I've been looking for a battery widget to tell me my remaining charge state as a percentage, but so far all of them go in increments of 10% (i.e. 90% left, to 80%, to 70%, etc). Does anyone know of one that breaks it down a little more finely?

New Incredible user just looking for some feedback, my battery stats are the following:
Uptime: 12:06
Awake time: 2:58
Battery use:
-Android system: 34%
-Cell standby 29%
-Phone Idle 22%
-Display 8%
-Voice calls 4%
-Maps 3%
I've been reading all other posts and their android system is significantly lower is there something draining my battery?
Are battery apps accurate because I get diff readings from the phone then the app. Also does the battery app waste battery life when checking it frequently.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe battery status is horrible. Why does it look like it's at 50% when at 30%? I downloaded an app that puts the percentage in the status bar, but it's at the top left in notifications. Is there an app that replaces the current icon with one with a percentage or, at least, is more accurate? I doubt there is. I didn't find anything on Marketplace or through search.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get my current location and show it on a map. Class com.google.android.maps.MyLocationOverlay.MyLocationOverlay does most of the work for you. But it's coming back with a very coarse result that's off by a couple of clicks. I'm listening for onAccuracyChanged() but that never gets called.
How can I get a more accurate location, when using MyLocationOverlay ?
PS. manifest has
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name"
android:debuggable="true">
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

I'm writing my first location based android app, but got confused about some of the GPS service api. Here are some questions I have:
1) To get my current location, I called requestLocationUpdates() with a listener in the onCreate() method of one activity. But what happens when another activity starts and the current activity goes invisible? Is the GPS location update going to stop? If so, how do I keep it on after the activity is switched?
2) how accurate is the Location.getSpeed()? How is it computed? Can it tell the difference between on bicycle and on foot?
3) not really a question about android. How to calculate the coordinates of a location, say, 100m away from my current location?
4) To stop the GPS, I only need to remove all the listeners that have been registered to locationmanager?
I recently posted this question on stackoverflow (http://tinyurl.com/ yzrofne), but maybe someone here can help me. I am using the location manager's requestLocationUpdates() method to receive an intent to my broadcast receiver periodically. The system is correctly firing the intent to my broadcast receiver, and I have been able to use it correctly. The only problem is that the GPS location provider only stays active for a few seconds after the initial location acquisition, and I need it to stay on a little longer so that the location estimates are more accurate. For example, if I tell the location manager that I want an update every 5 minutes, it correctly fires the intent with location information from the GPS. However, the GPS only stays active for about 5 seconds, so it doesn't give much time for the location to reach a high accuracy (say, less than 10-20 meters). My question is how to make the GPS location provider stay active for each periodic request that comes from the LocationManager requestLocationUpdates. Does anyone know how to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI hope this is the right section to post this, I have an HTC / G2 on a T-Mobile UK contract. I'm after a good weather forecast app that works well for the UK and Europe. I also use WeatherPro on my iPOD Touch (when I can link up to my home WiFi) and it is great - it picks up small towns, gives 5 day forecasts, 24 hour forecasts broken down into 3 hour time slots, shows satellite and radar, temperatures in 'F and 'C, windspeed and direction. It is very accurate too! I can't find it on the Android Market though.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to build compass for my application.
From reading the documentation it seems there are two reasonable ways of doing this:
Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION method: This is the easy way of doing it. The problem with this is it is not accurate. When I compare my reading with Snaptic Compass it is about 10-15 degress off which for my purposes is unacceptable.
Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER, Sensor.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD and getRotationMatrix() in conjunction with remapCoordinateSystem() and getOrientation() method: The documentation says this "is usually more accurate". The problem is regardless of the delay I register with listener the compass goes crazy even when the device is stationary on flat surface.
Is anyone who is using 3G Watchdog or NetCounter actually receiving accurate stats compared to what Orange are showing on their OrangeWorld "Your Account" section?
I have been using my new HTC Hero for just over 2 weeks now and Orange are saying that I have used 422MB of data. This seems ridiculous to me as I only automatically check email once per hour, surf to the extent of anyone with such a new gadget, and spend every evening at home connected to WiFi from about 6pm onwards.
I phoned Orange one day last week and they advised that I had used 310MB up to that point, so I immediately downloaded 3G Watchdog and started it running. Since then, it says that I have used 36MB in the same period that Orange say I have used 112MB.
I also use NetCounter, but as I didn't reset it last week, I can't make any specific comparisons. However, on a daily basis it always agrees with 3G Watchdog to within a few KB.
I know I will need to phone Orange to sort this out, and I am certain that they will tell me that downloaded data counter apps cannot be trusted. I'm not sure how I can prove to them that their data readings for me are wrong.
Many times when I look at different weather apps, the current temp is always either the low or the high. Never seen this on a news or weather channel.

I need this to be accurate for some display code I'm writing. I realize the documentation says that this is the case, but I need to know if individual handsets get this right MOST OF THE TIME. I know I can alternately use "density" which will give me 120, 160, 240 steps of DPI, but an exact dpi would be much better.

The Swype is by far less accurate then the Android keyboard mic. Even if you have cuss words programed into your Swype; when you say cuss words it will show as #### if even at all. All in all I suppose 2 might not be the biggest deal in the world, but 1 is a huge deal.

View 8 Replies View RelatedThis is my 3rd HTC but first Android (Had a Blackberry Curve too). Like Hero a lot but the onscreen keyboard is driving me batty! First off, it doesn't work well if my fingers are cold. And second off, it does not seem to be accurate, especially on the far right hand side. Also, I swear my fingers are quite small and even if I press a letter smack dab in the middle, I get the letter above. And don't get me started on the backspace key.
I really really like my Hero. But I need a different onscreen keyboard. Can anybody make any suggestions? I can't do any programming, etc. so it will have to be a pretty much straight download.
How accurate is the gps on droid running 2.1? I'm going on a trip for a interview in a week.
