Has anyone released a more accurate Battery App? I've been using Battery Status, but I'm now bored as to how it looks. Anyone wanna recommend a good one with a nice interface?
Also, what widgets have you guys downloaded and are using?

Or something like making contact shortcut to the home screen.
There is Person widget by HTC, but it is awful (the photo is too small).
I'm looking for a widget that will pop up a window with my favorite contacts and allow me to dial them. Then the popup window will disappear. Is there any such thing?

View 7 Replies View RelatedIn 1.5, there was a htc widget that you can put on your home screen and add your favorite contacts to it, and it allows you to choose the action of calling or texting when you tap on their pictures.
I couldn't find this widget anywhere in 2.1. Also, is there any app/widget that is similar to the one im talking about from 1.5?
I was looking for a good weather app/widget with a clock.

View 2 Replies View Related1. The stock EVO theme has a verticle widget for your favorite contacts along with 4G toggle, Bluetooth toggle, WiFi toggle, and GPS toggle on screen 3. I have removed the favorties widget and can't seem to find it in the list of widgets. Is there an easy way to get it back without going back to the stock theme, and modifying it again?
2. My HTC Weather widget on the home screen doesn't seem to update well. As late as 8:50am today, I sync / refreshed the weather, and I am still showing the moon and not the sun. Same thing happened yesterday... except an 8:20 refresh brought in the sun. The Weather Channel app is much better about adjusting to morning/night...and they always seem to display different temps from the HTC weather. I thought errybody got their numbers from the same source.
Brand new droid and incredible owner switching from a blackberry. I was playing around today with my new phone and I accidentally deleted the "favorites" widget. How do I restore the "favorite" widget to my homescreen? I want it to take up the whole screen not just the small shortcut.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to drain my battery it was at 7% I rebooted my phone cuz i know that kills battery but when it rebooted it said the battery is 13% now what gives why'd it do that.
View 4 Replies View RelatedBackground info:
- I'm running the "Battery Left" widget and I have it displaying "estimated percentage left", "system percentage", and "estimated time left until dead".
- I listen to A LOT of Slacker Radio.
My issues:
- I was previously getting about 19+ hours out of a fully charged battery. 2-3 days ago I started having issues with the widget (I think it may have started when I installed an update to the widget) so I recalibrated it to no avail. Then I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Within a few hours it claimed that it was getting accurate readings (when I first installed the widget weeks ago, it took days to get accurate) and now says that I should be getting 9 hours out of a fully charged battery. I know that can't be right so I'll see how the widget adjusts itself over the next few days, but, any thoughts? (I know a lot of you guys use the same widget and know how it works...)
- Also, In the first two hours of my phone being unplugged this morning, it went from 100% to 70%. I did run Slacker for about an hour and a half of that time, but could it really drain the battery that much that quickly? And I noticed that when I close Slacker, if I go into phone settings, applications, running services - there's still a Slacker update thing running in there. Could that be draining the battery too, even if it's only checking for updates?
- I really don't run a lot of stuff on this phone. I keep wifi and gps turned off. I use bluetooth only a few hours each night. Minimal web browsing. Although, my POP email gets checked every 5 mins (but I just changed it to every 10) and I do use gchat and text a decent amount, but I'd say overall, it's "light" use (except for Slacker which could be a huge drain, right?)
What is the best battery widget? I'm looking for one that tracks by each percent. I know BatteryLife is a good one, this one did by percent on my Hero, but now it wont on my X.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI installed the HTC Battery widget (downloaded from the Android Market) and notice that while the battery is being charged, there is a visually effective animation that continuously runs.
I always though such animations in widgets were not supported in the SDK.
How is this technically possible?
What battery widget are you guys using? There are a ton of them on the market.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to make (yet another) news widget. Initially I thought it was enough to: 1. Download all the news articles 2. Update the widget every 5 seconds to change the currently displayed article using Alarm Manager (Alarm Manager.RTC) 3. Update the widget every 30-60 minutes to get new articles. This worked great on the first try but battery was quickly drained. I checked the logs and it turned out that the widget did the 5 second updates even if the screen was off. This was a surprise to me since the docs states: "..set an alarm with an Intent that your AppWidgetProvider receives, using the Alarm Manager. Set the alarm type to either ELAPSED_REAL TIME or RTC, which will only deliver the alarm when the device is awake. " I guess the device is considered "awake" even if screen is off? I found the same issue here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa. I then checked the standard news widget and the other news widgets most popular on the Android Market and I see that they have services running all the time. Maybe because they want to handle the broadcast event when the screen is turned off? So is this really the best solution to have a service running in the background? So if someone downloads 10 different news widgets from different companies they end up with a list of 10 services in the "Running services" list?

View 8 Replies View Relatedhey guys i just bought and installed WidgetLocker and must say that it rocks. But there is one thing i can't get to work. I'm trying to display my battery life on the lockscreen but the widget i have (BatteryLife by CurveFish) does not work. It just shows a depleted battery icon and says "loading" while it never does load. It works fine on my regular home screen but I'd like to have one that is compatible with WL too. Also... i have limited space on my current lockscreen, so my ideal battery widget would only take up 1x1 space. Is there such a thing?
Thanks all in advance.
That shows a battery with the percent inside it, also below it says if the battery is "good" and on the left shows its temp and other info.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just FR my Incredible to try to improve the battery life, and the battery widget I used to have by HTC Corporation is no longer in the Market! Does anyone else have suggestions for the best widget they've found? I liked the HTC widget because you could see more details when you clicked the icon as well as the relatively small icon size. Also, is it really better to not install Advanced Task Killer??

It's great for a day of snowboarding when you only need the essentials but need the battery to last! The battery was only at 75% by the end of the day for me. Check it out, it's a very high quality and professional app.
