Hi guys,
I've released my first Android application on the market. It's a free battery monitor that notifies you when your phone is fully charged and gives you misc information. This is my way of saying thanks to all of the developers and ROM cookers here in this great website.
Hope you like it and please share suggestions to improve it
Change log:
- Customizable notifications
- Auto start at boot time
- Fixed full detection
- Fixed notification

Looks impressive, I was actually looking for something to display the percentage use rather than a green bar. Could this replace the conventional monitor on the right or must it remain an extra notification? The health I think is great too, well done!
Thanks for your input. Hum... I don't have a clue on how could I replace the conventional monitor on the right. If anyone has a clue on how to achieve this, or where can I look for this, please let me know.
Doesn't look possible sadly ... maybe a home screen widget would rock!
Nice application, competes with "Battery Indicator", they both essentially do the same thing but I think this looks more colourful for free.
My only issue is that the % doesn't display other than when it is charged. Fix that and make it skinable and I'm in! Maybe have it appear on the lock screen in a similair manner to the iPhone too .

Hum... on my device the % changes in realtime, whenever the battery decreases (discharging) or increases (charging). About skins... never thought about that. I was looking into getting battery history and estimate how much battery we have left in terms of time.
Updated to v4
What's new:
- Voice notification when full.
- Misc fixes.
Updated to v5
- Fixed force closes that happened when people don't have TTS on their devices.
- Battery and TTS objects are now independent of the interface, reduced the amount of code and optimized the framework.
- Only updates when the battery changes instead of timed checks of battery level, meaning much more battery efficient.
Updated to 5.7
Changes:
- Preview voice alert
- Configuration of Text-To-Speech settings from application
- Icons according to GUI guidelines
- Fixed the detection of full charge
- Uptime since boot of the phone (might change in the future for since charged)
Looks fantastic, nice work

I for one would prefer this ( or at least have it as an option ). This would be helpful since I switch the phone off at night.
Thanks.
seems nice! i'm going to try it. just two things i'd love to see:
a nice battery widget similar to "battery info" (with all extra data and maybe a quick enable/disable overclocked feature) and the ability to disable the status bar notification, at least when not charging, since i don't need it as it replicates the stuff i see in my battery widget.
if you add these two whings i'm going to donate for sure
I love it, one of the first apps i downloaded when i got the Desire.. Donating for sure.
Thanks guys, keep suggestions coming. I've changed the uptime to reflect every time we charge, by reseting the uptime variable to 0 when we plug it in.
I would like to see a battery widget geared for us using the after market high capacity batteries (Battery Left never seems to get it right). I would like the option to give the high and low mV values, and have the app base the percentage of the battery left using those 2 values.
Why we don't have the icon like on the screenshoot in the first post ?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
i have not installed/tried this yet, but i wanted to know, is there a setting, whereby a setting to set the fully charge percentage?
Li-lon battery should not 100% charged, right?
does this shut down after its done charging? Or does it use battery resources?
Is there a way to get a percentage number along with the battery icon?
There is a free widget available in the market which does exactly what u assked for.
Just search for "battery percentage"
Sorry, I wasn't clear, I want it up where the current battery icon is, not a widget.
I use battery indicator, it's free from the market and though it doen't show the percentage on top of the battery icon, it shows it to the left of the notification bar so it's always there no matter in what screen you are and occupies no desktop space.
Also, it shows some very useful, very well integrated info in the notification area when you pull it down including how long it's been unplugged, bettery health, temp and voltage.
In case it was any concern, it hasn't affected my battery life at all (i can still get about 3 days on mid-light use)
Hope u like it!!
Use the battery monitor already built in that goes into the notification bar.
Then bring the bar down and the percentage is there.
i've been trying out quite a bunch of modded roms for the past week, and I think I came accross one which indeed had percentage written in the small green battery icon at the top-right corner next to the time. Maybe try out the r1 cyanogen port from modaco.
Most modded roms use some kind of ugly donut icon, which isn't more precise than the stock battery looking icon.
However, i'm not actually sure if having percentage written in the icon changes much : i suppose there must be an equal number of pictures, whatever battery indicator design you choose.

How do I do this exactly?

Yep, I tried but could not see the percentage..?
Does the HD2 support reading cpu temperature and is it available with any android build / software available at the moment??
questions belong in the questions section.. easy answer is yes it does, some of the software you can use is setcpu. it gathers cpu info and displays temp in widget format in either F or C temp readings

oops thx for reminding will ask there, I use SetCpu but could not find any widget for it.
SetCpu reads CPU temperature if kernel and hardware supports it, therefore I am asking if HD2 and any available Android version does.
Moved to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783270
It works for me using battery indicator.
ya knolw how you add widgets to main screen by long clicking on a spot on main screen? press widgets on the box that comes up, then scroll down and press setcpu and apply and you'll have your setcpu widget

Thank you
Using Setcpu widget and it shows a temperature, but anyone can explain why under all conditions the temperature is exactly the same with 5 battery widgets showing battery temperature
I think there is only 1 temperature diode or sensor available and some software say it is cpu, some say it is battery temperature

dont get what you're trying to ask, but shouldn't it be a good thing that all the widgets are showing the same temperature? it proves that its taking the data from somewhere and not just showing some random BS temperature..
Yeah, I think most people believe SetCPU is measuring the CPU temperature because it's called SetCPU not SetBattery, but the temp gauge is actually the battery temperature, which is why we get a range of around 90f/30c. I don't know of a way to have programs or settings actually respond to actual CPU temps, but I'd love to do the same if I could. I'm guessing that it's either not available or not easy because SetCPU is using the battery temp instead of the CPU temp which would be a lot more helpful. This is also the problem with setting the Temp value in SetCPU profiles because it's responding to a value away from the issue (high CPU temps).
What you will find is that if your environment is stable you will see the battery temp go up as the overall operating temp goes up, so it's not useless, just not useful.
Hi all!
I was using a non-sence build (nexus one) and i had the "news and weather" widget of google working good; when i open information on weather it showed me the graph of temperature changing with time; and i could drag time to see temperature at a given time!
Now i am using a non-sence build too (but desire, darkstone hd2froyo), i have the same widget but this time the graph doesn't show me all the hours of the day but only 1 hour interval which is irrelevant; i.e. it shows me when i drag on the graph say from 6 to 7 am while i'm on 3pm!!
Both are version 1.2.02 - RC2!
Did somebody have that too?!
Is there is any fix or new version!?
(i know it's a specific matter but the difference is in the details )
same problem, droid X
mine worked last week on the DX. not working this week on the DX. Same as you described -- I now get a graph that appears to be a 24 hour span with a slider set at the right of the frame listing the correct time (though it doesn't appear to be correct as it corresponds to the graph). When I touch the slider, it changes to a different hour and slides through that hour over what should be (and appears to be) a day-long graph.
All I can think of that I've done between the time when the graph/slider worked properly and it behaving like this is installing and uninstalling a battery widget and killing some apps.
Let me know if you've seen any changes on your end. It was a great feature when it worked, so now I miss it.
Currently I have on my heroc from sprint the aospCMod-20110123-094057. That's working flawlessly so far. I installed the circlebattery-021 and now the icon is just the simple white with the 20 ticks and it just shows 0 or Plugged in. No colors and no actual reading. The battery status is seeing correctly in the Phone Status.
Any ideas? Did I miss something?
Thanks,

NVM. Found the newest circlebattery mod after poking around wiki some more. The newest one isn't on the romrepo atm.
Try out this package, my phone will show correct battery percentage.
just show my screenshot, circle battery looks pretty good.
CircleBattery
On the wiki page for the circlebattery mod is the newest .zip that works with the aospCMod-20110123.
Working just fine for me now. You must use that one, the circlebattery_21 at romrepo.info will not work.
(Won't let me post the link atm)
