Battery Calibration Inaccurate #128

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Please try to find a way to incorporate accurate battery calibration to the 
battery app.  My Sprint Motorola Photon running Gingerbread does not reflect 
the battery power left on my device accurately.  There have been others on some 
websites who have complained about the same issue.  
Also, can you find a way to keep the battery icon in the task bar on top of the 
screen from moving off the screen when other apps have their icons there as 
well?  The other icons force the battery icon off the screen.

To be absolutely clear, my request above is not an issue with the battery app.  
It has been reported on several forums that the newer phones (like my Sprint 
Motorola Photon) are having problems reflecting the accurate level of battery 
power for extended batteries.  Mine is a Seidio 3500mAh extended battery.

Regarding your primary issue, unfortunately the app has no way to report 
anything more accurate than what is being reported to it by the battery via the 
OS.  Either the manufacturer or Google will need to resolve the issue if the 
battery and/or Android is reporting inaccurate values.

Regarding the icon being pushed off the screen, I'm not aware of any way to 
make the system prioritize the Battery Indicator notification over other ones.  
If any one reading this knows a way to do so, or if you know of an open-source 
app that seems to do so, please let me know.

Hi. I have the same problem with accuracy, bionic 2.3.4, but I used the clock 
and found it is, at least on my bionic,  that it is 50% off. When I reach 1% I 
know I'm at 50%. I consistently get no less than 70 hrs. On my 4000 mah battery 
I got from accessory swamp.com. The app works as it should with my standard 
battery.  Hope this helps. I USED STICKY NOTE to keep accurate times.
