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'.

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!
Hey guys.
I've searched for a couple of hours for 2 apps and can't find them. I ran a search on xda and nothing.
First app:
A battery indicator that i can see in the notification area but does not have a icon on the notification bar. I want to be able to drop down the notification bar and see the status of my battery in percentages. I prefer my notification bar as clean as possible.
Second app:
Power controls in the notification area. I found Quick Settings, but that opens another app to change the settings. I'm looking for a way to activate wifi, bluetooth and so on just by taping something in the notification area.
Thanks.
So, the conclusion is that there are no such apps?
It s only too much.
Quick settings is very impressive. It starts the app from the notification bar, thats right.
But, what would you all switch from the notification bar:
Wifi
APN
Brighness
GPS
Auto Sync
Bluetooth
Airplane Mode
etc...
There are too much options for one notification bar.
I'm thinking that an app like this would let me choose 3-4 toggles. I realize it's impossible to have them all.
Oh, and a toggle does not take a row, instead all the toggles should be on the same row but with separators between them.
OK, I' have to say, that I never found such a programm. Sorry.

So the default power bar widget won't work for you? It's pretty much exactly what you pictured, however a widget.
If you want to choose and have your own order, use beautiful widgets.
Why try and cram this into the notification area? You have 5 desktop screens (more with add-ons and custom ROM's) to put this stuff. Navigation from screen to screen is fast and easy (even if you hate the swipe thing).
Or this even? http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.extendedcontrols/
Dunno, just lost as to why I guess.
Yes, you are right, it looks like the power settings widget, but i want it in the notification area to be able to change settings without leaving the current app and stop using the widget. I need the space for other stuff
moved to the Q&A section
What about quickdesk? Kmobs hads mentioned it on twitter couple of times. you can put anything you want even the settings widget and can change it without leaving the app.

Are you talking about the widget? If yes, its not what i'm looking for. Like i said, both apps need to display something in the notification area, so no widgets and no notification bar icons.

i never tried it but damn is too bad the home button gets removed didn't know it. but the app is in beta maybe it will get fixed.
UPDATE: Today the QuickDesk app was released on the market and it fixed the issue, so now i can use it
One problem solved.
PS: I strongly recommend QuickDesk so go download it.
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.
Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk
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 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.

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?
Is there any app, watch face or any option to keep the screen always with the active mode?
I know it will use a lot of batery but i only want it when i am at a party or something similar when you want to call atention. Because at after a day of use i still have like 70%, so batery isnt a problem. if anyone know how to have something similar i would be very gratefull.
I searched all forums and googled it a lot and I am suprised that noone asked anywhere for this.. maybe I dont know how to google anymore
Try out the app called StayLit Wear. It allows you to keep the screen on for a certain time or forever until you set it back to the default timeout. Being able to keep the screen on is also available in Wear Mini Launcher. Note that keeping the screen on for a long time may cause your watch to get hot.
