Not so much an app reporting on battery status, level, time left, extra. More of a process monitor that tells me what's eating battery and by how much. Any recommendations?
Thanks. This looks pretty good. I just installed it. I like that it doesn't just "auto-kill" apps, but notifies you of the status, so you can make up your own mind what to do about it - like remove the offending app.I have found a good app called Watchdog, which monitors all of the processes running in the background. Any app that runs over a certain CPU threshold, Watchdog will send you a notification of the offending app, along with the option to kill it. It is a free app and works like a charm for me.
The built-in battery use log misses a lot. For one thing, I can spend two hours on the MHS, battery juice only, and it doesn't even register on the built-in battery usage log. Watchdog has way more details. And will send an alert to your notification bar when things go particularly screwy.menu->settings->about phone->battery->battery use

System Panel Lite looks good too but includes the kitchen sink Usually I use the KISS principle. More function usually takes more power. But if I find myself wanting more details/capability, I'll try it out.I perfer SystemPanelLite Task Manager myself, check it out at https://market.android.com/details?id=nextapp.systempanel&feature=search_result
