That's because of how the battery displays capacity....it will show 100% capacity once the charges exceeds 95%, so if you were to unplug it as soon as it showed 100% it really wasn't fully charged and would only need to drop to 94% in order to then show 90% capacity. This is another instance where the circle battery widget comes in handy, it shows capacity in 1% increments so you can see exactly when you battery reaches full charge.

Try measuring the voltages. 4200mV is the fully charged battery, 3200mV is fully discharged.

This device by far has the best battery life I've seen on an Android Smartphone I'm am simply Astonished!

I currently have 7 different Android devices all Newish and had 10 others in 2011 this one is way underrated.

I simply could not be happier with this phone. It does everything I want quite well, and I have zero desire to use anything else. I don't even see myself switching to ICS, when (if) it comes!

I could do without the Blur interface and definitely gonna throw ICS on when and if it comes, that's if I still have the device. I mean yeah its nice but everything has a price. Lol I have two of these right now one for sale.
