Well, this happened after I modded my phone's acoustic/camera driver (K810)

The battery percentage would (eventually) fall to 49%, then, to 47%, and then it would straight away drop to 32%! It would never reach 47%-33%! Very strange problem.. Been happening for the past week.

Oh, and the phone is 1 month old now

I guess I'll try that.. any instructions on doing it manually?

This is is strange though, as I said, the phone is just 1 month old.

I don't think that soft reflash is the answer to EVERY problem with the phones. Maybe you were using the phone and that's why the drop was so acute, or the signal wasn't that good. It's not really a problem that affects phone's performance so why not leaving it alone?

the battery percentage is only a rough percentage calculated via a specific algorithm. It's not a highly accurate measurement of actually battery capacity. I wouldn't be too worried about it. It's not that the battery itself is dropping so quickly, it's just a failure of the algorithm to accurately calculate the available capacity.

Hmm, i guess so

Thanks for the input, 701, max_wedge

Much appreciated!

EDIT: It is strange the calculation went awry after putting in the sound drivers, though

I'll run a test tomorrow, or something. I'll let you guys know what happens! (Phone just died on me at 1% )
