I went to turn on my relatively new Exhibit 4G, and pressing the power button didn't make the screen light up. I pressed it several times, no dice. So I plugged it into the charger, and the phone powered on and gave me the splash screen, then went to the lock screen, and it said "Charging (29%)".
Do smartphones power-off when they hit below 30% battery? My laptop threatens to hibernate once the battery level reaches something around 7%.
Are cell-phone batteries less accurate about their charging percentage? Or more prone to damage or shortened lifespan if they are allowed to discharge lower than 30%?
I also noticed that it will not charge higher than 97%, I assume again for battery longevity.
