No, we installed Nuepower. My Touch Pro in stock form did not give any percentages either.

I got 60% because I had 6 bars.

I uninstalled NuepowerCPL to see if it makes a difference. I left the Nuepower driver that allow 1% increments to be diplayed.

Yes, I realize that, but it sounds like the Touch Pro's temperature sensor is too conservative, or not functioning properly.

Speaking of temps, NuepowerCPL always reports the battery temp as 30 C. I guess it doesn't read the temps properly in the Touch Pro battery?

I think I might have a defective battery. Now it's at 40% and it won't charge. I'm yanking it and putting the other battery in and see if there is a difference.

Go into your Settings, rather than tapping on the Battery icon in the Task bar. There should be another one called "Power and Backlight". For some reason, NuepowerCPL doesn't replace the existing Power preferences so that when you tap on the Battery Icon it goes to NeupowerCPL instead.

I'm on day five, and am gettting better life each day. I just about got a full day yesterday, with above average usage from 8am to 8pm. It started complaining on my way home while I was watching YouTube. But I made it. Hopefully cooked ROMS will extend another couple of hours.
