10% Battery Warning Gone

So why did Apple remove the 10% battery warning on iPhone 3.0? Now you only get the 20% warning. Having the 10% warning allows you to work as much as possible to the very last minute before having to charge. Now you have to plug in at 20% since you get zero warning before the battery dies out.

Yeah...i noticed this too...and i was wondering why. Probably it's just a 3.0 bug...

It works fine for 3GS models. The error is with the 3G and original iPhones. The 10% warning is gone.

I thought this thread was worth bumping again.
I too am experiencing this problem.. Apple tech support suggests that I restore or reset all settings.
I'm sure it's a bug with the OS and not a problem on our end..

I have noticed that they have removed the "ding" that accompanies the warning. The absence of the ding annoys me more than the missing 10% warning.

I have a 3G and since I've updated to 3.0 the 10% battery warning is gone, and also the "ding" sound to let me know the battery is low. So annoying...

Hello everyone. I was hoping that 3.1 would restore the 10% battery warning on my phone. No such luck. Did 3.0 eliminate the 10% battery warning on everyone elses phone? I thought this thread would have generated more discussion so maybe it is a setting that I missed.

I facing the same issue!

The weird thing is that it seems as if the phone shut down when I should see the 10% warning. I simply have to booth it up and I can still use it for several minutes...
