I use Ariel Battery 2 to show the battery level on left side of the screen and I also have the regular battery status on the upper right corner.
Is there a way to hide the original battery status? I think one is pretty enough for me. I think I've stumbled upon option where I can control it's visibility, but it also could just be my imagination..

Hi. How do I add the icon that shows the battery life on the Tray (at the bottom of the screen)?
Thanks.
is there any program that will show the battery percentage when charging? anyone?
homescreen++ ui is a really small today screen plugin that does it. afaik the taskbar icon cannot do it.
additionally, the measurement should be bull**** either way as long as the charging is active. while charging the value shown is normally far too much, when disconnecting the charger you can see a drop of more than 10% within 1 minute (due to bull**** readings while charging).

You can check out this (current/up-to-date page is HERE)
It is pretty customizable. I used it a lot on my 6800 and loved it. But I had some initial problems with my TP and switched to Jimm98y's GreenBatteryFIX which shows a % in the battery icon on the top instead of bars. When charging it just shows a plug icon though. (I think that is the current version)
You could try THIS out as well.
Thnx Pantaloonie and chrialex, I was lookin for such apps
my current batter meter is a digital one so it shows the number left on my battery rather than just a normal bar.
is there a way i can change the battery meter level into a bar from a digital battery meter?
please let me know
thank you
Deleting batterystats.bin from /data/system doesn't help
what else can I do?
sort of the same problem
even when the battery is down to like 20% it still shows 90% on status
i just ignore it completely and use a third party battery meter like Gauge Battery Widget

it's simply the best!
@op, do you mean the battery indicator in the notification bar always shows full or when you check the status screen? there were quite a few times when i would delete the battery stats on my nexus one and the battery status would show 100% for 5 hrs or so, but eventually it would start to drop. once i fully charged it again it would work normally. one of the few things i hate about the galaxy s is that the battery meter in the notification bar is so out of whack. i hate having to check the settings page all the time and i stopped using battery apps due to battery drain
use the widget/status bar icon i recommended above
Allgamer:
Thank you but my problem was battery showing 100% all the time, it doesn't metter if I use widget or other method.
hondaguy:
Thank you
evantually it started dropping (after few hours)
now it's o.k.
The Galaxy S will show in the notification bar as '100%' untill the 75% mark is reached.
Regardless of what fw I'm using (Currently a recent Gigglebread, problem exists with "standard" CM7 too) - the "Status Bar" (according to "Where's my droid power") is consistantly using around 5-6% of my battery. For something that's basically inert that seems to be quite high.
Any ideas what I might be doing that would effect this?
Did you enable battery percentage in the status bar?
maybe
yes, it could be related to enabled battery percentage in the status bar, check that out
