Lately my bionic has been getting worse and worse battery life. I don't know which app is sucking up my power but I feel like the battery stats aren't showing the true picture. Shouldn't WidgetLocker be showing up here?
(See Attachment)
What is an app that provides more detailed statistics than what Motorola is letting me see?

Just curious...
What is the importance of the Battery stats file, and how it relates to overall battery life?
Just trying to understand the impact of wiping battery stats and how long it takes to build it again.
Thanks!

Ok so I am compairing this to stock vs cyanogen 6 RC3. I have seen better battery life on stock then I am on cyanigen 6. I don't know what is eating away at my phones battery. I have a task killer but who knows if it is doing its job. Any tips or suggestions I'm all ears

I get better battery life with cm6 rc3. Make sure it's not some bad coded application that's eating away your battery.
My battery life sucks with CM6-RC3. Stock was much better. I'm trying to figure out what bad app I have installed that's eating away at my battery.

The battery changes in increments of 10%. This makes me sad

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

Yes that is a great app to use. I dont have a droid 3 until tuesday but hey i know alot lol. The 10 % battery increase is a motorola thing. Its like that on all of their droid phones.

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
I'm looking to drain my battery as fast as possible, to aid in battery calibration. Are there any apps that will run the CPU at 75% to 100% on purpose, similar to that of CPU burn-in apps for PCs?
For now, I'm just running the GPS and a game with an animated menu and scrolling credits. Do you guys have other suggestions for idle battery drain (me not having to do anything)?
I use batterycalibration from the market for my battery calibration.
If you are looking to kill battery, YouTube will help and backups in cwm typically drain my phone as well.

Netflix will kill it on 4g in 3-4 hours by itself.
Watch NFL Network on 4G. That kills the battery quicker than the phone can charge.
