I show an app using battery that isn't even running. I shut off and turn on phone and it is still there. I would like to clear this list of which apps are using battery and let it start again. I want to make sure the app isn't using battery when not running. More importantly i really like to clear these stats whenever I recharge so I see which apps used battery TODAY, not since I bought the phone.
Thanks!
There should be a refresh button in the "battery" statistics page. It should be in the upper right corner.

Hey guys, I am looking for a battery meter that displays the percent of juice left on the notification bar next to the clock. Any suggestions?

battery indicator
SysTray. Shows SD, memory and battery data and you can decide which one you want to see in the top left corner. In the notifications its fixed and shows all data at once. I love it!

First, you need spare parts. Go to Battery History and check the % of running time. If its near 100%, your phone isn't sleeping. Next is to find what is causing this issue.
Go to homescreen, hit menu, hit settings. About phone, Battery Use. See what is using the most battery.
Next, go to settings, Applications, running services. See what services are running. If your phone isn't sleeping, its probably one of these services causing it. For me, Coreplayerservice, which is the music player service caused the phone not to sleep.
Spare parts is showing 68% and that's probably because ie been using th phone a lot this morning

You should check the CPU usage next on spare parts...that should show you the apps taking cpu time

ill check that now
68% is very high unless you think that since you unplugged the phone you have literally been using it 2/3 of the time.
If you don't want the full blown Spare Parts app, but want the battery piece then you should download "BatteryHistory" from the market.

Its not good.
mines at 62% by android system
Ok installed EB01. Everything's working no problem at all. Then I was looking at my battery icon. It was at 40-30 percent then all the sudden drops down to 10% it doesn't even try to hit 30-20 % etc. Is this a known bug or is there a fixed to this? I've tried wipe and battery wipe on the red clock work.I'm clueless what next to do. No task killer. Juice defender etc. Thx

You charged the phone 100% and then cleared battery stats?
Yes.

The fact that you are giving battery life ranges implies that you are judging by the stock battery graphic ib the upper right, which is remarkably misleading.
Install a better battery mod/theme or simply download OS Monitor and look at its Misc tab.
Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.
Thx I'll do that.

Weird. Download battery % app. Phone battery icon is at full bar. But then app battery % is at 80% . That's weird. This a known bug to EB01 Stock dedoxed?

What I've noticed on some is that they yank the battery when it's full during a bat cycle based off of what the stock image on the upper right says. What is more then likely the case is that you wiped (or didn't wipe) the battery when it was actually at 100% so it reads at 100% when it really is at 80%. Best thing to do is charge the phone till the bat app says 100%, then wipe bat stats after letting it charge for an addl 10 min. Then full cycle the battery and charge again and report back.
If this has already been addressed, please let me know. I couldn't find any relevant threads.
Recently, I've been noticing Maps is showing up in my battery usage screen, using 12-15% of my battery by the end of the day. This would be perfectly acceptable, if I had opened Maps at all on these days. This just started happening to me, not corresponding to any update of maps. Has anyone else noticed this? More importantly, does anyone have a solution? I've dug through the settings a bit but can't seem to find a cause. Strange that it just started happening also, seemed to start after the first time I used the turn by turn nav but could be just a coincidence.
TL;DR: Maps using more battery than it should when not in use. Why?
I've noticed that my maps will start up everytime I reboot. I just kill it before it gets to using any of my battery.
Are you checking this usage under spare parts? I've seen others report spare parts showing this. I don't use that app but I never see any listing of it using my battery at all.
My maps dis this .for a while. It was so annoying that I just wiped my phone and all is good now.

Yeah, try clearing data for maps in settings/applications

I was checking usage via the Android battery usage screen, not spare parts. It seems to have stopped ever since I force stopped it from the battery usage screen. Guess I'll just have to keep an eye on it.
It's been doing that with all phones since the new update.

Does it have anything to do with "use wireless networks" being selected under settings-location? That option sends your location data to Google periodically ("even if no apps are running"); I wonder if they are doing it through the maps app.
I suppose it's possible but I'm not sure it's necessary for them to use an app to send your location data.
Battery usage has to equal 100% so I find if I don't use my phone much maps will have a large percentage. If I use my phone the display and whatever apps I happen to be using take up a larger percent of battery pushing maps off the list. Something has to be listed on there even if it isn't using all that much battery simply because it has to equal 100% and if you aren't using your phone it is going to grab whatever is using battery even if it isn't much. When I look into the maps app I find the usage time is always quite low.

If its not maps taking up battery it'll be something else taking a large percentage

What he was saying was that the percentages you see in the battery percentages are percentages of the percentage of baattery used. So if your battery is at 50%, and maps says it's used 15% it's used 15% of 50%, not 15% of your total battery. I knew this already, this is not the issue. Maps hasn't been doing it the past few days, but it was definitely beyond normal usage, i watch the usage screen quite closely (call me compulsive lol).
It seems to me that he is saying that the phone will report that maps is using the battery just bec1ause it has to say something is using it.
If that is what you are saying, do some more reading on percentage. If maps was not being used, the other processes would just have larger numbers.
Have you tried to make sure google latitude is disabled? It is a part of google maps that will show your location to your friends.

I'm looking specifically for an app that can help me find out what is using my battery at certain times. I am losing a lot of battery (25%) overnight when the phone is sleeping (like me) and I need to look in the morning to see what has consumed it. So, basically, an app that can be started at a certain point or reset, and viewed later and find what's using the battery. Anyone any ideas?

Look for better battery stats in the market.

Edit : oh wait theres one more I just remembered, watchdog.
