The two programs represent two different concepts.
VistaHide doesn't show battery in percentage (%).
Ariel battery does, and thus it is more accurate
in that case thats OK with me..but every ones has their own opinion
Vista Hide
I vote for vista hide as well. It doesn't take up much real estate on the screen and gives a visual indication of the battery charge. I like to have a visual cue to my battery charge at any time and vista hide does that. The overhead is minuscule and to be honest, although dcd put % charge in the battery meter in his new 1.7.0 ROM, I really don't need to know the charge to the nearest percent. I just need to know whether the charge is approximately i.e "do I need to stick the PDA on charge anytime soon or not?"
But I agree that we each have our own preferences. For me I like to keep the taskbar free for X-button apps display. And vista hide is the only way to achieve what I need.

Ariel battery is great, exactly what I was looking for! I prefer it over vista hide personally.. I like the % and I can see it in my today screen (where my phone sits the most) it takes up a negligable amount of screen real estate as well... that useless top left corner. Thanks a bunch!

Id love a large battery bar that stretches across the entire today screen. Not just tiny bars and tiny percent signs or large battery icons that display no information. Does anything like this exist? Thanks!

Alternatively, u can try magicbutton. It has an option which allows you to distance the battery bar at the top of the screen in a discreet manner
apologies..typo error- "display" i mean
iLauncher from SBSH also offers a complete indication line for the battery (or other stuff)...
Tell us what u finally did and if u like it plz

Thats why there is an EDIT button.
I have been using "Batti 2.1" for more than 1.5 years on WM5 and WM6 devices. It has been very reliable and very small in size (~ 100 kb). It spans across the Top.

yeah i'm with steel77. batti is a very useful program. it allows you to not only choose the colour of your battery bar, but the height in pixels, percent graduations and low and critical power alarm points. all that and it stays on top in all applications. this is what you need!
wkTask also has an discrete and nicely blending bar, and is the best task manager i know (MUCH better than MagicButton which uses quite some sys ressources) .. oh and it's free of course

Wow Batti 2.1 is a kickass program for a battery bar!

Hi, I'm having a problem regarding battery draining issue, no matter Eclair 2.1 or Froyo 2.2, I left my SGS fully charge 100% at 12am and find out it only left 75% at 6am. So you guys can imagine how suffer I am to survive using this phone especially on heavy use. But I really love this phone
The main culprit which I believe is the Display which consumes high power as you can see in my snapshot bellow
I would like to ask your favor to share what is your Display % and Do you have any battery draining problem?
You can find the % info as below
Settings>About Phone>Battery use>Display
Do you have any suggestion how to solve this? Or any recommended ROM that can fix it?
Terima kasih. Thank you. 谢谢. Obrigado. Gracias. Спасибо. Vielen Dank. Dank u. Shukran

More info:
**I've tried the batterystats.bin fix
**I've closed all background running programs
Currently I'm using i9000, Froyo 2.2 xxJPK, rooted, OCLF v2.1, standard TWLauncher
Have you tried turning off 3G and WiFi overnight?
I get the impression that "Display" actually covers everything other than Cell Standby, Wifi, and Phone Idle.
Use the test menu *#*#4636#*#* from the dialler to get more detailed battery history, especially check the CPU usage stats as a runaway process may be chewing through the battery.
Hello! Yesterday i downloaded Gsam APP to see my battery life and how long it lasts. My results were really bad. The consumption was around 7-8% hour, and I use the phone way more than yesterday..
Those are the screenshots of gsam:

Is there any solution? I really need this battery to last way more than this.
My moto x is not rooted, should I root it? My version is 4.4.3.
Cheers
First, I noticed the moto x drains real good when on calls, more than my N5. So you need to keep in mind according to gsam, 25 percent of your battery drain was the phone calls. That's huge!
Also, you have almost 3 hours of held awake time....and I'm pretty sure if you click the drop down in gsam app screen, you can't check the held awake time or times waking device, cause you're not rooted.
And, you have Bluetooth on the entire time, and location services and Google now I'm betting? Those will take a chuck of battery life also.
Lastly, 22 percent of your drain was screen. Auto brightness? Were you in bright areas a lot? When the screen is bright, it will drain fast too.
So, all that said....I'd say your battery times are about right. Getting better times will take some tweaking and sacrifice of conveniences.....and getting used to toggling features on and off....instead of always on.
Check out post number 2 in this thread....its our battery life help thread now in the N5 section. But pretty much all the info in post number 2 applies to about any device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785128
Of course, you're going to be limited by not being rooted....so some things you can't do....but most you can. Or at least you can read up about it.
Good luck!

"Until 11:30 PM"
I have no alarm at 11:30 and this prevents my battery percentage from showing. What is this and what setting will turn it off?
It's the estimated remaining battery until empty. Don't know how to disable it yet...

Thanks! This is really annoying hopefully there will be an option soon to disable it!
There is a toggle "Battery percentage" in the battery settings screen. Then, it shows percentage and switches to the time remaining when you pull down the quick-settings menu.
My annoyance is that they only show "past 24 hours" now in the battery usage stats. I like to see the longer term picture, because I might charge the phone once a week or so. It no longer tells me when I last charged nor the discharge slope where I can see whether I am using it more or less in the last couple days...

I know adding an app to do this might be annoying, but I have AccuBattery and love this app. Not plugging it, I just like it for this reason. Gives battery health and other stats. Has a free and pro version, I remember paying I think 3 dollars for the pro. Worth it to me.
Hello everyone, today I woke-up with my phone pretty much dead, with only 1% of battery. The weird thing is that before bed, the battery percentage was around 70ish percent.
Here's a screenshot of the battery usage:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Some details to help me figure it out the issue:
Auto optimize daily is on.
Auto restart at set times is on (it restarted around the time that the battery percentage drops to the floor).
Adaptative power saving is off.
Background usage limits is configured properly.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance!
it's possible the Google services was running (updates and such) and used up a lot of the battery. Google being the OS developer tends to run quite a lot of things in the back without users knowing, and this is quite normal. As to draining such large amount, is your location in a poor data coverage area? if you are, then the phone likely was using extra battery to strengthen the signal. Note that even with wifi connection, data is still used for some activities by the phone.
if this keeps persisting then Google is probably not the culprit and you'll want to report the issue right away to samsung using samsung members app > get help > error report. just be sure to see the drain and immediately report.
Also, I've seen some users install 3rd party apps to track in finer detail on what is using the battery the most. I myself do not know as I don't use it, but you can easily find some recommendations on Reddit i think.
