Samsung galaxy battery life - Page 2

esilvi,
I'm a newcomer to Android phones, having just acquired a Samsung Galaxy Gio. I'm still building up my collection of apps and widgets, and am interested to learn what app/widget you used for the battery graphs you posted in your excellent post on battery saving tips. (That is, the app that collects/displays the data, not the screen-capture app!)
Many thanks for your input.

I guess you already have found out that the application is the default application used in Android 2.3.4/5/6 that offers info about battery. (Settings/About phone/Battery). If you have an old version of Android it won't show you a graph for the battery evolution. In this case I suggest that you should update the firmware either by doing-it yourself or by sending the phone to any service center. It will take about 10 minutes.

esilviu,
Thanks for that. I'm really a beginner on Android, and am only just learning to try tapping, long-tapping and swiping items to find extra functions!
Now that you've mentioned it, I found that tapping the squiggly line at the top of the battery info display reveals a full-screen graph and bar-chart, just like yours!
Thanks again for the help.
