Hello,
please help me find a program that would be a today plugin, that can calculate battery state percentage from it's voltage measuring.
Thanks.
Today Warrior does it; I'm sure that there are many others. Go look at the plugin section at pocketpcfreeware.com.
Thank you for your reply.
The program that you showed, like many others, do not perform as I want.
The battery driver can return battery percentage and battery voltage. The problem is, battery driver for my device shows only 1%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% grade, while voltage lowers smoothly. So I need a program that can calculate the battery percentage on its own, not tajen from a driver.
Does anyone know such a program as a Today plugin?
Thanks.

Is it possible to get this information in the battery icon? I guess it's not, cause I've never seen it. Even the simplest feature phone will indicative the current level while charging, usually with an animation where the charge level indicator goes from the current level to full. On the HD2 it seems to only be possible to show charging or full. I'm aware that I can find this info elsewhere, e.g. in notifications screen, but it would be nice to have this information at a glance. I'm guessing that when charging, the current charge level is simply not available to whatever component that displays the battery icon, but does anyone know for sure?

The levels are available, but not in the taskbar itself, if you click the taskbar you will see the HTC Notification screen with the current battery level.
I use the S2U2 lockscreen and it shows the current battery level when the device is locked and charged.
Edit: Maybe Ariel can do the job ??

There is one solution I know about. Quickmenu 2.8 has this option.
If you set it properly, it will indicate battery level percentage while it is
charging.

Battclock works...and it is free. Just search the forum and you will find the thread and the link for cabs. The % is shown on taskbar along with time (or whatever you choose since it is very cutomizable)
There is also spoon charge. The % does not appear on taskbar but it is a one click app if you place it on your quicklinks. It shows a lot of battery information. It is also free. I forgot where I got it, try searching XDA, Omarket or WM or just google.
Is there a way to measure the state of battery to 1% accuracy, i understand that the battery manager only does in intervals of 10%. I was wondering if i could use the charge counter. I found it to be 85 and 95 when battery state changed from 80% to 90% and 90% to 100% respectively. I am not sure how to measure the % in between intervals. Also i cannot found any batt_current in my sys folder(its motorola atrix 4G). Please any suggestions would do. Thanks.
Hello, give a try to the Battery Monitor Widget application on the Store.
It is a real great application to log the battery life.

Here's the article for lazy people like me...
Today's myth debunking:
"The battery indicator in the status/notification bar is a reflection of the batterystats.bin file in the data/system/ directory."
No, it does not.
This file is used to maintain, across reboots, low-level data about the kinds of operations the device and your apps are doing between battery changes. That is, it is solely used to compute the blame for battery usage shown in the "Battery Use" UI in settings.
That is, it has deeply significant things like "app X held a wake lock for 2 minutes" and "the screen was on at 60% brightness for 10 minutes."
It has no impact on the current battery level shown to you.
It has no impact on your battery life.
Deleting it is not going to do anything to make your more device more fantastic and wonderful... well, unless you have some deep hatred for seeing anything shown in the battery usage UI. And anyway, it is reset every time you unplug from power with a relatively full charge (thus why the battery usage UI data resets at that point), so this would be a much easier way to make it go away.

Did somebody try this?
To almost double the Battery Life you can do these steps exactly:
1) Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or more
2) Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour
3) Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF and charge for another hour
I heard it from the same forum.
Hey guys so I know there are a few things that can improve battery life and some things that are supposed to help but may be a mith? Things as only draining battery to 10% and charging to 90% or something like this. What are tips that help? Also if you guys have changed your cpu settings that really improved the battery life let us know!
I drained my battery down to 0% after the second time I used it and it pushed my battery up from 3:30 to 5:30. I also use batterybar to see the stats and whatnot. Another thing you can do is go into power options in the Control Panel and change the plan settings > advance power settings. I usually change the Processor power management settings and the Intel Graphics Settings.

do you ever charge it to 100%
Does leaving it on the charger like when playing a game or something matter? Does it stop charging once it reaches 100
AFAIK, leaving it on the charger shouldn't matter. It's a smart charger. I always charge it to 100%, but never go lower than 10%. I try to recharge around 15%.
Best thing I've done is disable my bluetooth since I have no devices that use it.
Second is lower the brightness while on battery.
I'm getting around 5:30 of battery life doing things like browsing, email, news reading, and using Autodesk Sketchbook Design.
Disable automatic brightness. Change the screen timeout to the lowest value that works for you. Turn off BT. Turn off live tiles and notifications for apps you don't need to update on your main screen and lock screen. Run the troubleshooter for power and see if you can deal with what it changes.
Hey
First, please read this article:
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
TL DR
A Li-Io or Li-Po battery charging cycle like charged to 100%, discharge to 15% and repeat, will have only 300-500 charge/discharge cycles battery lifespan, while a battery charging cycle like charged to 75%, then discharge to 25% and repeat, will get 1,500-2,500 charge/discharge cycles battery lifespan.
I have Samsung laptop, that have application (Samsung Easy Settings), that control charging process. When "BATTERY LIFE EXTENDER" is checked, then charging stops at 80% and will not get higher, and when laptop is constantly connected to wall, then app will let drop battery level 75%, then recharge to 80% again.
I'm using this laptop over 3 years and battery last over 5 hours (time on battery is shorter about 10-15min from "brand-new" state)
So, I'm looking for an android app (for rooted devices), that will stop charging at user predefined level (for example 80%), and cause alert/notification (on discharge), when battery level dropped below user predefined level (for example 25%) - to save battery lifespan.
PS: There is a trend, the newer, high-end devices have built-in batteries, without possibility to replacable (solid smarphone body, hard to open without damage), so that app could make device live longer
PS2: I read about charge control by "/sys/class/power_supply/battery/charging_enabled", but this doesn't exist in my ROM (crDroid, CM13 based on i9505)
PS3: The tasker helped me to "detect" charging over 80% (profile AC is ON and Battery level is over 79% -> task "say bla bla bla disconnect Your phone from wall"), but this is only "workaround" and doesn't work at night (You have to wake up and disconnect phone from wall)
Unfortunately this is a Question. This forum is only used to post actual apps.
You have already posted in right place so closing this.
