I have a little icon of a battery that shows percent of remaining charge left on my Evo top bar & wondered if it was available for the A500 Looked in the market, found it . Sits unobtrusively in the bottom bar. Try it you'll like it ! It's the name of the post, first one in Market.
Good tip
I missed that as well. Thanks for the tip. Will try it out.

Another question...
I did a hard reset Fri to clean up the device and just install the stuff that I was happy with. But now I'm missing the battery status bar that runs along the very top of the screen...
Was it a built-in, out of the box function or is it native to a 3rd party launcher app? I *did* have WisBar installed for a quick minute, but I uninstalled it and still had the statusbar...
Using the same themes I was using before...can't find any options that I havent checked. It's not VITAL, but it was a nice touch and I miss it.
It was probably a reminant of wisbar. I have wisbar lite and it has the battery status "line" at the top.

Wisbar lite has an inbuilt thin line battery meter. But batti which is free does the same job - see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48007&sid=3de75058a939a46fcd5ab8720882a2f6
THANK YOU!!!
it was driving me nuts not knowing why it disappeared...lol.
I do like it...It should be part of the orignal set up...the battery icon at teh bottom is too small...
Thanks again!
Whoohoo! Just installed it - very nice! (I'm a bit more excited about this than I should be..lol)
Battery Meter Indicator Line...
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there a battery meter indicator line at the very top of every application? I see it on my C8125. It goes across the very top from left to right. It also pulses from current power to max when the phone is charging.
I could be wrong that this is WM5 native and not one of my programs: SPB Weather, Diary....
Thx for the info anyway!

It's not native to WM5. ou probably also have SPB Pocket Plus? That comes with a battery indicator also.

Actually just checked and I only have SPB Weather installed. That's probably the culprit though. Definitely better than an extra icon on the menu bar.

I loaded a trial version of Battery Pro to my 8525. When I removed the program, it looks like the Title bar has shifted to the right of the screen. The entiretime, and part of the Network information is no longer showing on the title bar even though I checked the have time show box. Has anyone seen this issue? Also, does anyone know of a good freeware Battery Bar type program that shows Battery Power, Memory, etc. Thanks.
im looking for a widget that shows me the battery with % level
or an app that integrates into the top status bar and puts a %level next to or in the battery icon.
suggestions?
TIA

Look on the Market.. one I use is called: My Battery Status
i use battery status donate
I will go with the choice of the above.
"My Battery Status" has EXACTLY what you are looking for.
i found one i liked that goes on the desktop.
is there one that shows a % in the status bar?
Is there a way to get a percentage number along with the battery icon?
There is a free widget available in the market which does exactly what u assked for.
Just search for "battery percentage"
Sorry, I wasn't clear, I want it up where the current battery icon is, not a widget.
I use battery indicator, it's free from the market and though it doen't show the percentage on top of the battery icon, it shows it to the left of the notification bar so it's always there no matter in what screen you are and occupies no desktop space.
Also, it shows some very useful, very well integrated info in the notification area when you pull it down including how long it's been unplugged, bettery health, temp and voltage.
In case it was any concern, it hasn't affected my battery life at all (i can still get about 3 days on mid-light use)
Hope u like it!!
Use the battery monitor already built in that goes into the notification bar.
Then bring the bar down and the percentage is there.
i've been trying out quite a bunch of modded roms for the past week, and I think I came accross one which indeed had percentage written in the small green battery icon at the top-right corner next to the time. Maybe try out the r1 cyanogen port from modaco.
Most modded roms use some kind of ugly donut icon, which isn't more precise than the stock battery looking icon.
However, i'm not actually sure if having percentage written in the icon changes much : i suppose there must be an equal number of pictures, whatever battery indicator design you choose.

How do I do this exactly?

Yep, I tried but could not see the percentage..?
I searched and didn't find anything about this. I've noticed the battery icon in the notification bar is pretty inaccurate, is there a way to have the actual percent displayed over it? Like in CM.
I'd post a pic, but the forum won't let me cause I'm a noob...
Pretty sure the stock battery icon can't be modified/removed. However BatteryIndicator will show another battery icon in the top left corner with the percentage remaining inside of it.
+1 for this

If by inaccurate you mean it shows 50% left on the indicator and less than 25% actual left, then you sir are correct.
I like battery status by Android Apps myself.
