Help Why does my Photon show my battery status in intervals of 10%?

[Matticusnicholas]

I have downloaded many different battery widgets but they all count the battery of my phone in intervals of 10. My Lg Optimus M shows me battery status in intervals of 1 -- the Photon will not do that.

Any tips?

Been mentioned before, but there are certain battery apps that don't account for the 1% increment. Something built into Motorola phones. Here are some battery indicator apps that have proven to show the 1% increments:

I'm sure there are others as well, but those two seem to be the most popular.

Thanks! Any chance there is a different version of TEAM Battery bar that also goes 1% at a time?

Oh, wow, that's cool. I used to use something similar on my Windows Mobile phones before. But, not sure if there is something similar to it that works with Motorola showing 1% increments because it's the first I've seen this particular app.

Have you tried emailing the developer to see if they can make it work to show 1% increments for Motorola Phones?

After a little 'bit of keyword google searches, I found this one:

No indication if it works okay for Motorola phones getting 1% increments though, but it shows the bar like the other one you posted.

Nevermind. Still the same situation. Shows 10% increments.

Here's another one I found:

Haven't tested, so not sure if it's the same situation.

If you're rooted and your bootloader is unlocked the ROCKO rom on XDA developers shows 1% battery increments by default. It also has Beats audio built in, alows me to overclock my CPU to 1.3Mhz, oh... and I am 28 hours off the charger and my battery is at 69% as I type this!!! Just do it people... the Photon is a beast if you'll only let her out of the cage!!!

I plan on porting to Boost Mobile, so I don't want to mess with anything.

Can always flash a stock sbf.

For those that actually keep their notification bar up, while doing some searching, I found this app that creates an icon overlay:

Granted, it only shows 10% increments for Motorola phones, but thought I'd share in case it's something people will like. No rooting required.

I use this one https://market.android.com/details?...GVyZS5hbmRyb2lkLkNpcmNsZUJhdHRlcnlXaWRnZXQiXQ.. Works perfectly.

Minimalistic Text is a free app that includes a text-based battery widget capable of doing 1% increments. I use it exclusively, but it's not your solution if you're looking for a pretty graphic (even if there is something to be said for minimal text graphics!)
