I'm looking for an extremely simple and non intrusive battery widget thing... like on the iPhone. I just want a percent showing battery life to the left of the battery on the top bar.

I'm new to Android so have probably missed something. I'm running a Droid X and looking for a simple way to get a snapshot reading of the battery (% charge mostly). I haven't found it yet on the standard phone, and the battery widgets from the marketplace do far more than I'm looking for and seem to have the side effect of draining the battery anyway.
View 7 Replies View RelatedAnyone know of a simple 1X1 widget that will show me the phones temperature in Fahrenheit?
I use my Dinc a lot in the car for hours at a time using GPS, Pandora and maybe other apps. Running all of them can really heat up the phone so I like to keep an eye on it. I can see the temp if I pull the notification bar down using Battery Indicator but I'd like to be able to watch this with just a glance
On my Eris i really liked using the HTC Battery Widget. I guess it's resolution is too small for the incredible.

I am so impressed with this widget that I felt it deserves its own thread.
Not only does it tell you your battery %, but it tells you the est. time left and time that it will die. It's way off at first, but after a few cycles (let the phone die, charge, and repeat) it gets really accurate.
That aside, this widget will show you the apps using the most CPU, Network, GPS, Sensor, and "Partial Wake" usage.
Just wondering which battery widget I should download out of the market?
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhich is pretty cool because it puts a small icon in the top left corner of % remaining. But it does not tell me statistics - like what is using it the most, etc. I would really like an app that tells me the estimated time remaining on the battery.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to figure out what is draining my battery all of a sudden. I was fine going all day without needing a charge, but now it is dropping fast. I was using the dazzle widget and really like it, but not if it is the cause. Has anyone else been using this and had any battery issues. I just deleted the widget to see.

I've looked up settings and I think it's not native to the clock or WidgetLocker but I love it, very minimal. I've looked everywhere and downloaded a ton of wrong choices, I need some help here. Anybody know?

View 22 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a replacement for the Motorola Blur Notes widget. I don't think this exists as an app, just a widget. Since updating to CM9, I have this 4x2 gaping hole where I used to be able to press and type, and what I typed would sit there. I don't want a text editor (I have a few), and I don't want a to-do list (don't need one). Just something to jot down notes on the home screen.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWith all of the questions and threads regarding battery usage, life and monitoring, I thought this might be a good time to share my thoughts of what has helped me *deal* with this issue.
I want to preface this by saying that:
-Yes, the stock battery supplied with our phones is probably inadequate.
-Yes, having to buy a better battery after purchasing a "Tier One Phone" sucks.
-Yes, usage is subjective and dynamic and one persons heavy usage is another persons light usage.
-No, this will not address extremely short battery life (other problems are causing that)
-No, this will not account for the phone seemingly giving a false 100% indication.
-No, this will not help anything but your psyche
That said, I think we (myself included and maybe the most guilty) are putting too much emphasis on what our battery widgets and indicators are telling us. The blessing/curse of our phones is that they report battery life in 1% increments which is great for keeping accurate battery life information, but its not great for our sanity. Think about that logically for a moment!
Here is my experiment for anyone who obsesses over battery life but can make it through a day with no worries of their battery dying!
1) Next time you fully charge your battery, after you remove it from the charger, keep an eye on the widget as it drops down to between 95% - 90% and then take notice of your default battery indicator. It will still look fully charged! Do this for a day or two if you want!
2) When you are satisfied that what I'm telling you is reality, uninstall your battery monitoring widget or app and just go about your day as usual for about a week.
I am willing to bet that those of you like me, who actually have respectable battery life but still obsess over it, will not go back to what I call "percentile battery monitoring". Of course their will be exceptions as some people just need that number, but I really believe this may help some people get over their battery monitoring obsession!
Im looking for a digital clock widget that is just the clock. No weather or anything like that. Sounds simple enough? Well, the problem is, I find all these nice clocks but theyre all 1x2 or even 1x1. Im looking for something atleast 1x4. 2x4 is fine also. I like beautiful widgets but I dont want the weather.

The bookmark widget that comes in ICS is ok but I want something with just a scrollable list of the bookmark names. I have looked at a few different apps on the market and they are mostly thumbnails of the webpage.
this works fine on my Droid X but on my wifes ALLY i cant get it to show new calendar entries for some reason? i hit refresh in top left corner after adding new event but it wont show up?

View 1 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?)
I just got LauncherPro plus and i need a free weather widget that is simple and "elegant" ( i am a girl) to go with the look i am trying to achieve on my phone.. I'm new to all the apps and stuff.. i've had my phone since feb and i never really got into really personalizing my UI layout.

View 13 Replies View RelatedThere's a battery use widget which is actually a shortcut to a menu (or a hidden menu, i didnt find it anyway) that shows the percentage of the battery that every process used.
It shows me:
Android System : 70%
Cell Standby : 14%
Phone Idle : 14%
Android OS : 2%
Anyway, no matter what i do to my phone - running 1.6.3.1 , with APN on, sync off, wifi off, gps off, wireless networks off, around 30 minutes of accessing the network and 30 minutes of calls - the battery almost dies at night.
I liked the looks of Battery Left, and gave it a try. I'm running the OEM extended battery.
Removed bulk of post since developer is working with me on pinpointing the issue.
So, looking for another good 1x1 battery widget that'll do increments of 1% - or at least 5%. Suggestions? I've found several that will just report the stock %, which doesn't help since stock will only do 10% increments.
