Thanks for the reply Brontide. I'm pretty much absolutely sure that it stopped updating, because as I started to notice it, I would do some more testing. When the battery indicator is working properly If I play a video and then check how many hours of full usage I have left, it will drop dramatically from before I was running the video, this is normal and to be expected as it's calculating the number of hours at your current level of usage. When I notice that the number of hours of full usage has not changed for several hours, that's when I run a video test and yet there is no change in how many hours left, though after rebooting the video test will cause the full use time to dramatically drop while it's running as opposed to when it's stopped.

It took me a while to notice this, and I think the only reason I did is because I was using it continuously for so much and really paying attention to battery life.

I'm wondering if many of the people with battery problems on the n800(which I have) and diablo are actually thinking they have more time on their systems left because the indicator has stopped updating. If you only use your device a little bit throughout the day, you really need this to be always working, as it's pretty hard to gauge how much you've really used it. If the indicator has stopped updating at some point, then you will be very prone to thinking your battery drained very quickly while it is in standby.

While I realize rebooting takes some battery power, I've never had a change from showing all four battery levels to just one battery level on the battery image at any time I've rebooted in OS2007 or chinook, and this is what I'm seeing in some of these instances.
