Is it possible to have the battery meters in the phone be more accurate than every 10%, or are all Motorola phones display battery levels for every 10% (except for 15% and 5%)
when i feel that my cell battery is running low and i need to step out i just simply plug in the charger, power off then power back on. Phone instantly jumps 30% or so.
I use Battery Indicator from the market. It is a status bar icon, not a widget (which I like better since it can be seen from every screen, including the lock screen) and the 1% increments work perfectly on the D4. The free version is just a black and white icon but the pro version can be skinned.

I will try this battery app. Its annoying to see the 10% incremental change. Its hard to recognize which app is consuming what.

I've been using Battery Circle since the day the Droid 3 was released.
are there any apps that replace the battery icon?
The information on how the D4 indicates battery charge is here: http://code.google.com/p/battery-indicator/wiki/OnePercentHack
I checked it, and the indicated file does indeed work to show 1% battery increments. I am considering making a widget for the D4 that shows the battery in 1% increments based on the content of that file. Would you all find that helpful?

I, for one, would be very interested in this.
Simple Battery Monitor Widget
I have tried a few apps from the market, but although a few support the Motorola 1% trick, they seem like overkill to me, and for something so simple, I don't really want to pay for it. All I want is a very simple widget that shows 1% increments.
Here's what I have in mind:
Also, I am looking in to a way to provide a service through the app that will broadcast 1% increments through the Android system. It may require root, it may not even be possible, but if I can do it, it would mean all apps would receive the 1% increments as long as the app is installed.
Either way, the project will end up hosted on GitHub under the GPL. If anyone is interested in helping out, I'll put it up on GitHub ASAP and we can work together on it.
Ideas for other features:
Add toggles for Wifi, Network Mode, Screen Brightness, Bluetooth in the App; instead of using built-in themes, make some kind of simple "theme file" so that it is easy to make new themes; add an optional notification in the drop-down; ICS support.
I'm using Gauge Battery Widget. It supports 1% reporting in
- status bar icons
- charts
- widgets
More details about app at http://www.gaugebatterywidget.com, you can download it from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hubalek.android.gaugebattwidget.pro
There is an app in the market called " moto charge" that will read 1% on stock rom. It Does not work on asop or ics roms.

The app "Minimalistic Text" also displays individual percentages, it's just a widget so it doesn't display in the notification bar but it was the first app I found to display the exact percentage, and it's free.
This is my first post so I can't link to the page, sorry.
I use badass battery monitor and it shows by 1%

I am after a battery icon that shows the percentage left of the battery, instead of just the basic 3-4 bar battery.
iv done several searches looking under all the forums and the closest i found is in the link below. This is perfect for me however i cant get it to work. The icon stays at 90% then doesnt chnage, even though my battery level drops down. Idealy id liek to try and find a fix for this, but alternatively, does anyone else have any suggestions?

QuickMenu shows the percentage in the task bar. It is obviously a Start Menu replacement as well....but the battery percentage is a great additional feature (I'm not sure you can keep it showing while in other programs, however). You can find it here:

Idealy id like a % as well to replace the stock battery icon, if anyone can recommend any more, but if not ill just stick with the batti program.
cheers guys
Try spb shell. it has a nice icon.

Hello.
Today so wired because 'a tiny green spot' as I wrote...
By the way, I am so confuse this point.
My previous one is Trinity (WM5.0).
In power window, My previous one shows 'Remained Capacity' as graph and number.
However, This one just show bar graph. It is quite inconvenience for me.
I would also like to know how to get more information on battery status than the small taskbar icon...
yeah me to..got mine yesterday after using the htc touch for 2 years.. but i guess you can't see the capacity..lets wait for a app
Batti 2.4
I'm almost 100% sure the Topaz doesn't show the battery status as a percentage.
Maybe you could try Batti 2.4. It shows a colored bar at the top of your display.
It works in VGA displays, i think it should also work on WVGA.

Don't forget, you can go into the Power settings of the phone (through advanced control panel/settings) and see the power bar with a bit more detail
Also you can see when the last time you charged, standby hours, how much the phone has been used since last charge
It's actually really cool in the sense of information you can finally see

Yes it works!!!
Look at the purple bar at the top of the screen, my TD2 is now charging.
When it's not charging you get a rainbowcolored bar.
You can configure it in any color you like.

If you access the application "System Info" in All programs you could see battery status as a percentage.
I think this application comes pre-installed in D2.

I thought it was on the notification screen.

apologies... seems the topaz / rhodium version of tf3d I was using on my touch pro is better than the one we actually got with the device!
I like to use GreenBatteryFix. I used a version of it on my Kaiser and the same version works now on my D2.
Basically it removes the 4 bars from the battery icon and puts a percentage number in it's place.
Go to the link below to download all of the versions and give them a go, not sure which version i use that works but i'm sure one of these should work.
http://rapidshare.com/files/221692844/greenbatteryfix.zip
I got this link from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3630494 - so don't forget to show your appreciation to the developer if you like his work.
Has anyone else tried this "BatteryFix" on the TD2, and if so, what version did you use that worked?
I installed FinixNOver cab with percentages and it works fine here. But I wonder I had a TD before and Shaks ROM installed on it named Topaz ROM. So there was a better notification screen with battrery status with percents. I can't see such here. Maybe we have to activate?
i use FinixNOver too at my td2... works fine!!

I've installed WMMiniBattery and it works well. Yesterday I've installed tsowentaskbar.cab and percentage status is shown above battery icon now.
You can use the Enhaned Notification that has the Battery Percentage:

So I have just flashed a new ROM (The Dude's Edition if you care) just to find out that there's no trace of one of my favorite apps on the market - Battery Status.
Cyrket page is still there, but QR code does not lead anywhere. I bet it has been pulled b/c it was just too similar to a paid app Battery Percentage.
However, since the app was free, I guess it is legal to post it here. Can anyone please do so? I really miss knowing exactly how much battery power I have left just by glancing at my screen (yes, I know there are ways around it).
I just downloaded it yesterday or the day before...
You're lucky!

Thanks for the upload, been looking for this app for a while!
Does this app shows percentage on the status bar??? I am looking for a battery status app that will show percentage on the status bar in a rooted G1 with Kingx 2.3 ROM. Anyone here know which app I should get free or paid.
Why don't you just install the app and see if it does what you want it to do?
Here's a screenshot of the app:

The red circle also changes color depending on the theme. On some themes it's blue or even black.

cool, That is exactly what I wanted from the app...I have tried about 5 apps today and un-installed them because the number does not show up in the status bar just the icon of the battery>
So I install this app and there is still no number by the battery icon on the status bar...I would really love to find and app that will do that for rooted phone with HERO ROM. Here is the snap shot of what I want on the battery status, right now I only get the icon of the battery and no number.
I guess HERO reports battery somehow differently. I won't be of much help here though. You need to look for a hero-specific app in the market.
well, thanks for the help...I went in the HERO section of apps and theme and they have 2 battery apps. One is called Battery Monitor 1.0.5 which works but the font color of the number is black and the status bar is black so you cannot see the % on the status bar. The second one is Battery Level and this one is also paid app and has received horrible reviews.
In the end it does not look like there are any battery status app that will properly display the status on the status bar...the wait continues until HERO is fully understood int eh Market Place.
Thanks for the Help!
Sorry to keep buggin you guys but I found the solution from Battery Monitor 1.0.5 there is an option to change the setting of the font color on the status bar. You have to be in the enable/disable screen and press menu and setting.

Dude. THANKS!!! I had then, lost it by wipe/flash and didn't know it was gone until too late and didn't have a backup!
Is there such a thing? :good:
Yes but most eat a lot of battery in the process of cycles checking and displaying the battery status, I use pie controls that can instantly display the battery status and time, when I pull up the menus from any screen im in.

Do you mean pie controls installed on the gear let you see the battery level on the phone?

Sorry, No. Disregard, I read your question incorrectly, dont know of an app. that can do that, since my Gear always depletes it's battery before my phone, never looked.
I can appreciate the concern of battery consumption with such an app/widget but if it could be set to poll only when the gear screen is on OR better yet, when the button/widget was pressed, that would be ideal. Wish I was smart enough to make such a thing.

If you are using a custom launcher there are quite a few, you can use UCCW, Zooper or you could also find a battery widget on the playstore.
Otherwise tap your screen twice with two fingers and it will display your battery percentage if enabled in gear manager.
I just double tap the screen with two fingers to quickly check battery level.

Thanks for the reply but I think there is some confusion as to what I'm after. I have UR Battery on the gear which gives me a widget already to display and see the battery level remaining on the gear itself. What I am after is a way to simply look at the gear to get a battery level reading somehow of the PHONE itself, not the gear.
PS: If I tap the screen twice, my screen turns off. I have this set up in apex and using "Screen Off" app I believe it's called. I'm thinking again though that you are referencing showing the Gear's battery level this way and not the phone's?
I use solo battery widget which displays a circular graphic with numerical % inside it. Works well

Tasker to the rescue
This can be accomplished on the gear s2 using the task s2 companion app. Setup a task to send the current battery level as a notification. Enable tasker notifications for the gear s2 in gear manager.
I was needing the same thing, so created an app called 'phone battery widget'.

Hi guys,
My Galaxy S4 just "died" and I decided that I'm over paying big bucks for high end smartphones when today's smatphones are just as capable. So I've bought a second generation Moto 4G but I have some doubts:
- When I press the ON/OFF button to turn off the phone it only shows me "phone off" or something like this...on my GS4 it used to let me choose from "phone off", "airplane mode" and "restart". Can this button be configured to act like this?
- On my GS4 the notification bar was just awesome. I pulled it down and I could instantly turn on/off the WI-FI, 4G, set the phone to only vibrate, set the phone to airplane mode, set the display's brightness to low during the ninght. Can I configure the notification bar to act like this?
- When the battery is charging the notification bar doesn't show the percentage. Can this be changed?
1) No, you'll need to use custom ROM or Xposed in order to do that. It is not customizable by default on Lollipop.
2) Yeah, just pull down again once you're in the notifications area. You can also pull the status bar down with two fingers at the same time, that will also open the quick settings.
3) The battery percentage can be found on the Quick Settings part of the notification shade, which you can access by using the methods I pointed out above. The battery percentage also shows up on your lockscreen while charging, right next to the icon.
If you wish to have the battery percentage shown at the status bar at ALL times, download Battery Percent Enabler from Play Store. It does not require root or anything else.
Hope I helped.
Do you have KitKat ot lollipop.
Using xposed you could.
Use two finger and xposed
Use xposed.
I cannot see the "set phone to vibrate" anywhere here. I don't want to have to install a custom rom to do something as basic as the stuff I've described. If it comes to it I may install apps that can do what I'm looking for but this stuff is so basic that installing a rom is just pure overkill.

This is the GS4's taskbar. Not only you can have those functions I've mentioned above but as you can see you can choose a bunch of other functions
Just click on the bell in the upper left corner and the phone will change to vibration mode.
For tweaks in the notification area you can root your phone and follow the hints of my preposters.
But there are a lot of apps in the playstore to rearrange or change the notification bar,most of them need root privileges but not all of them. Here´s an example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle&hl=de
And as you see by the vibration mode,some features are not visible at the first glance, every phone is different and you may find some things by just using it.
