My DInc used to show me in the settings menus the number of hours and minutes of Total Time vs. Awake Time, which gave me a good indication if there was a rogue app eating away my battery. I have 2 monitoring apps on my DroidX2, Spare Parts+ and SystemPanel, but neither of these really tell me these numbers in the same way. Spare Parts+ does give me a comparison of screen time on vs. running time. My phone has been on for 10 hours, with the screen on 1h 5m and the running time is 1h 57m.
I know I'm just rambling here - my real question is what do you guys use to track this sort of thing on the X2, do you recommend any better apps?

Download spare parts from the market. It has a few battery tools as well as the ability to tweak animations. I set my transition animations to fast and the phone feels snappier overall.

I'm not typically on the phone for long amounts of continuous time, just to text then i turn the screen off (the display is on auto brightness), and i'm getting half a days battery, and display is showing up as using about 70% of my battery at any given time. Any ideas on what could help or anything? Any help is much appreciated
I've had the same thing since day one. What I always do is turn the brightness down when ever I can. It actually helps a lot. You'll notice a difference

I play HD games for like 5 hours before battery runs out .
How often you sync your emails? every 15mins?
Also try UC , UV and turn your screen brightness to as low as you can.
I hardly ever sync my emails, i have it to auto-sync but i never open it. and whats a good kernel that allows me to do that?
% means nothing... Tell us how long your screen was on

total screen time was about an hour

if you never change your email sync setting, it is sync every 15 minutes I believe and that sure use a lot of juice.
Really you should try UV and UC and don't use force dual core if battery life is most important to you.
do you know what kernel would allow me to do this?
I take it most of you run manual w/ the screen fairly dim. I have had it on automatic. Im curious at about what percent auto hovers at. I know it auto adjusts but it probably has a general range it stays at - just curious if its like 35% or 55%.
What Percentage do you guys keep the brightness on for the best combination of battery life and visibility?

Mine is GSM version, so probablly can't help you. I am sure it will be all over the place in CDSM section.
I will start looking, thank you very much for helping me
I thought we've been over this. A high screen on percentage doesn't mean youre screen is killing the battery. It means its using the most amount of overall power. Technically that's a good thing. It means the rest of your phone (syncing, android processes, games, etc. Etc.) Aren't running wild in the background while the phone is asleep.
I'd be more worried if your display was only using 40% of the battery!
Turn auto brightness off.... It's too simple to pull down quick settings to change it that way,
Find an app to see running processes and services,might see stuff listed you have no idea was running.... Don't force close anything or mess with anything just use it as a refrence and find out if u really need the app or not, I use titanium back up to keep apps that I use just not to often and just restore them quickly use it and delete it.... I've seen a lot of games running in the background to give notifications and stuff, could be a lot of things... Best soulution to save batttery.... Buy a spare lol

Good day.
I have following battery consumation: display eat battery capacity very quickly. In decreasing area i was veawing 3d video trailers on youtube constantly. And during this perion screen eat 78% from all processes. Is it normal? Can i change this horrible appetites of screen? Backlight in automatic.
what app can effectively track our battery drain in MA?
battery monitor widget is quite erratic, or is it really that high during idle
-50 to -150ma (screen off)
I had installed battery monitor and noticed, that when using phone in internet plussed in usb for charging - BM shows -430mA!!! Is usb port so weak? why phone consume so many power?
hi friends
I want to buy a second hand device
how can I fine total usage time of this one max (screen on)?
thanks in advance
Is LG's claim of 5% per day drain if the second screen is left on all day true? Recently just discovered that there is no more notification light as it was replaced by the second screen for notifications.
I have been using the second screen for one whole day and then today all day without it and didn't even notice a difference a difference in battery drain or gain in both days comparison. Used my v10 like normal and nothing less.
The banner has a separate LED when the main screen is off.
Moreover, it uses proximity sensor to turn on/off the banner.
The battery graph can't display on one screen afik. Perhaps someone knows how to shrink the graph so that one does not have to scroll 2-4 screens' worth to see what the battery has done?
Not seeing why this would be needed?

Other than installing another app which will probably drain battery i don't think maybe when root is available and we can use xposed then maybe there is a module

Well, as said, don't want to scroll through many screens to see battery graph. Very hard to get a sense of what has been happening to battery with this requirement. EVERY android device I've ever seen has a single screen with the battery graph. Even the G4 used the android standard. Sheesh.
Was hoping someone would say, eg, oh, slide the foozits slider in settings/lg/randombs.

Well, it's really.. to be realistic, inconsequential. Your looking for a saving of literally a few seconds scrolling a screen?
