[Q] Ok Changed my Battery %.... now - Captivate Themes and Apps

I got my battery % icon to change to honey comb.... now I can't make it the "charge battery to show its charging" it says its charging but will not "show" its charging by filling the bar up. I've tried many things changing the stat_battery_charge.xml files and everything nothing works please help??

all battery mods work different.
some dont "fill" up.
or how did you change it?
more info helps us help you....

I replaced the pngs in the framework rea apk and i switched out stat_system battery xml. Too i tried switching out the stat charge xml but that caused it to not go into the charge icon at all just showed battery percent. Not the lightning bold charging symbol

Why not use an easier method and get a zip file to flash the honeycomb battery?

What are you using to compile the apk with? What errors are you getting?

Battery Icon doesn't work

Hello,
I'm building a ROM but the only thing is that my battery icon doesn't work.
When my battery is 100% loaded it gives: Full battery icon
When my battery is 50% loaded it gives: Full battery icon
When my battery is 25% loaded it gives: Full battery icon
When my battery is 10% loaded it gives: Battery icon with 2 stripes
When my battery is 5% loaded it gives: Battery icon with exclamation mark
How to fix this?
Also when I check the registry everything looks ok
[HKLM]\controlpanel\Power
Help please!
Thx
Is there really nobody that can help me?
hi Not sure what could be causing this except a fault in one of the dll files for the battery icon. I would test a different taskbar like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520132 this one as it has a number for the battery and you can monitor it better. If all works ok uninstall it and monitor again.
If this does not work i would Hard Rest the phone

batery percentage

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..

Battery gauge

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.

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.

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.

[Q] Battery full notification is disabled

My galaxy ace is using SGSII JB v11.2 rom, this is a perfect rom, but it has a problem, battery full notification is disabled so I dont know when battery is full? Who can help me? plz!!! (without using app is better)
You need to go to battery stats. If it shows 100%, but shows 'charging', it's still charging.
If it shows 100% but shows 'charged' remove charger.

I use an app called Batterylife.

You just put the widget on ur home screen and a battery indicator shows up indicating charge. After it's done charging it'll say "FULL". That's when U stop charging.
Hit thanks if i helped.
Thank for replies. But I dont want to use more app. In stock rom, when battery is full charged, it has notification sound like message notification. I dont understand why it's disabled in SGSII v11.2 rom?
Oh.. That I have no idea. Even in the ROM i'm currently using it's not there.

Battery Percentage

Anyone know how to enable battery percentage?
Mines just shows the battery but it does show the percentage when I'm charging the phone.

There's a button for that.
Is there a different mod (ADB?) or app that shows battery percentage next to the battery? Perhaps there's a Nexus Trickster mod or something I'm overlooking? The app for non rooted phones is hard to see the numbers after 60% . I'd like to see something that has a 99% next to the battery and is the same size as the clock text.
If you are stocked and rooted check this thread out. Right now it just adds the battery percentage next to the battery, but by reading through the thread you will see there are going to be a lot more options added. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/modpack-mcr-modpack-nexus-6-r1-t2996168
