Maybe its a widget or maybe its a part of someones ROM, but the clean look home screens that show a time in words is what I am looking for, and the battery percentage as well that shows the battery percentage in words, no graphics.

this one also very good but wmminibattery gives you more details when you touch battery bar.cheers.
I personaly prefer xmatrix_batteryMemoryMeter this is very good for quick info about main battery and memory status...
Well, if my understanding's correct, VistaHide Battery Gauge's the bare minimum, with just the battery indicator, while xmatrix_BatteryMemoryMeter (dciBatery) has an additional bar for program memory. wmminibattery is similar to VistaHide Battery Gauge, but tapping the bar will show more information about the battery status. Based on this, I'd go for wmminibattery.
want more bars
Looking for something like this with more bars. More than dci battery and qwerty memory. Is it possible to have 4 bars? 2 above and below the task bar like dci... and 2 above and below the softkey bar? Want each to show something different like all the choices battclock gives you. battery charge, temp, voltage, memory, cpu. Is there anything like this? Can anyone develop anything like this?
I am at "1d 3h 26m 36s since unplugged" and sitting at 73% battery, which is probably better than I have ever seen.. the 2 changes I made were
a) removing Home++ so I could try ADWLauncher (this was just for kicks)
b) as a consequence of removing Home++, my home screen widgets were removed, and I chose not to re-add most.
This made me wonder about widgets... ie I realized that I never see any widgets listed when I look at the battery consumption stats??
I was wondering if maybe widgets were "absorbed" into the Phone Idle or Cell Standby stats? (ie. they were run too close to the OS to be separated out by the battery use routine?)
EDIT: all of my searches kept returning widgets that reported battery status, instead of the info described above
It makes sense that when something is constantly updating itself it is constantly using battery, no?

Did you even bother to read what he was asking? Did you even read the TITLE?
He's asking if it gets reported, recorded, if he can somehow look up how much battery they are using. He never once suggests anything close to asking if they use battery. Actually, he clearly points out that they DO and he wants to be able to see how much.
As for OP, don't know. What are you using to see battery history? In Spare Parts I see nothing like this, and I would assume that they use quite a lot, also depending on how often you have them set to update, etc.

I read it and to me it sounded like he was wondering if they used more battery. So, I DID read it, just misunderstood.
In my tiny brain, it sounded like he was wondering if it had been reported that widgets use more battery.
I made a mistake, it is perfectly acceptable to do so. Part of life is making said mistakes and learning from them.
And before anyone says something, I do indeed have a tiny brain, around the size of a raisin.
Anyways, back on topic. If they are kept anywhere I would be willing to bet they are grouped with "Cell Standby".

That's as far as my small brain got as well. Alas,(if that is the case) that would make it tough to ferret out the "expensive" (in terms of battery usage) widgets
Well, you can kinda at least group by simple logic. Which ones use most memory? Which ones update most often? You won't get numbers, but you'll at least be able to weed out that one widget that takes 6 battery every 30 minutes.

As the poster above me said, group it by logic. Things like Twicca's widget will use the least amount of power (However, Twicca won't) because all it does is launch different parts of the app. Then there are things like Beautiful Widgets which check the weather at a set amount of time. Using this example (and if these are the only widgets on your home screen), we would want to remove Beautiful Widgets to save battery before we remove the Twicca Widget.
Likewise, if we want to save battery we can have these widgets update less often.
can someone please tell me what the little green circular thing next to the time on the status bar is, and what it does? I would have posted it on the Dev. thread but some guy bit my head off for asking a question there once.

Guess you don't use the search button. It's a battery icon replacement for more accuracy.

I thought that was the obvious answer, but as I write, it shows 100% in the circle, but 91% in real life (in settings and Battery Minder). Thanks.
its cuase the stock battery icon doesnt show the real battery %.
If you search the Vibrant forum there are mods for this, with different kind of icons
Can someone recomend a good moniter for the battery. My battery seems to die really fast the past couple days and the stock battery screen doesn't seem to be very different than when I first got it.
I'm looking for something that showss me stats, not something that tries to conserve power automatically.

There's an app in the desire forum, circle battery mod for non-root users (it shows up on the left portion of your status bar) It works well if all you want is a true number reading.
If you want statistics for what's killing your battery, the Spare Parts app has the best output I've seen.
Battstatt is very nice. There's a free version, and a paid version.
A less convenient, definitely free method: Dial *#*#4636#*#*. This will bring up the Testing screen. From there you can go under Battery information and see a bunch of information about... the battery! Including percentage, time since boot, temperature, ...
Battery Indicator free is in the market and doesnt use any battery while running. Everything else I tried used a little battery up. I use the circular battery version that smoothtaste is talking about and its awesome. It is based off of battery indicator but cant be found on the market anymore. I have the APK but not sure if I can upload it even though its freeware. If its allowed I can get your a copy of it.
Edit: Here you go
You can download juice plotter and it graphs battery drainage over time.
I went from battery indicator pro to battery notif. Smaller size and same icon in notification bar but doesn't give much in the way of stats.
Plus I can see the battery level without unlocking the phone.

I also use that, it doesn't seem to hurt my battery any. The free version is ok, but I opted for the paid version and haven't been disappointed.

Is it possible to get the battery steps in 1% steps instead of 10%?
Would be nice.
Search is your friend. But since I hate people who just say that, I will add:
Circle battery widget does.
I also think someone is working on a mod to change the default display, not sure if they have finished/were successful.
I think DG said it was a hardware issue not software so booooo.

also a happy circle battery widget user, couldn't stand it in just 10%
I am working on an app that uses same method as circle battery widget. It will place the battery % in the notification bar similar to battery minder esk apps. It will NOT replace the stock one. Tho it is possible sooner or later.
I hope to have a beta out later today.
Sounds great!
A small icon in the status bar is much better than a big widget on the homescreen!
here u go, try this http://www.mediafire.com/?bx7w8kuhlfc8v7a
shouldnt have to many bugs lol, let me know what u think.
The time left in the drop down is still all jacked. I have shutdown time:-9:-50AM, hours left:-27.81 5:18PM
*I had a super Beta Beta version installed previously and i clean install followed by a reboot cleared this oddity out

I just installed it and it's working great, but as a future update do you think you can remove the small icon above the battery % number and enlarge the actual number so it is easier to read? Basically, make the % number fill up the status bar vertically. Let me know!
Damn u pauly lol, vinay, yes that is planed. I just did this as it was the easiest
Method to go with. A better method is planed.

I gave it some time. And rebooted. Seems to be doing much better now. Ill give it a day and report back.
*EDIT I ran my battery down to 2% and has a shutdown time 30 minutes earlier that the actual time. it was back to reporting -.29 hours. up to that point is was fairly accurate. it did adjust itself well the more i used it. Which is to be expected.
That is one reason am not too fond with "predictive life" it changes with stress. i can run it hard for an hour and show 2 hours left. then let it set for an hour and it shows 4 hours. so i pick it up and use it hard and it dies in an hour.

Do we have some screen shots of this in action? Thanks in advance, from the other thread too, hah
It works but it doesn't look nice and the entry in the notification bar isn't necessary in my eyes but maybe you can change that soon
Thanks!
any update on this app? is it possible to replace the stock battery icon?
