Battery Usage

[Issemann]

OK, I know there are a million posts regarding battery life for the Finch, but I've searched them all and couldn't find anything related to actual usage.

Is there an app/utility/anything available which will actually tell you what's eating up your battery? In other words, should I remove the Facebook widget from my home page? Should I get rid of my live wallpaper? Etc.

yea, go to settings>about phone>battery>click on battery use and it tells you what is using your battery.

Yes, I've seen that screen and clicked on the Android System bar to see the details. But they're very high level. It only shows totals and a list of the processes.

What I'd really like to see is which process used the most battery, or the most CPU, etc.

There are a couple I know of in the market, Spare Parts, and BatteryHistory. I use Spare Parts, and it gives a much more detailed breakdown in battery consumption than the stock app.
