I bought the new mineral gray color of T68i.
I am wondering why my battery indicator on the screen only shows FULL, HALF, and EMPTY. While my friend who has an older model, shows INCREMENTS in battery life (meaning it can show it in FULL, 3/4 FULL, HALF, 1/4 FULL and EMPTY).
Is this the way the new version of software works? Is there a way to make mine that way?????

I have the same software version R2E006.
My battery indicator works OK but it only shows 100%, 50% and 0%. It doesn't show anything in between like 75% or 60% or 20% etc. My friend who has an older T68i shoes these in between percentages.
Why is this?

That is funny....mine is with the old software R2B_025,and mine showed all 10 distinct levels of battery life remnants.(well...i personally have counted every single one of them)
It goes the same for my T68m with i software R2E

I agree with aurus, take it back to where ever you bought it and let them have a look at it.

Does the text "Optimized charging" appear when you plug-in your charger? If not, your phone has somehow failed to identify your battery as a Sony Ericsson original. This indification occurs everytime you power-on the phone.
Try to turn off the phone and turn it on again.
If this doesn't help, there could be something wrong with your battery. |

Does anyone ever find that the standby/talk time is sometimes completely off the mark? I go off the battery icon as it appears to be somewhat more accurate...
But 100% to 50% to 0% that ain't good... |

Definitely the battery standby time does not work. Its a useless feature. It shows 220 hrs standby time when fully charged, which is almost 9 days. Then half a day later, it shows 180 hrs. Then batt lasts for 3 days only! My batt indicator is more accurate- it shows the step by step decrease

Mayb is that the battery indicator calculates the standby time and talk time in terms of temperature, so if you on your lights or use it too oftenly in a row, it will drop very fast, later when it cools down it then goes back up a little. thats my own opinion 
mine also last for 3 days only, and i think the phone can only last for the time indicated by the indicator is based on non usage basis, meaning that you just leave it there and do nothing to it, not even incoming calls. anyway the battery consumption rate also depends on where you live, in cold areas or in winter, battery tends to loss quickly and charge slowly moreover it depends on the operator's coverage, more energy is neede to establish a connection, yet it accounts to bluetooth, further the range higher the concumption rate so i think the only way to save more battery is dun use it too often otehrwise get yourself a backup battery which actually cost me US$80.....i sould buy a nokia 3 series already hehe

well for other batteries nope, but for SE yes, not sure why but SE's battery need to be seasoned it is like climbing a cliff. Going higher n higher then boom fall down again. but so far my 1 month old phone is only capable of sustaining to 3 days before next charge hope to get till 5 days
