Yes. something show the percents
Battery Monitor Widget Pro !
I use BatteryLife.
I like BattStatt, its really nice!
Its Pro version was recently released for free in market, and is much more customisable.
I'm using Smart Batter Monitor.
It's not a widget, but I'm very fond of Circular Battery Indicator

I've used this for a long time now - like it a lot
I used Vizbattery. ( no connection to the comic lol)
Simple, elegant and not very obtrusive
ive been using the make your clock widget with battery for a while now
i use clarus battery
can i say none?
well not if you are running gingerbread........
I brought juice defender ultimate and i like to think it made a bit of a
difference when running froyo.
Since i began running cyanogenmod i cant see any improvement what so ever-
I believe it may just be the way i personally use my phone;
I am constantly on my phone all day flicking it on and then locking it.
I think it may use alot of power creating a data connection(handshakes with server)
than what it would be if it was just left running in the background.
Bluetooth is never switched on, Gps on all the time,
I get 2 days usage typical/ I see roughly a 8- 10% drop per hour when listening to music on my headphones
If you dont use your phone alot you may see more of a difference.
Only my personal experience
Battery Monitor Widget Pro indeed.
use PowerTime as it tells you aproximately how long your battery will last you. It is also very customizable as a widget and it tells you how long your battery will last you according to your overall battery usage stats.

is it this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724778
I have wanted to use that myself but have not figured out for wildfire. Did the desire files work or did you have to recompile for the wildfire?
Do you also know if you can flash this over an existing theme you're using?
About the battery app. Don't use any widget, every widget consumes battery life. I just use the option in cyanogenmod that has a little color bar and the percentage number next to it... And the circulars posted above make it even cooler.
hey according to me ,,u download "android system" from market...it wil show u batteru...even details of rom n al......
i think the best way is http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
it just makes battery with percents in status bar... without any widgets
earlier, without root the phone i used Fbreader it can show also battery with percents... any other ways just decrease battery charge
Q. Can some1 plz tell me the name of an app which can measure the amount of battery each app uses....I want an app which tells me how much battery each app consumes

Hi there! You can try android assistant from the android market. I'm sure you'll like it. Cheers !
Install WIUI (MIUI based custom rom, you can find it on xda (tag: WAJKIUI))
It has the miui base battery stats which is quite detailed I think. And you don't have to install a standalone app for this.
or
Power Tutor (market app)
it is not for constantly running (because drains the battery : )), but if you want to check the consumption of some apps, you can do with it very well.
or
Battery Monitor Widget (market app)
I use it for a long time. It is constantly running and monitors the battery. I use the notification icon, which show me the battery percentage (1% step). There are a lot of notification packages. The app create a log file if you want and show graphs as well.
I agree with kanyazsomber:
WIUI gives you the details you are looking for
Any battery precentage apps by every 10% or 1%? For status bar or widget.
Battery Circle.
Also Battery Indicator Pro but be sure to go to the settings and enable the 1 % battery hack.

Ive been using Battery Indicator Pro for a few weeks now. Under what settings can you change it to a 1% read out? Im currently at the 10%.
I thought ive read in the past that moto phones have issues displaying by 1%?
Ok got it. I had an update for the app available. Updated and the "one-percent hack" was at the bottom of the options
And it is working
I've found the the description at the battery-indicator homepage, but where can I donwnload the hack itself? Or where is a button for update?
Edit: -> Problem solved, update from market
i have been using battery cricle for a week and but the battery full notifications comes on at 95% .Is this Bug in the app or everything normal ? or any other app suggestions ?

It's pretty common for any indicator I've used to drop to 99% as soon as I unplug, including battery circle. You might try a different USB cord or charge adapter and see if that makes a difference.
I'm using Battery Indicator Pro now, with the 1% hack enabled, and prefer it.
Thanks for the Reply
Use 2x battery..
FREE at android market..
The Icon circle looks good than Battery Circle
Ledefy : http://ledefy.com/
Made for the Motorola Defy/Defy+ Works great on the RAZR
Battery Notifier Pro BT
Battery Notifier Pro BT is my favorite for 1% increments on RAZR. I've tried others (including Circle Battery and Battery Indicator) but found some were hard to read or seemed to be more of a drain on my battery.
Battery Notifier Pro BT works well on RAZR and has big, easy-to-read numbers, color-coded ranges as battery discharges, and add-on fonts. Also, it is the lowest drain on the battery. I recommend it!
I've checked out all these suggestions. The best free one to me is Battery Circle. I changed it to where it's just the numbers in white no battery circle around it.

https://market.android.com/details?...wsMSwxLDEwMiwiZGUuZGV2bWlsLm1pbmltYWx0ZXh0Il0. Minimalistic Text shows 1% battery steps, and it's super customisable! (I don't think I can sounds more like an ad.)
Flash Arctic rom with vivid lime theme or www.UMTkitchen.com

Market says this app is incompatible with my RAZR.
I've tried a few, and Minimalistic text is really good. It's customizable, and does way more than just providing battery percentage. Simi clock widget also provides battery in increments of 1, if I'm not mistaken.

It is a cool app and I kept it. However, I specifically wanted a app with the battery percentage in the status bar, and I don't think Minimalistic can do that.
Try "team battery bar" also. It adds a 1 pixel battery bar at the very top (or bottom) of the screen, even when using a fullscreen app.
It's not a classical indicator but it's a very efficient one.

Is there an app the shows the battery integrity? What I mean by that is there an app the shows what percentage of it's originak full charge can a battery currently achieve? I know there is stuff like that for gnu/linux so I was wondering if there is anything like that for android. I did some quick searches (will do more later) and I found none

Check out ELEXIR.....its a great app!!!!! You may like what u see.....
HIT THAT THANKS BUTTON!
People are always posting in the ROM threads wondering if a 1% battery mod is possible. I, personally, dont understand why it seems to be harder to accomplish on ICS and JB than Gingerbread. But I have come across some alternatives for those who need 1% increments.
First, there is Minimalistic Text. This allows you to put a widget on your home screen showing 1% increments of the battery. Just create a battery level widget and you're done. (see attached screenshot)
Second, there is a newer app called Battery Widget Reborn Beta. Along with adding a widget to your home screen, this app will allow you to have a constant, customizable notification (see attached screenshot). What is interesting about this app is that it has a "motorola 1% hack" in the settings that makes this possible for us. Which leads me to a question/theory.
If this app is using a 1% hack specified for motorola devices, is it possible for some smart dev to look at how this app is doing this and maybe make a mod based on it to give us a built in 1% hack? Just thought I would bring that up. Other than than that, the other two apps are working great for me.
You're right on with the Minimalistic Text. I used it and it works just fine.

I actually just started using the Battery Widget Reborn and find it really cool. I removed my Minimalistic Text widget and I'm going to try this one out for a bit. I also just removed the battery icon all together since this puts a notification in the status bar.
Awesome. Thanks for this.
The app Battery Indicator uses a Motorola hack to get 1% battery increments working, but it doesn't override the Android battery icon.
Been using it for a while and I don't mind the extra notification, so some people might like it.

That app seems to be similar to Battery Widget Reborn. I think its weird these apps use a "Motorola Hack." Whats with Motorola that doesnt allow 1% increments. And why is it so hard to get this built in?
