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.

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.

ahh ok... well i still use Battery Indicator from the market at it actually shows percentage remaining...
The one thing I noticed and maybe it is what they meant. When the battery is finished charging there is a new 100% icon in the status bar instead of the pop up window.

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?
hi guys
refer attached screenshot. i had 55% battery last night. when i woke up after 6 hrs, my phone was totally flat.
anyone can guide me on how to monitor this or troubleshoot this? its not like this always. this is once or twice only within a 6 month period
im using s5 with POK1 alexndr rom
thanks
Yea, have a look on the screen before that one, that lists the different apps that are using the most battery
It's nothing there bellow this list.. that's why I'm bit confused. Do you know any apps which can monitor these kind of issues?

First thing is your signal , you have bad reception which drains the battery quickly. Next , you can see in the screenshot that your phone is awake even if the screen was off , which mean you have an app draining your battery in background. I can see that you have a modded status bar which mean you are rooted , just install wakelock detector from the play store and it will show you all your wakelocks and alarms.

There's a thing that no one asked here. Is your Battery Okay?.....
ya the battery is totally fine. today i had 96% battery when i woke up i had 84%
Hi all,
It seems to me the battery statistics of my phone is so inaccurate. After a full charge of 100%, and say that I've been using it for while and drain 30% of it, but in the the total battery used up in the battery stats seems rather wrong, with all usage totalling up to only about 20-25%.
Where's the rest of it. What other applications using it? What causes the drain that can't be displayed?
Do any of you experienced the same?
That's an android thing and there is no way, as far as I know, of getting around it. Almost every phone has this problem. Battery stats seem to be set up in a way that only shows percentages from apps that are either actively being used or are using up a lot a battery in the background.
Well that really sucks. Is there really no way of telling it at all?

Well other than that you could get a wakelock detector app to tell when apps are using up too much background power but other than that just killing apps that do show up in the list is one of the best ways to keep up your battery life.
As i understood it shows percentage of percentage.

I think gsam reports out of total if you have root.. So when you add up each percent category it will sum to 100%

There you go, root. I stopped with rooting quite a while back. I still recall the main reason I root was simply because I hate ads. Thankfully, adguard got that fixed. And some customizations that is possible nowadays. Besides that, it ain't all that worthy of roots anymore(IMO) , and as of late, if anything, root will take away the convenience that come with my banking app because it won't run with root.
Thanks for for reply.

They better off make it percentage of percentage of percentage.
As the saying goes, if you can't convince em, confuse em. Lmfao.
