Root Battery 0% at 4.011v?!??

Hey gang, I'm wondering if anyone knows where in depths of the OS one can control what voltage the phone shuts off at..

even when I play with or rm batterystats.bin the battery% is right out.
I've been wrestling with this one since February.
I've verified that the voltage being reported is genuine.
At 4.25v (full to the gills) 100%
4.1v 10%
4.011v 0%
SomewhereBelow3.86v Powering Off.
Back in February it was somewhere below 3.66v

When i charge it with the phone turned off, the firmware seems to report correctly (big blue battery on the screen shows mostly full, and then full.)

The battery's nominal voltage is 3.7.
The phone should auto shut-off at 3.2 or live dangerously to 3.1
but it's shutting down at now 3.8

I wonder if this is what's actually been soaking everyone's battery life and nobody's thought to check the actual voltages.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Where in the OS does the shutdown voltage get dictated? Is there another factor that controls when the phone shuts itself off?

Anyway.. I've tried flashing a few different roms, dunno what could possibly survive that.. Can't afford to replace, and kind of want to solve anyway.
