Drop from 20% to 0%

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,

I have an issue that my phone suddenly drops its charge levels. I'm speaking of 
a direct drop from eg. 60% to 40%, but mostly from 20% to direct power off 
(0%). It doesn't happen all the time, but is annoying. Does anyone know why or 
has anyone similar experoences? I have to mention that i'm using a more 
powerful 3500mah battery i bought separately instead of the default 1600mah 
battery. Surely this is the reason, but what I mean is: It's just a battery, so 
why does the os miscalculate from time to time?

Aby help will be appreciated!

Phone is: SGS2

The battery is ultimately responsible for determining its own charge level.  
The batter reports its status to the OS, which then passes the details on to my 
app, which then passes them on to you.

You can double-check that the app is correctly reporting the battery details as 
known to the system by pressing HOME->MENU->Settings->About Phone->Status.  
There is a "Battery level" field that should be the same as what Battery 
Indicator shows.  In the unlikely event that they are different, you probably 
have a Task Killer or something else interfering with the app.  If the numbers 
are the same, then you are just seeing what your battery is reporting.  It 
could be because it is a new battery, or it could be a faulty battery.
