i pretty its way too good to be true.

last time i charged my 8525 was yesterday, friday. and usually when i charge my phone overnight, by the end of the day, id get a 90% battery meter reading.

well today more than 24hrs after, i still have the battery meter reading at 90%! is this true or a glitch?

im not a heavy user of the phone though. and did not do anything outside the norm of my regular use.

anybody else having this phenomenon (?)

if u dont use the phone heavily and battery has been trained as in drained and re charged a few times then yes its possible. im at 90% also after a whole day but phone has been sitting all most all day today. its saturday so very little calls for me today.

oh ok... thats good news then.. ive read some incidents where battery meter reading was 90% and people think reading is good and accurate only to realize battery meter go down to 20% after awhile..

ill go see how it is tomorrow without me charging overnight..

i do have bluetooth on....

My battery can act strange at times too, but I am just trying to ignore it lately. I finally came to the conclusion that if I watch my battery meter all day long then how can I enjoy my phone? Buy an extra oem battery and never look back. I ordered one today.

Be aware, that changing location and so the cell location and needed consumption for the phone function maybe much less then at another location.
Recently a friend here from Germany told me, he was used to have an empty
battery within 2 days on his wizard here in germany. While he was on vac in Indonisia the same battery was alive for nearly a week. Hard to believe but obviously true... :eek:
