Battery use-apps

[Rarewolf]

I was wondering if there are any BETTER alternative "battery use" apps out there.
(The system app yoj find in settings> about> battery use)
Because i feel the stock one is lacking a bit of information. Plus the battery apps on the play store are battery indicator widgets and battery "boosters" i mainly want battery information apps.

Hi Rarewolf,

from what I heard, many ( not all ) of these battery apps are conflicting with the system and slowing down devices..... Just saying to be careful and do lots of research and get recommendations, BEFORE installing any of them.....

Good luck !

I've always been a fan of better battery stats

Its not free but it has quite a bit of info.


Another good one that's free would be gsam battery monitor

Battery widget? Reborn! gives a lot of info. It's a pay app though, the free version only works for a few days.

I think he is just looking for an app to tell him what is draining the battery not one to manage it.

I used to believe in those optimizer apps. But now that I am not home all day playing with my phone and also working in an area with excellent signal strength, I find that my battery life is consistently >20 hours. Not really sure by how much because I never let it go down below about 30%.The low signal strength at my house is apparently the biggest drain on my battery.

CM9 has some nice battery stats. I quit looking at the CM7 stats much since the battery life has been so good. I think that I did have an app or 2 that were juice hog. As an unexpected benefit of uninstalling them, my battery life increased.
