Battery Bar

yesterday i fully charge my battery and i use it for a bit of games and calling my friend. Until tonight my battery meter still shown 5 bars but after i installed a program and i restarted the phone and my battery Bar now has 2 Bars left

also i experienced this twice already

why is this ???
is there a bug in the battery meter

lol had the same thing happen this morning
id say the battery bar is much like the "ink level indicators" software has for printers, they are only estimations.

I mean I went from having one bar off the top lastnight and when turned my phone on this morning I only had 3 left.

but then on the other accord, when its done this, because its happened before I find my last bar last for ages and ages.

Something is wrong with the "refresh". You have to restart your phone to have it check for the battery to see the real level of the battery.

well that would make sense, I notice I constantly seem to go trhough my middle bars almost instantly

ah well the batterly life is still there, just means the lastbar goes on for a long long time, well thats what ive found.
