Help Issues reading the battery

So my MAXX seems to have issues reading the battery percent left on the phone. It's only showing the percent in tenths, such as 10%, 20%, 30%, and so on all the way to 100%. This is what I get when I go into settings > Battery information. However, I have this application that seems to read the battery accurately, it's showing all the numbers. It reads 22% right now and I have seen it at all other random numbers throughout the day.

So anyone else having this issue?

I don't own the MAXX,but,this is status quo for MOTOROLA ANDROID phones.

The options available to get around this,AFAIK,are:

1) Install an aftermarket battery app,as you've done.

2) Root,&/or unlock the phone to install a custom ROM,which typically has accurate battery indicating,showing 1% increments.
 
So wait, it's like this on all motorola phones?!

What kind of software design is that!! I do have a widget on one of my homescreens but it relies on the stock rom for the percentage. Which is annoying.

When this thing gets ICS they better make it work normally -_-
 
Battery Left is also an excellent free battery widget on the Market. It's the best that I have found so far - extremely customizable!
 
Thanks for the recommendations, first I'm trying my luck emailing the developer to see if he will add some coding. I offered a monetary donation in bribery :p
 
I use battery notifier on my phone. It shows battery percentage in 1% increments in big numbers. It has quite a few options. It's free but there is a pro version with more options for .99 cents.
