Hey, I know the answer to this one! For some reason, Palm decided to alter the % range
of this function according to this algorithm:
percentage = truePercentage;
if (percentage >= 90%)
percentage = 100%;
Thus, the only readings you'll ever see are b/w 0-89 or 100%. I think that this
happened in 3.1.
Enjoy!
