[Q] Battery icon in notification bar - Vibrant General

I dont know if I'm alone on this but my battery icon does not seem to show the correct battery life left. For example, going to settings - about phone - status, it shows that the battery percentage left is 25%. Looking at the notification bar, it looks like theres 50% life left. Once it gets to <15% it starts to look accurate. Also it shows a full battery until it gets to about 75-80% left.

The text is a battery widget.
Is there anything I can do to fix it?

This is well aware of: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756441 <-- workaround for the battery.

I just run an app called "Battery Indicator" . It puts a small icon on the notification bar with the actual battery percentage remaining.
They did choose some goofy trigger points for the default battery indicator.

I meant the text battery widget in the OP's screenshot

^ right, I wasn't talking about that though...

Battery Percentage in Froyo 2.2

Hi,
in Froyo 2.1 there was battery percentage shown in taskbar (in top of screen). Now I tried nearly every App to get it in Froyo 2.2 ...but it just was not the same. So how can I get battery percentage shown in the battery-symbol in taskbar for free?
Regards,
Sandro
You need to install battery indicator from the market,it's free,and will do the job

Settings-->CyanogenMod settings-->User Interface-->Status Bar-->Battery percentage
You may have to reboot for the setting to be applied, but I usually don't need to.
battery indicator has a bug that actually drains battery more

Can you explain what kind of bug does battery indicator has, as I am currently using it (version 3.0)
Battery indicator, not exactly what I was looking for, because it adds an additional battery icon, but good enough.
Thank you

If you have a Cyanogen build like Shubcraft you can have the percentage placed inside the standard battery indicator on the status bar.
Go to Settings, CyanogenMod settings, User Interface, Status Bar, check Battery percentage. You might have to shut down and reboot.

Red Status Bar Battery Icon?

Hey all, I'm having a bit of a problem finding something I thought would be really easy to find

See how in the screen shot in the top left side of my status bar there is a red battery icon? I need an app that does just that. It needs to display a RED battery icon (that isn't really tiny) and preferably looks very close to those one or gives me some kind of variety
I've been looking for something like this, a simple red batter notification icon, for about a month with only the one result that I'm using now. What I'm using now is called "Simple Battery Widget" the problem with it is every 5-20 minutes it pops up with a "Simple Battery has crash blah blah" which is really annoying then it stops showing the correct battery level... So I'm getting tired of it that's why I'm asking you guys if you know of an app that will get me what I want...
Alternately, if there is a way to get red text up there I'd like that much more

I think my battery is fake. I need a bit of Help from you guys

Okay, this is a new battery that I got after my original battery was swollen.
I think this battery is fake due to many reasons. Sometimes it automatically charge itself and battery percentage increases to 5-10%.
It lasts very less and etc etc.
When I type *#0228# on dialpad I get this:

Here's mine, it looks different.
Mine looks like the fake one as well
Try NFC. This feature doesn't work on many fakes.

It's the vibrate icon. Whatever skin or theme you are using changed it from the vibrating phone icon.

I think I found the solution for it. Go to developer option/Quick Setting Developer Tiles and there you'll see that icon along with other. Turn on the icon and it'll be in your button screen along with wifi and etc. Turn it off there. Provlem solve

What build number are you on?
Are you having any issues with battery life? (Random jumps in percentage, decreasing battery life, etc.)

That's really odd. Are the odd parts where you were expecting it to charge? If so, something might be wrong with the charger, or it might have had a bad connection. It looks like it kept jumping all over the place. Either that or something bugged out. Other than that, I have no idea.

Yeah i expected it to charge... Haven't had problems with the charger before.
Guess I'll just try a different charger and get it to 100% hopefully that will clear out the history and I'll go from there.
