Hello developers,
I just came with an idea for the 1% battery display, it is developing an application which calculates 1% battery and displays the values in realtime based on the values read from the battery voltage. So, we will have accurate values being displayed without considering that system battery information display(may be toggling it off). What you people say?
Battery Monitor Widget...does the same

Well, that is what exactly we do in the kernel

No, it shows the battery percentage like system. I'm trying to show battery percentage through calculating based on battery voltage.

If we do that in kernel its a hardcode and difficult but I'm trying to do in softcode like just reading the battery voltage from an application and showing the percentage values.

Lets say if you have voltage reading of 3650 then what would be the battery % if its calculated based on the current battery voltage? and compare it with the system battery %, you do see the battery difference.
Well nice idea but as dharam said it's already done in the kernel and also from what I noticed the voltage doesn't remain constant
And if you do it you'll make a widget/status bar indicator then what about the stock status bar indicator?

The status bar has to be changed to normal indicator instead of battery % and using this application to see its 1% battery info.
I know voltage doesn't remain constant but we do get the somewhat accurate values than from the kernel we had now.
I know we have it kernel but we dont have 1% battery working successfully if battery goes below 50%. I see a battery steps of 50-42-37-34-25....15-5-3-1.
So, I'm just trying to make batter for this ranges using current battery voltage.

I don't think you can read the battery status from any app, even with using native code. The system sends a broadcast message every time the battery status is changed, you can only use these messages, you can not read directly the hardware.
Too late man, I already asked about that here. There is an app called battery monitor pro, but it's a paid app. He implemented the feature of setting the up-down limits after my suggestion. The free edition doesn't have the manual set and the preset of 3200mV(low limit) is not correct for our phones. Our device works within 3500mV-4150mV

so in your opinion finixover battery doesn't affect battery consuption much more than leaving standard battery display?

Anyone has the problem where the battery indicator is not accurate? I'm using QM's digital battery indicator and the percentage doesn't seem to change after a while.
I have to do a soft reset for it to be updated. And it will stay updated for a while before it "hangs" again.
Anyone knows how to deal with this?
Thanks!
I have the same problem. There is some mysterys with bettery percentage indications. Sometimes it's stay at on place for a hours and in other cases could run every minute down. What could be a reason for this? Maybe it's problem with battery?
Can't confirm this with my device. The default indication works just fine. Tried also Batti for a few days and no problems occured, progress bar showed correct information and even the temperature info seemed to be perfectely believable... I don't know what the QM's digital battery is but looks like the problem might be in that program...
2ArMikael: Probably nothing new for you, but just for sure - consumption hugely deppends on actual ussage, biggest drainers are GPS and Wi-Fi each of these can completely drain your battery within few (~4?) hours. Also check for processes with permanent CPU ussage on background etc.
2Dair, you right, that's not new for me. I'm not so stupid.
That's the catch that the battery going down even with turned of wireless protocols, GPS and programms at all.
But maybe it's a problem of a new battery. Last few days, after a full discharge of battery this problem disaperead. Battery percentage showings seems like a normal.
So guys, if you have a new phone don't forget to do a full dischage and recharge before you take it hard.
I've stopped running QM, however, it seems frozen still. Do you think I might need to uninstall it, or even do a hard reset?
Ethermind has created a new batterydriver for Xperia which also seems to be working really nicely on other devices.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513480
It shows, with the right icons, the exact percentage of your battery in steps of 1%.

I've tested it with gtrab's SEX1 1% increments Battery ENHANCER
with Windows Mobile 6.5 taskbar icons and it works just dandy!!!!
All the credits go to Ethermind for creating the driver!!! Many thnx
And if you use gtrab's wm6.5 taskbar icons with the driver don't forget to thank gtrab!
Are there any taskbar modifications that display signal strength in dbm instead of bars?
I live in an area pretty close to the threshold of no service, rarely above 2 "bars". Displaying the actual dbm of the received signal would be more helpful to me. Currently, I find myself running FieldTrial quite often.
Thanks,
Chris

Try out a program called BattClock. It can display TONS of various specs and readings of phone parameters on your task bar. And all in either digit/numeric form, or as a meter bar. The "RegKey1" programmed into the app is dedicated to the phone signal strength. I have it running on my phone as a bar, and also briefly ran is as a numeric % read out as well. Hope this helps out to what you're looking for. BattClock app thread.
Thanks for the BattClock suggestion. When attempting to display RegKey1 (Set to "Signal Strength Raw" it displays "6®". I'll continue to work through the settings, but this may not be able to display dbm yet.

This is indeed a percentage.
Here is an article which describes the relation between % and dbm, although this one is for Wifi.
But the percentage is a good indication of the signal strength....

I didn't realize that number actually represented percentage (and presumably the symbol represents "%"). I'll be going into a high service area today, so I'll watch how this behaves.
Thank you for the article. Although I would still prefer to see actual dbm, this provides me with a working solution.

You can change the symbol behind the percentage. I did make it something else to see the difference when you show more BattClock items. You can change it in BattConfig -> Display Formats -> Reg Key 1

I changed the display format to %d%% and it shows signal percentage now. The problem is, it only indicates in large increments corresponding with how many bars the phone displays. Specifically:
Bars Signal
x 0%
0 6%
1 18%
2 34%
3 66%
4 94%
Is there a registry edit that changes the increment like you can do with the battery?
Thanks - Chris
I am getting about 3 - 4 days of average usage out of a 100 % charge, running MIUI 1.8.19. I will continue to update this thread with confirmed findings of MIUI users posted here. Other than that, happy flashing!
People experiencing battery drain issues please post the following:
Your running kernel ([email protected] if you didn't flash anything on top)
CPU spy screenshot of a drain (from 100 % to like 20%, you can get CPU spy from market)
Screenshot of stats from the battery monitor in settings
Did you perform a battery recalibration after flash? (Charging the phone to 100 % in off mode, then boot)
My recommendations on increasing battery life:
Keep data on off whenever you don't use it. WiFi does not seem to have battery drain issues, use that instead if you are at home.
Disable albumart and lyrics download in music player, when you dont use it.
The media server can go crazy on battery drain - Even if you don't listen that much to music.
Use another launcher than the standard one. Sometimes in rare occations (happened for me twice though) the launcher keeps the phone out of deep sleep. I have had good results with Go Launcher.

Easy Alternative,
Download Battery Calibration from the market (Free) and install
Do a continuous charge the phone from AC charger recommended instead PC USB to 100% while its on
Follow instruction of the application and rate it well before uninstalling (the app creator made our life easy for free)
Battery Calibration

You are in the wrong forum, this is the SGSII forum.
But to help you anyway: Using 2G instead of 3G helps alot on the SGS1.

It's always at or near the top of my wakelocks.

Its really annoying
In the code on the following page 13800000.dexon_fb is mentioned 75 times. Does any body know what the code is for? Maybe it will tell some info regarding this wakelock

hi ,
Long shot...... "Facebook " app ?
.I have read ( quite a few threads in past) that Facebook app, can cause wakelocks and battery drain etc etc .
But then again i stated.."long shot "
good luck
I uninstalled Facebook completely, however the wakelock is still there. As seen from the code that I referred to above, it is not connect with 3rd parts apps. It looks like that it is connected with Samsung staff. Can anyone tell what that code is for?
Just ignore it.
It's a wakelock that is taken when you turn your screen on. The count is how many times you turned your screen on and the time is your screen on duration. It has zero effect on battery consumption.

Thanks AndreiLux. I have my doubt about this wakelock 13800000.decon_fb as well. After a few googlings, it brought me here and I have the answer.
T
Facebook AppManager wakelock faulty
I just googled 13930000.decon.fb on Note5 abnormal wakelock and came here, now I know it's equal to SOT (thx to AndreiLux) but for those about to complain about abnormal battery drain :
Facebook consumes battery heavily, "and specially" when it is installed as system App with com.facebook.appmanager beside of it.
Uninstall/freeze com.facebook.appmanager or debloat Facebook totally, reboot and install it again from any market (Google Play is preferred).
It will still be draining but way much better than before
I don't think it has anything to do with screen... i get 1 hour and 30 minutes kernel wake with this on a 5 hours standby time during the night... and FB in hibernation mode by Greenify module. for now it's a mystery to me but just to satisfy my curiosity I'll see what can be done.
