Battery Percentage in Froyo 2.2 - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

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.

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.

I have the verizon xv6800 and the battery status only show 3 bars when the charge is full. is there a way to make it show four, so when the battery life decreases it show me a more accurate amount of battery left?

I don't know how to fix that, but personally I use Batti (http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-batti-v2-1.html) to monitor my battery. It's a small (3pixels by default) gradient bar on the top of your screen which indicates battery strength. When clicked it brings up a dialog to show you the actual percentage of battery remaining. Hope this helps

SPB Pocket Plus has a great battery status indicator that appears at the top of the screen, its definitely worth a mention.
It appears as a small bar across the top of the display. Either solid color gradiant from green to red, or into many bars.

[Q] Battery icon in notification bar

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.

Red Status Bar Battery Icon?

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

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

Haven't noticed issues with battery life just this is behavior and last night it didn't charge.

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.

"Unaccounted" process draining battery

Hi everybody.
It's more than a month that I'm experiencing a battery drain coming from an "unaccounted" source (reported from the app System Panel 2). I haven't put on charge the phone last night, and this is the result (see attachment and link). Any idea about what is draining and/or how to solve it?
Thanks in advantage!

Ok, quite weird for a screen for having this much drain, are you on Oreo, there is a problem with undue battery drain, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/samsung-s8-oreo-battery-drains-fast-t3772609 try keeping the brightness down and reduce the resolution. Good Luck, EDIT: It might be your android system, after checking my phone the android system and screen take most battery.
How long does your phone last on a full charge?

Hi did anyone find out what the unaccounted accounts to. Still showing the same in 2021
