I used this phone almost for one month and I found that the battery icon status on the top doesn't update. It always show full status even though the battery level is drop down to 85% shown in settings->about phont->battery level.
This problem just start occur from yesterday.
Install "battery indicator" to give you a better info.the icon formula vary for each firmware

The problem is the icon can reflect battery usage in my last one month but now, starting from yesterday, the icon always in full.
There should be something wrong

Are there any hacks/applications out there that will display the battery level percentage in the native battery display in the tor right of the android screen on the status bar?
I've seen battery apps that display a battery indicatior as a widget, or as an additional item on the status bar.
It just seems redundant to show the same info in multiple places...
Any ideas?
No, it's been asked before.
I think some ROMs and themes used to have it. The problem with it was that it only has like 4 or 5 states, so it would be very inaccurate. For example, the real percentage could be 41%, but it would still you show 60% because the range is 40-60% (not sure if I said it clearly).
Hello everyone, first post on XDA
Anyway, I've been noticing problems with my battery icon on my Vibrant. For example, the icon is still showing as if I have 3/4 of my battery left, but it actually has only 46%. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
Yeah. I just installed the BatteryIndicator app. Adds an icon in the opposite corner of the screen (top left) with the correct percentage. Works for me.
Yeah its a common issue. I'm sure someone is working on a fix for it. Might want to get a battery app in the meantime.
Same here. I just use battery status. Newest update is great with percentage all the time and notification dropdown always shows full info. But it is annoying. I wish the standard battery bar from samsung would port the percentage into it too. It seriously couldn't be that difficult...

what i mean is, i'll see the battery logo up on the status bar at 75% (3/4 bar) and think that i have ~75% amount of battery usage left.
i'll then check the battery numbers in the settings and my battery is at ~40% lol.
well i'm running a jm5 stock rom, rooted. anyone having that issue?
i'll try to run the battery low till it offs and monitor the values again.
Jup, I also noticed this, but no biggie, I think this is Android standard.
Definitely NOT defective IMHO.
If you feel frustrated by this use this little app: Battery Indicator
ye i'm using that, i was just wondering which numbers are at fault there. lol. oh well. such paradox in my status bar. thanks for the quick reply.

The way I believe it works, and I might have the percentages slightly wrong is, especially the way they get rounded:
Actual/Graph
>79%/100%
50-79%/75%
25-49%/50%
>25%/25%
So, yes, you are always getting a readout that isn't very telling and is a step-gradual reading. The time you have the most information is right around, if/when you see a change. Other than that it can be barely more telling than a sundial .
Wrong info is in the notification bar (graphic battery). I've noticed the change upgrading to JM5 from JG5. Downgrading back to JG5 reverses the situation, which means the change is in framework-res.apk.
It is a change Samsung obviously did on purpose, but I wouldn't know why they settled for the worse...

well imma try flashing to jpjg8 after my songs are done transferring. gonna check that firmware out...
Okay. Flashed my phone using the Reg hack. It's working almost flawless. The bug i have is with the Battery indicator. It's 20% in front of real battery percent! In sometimes i freezes. Right now it's really bugging me! I've tried to do factory wipe 3 times(not working). And i tried to take the battery after draining it to zero. But nothing seems to work All that have something to do with my battery seems to be all drunk. Lol. My battery state and the f...... Indicator! Someone have the same issue? And someone have a solution?
Cheers..

I have the same problem.
The indicator always show more than what batterypercent really is.
I updated using Kies when Froyo was available in norway.
Edit: added screenshot
(its norwegian but im sure you dont need any translation)
I had this problem in 2.1 . Get a bat stat from the market. No biggy

I had the problem in 2.1 as well... I think it has to do with the touchwiz battery indicator only changing every 15% or so...
I've installed 'Gauge Battery Widget' from the market. It shows up in the status bar as well.
Maybe every 25%.
Mine is 80% now and indicator still shows max

Yep, this has been my experience as well. I think the battery notification icon only has 4 or 5 stages so will show full even if you're at 85%. I replaced the touchwiz with one of the SpitFire battery mods and now my notification bar battery matches the system percentage exactly as it has 100 stages.
here too, .. 98% after 5 hours of use and still showing as beeing full =/ (jpk)
(holy smokes, .. thse last couple of days my battery is uberly-strong!!)
What about some search ??

I have done the developer options battery percentage, and dislike it displayed within the battery icon itself. When the battery is a very high percentage and a very low percentage, the numbers are contrast-smart and displayed in the opposite color of the rest of the battery icon. Great and fine when you're above 90% and below like 15%. What about the rest of the middle percentages? They're nigh unreadable unless you really look closely - something counter-intuitive to having a percentage number on there.
Is there a way to make it display the percentage NEXT to the battery icon, the way it displays it in the drop down menu?
For the life of me I don't know why Google doesn't have the option to just have the number show up there. That **** is easy
