how u calculate 1st bar = 20 hours anyway? logically the 1 bar will gone in 2 hours if u use a lot gps..hope u get what i mean?
information based on bar will never be accurate its just approximate how much battery we have. its between certain percentage for each gap, ur battery within 100% to 80% will shows as full charge, 2nd bar between 79% to 50% and so on~ the last bar might only show the last 5% of ur power, thats why each bar got different hours
sound confuse, just give u example~ omnia battery bar designer might making each bar as follow 20%, 30%,20%,25%,5%
that also tell you that from the bar...u wont know how many % battery u have, they just telling u approximately, if u still really want to know...better go ur setting and see the percentage, but that one also not accurate
people who making battery icon will know this thing very well

even laptop battery meter were not accurate~
i suggest no need observe based on battery indicator~ just observe from full charging till the phone ask u to charge (usually the phone will notify automatically when there isn't any power left to make calls, and turn the phone into flightmode automatically)
just my dua cent~ hope that explain to you why its not accurate
ooo... thank.
yup, the bar i talking about is the bar in the setting, not in home page icon.
It's just because i always think that high spec device must has good battery performance also, else it's no use.
how about the flash light at power button problem?
each time when we want to check is there any miss up SMS, we must press a button to light up the LCD?
most PDA can know it from the flashing red LED light.
