Database Develop

[Q] Make the bettery meter more accurate?

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.
Thanks

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%

This would be true if that post's OP had kept tabs of the various solutions found in the first post(s). The way it is, if you want to learn new methods, you have to read the entire thing and hope you don't miss something. To be exact, the only thing we need is someone who volunteers to gather the useful suggestions in there.
Although I still think it helps to have a specific thread for info gathering about battery solutions, as it would (hopefully) limit suggestions like "freeze/uninstall some stock apps", that add nothing to who's trying to follow the suggestions.

Removing com.lge.internal will **** up everything...

What is this wakelock? PowerManagerService.Display

It shows up in BBS in the kernel wakelock and usually shows up when i've missed a call. It drains the battery pretty darn fast and keeps the phone awake.

I found this earlier, could be helpful. supposedly that may be a collection of different wakelocks from what I found. Check out the links and I would recommend running your phone is safe mode for a few hours to test and also running normally and freezing some apps. Hope that helps.

This is not the case. What you posted is for the regular powermanagerservice.wakelock, not the one with "display" in the title.

Maybe you're right... i didn't explain that, because in BBs it shows me 1s but not in WLD???????
It appears, only when i plug my phone on charge (or usb), and use the torch in the background...

Anyone?

Did you find out what that powermanagerservice.Wakelock was ? I'm having the same issue ATM on my oneplus one and don't find any solution...(I know I'm on the wrong forum but i think its not device related)

So, did anyone find out how to fix this?
I'm having the same issue on LGG3 (5.0 stock, v21a, rooted).
Phone's battery is discharging much more rapidly than before (for couple of weeks now), even when the phone is not in use at all.
2 highest wakelocks are PowerManagerService.Display and PowerManagerService

The same here

Same here. Guys any solution ?

PowerManagerService.Display - Used during display state transitions
@biggiestuff

Is there any way to modify a setting for display state transitions to avoid these wakelocks? I'm experiencing these wakelocks on my Galaxy S7.

I thought the PowerManagerService.Display had to do with your display on-time. From what I understand you can at least assume that your display is supposed to consume a lot of your battery power. In that case.. Some unfounded guesses: (1) try manually adjusting your screen brightness instead of automatically, (2) keep your brightness as low as possible, (3) disable as many fancy lockscreen and launcher visual effects as you can.
If the PowerManagerService.Display actually does refer to the screen-off state, maybe look into the way your phone displays notifications?

No solution for wakelock?

Guys, Any solution?

App or Widget to display phone battery level on gear?

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'.

Battery Saver mode in Android 9

I can't seem to find the Battery Saver mode in Android 9 (MIUI v10.1.2.0) anymore.
There's also no indication in the battery meter for activating such mode. (used to show as orange in the meter background)
Am i the only one missing this?

Whatsapp / Line notifications have always been unreliable in Chinese ROM, that is quite a common issue.
Another thing that you might check is under Settings -> Battery & Performance -> Scenes -> Non-interactive mode and make sure it is DISABLED.
