I'm getting an error in the battery manager in 2.2

I get that new battery icon in the battery manager. When I click on it, I get an error saying "process com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly."

Anyone else have this issue (I know some people said it does work) or have any ideas what I might be able to look at to fix this?

Not sure what I did, but it's working now.

Here's some of the steps I did.

I used titanium to delete data for battery manager. I think froze and defrosted battery manager. I rebooted.

I thought after the reboot it still didn't work.

When I plugged in, it said something about night mode being on (I had set it to performance) right after I got 2.2.

I then when back in and it was working. Switched to performance and still working. Rebooting now to see if it's still working.

Hopefully, someone can figure out exactly which step fixed this.

EDIT:
Broken again after reboot

But, then I plugged in and then unplugged and it works.

I bet this is a bug everyone has.

So I guess after a reboot, just plug in quickly and you won't ever have this issue?!

i had this happen earlier too, i just did a reboot and its been fine since. I didn't have to plug in or anything.

Is it still working? Mine works for about 10 minutes after a reboot then starts force closing. Very frustrating and really don't want to do a factory reset. Besides are we 100% sure that a factory reset fixes this problem?

Does everyone that has this problem confirm or deny if they have the battery left widget? Just saw over at MyDroidLife that someone is saying they fixed this problem by removing that widget. I am testing now.

<EDIT>
Close to an hour later and is still no problems with the BM. Really starting to think it might have been the battery left widget.

<EDIT>
Still happening :(

I'm loving froyo but this is pretty much the only issue I have. It was perfectly fine yesterday, but its come back this morning. I think it may have something to do with the level of battery-- I only see it when my battery is full, like 90% and up. It could be that the program force closes when theres nothing to measure or its uncertain of the percentages of what is affecting the battery.

I'm rooted on the DX. Updated to 2.2. Getting a FC error when checking battery usage. It's pretty hit or miss on mine. I've noticed that if I connect either via USB at Charge Only or AC adapter then disconnect I can open the usage status if I do so immediatlely. If I wait a short period of time and try it no longer works. But that's not the case every time. It's very sporadic.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Everything else works fine by the way. One thing I have not tried is a full charge and rundown of the battery since I've upgraded to 2.2. Not sure if that will help but I'm out of ideas over here. :thinking:
