is there any program that will show the battery percentage when charging? anyone?
homescreen++ ui is a really small today screen plugin that does it. afaik the taskbar icon cannot do it.
additionally, the measurement should be bull**** either way as long as the charging is active. while charging the value shown is normally far too much, when disconnecting the charger you can see a drop of more than 10% within 1 minute (due to bull**** readings while charging).

You can check out this (current/up-to-date page is HERE)
It is pretty customizable. I used it a lot on my 6800 and loved it. But I had some initial problems with my TP and switched to Jimm98y's GreenBatteryFIX which shows a % in the battery icon on the top instead of bars. When charging it just shows a plug icon though. (I think that is the current version)
You could try THIS out as well.
Thnx Pantaloonie and chrialex, I was lookin for such apps
Hey all, I was wondering about Spare Part's Battery percentage counter and its accuracy. I'm kind of OCD about the battery right now because I want to know exactly how long it will last on regular usage.
Anyway, I took it off the charger at about 6:30 AM this morning after an alarm, had another alarm and had about 4 calls. Messed with it a bit (Twitter and Gmail, etc) and went to work. It was at 100% until about 10:30/11 AM (quite a while) until I went installing Handcent SMS.
I tested it out and checked the battery. It was at 97%. Every 5 or so minutes, I checked the battery and it would go down a percent every time. Already uninstalled Handcent SMS as I thought it might be doing something.
It's 11:40 AM now and battery 88%.
I have Gmail to only sync my mail and it hasn't synced since 9 this morning, no calendar and contacts because contacts sync quite often and I didn't need it to. Twitter is set to sync every 2 hours. Those are the only things that have any syncing ability really.
Last night I had the phone in standby for about 3 hours and it was at 48% that whole time.
Mobile network is off since I'm on Wifi.
Is Spare Parts just catching up to the battery? Are there any apps to get the battery % in the status bar on top? Thanks guys!

I don't know anything about spare parts, but I do know that wifi really drains the battery. You said last night I had the phone in standby, was the screen (thus the wifi) on during the whole day?
It's turned of when put in standby so it's logical it doesn't drain the battery then.
Ok, I have solution. I've found Battery Monitor v1.0.5 and finally it shows the percentage in the status bar

What if you have the status bar black...the text of the percentage is also black. Is there a way to change the text color?
EDIT: I found out that when you are in the status bar press the Monitor and once it gets to the blue screen where you have to enable it press menu and settings and the only option there is to change font color.
Hi there,
Do you know what app should be installed if i want to know battery indicator in task bar when i charge my bettery ? I am using spooncharge it shows the indicator but i have to run the app 1rst
i had tried ariel battery too, but it overlaped another icon..
thanks
What about the taskbar battery indicator. It should show the battery state....
Deleting batterystats.bin from /data/system doesn't help
what else can I do?
sort of the same problem
even when the battery is down to like 20% it still shows 90% on status
i just ignore it completely and use a third party battery meter like Gauge Battery Widget

it's simply the best!
@op, do you mean the battery indicator in the notification bar always shows full or when you check the status screen? there were quite a few times when i would delete the battery stats on my nexus one and the battery status would show 100% for 5 hrs or so, but eventually it would start to drop. once i fully charged it again it would work normally. one of the few things i hate about the galaxy s is that the battery meter in the notification bar is so out of whack. i hate having to check the settings page all the time and i stopped using battery apps due to battery drain
use the widget/status bar icon i recommended above
Allgamer:
Thank you but my problem was battery showing 100% all the time, it doesn't metter if I use widget or other method.
hondaguy:
Thank you
evantually it started dropping (after few hours)
now it's o.k.
The Galaxy S will show in the notification bar as '100%' untill the 75% mark is reached.
Hey guys
I have problem with battery

I saw it with custom roms and stock i tried all kernels
And problems sometimes appear and sometimes no i tried wipe battery and
No diffrent
I want to destroy this problem for ever
Thanks alot.
No One Know How i can fix it ?
I don't think it's a bug.
I'm pretty sure it's just the way it estimates your battery percentage.
Here's how I think it works.
If you've been using your phone for, say, 3 hours straight, your phone calculates your drain rate like batt%/min or something.
And judging by how long you've used it for, it will estimate the approximate percentage of battery remaining.
When it's on deep sleep for a while, not only is the clock rate different (probably <200mHz at deep sleep), but the drain rate will change too.
The phone will re-estimate the battery percentage according to that new rate, hence the different (often higher) battery percentage, after a period of inactivity.
I could be completely wrong, but that's how I see it.
Thanks for ur Idea Brother
Any one have other Idea ?

If Battery drain is your problem, try this-
Discharge your battery till it switch off automatically
Now connect your charger in switch off mode and charge it till the full.
Now after recharging it fully, unplug your charger from the socket.
Go to recovery mode and go to advance,wipe battery stats and restart your device.
HIT THANKS BUTTON,AS IT IS MANDATORY.
