Anyone use "Battery Left'

[Bosgarage57]

I've been using an app called battery left, it can tell you how much % you have left, estimated time left, and estimated time it'll die, which is really cool. Well I have a question. Does anyone else use it, and if so under the "summary" what is your full battery life:? Mine says 6:46, meaning it'll stay for 6 hours and 46 minutes. I understand that it'll change given usages, or non usage. But will a 100% reading at 100% full i would like to hear someone elses full battery life to see if we are on about the same level. Oh btw this is with the extended battery no bloatware.

I use Battery Widget by geekyouup. It's high rated, not a resource hog and with the Rezound it counts down by % in ones. On my Droid X it counted down in tens. Very simple and to the point.

battery indicator or its pro version seem the best to me. puts a nice icon in your status bar.

fyi the reason the droid x counted down in tens is because of motorola, not because of any battery app's limitations.

Battery life by curvefish. gives the percent, you can color code it for certain battery percentages and it also displays your device tempurature and indicates if it's hot enough to be considered overheating.

I have used it for a long time. I like it. Like you said, it shows estimated time left as well as percentage. The more you use it the more accurate it gets.

As mentioned, I use Battery Indicator Pro. It gives you the same estimates but you dont have to worry about installing a widget. The battery percentage is in the status bar. You will get OCD turning on your phone just to look at the battery widget lol.

Im using Battery Widget. Looks just like the widget on the Thunderbolt and Incredible.

I use battery defender. Give you a percent and some pretty cool settings to help preserve battery life. Using it has been giving excellent battery during the workday where I hardly use the phone at all. Otherwise, it would just sit on my desk, battery steadily draining. Now, by the time I leave after a 10 hour day I have at least 70% left.

Mine showed 10 hours before i got the extended

The thing with it is it will stop calibrating by default once it is 'accurate.' So whatever life you get on that first run through is the full life it will report. Open app go to battery tab, click 'edit' and un-check 'calibrate till accurate,' all that does it let it continue to calibrate through a couple discharge cycles giving you a better guesstimate at total battery life. Once you went through a couple cycles just go back to the battery tab, go to edit and turn off calibration
