I've found this app in one thread in UMPCPORTAL, you can read it here http://www.umpcportal.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=2007&forum=14
It atomatically changes some Vista features when on battery vs when on power and helped me to extend my battery time.

now I know there are many software out there that measures battery life, but non of them works very well on wizard
so Im thinking about making a program that runs on background and quickly drain the battery
we can then time the battery drain and post it on xda developers to compair
this way we can have a good measurement of how healthy the battery really is, and can have a good measurement on how much battery does todays plug-in or oampclock really consume
OR if anyone knows a good way to measure battery life, please tell me.
Just installed battery indicator pro because I like the percentage aswell as the icon.
does anyone know if this waostes battery though?

It only wastes as much battery as any other always on app. I've always used battery monitors (even on my G1) and never complained about short battery life.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i agree
never notice it consume more battery
My phone has an autonomy less than 24 hours.
What is the best Rom,app or tips to increase the longevity of the battery?
this question is a bit too general, take a look in battery usage and see what is using your battery the most... this way we can see what the problem is and how to help
There was an app that you can use to check your phone's battery drain in detail.
I can't remember what it was called... any help?
I had GREAT battery life until today. I would get 35-40 hours for a full charge, and today it didn't last 12 hours...
The app I use is Battery Monitor Widget found in the market. It shows your battery history and how much mA you lose every 5 mins, along with a lot of other stuff.
ok it was called betterbatterystats
It was probably called watchdog
I use Battery Monitor Widget too, find it a great app to use especially if your also trying to undervolt your cpu, you can see the difference with the drain from each charge.
I saw a couple of posts regarding battery calibration ..does it really improve the battery or does it reduce the standby ???if its good ..then suggest any..thanks
