Never noticed it before. Just seems like something else to complain about to me.

I'm hoping mine will be fully charged within the next hour... I'll let you know what mine does.

Not necessarily. If it's a bug in the software properly reporting whether the battery is fully charged, it's not a big deal (can be fixed with firmware update).

If it's a matter of the phone not really getting a fully charge because the battery is somehow defective, it's something we should be aware of.

My battery holds a great charge, but if the software isn't reporting properly that's kind of important to know, don't you think?

Alright even while I was recharding them I noticed a difference, one phone has the glow and the other has none... it seems to be more of a screen problem. I never noticed it before but even if you goto the weather widget for the same city, one phone has a sun with really long rays and the other has really short. Its something with the screens.

Here is the first picture which shows the brightness difference between the two phones, both with Auto-Brightness on and at the same levels. The one on the right is much brighter (also has the glowing battery).

Here is the weather widget, the one on the right has the "glowing battery", the sun also has much larger rays then the darker "non-glowing" phone.
