hi,
somebody know how i can enable the percentage display in the battery icon in status bar? i had it already activated once but now i cant find the option nowhere in the settings after flashing a new rom.. i thought it was in spare parts but it isn´t there anymore Oo
another thing is that sometimes when i acitvate the screen after sleep i get this weird color error like a negativ image with really strange looking colors.. than i have to put it back to sleepe and wake again and everything is normal again. i had this with lots of different roms so i think maybe it is a faulty display.. any ideas?
You can get battery percentage by downloading Battery indicator from the market.
I got the same problems with my screen only when OC speed is below 245MHZ. Make sure you have got min 384MHZ in sleep mode.
oh ok..
i downloaded the battery indicator but last time i had the percentage showing ion the regular battery symbol in the notification bar. now there are 2 battery icons :/ ..
i'm able to do this in cyanogens roms.. but havent tried on sense-roms, actually..
in cyanogen-roms it's located in spare parts
ok i found it in spare parts after all.. the thing is, spare parts is in the new rom i have (i think its ezhero) in the settings menu. but u can also download spare parts form the market which i did. and in the market version are a few options missing it seems.. well, thanks guys..

I found from this thread:

The screenshot is attached.
Do you know which application is used?
it can be found HERE .. but be warned, I don't think it will work with the stock ROM for the TyTN II .. at least it didn't work for me when I tried to install it.
Thanks wattsja, it looks dangerous, so I skip this
Working fine in my device, must install first sdkcerts.cab and then one off the other flavours.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321733
i've just bit the bullet and installed it and it worked fine for me.
(I made sure sdkcerts was installed than run the bottom cab on the first post)
I now have a battery icon with the percentage on top.
Your Milage May Vary, but it worked for me.
Flubster
Stand by while I retry ......
EDIT2: Restarting now ......
Edit3: Well, slap me around and call me Susan .. it works. Must have been some other program that clobbered it the first time I installed it. I am happy now!
For the record .. I used the 1st cab (after the sdkcerts) for the full color battery.
I installed Batti: http://pda.jasnapaka.com/batti/
I like the option of displaying a few pixels at the top of the window to represent the battery life left. It saves me from having to keep an actual battery icon in the menubar.
Batti has memory leak issues...
Extra Special Battery Icons are great, but it shows the status only by 10% jumps. Someone should do a updated Kaiser version of this.
Just checking....the battery percentage only shows 100%, 90%, 80%.... right? It does really show the exact amount like maybe 87% or 63%. Can someone confirm this.

Right - it does for me too...
No battery indicator
Hoping somebody can help me here. I flashed new radio software and my battery indicator has stopped working shows main battery as Unknown (and no indication in the meter). Downloaded Batti in the hope that it would kick start something.
Batti works OK but the battery percent is unknown and the voltage is 0.000v. Phone charges OK but the orange LED doesn't come on either.
I need the radio software to make the SMS work on Orange
I think it'd be great if somebody could come up with a new battery gauge to replace the current icon with just a percentage being shown. Seems like that'd be simple??
Actually, I think the gauge is not correct. I looked at the status and it indicated the battery are about 40% left while the gauge shown over 50% ~ 60%. Very inaccurate.
I also noticed this issue. The visual display of the battery icon looks like there is more battery left. The percentages are always lower. I also would love to get the percent of battery left instead of the icon.

Sign me up if we can figure this out! there are apps in rhetorically marketplace that add this to the notification bar but a complete replacement would be nice.

My battery gauge is wayy off too. It shows like 75% and I have like 40% remaining.
Nm, can't read tonight

There are several apps on the marketplace for that: Gauge Battery Widget, Battery Monitor......

I use a free app called "battery Idicator." works perfect.
I think the battery icon is only showing 4 or 5 stages of battery life, and it's very underhanded because it shows more than what it actually has.
a full battery is > 75%
slight sliver is 74% - 50%
orange is 49% - 25%
red is < 25%
I would love to have the icon replaced with something more accurate.

I agree, battery indicator is great but I would prefer an icon replacing the actual incon instead of having two battery icon
yeah same, would be better!

yea, i dont know that ive seen that tho, only on custom ROMs. Im sure someone will chime in to correct me if im wrong tho!
Battery Level is pretty handy. Not a lot of features, just puts a percentage in the notification bar. What I like about it is that it's a box with the number, and not a stylized battery, so it looks less redundant with the stock battery meter still displayed.
The battery indicator sucks. It shows 80% charge at 41%, and 50% at 39. The steps it takes are way too large.
I use Battery Status Pro to get a status bar icon with an accurate percentage, and would love to figure out how to get rid of the stock icon.
There is a mod here:
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/themes/(mod)remove-battery-icon-from-status-bar/
...but the odds of it working on our Captivate are low. I haven't tried it out of fear of bricking the device, even though it's exactly what I'm looking for.
This is nothing new with samsung. It was the opposite on Eternity 50~60+% showed 2 out of 5 bars.
I use battery widget, shows 5 bars on the home screen with the percentage clearly overlapping the bars for easy read ability and when you tap it, it pops up a window with 4 buttons that are shortcuts to the settings page that will allow you to turn off wifi, gps, and bluetooth and a button to bring you to the display settings.
I no longer have to go into settings -> about phone -> status just to chekc my actual battery percentage.
It will never get fixed by samsung so no sense in complaining, find an alternative you like.
When I Have Fewer Battery Bars, My Power Drops Quickly Why Is That On My SGH-i897 (Captivate) Phone?
The battery icon display consists of seven visible levels. Some levels have different values depending upon on pattern of use.
From a fully charged state, L6 is 100%, L5 is 80%, L4 is 60%, L3 is 40%, L2 is 25%, L1 is 10%, and L0 is 5%.
Guys, I am using a metamorph theme called ClearBar http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743358
The battery icon there changes according to colour etc. and seems more fair and accurate, though still a little optimistic.
The problem I think is because the steps are too large: 100, 80, 60, 40, 20 and 0.
I have 'Gauge battery Widget' (1x) on my main home screen. I calibrated against the Captivate's own gauge (Settings > About Phone > Status ... see Battery level) and they match 100% (perhaps the widget just reports that value graphically?). But, the cartoon of the battery status in the banner at the top of the screen overstates battery life until one get unto the orange and red zones (above those zones, who really cares?).

In addition to this you can also use the BlackBar theme that was posted here a little while ago, it uses the same metamorph theme so it changes your icon completely. Ill throw up a link when i get on my desk top but the tread should be towards the top of the apps theme forum.

Ok so I updated to CM7.1 RC1 today and I`m seing something strange. The notifications are stacked on the bottom of the notification drawer. I cant figure out how to change that..... Also I`m unable to get screen-off animation going.
Thanks in advance
Ok went to the latest nightly from today and animation is working. Still cant figure out the notification and I think I`m having issues with Deep Sleep. CPUSpy only showing few seconds in Deep Sleep and mostly 600MHz used.... Maybe Im using wrong Governor ?
I`m trying to charge to 100% and reset battery stats, then will leave over night to see whats going on. If no luck I guess I`ll go to 5/30 OC kernel. That seemed to have a good Deep Sleep for me on other older nightlys..
Ok it was deep sleeping all night so I guess I`m good..... Intrestingly went to sleep with 99%, woke up it said 98%, but after going in to CPUspy and looking at gmail it went down to 96% almost right away....
Still cant figure out how to change notification, not to show up from the bottom, but rather from the top
so yeah,,, i got a nexus one from a friend of mine (whos done alot of flashing and installing custom roms on this phone so i dont really know whats running) but it drains about 10-15% battery every hour or so.
ne suggestions on how i can figure out if its a bad rom or a bad battery??
thanks
Easiest way to know if it's the ROM is to flash a new one. I suggest cyanogen mod it is some what simple but works well and battery is just fine. There is plenty of documentation on the forum to show you how to flash but if you still can't get it just ask and I can walk you through it. You may also want to check settings -> about phone -> battery use to see what uses up the most of your battery.
you could try calibrating the battery
so ive ran some tests, basically fully charge one time without simcard and another time with, to see if the radio drains more battery. and both times its about the same.
i did order a few batteries off ebay, but probably will be like two weeks or so before they come in.
mmmm the md5 stuff kinda confuses me haha, dont know how that stuff works
You don't always need to check md5 you can if you want but most people don't just make a nandroid backup and that way if the file is corrupted you just flash it back and your good. But if you do want to check them just download ManD5 and check to see if the one on the file matches the one on the website.
Under >Settings >About Phone >Battery >Battery Use
What are the top 5 applications and what %?
Wifi should be set to never sleep. under >Settings >Wireless >Advanced >Wifi Sleep Policy
Find out which ROM and radio are being used. Cyanogenmod7.x or OxygenROM would be good for battery life.
You should also try charging the phone to 100% and then wiping battery stats.
Does your phone get warm when charging?
Having swapped ROMs back and forth, wiping everything, I get the same bad battery life (-10%/30 minutes). Wife's N1 runs fine, ours ran the same stock OTA versions until this. I needed to see if it was something related to the OS and tried some alternatives.
Replaced battery - no difference (wiped stats, etc)
Turned off data (wifi and non).
I can't tell when the radio was updated on mine - if it was related to an update that would correlate to the problem, but I have the latest radio that has been out a while.
Logcat looks just fine. It's not data related, nothing seems to be going on when charging...
My hands are cold, using the N1 as a hand warmer right now (it's plugged in)...
There's a bug with CM's kernels causing a LOT of battery drain when you set the wifi sleep policy to anything but "never sleep", check that and change it in case it's not. I know it sounds counter-intituive, but it really works.
I set mine to "never sleep" and easily last a full day on a charge. I also calibrated my battery using the battery calibration app, and using a plain black background helps somewhat if your N1 is AMOLED
I'm using rugglez New Year's gift (cm10 on new BL, BB30a)
I found my battery status not drop on each % and it will decrease only the screen is on. i can use the setting battery to see the history but it is not in detail and it will be erased after phone is shut down.
Also, using battery widget monitor can't read the actual status too, when i woke up and the phone is shut down, BWM apps history only shows a drop from 82% to 0% in one second.
what can be done to solve this problem?
i just want the battery status shows the actual condition even the screen is off for the monitoring purpose.
i remember that i have seen solution on DJ ICS post, but i don't know can the patch be applied on cm10 new BL

Try the app betterbatterystats (paid), and try to let battery go to 0%, fully charge it, go into CWM and clear battery stats
