Strange battery reporting
 
1 Attachment(s)
Lately I've noticed some odd battery draining. Thought something I installed (overclocker, 3D drivers?) might have something to do with it, but after seeing my Notification screen I have to wonder. Why would the battery icon in the Taskbar report one thing, but the Notification screen report something completely different? The difference is sometimes as much as 10%. What gives?

Nothing related to the battery other than Chainfire's cab. I'm pretty sure it wasn't doing this a week ago.

i hate to say it but you may wanna hard reset or flash again. something sounds wacked out. im oc as well as chainfire cab. ive never seen it do that before. been doing 1% since it was made. lol look at it as a good excuse to upgrade rom.

The 1% driver has always been inaccurate but that is weird you are getting different readings.

Yeah, I've seen it be off 2-3% before, but now it is more like 9-10% and that is what is unusual. I'm guessing that the taskbar icon reads the value from a different place than the notification screen, but that doesn't really make sense. About the same time this started happening I also noticed unusual battery drain issues, as well. May or may not be related.
