> Battery power indicator on Satio
Bookmark topic
Is there a simple way to see the amount of power in percent or hours that is left in the battery on the Satio? On my previous
phones, it was possible to push the volume button in standby mode in order to display a status panel, displaying my phone number, currently active ptofile, alarms pending and battery power level. The information exists there somewhere in the Satio, since it is shown in the PC Suite when connected to the computer.

I would like to know too, It's a big thing I miss
One other thing I miss is call duration time.

I don't know how to display call duration during the call, but after the call is finished, it can be displayed. It's in the call settings somewhere.

settings> calling> call> .... towards the bottom of the screen is "Show Call Duration"
and "Details after call" and I'm looking at the battery % one at the mo

The battery indicator under symbian is useless after the first 40% are gone because the battery will be depleted after 2-4 hours only
It's the case with N97,5800 and now Satio, the first 40% part can last 2-3 days so you say wooow dude I still have 60% after all!! be after only a couple of hours the red light will show up

It's like the gas meter in the car.
This is probably caused by a poor design of the measurement method for the battery charge. A correct measurement should be made the same way as the electricity power meter is measuring the 230 V AC delivered to your home, i.e. constantly measuring the current drained from the battery and integrate the value over time, and when 1000 mAh is consumed, the battery is empty. Instead of this perfect method, the power meter usually measures the battery voltage, assuming that it's proportional to the currently stored mAh:s. Unfortunately, this is not corret for modern batteries. Instead, the battery voltage is fairly constant between fully charged and fully drained, it only drops a little during that time, and then the voltage drops rapidly when the battery is almost drained.
But I still miss the possibility to see the power status in digits instead as a green or red graphic battery icon.

there is no way to tell how many hours usage you have left on a device like this as it will depend on your usage over time, seeing the battery indicator would be useful though

Of course, the calculation of the time remaining can only be an extrapolation based upon the current power consumption. It's the same reason why it's pointless to say that a mobile phone has 300 hours standby time. Try to make a phone call after having had the phone on standby for a week....

Haven't seen the homescreen of the Satio but if it's like other S60v5 stuff (I've got N97 - doh!) the meter shows how much "anticipated" usage you've got based on current usage pattern. Which is batty cos if it's been doing couple of SMS's and just sitting around for 3 hrs and then you check before you take it into the car for example, if you then turn on the GPS then you have much less power than you were originally indicated.
