No warning at all. Anyone else?

[my3chis]

I got my Thunderbolt yesterday and on my first full day my battery has lasted just as long as my Incredible used to. I got about 7 hours of talk, text and web browsing off and on all day. I can live with this. My problem is that my battery indicator went from Green to Red without stopping on Yellow to warn me that I am gettin low. Anyone else have that problem? I LOVE my new phone!

Hmm. No. My battery indicator goes from green to yellow. Weird.

Hi did you check the settings of the battery to see if it is set to give a warning ? settings then power to see if power save is on. I don't know if that will make a difference but Hope this helps

Download the battery gauge widget... shows exact percentage (e.g. 34%)

Thanks. It was set @ 15% and that was where ny Dinc would go to Red. Moved it to 30% to see if that changes it.

I'm happier every day with my battery life too. I bought the extended battery but also still use the standard. It is improving I think. I too have "returned to normal life after ThunderBolt purchase" and it seems like mine is lasting fine throughout the day. I'm beginning to think a lot has to do with not constantly streaming data with it

One thing you should check about that Green/Red without passing yellow thing...

Have you "calibrated" your battery? You'll find instructions in this ThunderBolt thread. The reason I say that is because it really is a "calibration" that takes place. Allowing the phone to better know how much battery power is remaining.

It always goes to yellow. I have noticed, though, that the yellow isn't bright enough compared to Green so its hard to tell.

YEA! This worked. Now I have a warning before I have to plug it in.

I turned off Power Saver, but I still get notified at 15%, 10%, and 5% that my battery is getting low. Is there anyway to turn these off? I would want a notification at just 10%.
