Is there an app for that.. Currently temp rooted with visionary and overclocked @ a stable 1440mHz...
I can't stand not know the percentage of battery life left...

download the battstatt its a widget. itll tell you the percentage of your battery. it can tell you in words or numbers. i use it and love it. plus i think it looks nicer than having a number instead of a battery icon at the top bar

can someone please tell me what the little green circular thing next to the time on the status bar is, and what it does? I would have posted it on the Dev. thread but some guy bit my head off for asking a question there once.

Battery?

Guess you don't use the search button. It's a battery icon replacement for more accuracy.

I thought that was the obvious answer, but as I write, it shows 100% in the circle, but 91% in real life (in settings and Battery Minder). Thanks.
its cuase the stock battery icon doesnt show the real battery %.
If you search the Vibrant forum there are mods for this, with different kind of icons
Can someone recomend a good moniter for the battery. My battery seems to die really fast the past couple days and the stock battery screen doesn't seem to be very different than when I first got it.
I'm looking for something that showss me stats, not something that tries to conserve power automatically.

There's an app in the desire forum, circle battery mod for non-root users (it shows up on the left portion of your status bar) It works well if all you want is a true number reading.
If you want statistics for what's killing your battery, the Spare Parts app has the best output I've seen.
Battstatt is very nice. There's a free version, and a paid version.
A less convenient, definitely free method: Dial *#*#4636#*#*. This will bring up the Testing screen. From there you can go under Battery information and see a bunch of information about... the battery! Including percentage, time since boot, temperature, ...
Battery Indicator free is in the market and doesnt use any battery while running. Everything else I tried used a little battery up. I use the circular battery version that smoothtaste is talking about and its awesome. It is based off of battery indicator but cant be found on the market anymore. I have the APK but not sure if I can upload it even though its freeware. If its allowed I can get your a copy of it.
Edit: Here you go
You can download juice plotter and it graphs battery drainage over time.
I went from battery indicator pro to battery notif. Smaller size and same icon in notification bar but doesn't give much in the way of stats.
Plus I can see the battery level without unlocking the phone.

I also use that, it doesn't seem to hurt my battery any. The free version is ok, but I opted for the paid version and haven't been disappointed.

Is it possible to get the battery steps in 1% steps instead of 10%?
Would be nice.
Search is your friend. But since I hate people who just say that, I will add:
Circle battery widget does.
I also think someone is working on a mod to change the default display, not sure if they have finished/were successful.
I think DG said it was a hardware issue not software so booooo.

also a happy circle battery widget user, couldn't stand it in just 10%
I am working on an app that uses same method as circle battery widget. It will place the battery % in the notification bar similar to battery minder esk apps. It will NOT replace the stock one. Tho it is possible sooner or later.
I hope to have a beta out later today.
Sounds great!
A small icon in the status bar is much better than a big widget on the homescreen!
here u go, try this http://www.mediafire.com/?bx7w8kuhlfc8v7a
shouldnt have to many bugs lol, let me know what u think.
The time left in the drop down is still all jacked. I have shutdown time:-9:-50AM, hours left:-27.81 5:18PM
*I had a super Beta Beta version installed previously and i clean install followed by a reboot cleared this oddity out

I just installed it and it's working great, but as a future update do you think you can remove the small icon above the battery % number and enlarge the actual number so it is easier to read? Basically, make the % number fill up the status bar vertically. Let me know!
Damn u pauly lol, vinay, yes that is planed. I just did this as it was the easiest
Method to go with. A better method is planed.

I gave it some time. And rebooted. Seems to be doing much better now. Ill give it a day and report back.
*EDIT I ran my battery down to 2% and has a shutdown time 30 minutes earlier that the actual time. it was back to reporting -.29 hours. up to that point is was fairly accurate. it did adjust itself well the more i used it. Which is to be expected.
That is one reason am not too fond with "predictive life" it changes with stress. i can run it hard for an hour and show 2 hours left. then let it set for an hour and it shows 4 hours. so i pick it up and use it hard and it dies in an hour.

Do we have some screen shots of this in action? Thanks in advance, from the other thread too, hah
It works but it doesn't look nice and the entry in the notification bar isn't necessary in my eyes but maybe you can change that soon
Thanks!
any update on this app? is it possible to replace the stock battery icon?
Any idea what could be wrong, since my droid pro is showing only full percentage numbers on battery. I only see 10%, 20%, 30% and nothing in between like 21%,22%,23%. I installed many different battery apps and they all act the same.
I just got the phone second hand and runing 2.1
tnx

Since 3.8.7 it will show single percentages on third party apps.
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
I have 3.8.7 and i tried three apps to show percentage in status bar, but they all show only full numbers. Do you have any app that works for you? I don't mind if it's not showing in status bar, just to check true batt life
Overall, luv the phone
tnx

Minimalistic Text did it for me.
Can't vouch for any others.
Anyone know of any battery percentage mod out there? Would love to see one for the RAZR HD family.
The phone does 1% battery increments out of the box if that is what you are looking for.

I don't think there is an option to display it in the notification area, but I use Battery Widget? Reborn! Pro. Definitely worth the $2. I wouldn't go a day without it anymore.
Get GO power master. It does 1 % increments and it's a great free app.

Power Toggles now includes a 1% circle battery for the notification bar, in addition to either on screen widget toggles or notification pull down toggles.
I'm using power toggles. Its pretty cool. Has a 1% battery mod on it too
