Dan - I have suffered this exact issue on my Pismo. Haven't figured out how to fix it either - my next stop? Start from scratch. Also - I believe my battery doesn't last as long under Tiger.. but that is just a sense.
Please let me know if you remedy this - I'd be very interested to learn what you find out. thanks and good luck! --Van On 1/15/06, Daniel Colwell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > For some reason I can no longer get info on how long my battery has > left in hours and minutes. > > I can get the info in percentage, but if I ask for it to be shown as > time left, it says "calculating..." or is just a blank, depending on > which program I use to measure it.
