I know how to navigate to the battery %, but is there a way to replace the battery icon with a percentage?
Golph, you need to get Battery Indicator Pro from the market, its 1$ but it works awesome and puts the % in the status bar and is really accurate and u can apply colors for different threshold levels. They do have a free version if you didn't want to pay!
I got one of the free ones in the market, nothing fancy but it gives actual percentage on the battery and it seems accurate.
quick question, is it better to let your battery go completely dead and then charge to full capacity, or charge it when its at half
The type of battery in the Evo is better off not being allowed to run down. Its recommended that you charge it prior to it getting very low.
