Meaning the actual battery life is only 1-2 bars, but it's displayed as 3-4bars? No?
I wonder how is the battery life measured. Is it by percentage or the amount of mAh left? If it's percentage, then it might not be the indicator's fault, since it might be the overall battery capacity that's declining?
Not really true. The battery still has 3-4 bars when polled. However, the battery has degraded that it can't provide continuous high discharge to power the task, hence immediate drop in remaining estimation to 1-2 bars. In worse case scenario, immediate shutdown.
If I remember correctly, it is calculated based on voltage remaining. e.g. a 3.7V Li-Ion battery is fully charged at 3.70V. It is fully discharged (0%) when it reaches 3.40V (just example only). How to determine 50% ? Maybe around 3.58V, as the line graph is not straight line, but rather a curve line. The battery discharge very slow from 3.70V -> 3.58V. But once reach 3.60 Volt or lower, it discharges very fast.
Ampere = Watt / Volt
i.e. If an app need X milli-Watt (constant like 3G data), and voltage goes down, it will draw more Amps (milliAmp) from the battery, hence the reason why you feel full bar last longer, but when it drops, it drops very fast.
A way to overcome this is more sensitive components to detect the voltage and also the calculations in a curve line rather than straight line basis.
Just my 2 cents, I may recall wrongly the concept of it.

Lol...sry i am a noob...
Hey, do u guys think we should have a new thread?? we should close this and open N82 V7 Thread...how??? sounds cool??

Hey and i wanna ask whether wat 3rd party software can make us control the phone by tilting the device withtout having to press the D pad?? i juz saw it on youtube...here is the link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4CtDp1fv4QV7 ? why not V3128 ?

Kena ban-hammer later.
I did not view the video. But there is this Nokmote application. As usual, find my good friend, Mr. Google.
