The Battery monitor lies

[Martin Porter]

I have had a Lumia 520 for a couple of months now and am generally very pleased with it; however one significant issue I have experienced is a few occasions where the battery has (apparently) suddenly drained. This morning it was somewhat inconvenient as it meant the alarm failed to go off and I overslept. I believe I am starting to see a pattern in that it is not an issue with the battery but rather with the meter. It showed me with just under a 50% charge when I went to bed which may not have been the case. I think I had been running the phone for the best part of two days. One answer is of course to always charge the phone after 48 hours (regardless of the meter) though this is a little inconvenient. Maybe I should be doing a soft reboot every few days. Has anyone seen a similar issue?

You would be surprised how many people and things lie to you in this world. Just go about your day and nod.

The battery meter as always been faulty since day one.
