My guess is that when the communications chip becomes active, the current it uses causes the battery to think it is lower than it should be.
This makes sense since phones have rated talk time and standby time. No idea how to fix it, just figured I would make note.

You noticed that too eh? viruscrazy explained that camro's battery code doesn't take into account peripherals whatsoever - so basically any radio, modem, etc that draws from the battery is not taken into account.
I've been chatting with WisTilt2 about this frequently as well, and there's a lot of agreement that the battery code is going to need to be either completely rewritten or severely overhauled. Not to discount camro and his work, but he never really finished his work as his phone blew up basically and never returned to the scene. We were going to get him a phone, but he didn't seem interested. So it's not an easy fix, but we do know what needs to be done at least - and sometimes that's half the battle
.
WisTilt2 has a lot of things on his plate with this project at this point, but he did say he wanted to talk to jonpry soon about rewriting this code. I look forward to seeing what he can do to improve this - there's a lot of bugs with the battery code, they're just not easily seen as batteries are mysterious beasts.
