Battery Question. Does this make sense to anyone?

So I was trying to drain my battery all the way and it was getting close. At 10:37 it had maybe a little more than 20% and it showed my usage. But then like 2 hours later it had to about 10% but the usage only showed as dashes. What's up with that?

Looks like you shouldn't have any complaint about YOUR battery life!

Dood I'm not complaining I just don't understand why it doesn't show the usage in the 2nd screen shot, just two hours later.

I am just pointing out what is more important, the fact you are not another one with a battery issue.

mine has shown up as dashes many times. I don't understand it, but it's not broken, so i wouldn't worry about it.

Always on a reset it will display this way.
Also on some crashes it resets the timers.
Once the iphone is recharged it will be back to normal.

Probably a software bug.

Yes, if you manually reset the phone via holding sleepwake+home the usage timers will display as dashes. It will zero out when you charge to full.

I didn't reset it nor did it crash though. It was litterally just sitting there. I'm only concerned because I wanted to see the final usage before it died. I'm not realy upset about the battery power, I mean of course I wish it could go days before charging but that's not gonna happen. I just wanted that final usage time so I could judge my usage for the future.

BTW if anyone cares I had everthing turned on, 3G, WiFi from time to time, Location, brightness was about 50%. So it's not all bad.

Well somehow someway it obviously reset.
Thats why it's black and says will display after full charge.
