As we know from before, the battery meter isn't accurate at all, so /please/ don't stare at it or make any conclusions from it...
Wow, so this explains what happened to my phone last night.
It was the first day I got it, so I charged it via the computer USB and left it there over night (the battery was full). After I woke up, so about 9 hours after the battery was fully charged, the battery was around 30%. I looked at the charge history, and the CPU was mostly idle, while the battery discharged at a very linear level. I thought I had a bad battery or something.
