if you pressed the icon on the upper right of the home screen,it will show active programs and how many percentage of the memory is running...why is it when i close all applications,the percentage of the memory goes back down but a bit higher than before??
for example>>first it is 58%,then when i open program it becomes 62%,when i close it becomes 60%
does this affect anything?
i'm afraid with the high percentage my device will become slow..

just thought of sharing with everyone...if you are tired of seeing the battery indicator showing in decrements of 10, i've found out that quickmenu's battery indicator is able to display actual decrements of 1% e.g. if it is 57%, it will show 57 instead of 60.
I would be interested if I could just get the battery indicator out of QuickMenu and use JUVS HTC Enlarge Start Menu. Am I the only one who feels this way?
i found it to be quite handy in navigating to your programs or systems menu...it can be placed on the top bar or replace your windows start.
well, this is the only program so far that can display the battery correctly and also complement windows start.
Where exactly have you been seen decrements of 10? I have always seen 1% decrements on my kaiser...now my old Hermes, thats a different story.
Battery Indicator by itself?
Is it possible to get the battery indicator by itself instead of the whole entire quickmenu software?
The "low batt" icon kicks in too quick in my rom. In fact I never get to see 1 bar of power, it goes from 2 bars to "low batt" directly.
I want to change the power threshold for the "low batt" icon to 10%. Is it done in the registry or is hard coded in dlls?
Many thanks!
I just browsed through the registry and found this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Power
The key contains the different states of the battery and the percentage levels. Change the values to alter the behaviour of the battery icon.
Good luck!
good find...
I think it controls the bars displayed in the main battery icon, but I still cannot control when the normal 3-bar icon changes into the red "critical batt" icon, currently set at 40%.
searching the forum I came upon this thread, I'll try and ask over there:

Hello guys,
lately my Nexus One abttery consumption gets more and more consumptive. I dunno why, I already reduced the home screen from 7 became 5 and reduce the widgets too. but the battery life now did't even reach one day.
I read that someone has their nexus one running 3 days with browsing and GPS n Sync ON.
any advice how to conserve battery life?
There are plenty of threads discussing that same question. Basically the answer is that there's no perfect formula. Experiment and see what you can achieve.
Personally I tend to turn off most of automatic syncing stuff, but it's not because of battery life, but rather because I want more control.
Also, if your mobile reception is constantly low, your battery life will be significantly shorter.
heres what i did to increase my battery life.
turn off wifi/bluetooth
i leave my screen brightness at 100% (i like my screen bright) and leave gps on since its only used when gps is required
download a battery saving kernal. im using intersectraven 925mv kernal. less power consumption=less battery used. its been shown that 925mv is the best voltage compared to 800mv/1000mv
download "Task Manager" from the market. use it to set all apps to "kill list" so that everything is killed when you put ur phone on lock/sleep. This app helped me save tons of battery. Power doesnt drain at all when your phone is idle and my phone is at constant 250+/- memory.
other then that my phone has all the widgets on the homescreen and battery is good

I don't suggest doing it, since it brings nothing good and no power saved. If you kill widgets that update themselves - you might as well not put them on the screen, since they do nothing. If you kill system services - you might as well uninstall the programs that run them, since they're not working. And for everything else - you're just wasting the CPU time required to kill and then relaunch programs, and the memory that can be used better.

1+2 = Nonsense.
1 - Kernel
2 - Task Killers cause more problems then they help.
Battery life is simply a function of how much CPU time is being used, how much data is being transferred, and how much the screen is on. Poor reception is another thing to consider, in most cases it's one of the three things above. Of course there are other factors, like how much you're talking on the phone, etc, but it boils down to three major things.
CPU time generally is only a problem when using the phone, games, live wallpapers (particularly 3D ones), and sometimes bad processes or badly designed programs. You can evaluate all of this using System Panel in the market.
How much data is being transferred you can control directly by setting your sync settings, or if you want to isolate it completely, disable syncing on all apps and otherwise use the phone normally. If you have Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, GMail, IM (Gtalk/whatever others), Weather, etc all syncing, it's going to be a lot of random traffic. Setting the phone to EDGE-only will reduce some of the battery usage from this, but controlling the syncing itself IMO is a better option than using EDGE.
Screen of course is how much you are playing with the phone, and I think this is the one that most people have problems with. If you're messing with the phone all day long, yes, it's going to "eat battery", and it's going to be caused from all three things above. CPU from you doing stuff, probably network traffic from you doing stuff, and the power to drive the screen. Some people suggest using black themes or backgrounds. Yes, AMOLED uses more power to drive a bright white than an LCD, and much more power to drive bright white vs black or dark, but think about how much you're staring at the background.. Only on the launcher. Do you stare at the launcher all day? But perhaps if you're reading a book for an extended period it's worth it to set it to white on black, vs black on white. Sometimes you can't control this, such as the browser is (generally) a white background.
I'm no expert, but god I'm tired of hearing nonsense around everything "eating battery".
I see, thanks 4 d advice you all
maybe the good way out is the Kernel flashing.
any recommendation maybe? which kernel are the best?
I don't want to downgrade my 1GHz clock though...
and URL is appreciated

At the time I turned off the wifi thats when I stopped using the phone. About 54% battery when I went to sleep and about 7hrs later 1% left.
Your device did not enter into a deep sleep due to some program still running actively in the background. You should use another battery usage tracker for better tracking on specific applications that are running in the background causing the drain.
I should have a bar on the awake portion right ?

Not sure what you meant. Background sync and many applications are classified under Android System so there is no way to tell who is the culprit.
My own usage stops at the part where Awake and screen of bars stop, if an app was keeping the phone awake, I should have a bar on the awake section and none on the screen.
Hi,
This issue is familiar with me. So in wifi settings you have a special option which can be bring up by pressing the menu key which is left from the home button and there is a menu special or something.. and there you can turn on to switch off the wifi when the screen is locked! and do NOT forget to SAVE your changes by menu button!!
Hope this will help u
This issue seems to be going on and off but now its back again.
4hrs since unplugged dropped to about 92%
Just to be fair, it does show that in 4 hours you have used your screen, so much so that it's the 2nd thing on the list. I'm still playing with my SGN but on my SGS2 my screen is always #1 or #2, depending if I use it a lot or a little that day. And Android OS is always #1 or #2 as well. I'd say in 4 hours, 92%, that equates to 2% an hour, which isn't bad, while still turning on your screen every once and a while. At that rate you'll go over 2 days (50 hours), which is pretty good as I recall.
I forgot to take a snap on the screen time, it only has less than 7mins of usage.
I recently got the root rights on my Android 7.0 Blu Vivo 5R using these instructions and files. Ever since I did that the battery charge icon does not show the exact percentage. The icon is still there, and you can roughly estimate the charge by it, but the exact numbers are missing. If I remember correctly, the numbers used to be to the side of the icon. Now they only appear when the charge is 15% or lower, and they appear inside the icon. I'd like to change it to the way it used to be.
Google says I have to unlock the System UI Tuner. "Pull down your notification shade, then pull down a second time to show the Quick Settings panel, then long-press on the gear icon for a few seconds until it starts to spin". The thing is, my quick settings panel appears at pulling up, not down, and it does not have a gear icon to press on. Also tried the " Battery Percent Enabler" app, didn't help.
EDIT: The solution is stupidly simple: "Settings->More settings->Hardware->Battery->Styles of battery percent in status bar". Found it by accident. I'm surprised no one answered.
