery is reading at 60% even though I just plugged it in.

    Is the battery reading faulty now or was it faulty when it died? I'm thinking maybe this is just a case of the phone being confused as to how much charge it actually has?

    And can someone tell me why the phone is incapable of percentage readings like 84% or 67%? why the even numbers Moto?

    I'm assuming the update will fix the readings and not lengthen my battery life? If only it were the other way... Ha

    not sure i know after a few updates on the droid my battery life seemed to do much better so there may be some software issues that is causing the x to drain faster than it should. we will just have to wait and see.

    Has anyone actually gotten the OTA update yet? Does it tell you when it's loaded something new?

    This is the exact question that caused me to join this forum - How can I find out the percentage of battery life remaining on Dorid X??

    There are several apps you can use, I prefer the "Battery Life" app. Has a nice widget that displays battery, temperature and mV in a 1 x 2 spot on your screen.
