Go to Market and download Circle Battery Widget. It will give you tons of customization and, best of all, battery levels in 1 PERCENT increments!!!! Only one that does, to my knowledge.

I don't know for sure but I am willing to bet that 80% means 80-71%.

My reasoning is this: The battery fully charged at 100% doesnt imediately jump to 90% after a minute of use.

Hmmm...that is logical...also means my battery is draining faster than I thought.

So...did the B6X or whatever the # is really fit inside the standard battery cover???

Well, that guy still hasn't reported back with any new info. But the BH6X doesn't work with the standard door for me or many other people that have tried it. I have to admit that apparently it does work with some peoples phones but that must be only a small percentage.

Thanks...that thread took a lot of detours and I didn't have the GPS turned on...

Battery Monitor will also calculate battery percentages in 1% increments based on battery voltage.

The phone "shows" a 10% drop after it drops past the halfway point. ie: 94% = 90. 84% = 80.

That's good, from an accuracy standpoint I was hoping that 90% was actually 90% +/-5% which is a correct way of expressing the uncertainty in the measurement. Ironically with a battery measurement, 100% representing 95-105% charge is also probably pretty accurate, but that's a story for another day.

IMHO the battery meters that go down to +/-0.5% accuracy are just feel-good numbers that really have no basis in reality any more than using 1cm-wide chalk to mark something down to an accuracy of +/-1mm, but if they make people feel good they've done their job

I am one that the stock door will fit with the extended battery, however having had a Storm 2 with the Seidio extended battery and stock door, I noticed a definite (negative) impact to my touch screen. Therefore even though the stock door does seem to fit just fine, I'm going to stick with the extended door as I don't want to risk any issues with my touchscreen.
