[Galaxy 3 Android Development] TheCreat:
I haven't read any reports recently about the display of battery stats, which is surprising to me as they are clearly off for me with 1.7.

Directly after charging it takes quite a long time for the battery to show anything other than 100%. Depending on usage I'd say it's about 6-12 hours until it starts to drop at all. It then seems more or less linear to about 50%, usually reached after about 48 hours. Then it starts to drop more and more rapidly, only lasting a couple of hours until it shuts itself off. All this means that basically only the upper half of the range is used for display. I can barely leave the house with 50%, as even just turning on WiFi for a couple of minutes will drop it to 30% or so (yes, you can actually see the percent count down then). Quite frankly the Stock kernel gives a better linear progression (meaning at 50% I'll have used roughly half the time I can ultil I need to recharge, ok maybe 2/3 but you get the idea).

This all wouldn't be that big of a deal if it would actually tell me to charge it at some point, and let me act on it. This message does appear, but it exactly coincides with the forced shut down due to low battery (I guess at 20% or so). I don't know exactly at which value that happens as I can't even tap 'OK' on the message as it immediately shuts down, displaying the 'Shutting down...' in the middle of the screen and blurring the background in the process, so I can't read the battery level anymore (sorry ^^).

The shutdown often occurs after the battery is in the 30s and the phone was on standby (deep sleep) and I start using it in some way (more often than not reading XDA ;).

My suggestion would basically be to 'rescale' it a bit, let the first drop after charging occur a bit earlier if that is possible. I'm aware though that the battery voltage right after a charge can take quite a while to drop, so there might not be too much that can be done about that. Though I suspect there is a little room as it didn't take that long for older versions to show a drop in Battery-%.

Secondly increase the lower points, move what is now 0% to where 30% is now, have the phone warn at 10 to 15% to plug in the charger (if that's even changeable easily and not more or less hardcoded).

By the way I'm not sure about this, but if I turn on WiFi just for a relatively short period (like to download a larger app or so) it seems to cause a unusually big drop in Battery-% (5-10%), even if it's in the middle of the 'good range', lets say between 90 and 60%. To test WiFi power usage I turned it on while charging and left it on for the entire cycle, overall battery life decreased from about 3 days to just over 2, so that's perfectly normal I guess. That quick drop after turning it on for a short time could also be a normal reaction of the battery to going from barely any current drawn to a realtive high amount (deep sleep to display and wifi on with significant activity). Just thought I mention it, since I've seen reports of wifi using unusually much power in this thread.

Otherwise keep up the great work, this has quickly become the undisputed king of G3-Kernels and is the only one with such an incredible feature progression speed. Thank you for your time & effort!
