That was a lot of work to write all that. I'm sure it will help people. Good job.

Thanks.
Thank you. I became obsessed watching those readings for a week. They have been too consistent to ignore and I had to put it down on paper. Time to move on and do a little more Diamond polishing.

Like yours, my device has never gone to 0% before. But today I installed the Resco Explorer plugin to the Second Today screen and added several program icons to it. That's when I saw 0%. It does not always appear and when it does it only lasts for a second or two. I think the new plugin just slows down screen redrawing a bit.

Yea SprintTouch08, God gave us 1340 mA to make the best of. It is up to us how we use it. I should note for those who are comparing, I have been estimating talk/data time at roughly 20% per hour without much in depth testing. It could be 25% as SprintTouch08 says. Or it could vary, depending upon signal and other factors. With the overall battery life that I have been seeing and the way that I use the phone, there has been no need for me to pin that number down.
