LG 325 Battery Life Question

Hey,

Anybody notice that the battery life goes from 2 bars to 3 bars without being recharged? For example, I make a call, look at the battery life and it shows 2 bars. I hang up the call, look at the life a few minutes later, and it's back to 3 bars. Any ideas what's going on?

I have this phone and I can't say that I've noticed this. I do notice this on my MP3 player occassionally.... so the conclusion I can draw is that perhaps the battery meter is oversensitive and picks up a greater decrease in batt. life during the call, than actually exists.

Alot of battery meters are estimations on the amount you have left based on the rate at which you are currently discharging the battery.

When you are using the phone, you are burning up the battery faster, so it thinks you have less battery time left.

When you are done with phone, battery discharge goes back to a trickle. Tons more battery time for standby mode.

P.S. Has anyone updated their LG PM-325 firmware? Does it solve the missing signal/battery problem it has with the HFL?

The next firmware update (v18) is supposed to address many Bluetooth issues, including HFL.

Cool, looking forward to that update. Any idea when it's supposed to come out? Do you know if there is a way to see if you have a missed event (missed call etc) without sliding the phone? I am constantly sliding my phone to make sure I didn't miss a call etc..

Thanks!
