battery monitoring page??

[oasis9389]

excuse me for my n00b'ness however i see a lot of screen shots on the evo of a page that tells you what part of your phone is draining the most battery.

Is this a stock app or is it something i have to download?

if someone could point me in the right way w/o replying "omg use search" that would be great..

thanks.

Settings>About Phone>Battery> then expand "battery use"

where do you find where it tells you what percentage of battery life is left? On mine all have is a line, it doesn't show an actual number %.
?????

well what is your "display" on time? if your display has also been on for 2 hours and 25 minutes, then this would make sense.

 

[oasis9389]

display is at 17%

also how come i don't see any apps listed there, and in some screen shot on here i see all the apps that are using battery listed.

thanks.

thanks.

what are you currently syncing? and how often? what is your screen birghtness set at? what widgets do you have running? how often are those widgets updating?

answering these questions will give us a better idea of how to help you.

well. i was at 100% brightness. i lowered it today to 50% didn't even realize that.

I have beautiful widget on my home page updating every 3 hours, is that alot?
I have everything turned off, other than mobile network.
I used to have friendstream updating but i removed the widget (not using it) also i have the fav's contact widget open, and i think that updates from friendstream too. should i shut that off?

I use a task killer to kill apps i am not using but i have read that, that can actually hurt the battery.

Search the market for 'spare parts'. That will show you what you're looking for.

I also always have gtalk signed in.. idk if that is a battery killer, but its something i use.. at some point i could just be on airplane mode and last 3 days.. i have to use some features.

 

[oasis9389]

i have spare parts.. its hard to read for me.. i have seen apps in the battery usage stock page on screen shots posted.. but i don't see apps listed on mine.

 

[oasis9389]

can anyone tell me how to get apps listed in my battery usage breakdown page?

 

[meyerweb#CB]

Settings / Phone / Battery / Battery Use is the closest I've seen without a third party tool. You can then tap on each entry to get a little more information for it.

 

[oasis9389]

yea thanks.. i thought i have seen specific apps listed on this page in screen shots.
