Battery percentage.

Any way to change it from 10's to single digits?

And here's the answer:

Motorola's phones only show battery percentages in 10% increments. Thanks for that from XDA, but thats for HTC phones. Those phones will show 1% increments.

Look for Circle Battery Widget in the market. It's free, and does exactly that.

This one uses no battery to speak of (battery sends info only, icon doesn't poll looking for info), doesn't require root but looks like it does

Is there a way to change that or is it a hardware thing?

It's written into the framework of the phone. Don't think any of us will be changing it anytime soon. It's 10% increments down to 20, then 5% from there.

It's theoretically possible to change that, but would likely be a huge undertaking for a relatively minimal goal. Don't get me wrong I'd love to have 1% increments, but I just don't think it's in the cards.

Look for a widget call Battery Left it calibrates the info coming from batgtery to give you a better reading it also tells you how much battery you have left in hours and mins or mV

Circle battery widget does show battery level in increments of 1. Using it now and it shows 83% left

Well I'll be damned! :icon_eek:

Confirmed, this shows increments of 1. How is this possible? Everywhere I'd read said that the D2 wasn't capable of this.

Circle widget doesnt use the system status to gauge battery level per se, it takes the millivolt of the battery and makes an estimate. Its pretty damn accurate too.

Fascinating. Learn something new every day!

This app is pretty sick!
They should make it so it overlaps the stock battery icon with w/e icon you want, that way we have the single percents in the statusbar! So much cleaner.

But its nice the way it is too

That would certainly be cool. I imagine it will get there eventually... I kinda like it big on my main homescreen though:
