I like Battery Monitor Widget. Great charts and other info inside the app, a bunch of widgets that are configurable (including having %/hour in the widget), and as a bonus (for me) it supports multiple batteries.

If it works for you, buy the Pro version (no extra features that I'm aware of, but supports the developer).

Thanks - I like this! Do you happen to know if there is a way to see % drain per hour in the graph?

More specifically, are you asking if you can see the % drain per hour in the Widget graph, or in the graph within the app?
It doesn't matter, the answer is 'yes' to both.
Within the app, just touch the graph and it will toggle between 3-4 items, %/hr is one of them.
For the widget, place one of the graph widgets on your desktop, e.g., the 4x1 widget. Then go into the app, go to Settings -> Widget Content-> Graphic Data and choose %/hr.

i need a battery app, i had one before that i liked but can't find it again, so can someone suggest one to me, it MUST have the percentage shown as an icon on the top
BattStat. It's a battery widget.
Rather than install a duplicative battery widget why not root your phone and change the icon already on the task bar to show the percentage? There should be a number of posts with options on this site if you search.
I'd also add Rom Manager (clockwork) and Root Explorer to your list.

Aren't apps based on your needs? Not your needs based on apps?
And battery replacement icons are all over and provided through MetaMorph too, try to search once and awhile.

It just depends on your personal preference,
I personally like,
Nimbuzz
Fringg
Metamorph
Google Voice
Rom Manager
Launcher Pro
For montoring battery status, space left on SD, internal memory or free ram, I used to use SysTray Monitor. It puts a percent in the notification area for one of these four things. I used it on my MT3G to show SD space. I then used it on my Vibrant for the correct battery charge until I found the Circular Battery Clockword mod. That shows the battery percent and, more importantly, it is accurate.
Eggz
Talking Tom Cat
Twidoyd
Urbanspoon
Wertago
Sim Checker
Movie Downloader (Ability to download movies directly to phone instead of just playing them)
NFL Game Center
Asphalt
Backbreaker
Air Hockey
According to you, what is the prettiest and coolest battery app? Please share your idea

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.

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
Hi,
How can I get 1% increment for battery without rooting. I am still new to the android world, I am still in reading stage, so please suggest me some steps to do it.
Thanks,
download Circle Battery Widget in the market.

Thanks for the response, but I am looking some thing which will display on my status bar.
There's an app in the market that will do that. It may be called Battery Circle (instead of Circle Battery), but I can't recall off the top of my head. Just do a search in the market and you should find it.
Battery Monitor by SIMMO Publications
It's free, no root required, and works great. Also can graph your battery usage.

Has anyone found a widget that will display the current (power) used?
I have used current widget in the past but it does not update on my view.
I tried battery monitor widget and that also only displayed 0mA
Thanks
Instantaneous current usage is not very valuable since the CPU scales up and down quickly all the time and that will greatly influence the value. I would recommend one of the apps that graphs battery usage and tells you what is using how much over a given period. Look in the market place.

I have found current widget very useful for checking power consumption especially at idle.
Try battery monitor widget, it has graphs and a similar widget to current widget.

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?
