1% battery stats available without mod

Battery Monitor by SIMMO Publications

Battery Monitor by SIMMO just estimates it. It says so in the apps description.

Note: All 1% level changes are estimates on phones that return battery levels in 10% increments.

Maybe it just does a real good job of estimating.

All I have to say is that it is dead on accurate for me.

I was curious about how accurate Circle Battery Widget really was, so I sent the developer an email yesterday concerning the accuracy of this app and this is what he replied (the conversation is pretty short and direct):


Hi,

The value is not an approximating value, it's a value read in a system file.

I like it. You can change it's look a bit also.

Probably worth the donation price version. I like to support the really useful ones.

installed this about an hour ago, seems to be working very well as far as accuracy goes.

In case you guys wanted to know, I also asked him about a status bar notification that shows battery level:


Yes, in a next release... But it will be of the left of the status bar...

Seems to be working for me as well. I'll know on Monday when I have repeated usage. I check messages periodically during class.

How can you tell? The stock system only works in 10% increments about 20%.

The app reads from a system file that has 1% increments inside of it.

I got this one yesterday, it's nice having the 1% increments showing, but I noticed something rather odd... I've got Perfect system monitor running also, so I can see the 10% increments there.
On the 1% increments, the 10% will drop when the 1% hits 4%.. I hope that made sence.. In other words: 85% = 90% on the 10% widget, 84% = 80%. 75% = 80% & 74% = 70%...
Not that it really matters, I just thought it was ODD that it'd change on the 4% like that...
I'm running my battery down completely, to see if it makes any difference...

I dunno? At 85.0000001% I'm closer to 90% than 80%, so it displays 90%. The instant the math, because it seems consistent like a programming thing, flips to 84.99999% it's closer to 80% so it displays 80%.

Kinda makes sense actually.

its rounding up and down...

Just like when you get done charging your phone. Says 100% but even after like 20 minutes your battery truly has like 97% but registers 100%

This is encouraging really.

Tends to make me think it's actually doing what it says it's doing.

Without testing voltages, we don't know. It was known the Xs stats were 10%. Not sure how this magically gets the X driver to spit out 1% increments now.
