902 update battery %

[Trackready]

I'm 10 hours off the charger including being off the charger for the 902 update this morning. Still reporting 100% battery life, pretty skeptical right now.

thats some awesome battery life lol. Would drain that bad boy dead before putting it back on the charger.

I plugged mine in about 6-7 hours after taking mine off charger this AM and it was only at 80. usually, i am at about 40-50 lol

Just dropped to 90 then 80 within an hour. Then from 80 to 50 a few moments ago. Still, normally with 4G at the 12 hour mark I need to plug in. I'm well beyond that now and if %50 is accurate that's a huge improvement. Just will leave it off the charger tonight and see what happens.

I think you need to calibrate your battery! Lol.

Took mine off the charger about 10am, its 9pm now and im at 70%, but I wasnt on A TON like I usually am. Pretty happy with the upgrade (tweaks) to the battery.

Used mine all day with 4 g on and didn't notice a dramatic improvement in the battery life

 

[Trackready]

Alright, battery % started dropping heavily in the last few hours. Either way it's a great improvement in battery life. Battery calibration in question or not, before the update my phone would have manually shut down over 5 hours ago!

My Bionic still says my software is up to date (.893) but I was wondering how do you recalibrate your battery?

How would one go about doing that?

I must say I'm really don't like the Bionic's battery reporting only in 10% increments. I found version 9.4 of Battery Monitor which allows the Bionic to report battery in 1% increments.

My phone doesnt die fast so I dont need to check my battery life every 10 minutes to see 94%, 93%, 92% lol ill stick with the 10% and have 1 less app running in the background =P

Take the battery all the way down to 0 several times and recharge all the way to 100 each time and your battery will be recalibrated.

If you go to https://market.android.com/details?...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImJhdHRlcnkubW9uaXRvciJd and then in the description there is a dropbox link to get version 9.4

Don't know why this bersion 10.5 is not recoomended since I did not try it

It's available here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54446973/BatteryMonitor.apk&usg=AFQjCNFNSUC9fk4A79OL-EHi0ZJ4MWTx_Q

The market app, here: https://market.android.com/details?id=battery.monitor#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwiYmF0dGVyeS5tb25pdG9yIl0. is no longer compatible with GB, but you can see from that link where you can get 9.4 (the link I listed above.)

I use this one because it can put the % in the notification area, so I don't have to unlock to see the amount of battery left.

If you want a market app that is similar, BattMonX does 1% increments as well: https://market.android.com/details?...result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsInNhLmJhdHRtb254Il0.
