Battery Life Problems - Does Your Glow?

There's an article going around about battery life...

Widespread Battery Problems?

... the interesting thing is, I'm not sure if I've ever seen that same glow when my battery is charged and still on the charger... Look at the iPhone all the way on the right...

I do get great battery life, when I charge I DO see the plug icon in the little battery, but I'm not sure about the "glow"... I'm charging now to see if I ever get to the "glow" state...

Does YOURS glow when it's fully charged, while it's still on the charger??

I've never noticed if it glows or not just that the bar is full. My battery gets excellent life though, much better than my Q and on par with my Treo 755p although my iPhone gets much more use as I'm constantly playing with it.

I have noticed under "usage" in settings it gives you the total amount of time (usage + standby) since your last full charge, so you can add those totals up to see if you got a full charge or not the last time you charged it i suppose.

My iPhone is fully charged now. It's NOT glowing. Does that mean something is wrong?

Apparently, it's SUPPOSED to glow when it's fully charged and on the dock/AC charger.

Look at THIS article.

Whether it's a hardware bug or a software bug, no one seems to know. I'm not sure mine has ever glowed either, but I'm getting very good battery life.

My battery life doesn't seem too geat. I find it hard to get through the day withough draining it completely. Maybe I'll take mine back to Apple and ask for a new one.
