Great app,only problem that I’ve encountered is the custom trip color battery doesn’t display how it should or it could be that I don’t know how to figure that part out,keep up the great work.
Quite often this doesn’t update on my home screen. I’ll show my battery in the status area as being at 3/4, but the batterylife icon still shows 97% or 100%. Sometimes it updates on its own, but more often than not it’s not updating.
apps killer? Not that I’m aware of. Where would I find that if I did have it installed? I looked in “Settings > Manage Applications” and I don’t see anything in there.
I’ve found I can “Force” it to update by holding down on any icon on my home screen as if I were going to rearrange it. At least there’s that. Again, I have no apps killer running on my phone and I now have the latest firmware Sprint HTC Hero update applied (1.5)
I know I’m just missing something obvious. I have the widget on my home screen but where do you go to change the colors on it, etc? I can’t find the settings panel for it anywhere. Thanks.
Would it be possible to add the feature that the battery State-of-Charge is calculated by (user input) Voltage range (e.g. linear mapping from 3.4V to 4.2V (0-100%)). This seems to be a much better indication when performing shallow charge/discharge.
Amazing app! Any chance of having the percentage removable? Or at least movable? I don’t like how it covers the battery. Id much rather see the entire battery.
I know that can be done but the OS still thinks it’s there after the uninstall.
Why is it still there and how can it be removed so it’s not recognized by the OS anymore?
Very well done guys! Your widget is the best available in the market and the most complete. I have some suggestions for you: you should add a 1×1 version of the widget for those with limited desktop space, and a little options menu to individually choose the values to be shown: most people will want to see the remaining time (a feature you’re currently missing), while nerds will stuck with mVolts indicator, and nobody (I think) will want to see the technology (I know it’s Li-ion and it’s not gonna change, so no need to waste space on the desktop for that).
Also, please try to fix the graphic bar problem, which I’ve seen is very common. On my Liquid (Donut, 480*800 px, widget v1.3.3) when battery is 100% the colored bar is just a little more than half of the total width of the widget. Apart from this, the graphic style is exceptional.

Всем хорош и прекрасен виджет.. отлично чувствует себя даже на Archos 5 IT!!
Trully great app! But on my Archos 5 IT it shows wrong temperature. It says that battery temp is about 2 celius degrees. May be I missed something but at last it should be about my room temperatire. How it can be so low?!..
And, please, make multilanguage interface or pont out what should I edit. Just want see it in russian!
I downloaded your battery widget about an hour ago, and have been playing with it ever since. Truly a great app. I’m now on your web site and will be bookmarking it for future use. Great job guys.
got the droid but when I added widget I dont see the temp or other things left of battery and how can i customize it i tried clicking on battery but it acts like im trying to move it pls help
i have the sprint hero and have the same prob as the others no task killer and it jams when i charge my phone. is the problem becuase the app is not compatible with my phone? and are you guys working on a fix?
really would like to see the power meter or any and all apps with black as a color option, which helps with power levels when things are in black. thanks!
Great app. Working flawlessly on MotoDroid. Is it possible to make the icon smaller and enable it to fit flush against the screen borders? Maybe have an option for large/small icon.
Great app! one quick question: i read on a forum that this can give an alert when the battery goes below “x” percent… having trouble finding that feature, if its there. Thanks!
It would be perfect if clicking on it showed some detailed battery usage information instead of options. Instead, a BatteryLife icon should be in the app drawer to launch the options.
was good for two days – had it on my homepage, now it has dissapeared it says installed under Market but when go to Widgets to add it back to the homepage it’s not listed. Tried removing/ readding it to no success, same with a quick phone reboot.
Yes I did try that, which did not work. I have the HTC Legend.
On the plus side it came back to my widget list last night while showing my friend the ability to add widgets to his home page! Thanks for the response. Hoping it won’t happen again as it is really useful
Great app thanks! Have you considered a charging animation option? I see the USB plug in, but it would be nice to see some sort of charging indication. The charging info does not seem to have this ability. I’m on a Galaxy S by the way.
I love this, use it all the time. Can I ask for one thing though? When you have it in multi-color mode, there’s only 3 colors. Can you update to have 4 or more? That would be fantastic. Thanks.
i have the droid and downloaded battery life for my phone, unfortunately my phone recently encountered a virus and verizon had to reset my phone back to factory mode deleting all my apps. when redownloading battery life, it doesnt let me open the application, does anyone else have this problem?? help me please
А почему бы не перевести на русский язык? Я так понимаю с русским в этой конторе знакомы не по наслышке В случае же если не знакомы – я могу помочь с переводом.
И еще пригодилась бы возможность по клику открывать “Сведения о телефоне” – “Аккумулятор” или вообще “Журнал сведений о батарее” (*#*#4636#*#*). Но что-то мне подсказывает это не так просто реализуемо… В общем, как идею – почему бы и не предложить.

However my widget is showing a temperature of 2.9 C, while 29 C seems more likely. I suppose this is due to a rounding error?
