The battery changes in increments of 10%. This makes me sad
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
I noticed that too. Didn't make me sad, but I thought it was really strange.
It's a smart phone dangit! Should be able to count battery percentages to the ones place. j/k.
It's just weird. I hope root will come soon.
Accurate Battery will be here once we can get a clockwork recovery.
Not really sure why most devices only show it in increments of 10% since the internal APIs totally support it.
However, to get around this I use "Circle Battery Widget" which will show the battery level to the 1% on pretty much any motorola phone.
You can download it for free by searching for "fr.depoortere.android.CircleBatteryWidget" in the market.
(Sorry, XDA won't let me post links yet )
I also use circle battery widget, works flawless

Additionally, what do people feel is the best way to run Collins battery tweak
I am running cm 6 rc1

Something else is killing your battery, that's just telling you the % of it while the phone is turned on. Download spare parts and see what it is.... as far as collins batt tweak I used 768mhz and get 90+ hours
I have spare parts...what kinds of things should I be looking for

Anything showing a high % under "partial wake usage?"
Also, I use "Dimmer" form the market to keep my screen brightness down. I set it all the way down (using quick settings shortcut) for when I am inside and when I go outside or into a bright room I have it set to increase to 25% when I toggle the dimmer shortcut on my home screen. I thought the auto-brightness was making it higher than it needs to be in most cases.
Everything seems low under partial wake usage...

Here, check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=762139
Seems like many others are reporting bad battery loss from CM6 -- looks like it has something to do with the display...it might not be properly "sleeping" even if the screen is off. Don't know if there's a fix yet but that other thread at least has some useful information in it.
I'm having a hard with my battery. I just can't make it last more than 6 to 7 hours. Im trying everything. Can anyone post some advices please.

I was having issues until I did the following......(and I am on the same build as you)
Go into recovery and wipe the dalvik cache. Reboot.
Set the automatic screen tweak under CM settings/user interface
These two things have seemed to make a pretty big difference. I am not running any tweaks or anything and with moderate use (some wifi, 10-15 emails, 4-5 texts, gmail sync) I am at 89% after three hours off the charger. While this isn't great (IMO) it is lots better than I have been getting. Hope that helps.
I had the same issue, but with only 3 hours of life between full charges, and one phone call for 15 mins.
I reverted back to 8/24.
Smolck you mean the automatic back light right?
I wiped kalvic cache... ill see how it goes without batt tweak and no apps running.

Yea. I just set it to what I thought were "power saving" settings. It seems the Dalvik cache is what did the main thing to help. All I can say is that I am still over 80% and I have been off charge since 7:00am CST. And this 8/25 build is SMOKING fast on my phone
It is fast. Its even faster with launcher pro.
Are you using the batt tweak? Which kernel?
Down from 55% to 50% in 75min

Stock kernel (what comes with the .zip) and no tweak.
Can someone do an analysis of my current battery usage and tell me what I need to do? Me hero won't even last half a day.

That screenshot isn't enough info. But go to settings/about phone/battery use and you will get a better idea of what is using the most power.
From 100 to 90% in 2 1/2 hours now. That's pretty good right? Stock 8/25 kernel w no tweak. If it keeps working ill backup and add other stuff and see
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Well I think its fixed. Managed 13 hours and still 35% left using Google maps and Pandora plus regular use. Running the same configuration.

Is there an app that dispays what's actually draining the battery?
My cappy seems to randomly drain fairly steadily and quickly some days but not others with the same type of usage so I want to find out exactly whats happening.
Im currently using watchdog and systempanel but neither really show what's going on.

Hi, Nooby question coming up.
recently rooted my SGS2 using the Chainfire Kernel and now have noticed that Android OS is prominent in my battery usage, sometimes around 50%in an hour,
Is this normal?
I also run a HTC IS stock and I have not yet seen ANdroid OS on the usage stats.
What is Android OS doing as I have also noticed Android System in the list at times?
So I've read that Moto phones don't display battery increments smaller than 10%. Has anyone figured out how to change this?
PS: I'm rooted

I hope that helps
Problem I have with Bionic
1) CHEAP CHEAP screen
2) Battery increments 10%
3) Battery drains in 3-4 hours
4) Price was $340 and I had to sign a new 2 year contract because I really wanted this device with the best network, Verizon
5) Phone freezes
Those are the problems I see so far
The main problem is that even if I solve the issue with the battery, I can't do anything about the screen
But anyway, if there is a solution to the 10% drops, PLEASE PLEASE let me know
Subscribing...
I used to use battstatt and that only showed battery percent in 10, 20 blah blah whatever. Try minimalist text.....its been going down by 1%.

circle battery widget works great, thanks
Hello all. Trying to figure out why my battery left app says its 100% accurate but on my lock screen it will say 75% left there, and 56% left on the app. Are there any free or paid apps that are more accurate yet not giant Widgets? I'd like something that will tell me in time how many hours are left so when I tweak things I can find an improvement or regression in the tweaks.
