Battery meter goes down in 10% intervals?

[fowen]

Am I the only one who gets this? I never get a "67%" or any other non "ten" number when I check my battery level.

Is there a reason for this?

because HTC developers decided it to be that way

i believe if you install any 3rd party battery monitoring app it will give you exact numbers.

The battery monitor on the Resco Today plugin still reads in 10% intervals. When it gets down to 10% it will then go to 5% then dead... lol. I haven't found a battery monitor that reads the battery level any differently.

Is there a reason for this?The battery level signal is measuring battery voltage. First, the hardware probably only gives you 3-4 bits of A/D resolution. Second, it is unlikely that more resolution would be helpful and probably would be misleading since remaining battery capacity is not a linear function of voltage. If they gave you more bits, you probably would be complaining that when it reads 25% actually only 15% of the battery is left, etc, etc.
