Which battery life widget?

There is battery left widget you can try , Dunno if it will work with your current set up though

 

Been using Battery Left since the day i got my phone and i LOVE it. Works great once you calibrate it (Fully charge battery then let it fully drain to 0%). And it displays accurate readings, not just every 10% like many battery apps. I've been using it in widget locker since i got that a few weeks ago. It's perfect addition to it

 

I have done the "to 0%" a couple times, and it's still showing about 30% less than system. I have drained 3 times already. Only an issue with my D2.

Any suggestions for a batt. widget that runs @ 1% or even 5% increments??

 

I use battery left with widget locker and it works great

 

Well, actually, Battery Left has an "estimated %" -- which I presume is estimated percentage left based on your usage pattern. I think that's why the percentage you show is different than the system %. You can change the % on Battery Left to show System % instead of Estimated % in preferences. There are actually many settings in Battery Left you can set.

On my widget, I show
1) Time (e.g., 12:09am that the batt will be dead at)
2) under that, I have Hrs of battery left (eg. 9:05 = 9 hrs 5 mins left of battery life)
3) under that, I have System % (this matches up to almost any other system % battery app I've used)

In the Notification bar, I show
4) Estimated %

So a lot of info with one little app in 1x1 area

 

I know all about that. On my D1 it was flawless. I might be system = 90% and est. 83% (which is fine and understandable) When system hit 80% - the estimated would show the same or a point or two off.

With the D2, the system might show 80, but the est. is showing 54% for example and the accuracy is supposedly 100%.

I don't want to ditch it, but the estimated was always perfect on the D1, now it's WAY off.

 

Did you do a full charge and full discharge to calibrate? If it's 100% accurate, you probably did...Perhaps you need to do it again because something weird happened during calibration?

Have you tried Juice Plotter? It shows graphically how your phone is discharging (or charging) -- so the graph might show you visually what's happening during your phone usage that a simple # can't show.

 

same thing on the DX, it's way off. I just use the system % and the temp on my widget

 

Yep - begin calibration at full battery and drain it out to calibrate with regular use.
I have plotter too, and it's great, but the battery widget info has proven much more valuable to me.
Hmm - the DX has issues too, ok...

 

I use Gauge Battery, which works perfectly with Widget Locker and has a couple of really nice 1 x 1 Widgets.

 

What's that battery widget people use where it's just text that reads out the battery percentage? I.E. "Ninety Six Percent"

 

BattStatt Free - Android app on AppBrain

 

Do ANY of these besides BatteryLeft do incriments less than 10%?
I have tried a bunch, and nothing.

 

i like batstatt

 

Guage Battery reports in increments of 1%.

 

Bet not on a Droid X.

The Droid X system only reports battery percentage in 10% increments. To display 1% increments, the program has to have built in estimations.

I use BatteryTime Lite. I prefer using a 1x1 widget.

 

BattStat and Guage Battery are no go on 1% increments.
Battery Time Lite - I was looking for this because of the data provided.

Well, I think I (we) are SOL on the less than 10% increments. Any other insight into the DX and D2 in regards to this would be great.

 

Not sure, I've got a Nexus One, but I wouldn't be surprised if the widget has some built-in estimation regardless. And it has numerous 1x1 widgets plus larger sizes. I prefer it for the "guage" styles (like a speedometer).

 

Battery Indicator by Darshan Computing does it at 1% steps.

 

I could tell you like the speedo look based on the M3 engine in your sig
A side note - SpeedView does 0-60 as well as other calculations and is free


I will check out Battery Indicator - thanks for that
