battery meter calibration FAIL!

This thing just won't die! 2 am, 4:45 min of screen on time, YouTube, Netflix, texting, calling, downloaded all my apps and music, email sync... still had 29% left. 4G on all day! So yeah I decided not to wait til it hit 10% if I wanted to get some sleep lol

Well, if you want you can simply power off while it has 29% left, then power back on at a later time and continue the discharge process till you get to 10%. It's the same whether it's a one-shot discharge or discharged over more than one usage period.

That's good to know. I'll do that! Thanks.

No problem. What's most important is that you EVENTUALLY get to the 10% warning pop-up screen, which is proof that the discharged flag is set properly. Good luck! :biggrin:

On my old OG RAZR I would get the pop up at 5%. Does it mean that it wasn't calibrated right?

The OG Razr was running Gingerbread and there were two stages of low battery. The first was at 15%, the second was at 5%. The new ICS OS has changed the first warning to 10% (to extend the usage time), but I believe there's still a 5% warning as well.

I was running ICS on it. A lot of the time I wouldn't get the 10% warning just the 5% one. I'm glad I moved up to the Maxx. Right now my OG RAZR would be at 20%. I'm at 71% on the Maxx.

Yeah, that fat battery in the MAXX is pretty nice!
