Bug Description

Even if my battery goes down to 1% the icon still does not indicate its at a critical stage. This is an extremely important bug that should be tackled before the release. At many occasions my phone turned off because I was not aware that the battery was going low.

At times I've also seen the opposite, the charge was in good shape but the battery showed critical red.
