Basically the battery meter shows 0% on status and is all white showing empty. Soft reset and removing battery doesnt solve it.

When I charge it the meter works as usual but when i take it off the charger its then stuck. So yesterday i charged it, took it off it was on 78%, which it stayed on till it bleeped battery low and then turned off.

This is the second time its happened now and i cant seem to get it back as i did before (mainly of its own accord to be honest).

Im just gonna exchange it but wondered if anyone had the same prob?

Yep. Same problem for me. The meter is a joke. Yesterday i upgraded firmware though. I hope it will fix the problem.

Just gonna exchange it... Noticed this too... When i take it of charge the keylock option disappears?! Meter is stuck at 100%... Turn phone off and on sorts out the keylock problem, and makes the battery meter show 0%?! Mad! Its either stuck on full or empty! Exchange time!

I have the same problem. The meter shows 0% whenever I turn it off and on. But it works when I charge it for a few minutes. Should I have it exchanged for a new one or will the new software fix this problem.

Anyone?

Went to TRS in Scotland and they replaced my battery and now the battery meter is now working. They did a great job on upgrading my firmware and replaced my battery for no charge....they rock.
