Im new to using android so I'm not sure on the best apps and I need a battery apparently that atleast shows numbers.
Try looking for "battery snap" in the market...its free and comes with a widget, along with some really good graphs that show how your phone is handling your battery discharge

Please, how can I Check desire battery temperature?

Sorry, but why?

Many apps can show it. *#*#info#*#* in your dailer can show it. Maybe even phone info in settings can show it.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Pretty sure you can get to it in spare parts.
I use BatteryLife. If you go into settings and check the two boxes, the temp will appear on the widget. One thing i've noticed since upgrading to 2.2, the battery temp doesn't go as high.
Thanks, but, i can't get it, can i have procedure to show the temp?
ok, simply, just download this app from the market SystemPanel Lite. then open it, press the menu button, then press on moniter and scroll down.
there! it is done!
Hope this helps!
Press phone (dailer). Try to call *#*#4636#*#*. Press Battery Information. Done. No apps, no widgets, no tricks.

Hey guys, new to the forum and stuff so take it easy on me. Just wondering, I'm running android from my SD card in a hd2, will that make my battery run down faster?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
In short-yes it will.
In long-power management under Android is not as advanced as WinMo, so your battery will last 7-8 hours on a charge with moderate use...even less with data or Wi-Fi or the like.
So it is the android os and not the fact that I'm running an open file from the SD?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Running it from the SD card makes no difference as far as power is concerned, as it's just flash memory, and really no different from the internal NAND of the HD2. Android devices historically have pretty bad battery life, because the underlying Linux kernel isn't really all that optomized for mobile devices..though that is all set to change with a future update in the Froyo code.
In my battery usage it says that the display is using most of the battery, I've adjusted settings and still no better. Is there a way to fix that or will that be part of the froyo update as well?

kind of wondering the same thing..
No reply from the mod so I guess I will do more research and wait till the froyo update. I may look at some other builds as well to see if there is anything better than what I'm running.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Sorry, been busy. The Froyo update I am speeking of, is some kinda of future code change directly from Google...and God knows when it will be sent downstream. Power management saying that your display is using the most power is usually correct, because well, the display is huge and uses quite a but of power. There really is nothing that you can do to make it use any less power. Android on the HD2 consumes alot of power, as do regular Android devices...and there really isn't much you can do about it.
Thanks for the reply. I wasn't mad at ya or anything. Is there a link or something to keep with the froyo updates? All I know is the site where I got this build. I am using the darkstone froyohd2v3 and really happy with it, except the battery usage of course. I'm sure there are other builds, are there any u think are better than froyo?

I'm using mdeejay revolution 1.5 and I can go about 1 - 1.5 days on a charge.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Wow! A day and a half on the battery. That's really good. Is that with little to no usage or are u able to use it a bit and still have decent life? Where can I go to check that out?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Is there an application that shows current power usage in mA (and how many mAh left) in notification area?
I'm not looking for widget or status bar % icon.
Try an app called "where's my Droid power"
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
No, this app is just a little better version of Battery Usage from standard Android. This is not what I'm looking for.
You can try "Battery Droid" widget from the market but you must click the widget to obtain information
I KNOW.
Battery Monitor Widget! by 3c something.
Buy it. It's the best battery app ever very frequent updates !

Yeah, I'm using it now but I was hoping for something that wouldn't take precious space on my home screen.

Okay so I am now using cyanogenmod stable with the Decafuct Kernel and the decafuct battery mod. Also I am using autokiller and juice defender but I'm not seeing the results everyone is talking about..... am I doing something wrong or are there better mods I need to try?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
You'll also need to adjust update frequency on various apps and turn your mobile data off on occation.
But does juice defender not toggle those options automatically?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Also I ran linpack and my mflops are still at 3.74, shouldn't they be alot more?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I've used the same minus autokiller and juice defender and have seen huge improvements. Have you wiped the battery? Look around for the how-to.
Also, if you run a lot of widgets you may not see the improvements.
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA App
I'm gonna delete juice defender and autokill and see it that helps, I don't run too many widgets, just fancy widget, Calender, and winamp.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Well deleted the two apps and battery life was frigging horrible, dropped nearly 40% in just 2 hours without really even using the phone
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Sounds like you have something constantly syncing or checking for updates. Check your accounts and sync menu and turn off those things you don't need constant updates on

Hold in home button and recent apps menu pops up. Swipe to clear apps and enjoy the extra battery life

Though it still applies here...and it's incorrect.
Killing applications, just like every other Android version, does not affect battery life.
Doesn't that only clear the apps from the recent app list? I know that not every app listed is currently running, because it lists apps that I have confirmed to be closed... (long-press back to kill FTW)

I think people confuse cached apps for running services.

It has dropped the battery consumption for android os from 75% to 13%. I dont know how or why but since i found this my battery life has been exponentially better.

Well, anything is possible...
I thought that list was just a bunch of shortcuts to recent apps (not a cache of the actual app data), but if it is linked to the cache, then clearing it out would mean less cache data to juggle - I just didn't think that the difference would be that significant (maybe there is a bug in the memory management that causes innefficient processing... or, maybe the stock ICS ram requirement is compensated for by a lot more cache activity, which would also increase battery drain...)
But if it makes that much of a difference, then I'd like to learn more about how it actually works - if it is linked to the cache, then manual clearing might be the only reasonable method, but if it is just shortcuts, then disabling it shouldn't break anything else, and might save even more battery... this could be my ticket back to CM9 as a reasonable daily driver (without having to buy a new battery, lol)...
This has my thoughts going in several directions at once, so I'll leave this post on that incomplete thought before I end up writing a novel of half-baked ramblings

Download Better Battery Stats and check for wake locks.
Sounds like you have a rouge app.
