[Q] How do i read the battery ?

[mchimney]

So I know that the battery goes by 10% increments so at 60% I have anywhere between 60 and 69.

What happens when it reads 15%? Then 10%? Does it switch to 5% increments

I am using circle battery widget, which doesnt go by 10 increments. Currently it is showing 8%.
Going to the battery manager shows 10%

hmm really? The Battery meter thread just closed because they said it was hardware the limited it to 10% increments, maybe I just misunderstood. I do that often.

yea, I saw that too. The thread was locked so I couldnt reply. I think jug6ernaut even said that the widgets also read by 10%. Maybe someone should try the circle battery widget, see if its the same results im getting.
Maybe I misunderstood that thread also

Currently the widget is displaying 4%, battery manager says 5%

I think what you are seeing is similar to other Moto phones. I have a Moto Defy and this is a thread that's going on over in the Defy forums about the battery %.

If hardware is limited to 10%, how come circle battery widget can read it in 1% increments. It seems that 100% actually means 95-100, and 90% actually means 85-95
