Battery usage screen

In the "what has been using your battery" screen in settings, the usual always show up, display, BT, voice calls, etc. The one thing that never shows up on mine is wifi. Anyone know why? I am still running 2.1 if that makes a difference. If I dial the 4636 number it does show the usage in there. Shouldn't this show in my battery usage screen as well? I have had wifi on for over two hours and it does not show it.

Anyone? ?

For the Wifi usage, it is not listed under the Battery Use list. The only usage that will be shown is the current usage that is listed under Battery Use.

There are several good Battery status Apps that will show you how much time you have for each function.. Wi-Fi, Music, 3G ETC. I'm using one called Battery Monitor HD seems to work well.

When I go to my settings to my battery manger, out does display your wifi usage.

I am not sure in 2.1. But, in 2.2, WiFi is listed if your Wifi is turned on.

I would think if I have wifi on for a couple of hours it would show up in the "what has been using my battery" screen. It give the percentage for other uses such as display, BT, cell standby, etc. Wouldn't this be considered current usage?

It can be but the usage will only appear when WiFi is turned on.
