is there a simple app to keep track of the amount of time its been since you last plugged the phone into an outlet?
just want to know how long my phones been running on battery
i know the phone has a stock battery info on gingerbread but i can have my phone plugged in and it still says running on battery,and you have to pay attention to the lil dots underneath to figure out how long actually its been running on battery
i was using battery snap, which had that option, but according to system panel app, it was drawing way too much CPU/battery
any simple suggestions?
Drainguard. Loads of extra info.

Fahrenheit?
SetCPU displays the batt. temp. in F.
BatteryLife widget will show you temp too. In C or F
Same for Battery Monitor Widget.
thanks for the replies. I really like the HTC battery widget so ill have to try another if i want farenheight. Stupid HTC! lol
Can anyone recommend a good lockscreen that will display upcoming calendar events? It also needs to have good battery life and preferably have a launcher to launch sms when you have one like the stock lockscreen.

AGILE LOCK! Mimics to an extent the htc sense lockscreen.
I'm a huge fan of it. While it doesn't 'hide' the text message option, and 'show' it with new text. It does allow for fast access to 4 apps of your choice, and it enables accessing the pull down status drawer (open new text messages) with the lock screen still active.
And for calender it allows you to use any widget of your choice. Here's mine:

Hands down one of the things I like the most in terms of usability.

How is battery life? My biggest concern is always battery life.
Thanks.

Widget Locker is also an option.

I second this, also smooth calendar is nice and clean.
Agile lock uses very little battery. Never noticed the difference.
Some have reported widget locker as causing battery drain issues but I think it's more likely it was app conflicts causing it. My wife's atrix has run a number of roms and never had a battery issue from widget locker. She really likes it.

Hi, I recently got an app called "Super Status Bar", and it's pretty nice. The only con is that it is in beta, and some apps with ongoing statuses are not displayed properly. The status bar itself, however, has a battery percentage feature. It looks nice, and it could replace the app "Battery Indicator Pro" I use for the regular status bar. Any suggestions? Battery indicator Pro displays exact numbers, but the stock Motorola software and most other apps display the battery level in increments of 10%. Thanks!
Themes and app section.
Use the Almighty search, also you need to be rooted

Which one specifically? A few threads have gone unanswered, and one is in a ROM.
Could someone kindly direct me or tell me how to change the battery icon to no percentage on some of the themes, i lose the theme if i install stock battery. I just don't wanna see the numbers it's annoying but everyone put percentage on there themes. Even if you know a link explaining how would be nice thanks.

I like color in high def theme but the clock got numbers i tried putting stock battery with that there but it took away theme settings didn't hide or get rid of clock with percrntage just added more numbers on the side i recall on the evo 4g lte they had a hack to where you can hide the battery all together i rather do that and use miui bar for battery. I stalled the bar but battery still present.

Hey Guys, I was looking in the power section in settings and saw that "Screen" was using 64% of the battery. I have had It go from 40% to 80%. I was just wondering if this is normal, and is this the power the display is using or something else. I am urgent to know. Does anyone else have similar stats to this in their Power section of settings on a HTC Desire X.
Thanks,
Joe
That's a huge battery drain
I have this drain when I have 100 %brightness and all animations on. Now i have around 30-40 % screen usage (25% brightness and no animations)

What apps are you using and what did you use it for the most?

I use the Phone App, Messages, Bad Piggies and occasionally Temple Run 2. On my home screen I use the stock HTC launcher with 1 BeautifulWidgets Widget and a few shortcuts.

64% doesn't mean your screen is using too much, it just means you don't use a lot of other apps. It's in percentage, not amount of energy used.
If you would have two apps both using 20% of the battery, and nothing else, your screen would be 60%. If you have five apps all taking up 15%, your screen would be 25%.
I mean, my screen takes up 70% now, and that doesn't have anything to do with brightness, cause it's set as low as possible. It's just affected by the amount of apps running.
