Battery Status, based on the DLLImport project by fiinix shows, as the name suggests, the battery status of your phone. It has a Live Tile which is updated about every 10 or 30 minutes (depending on the user's preference).

It shows the percentage on both sides of the tile and a matching icon on the front. You can log the battery data (percent or voltage), show the data on a graph and view a report.

The app also lets you view the current processes and memory usage and you can open the battery saver.

Working for all (Chevron/Developer) unlocked phones. :)

Supported languages as of version 4.6 are: Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Korean , Polish, Portuguese(Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish, Swedish.

If you want to translate the app to Finish or Japanese or if you want to improve an existing translation, please use the app translator that is attached here and send me the generated file. Thanks a lot :)

Special thanks to fiinix for DLLimport, to sensboston for his great support, to MJCS for finding the GUID for the battery saver and to all the translators and donators.

New Windows application (History Viewer) by sensboston, which allows you to view the battery data on your PC.

As singularity0821 said, it works perfectly with Omnia 7 ^^x

I join Battery Status & CSharp DLLImport screens ;)

Live Tile would be great :)

I think the other information is quite useless because most of it is 0 :)

I'm working on the Live Tile right now :) I'm having a little problem with referencing DLLImport from another project (which is needed for the background agent) but I hope I can get around that.

This is how it looks so far:

battery1.jpg
battery2.png

It's a flipping live tile, the status and the icons also change.

If you could get it working with HTC devices, I would love to see something that shows current power usage, so I can see what app is killing my battery...

    I just finished version 4.0 and I am waiting for the translators now. Then I need to test it a little. Here are a few screenshots, I hope you like it.

    The main screen buttons and the charging and voltage text can be removed in the settings.

    P.S.: If you want the app in Danish, Finnish, Hungarian, Japanese, Norwegian or Portuguese (Brazil), now is the time :) Send me a PM if you want to translate the app! All other supported languages are included in v4.0.

    I am not sure if I am still welcome in this thread after abandoning this project for so long, and there's no excuse after how great you all have been in the months that I have spent working on the app!

    I had a very busy time, with a lot to do for work and for university there simply wasn't any time for my own projects anymore. But well as I said before, there's no excuse for just disappearing and I am sorry for that.

    I am still very busy, but I will go through all the unread emails and messages and I will answer each one of that even if I am really late with some..

    Anyway, I have some good news. I have ported BatteryStatus to WP8, and it already passed certification and should be in the marketplace very soon. (http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/battery-status/76c3ebad-935b-4e5c-aab2-9ca63a4f7014) Also, I am working on a completely rewritten version that makes use of all the great WP8 APIs. It should be ready very soon as well. Regarding the old WP7 version, I'll try to also fix some bugs there if it is still needed.

    Thanks to those who supported me all the time, to those who find the time to read this and sorry to all of you for taking so much time to return to this project.

    v3.3 is out: added Czech, Greek and Italian and fixed French again :)

    Thanks to everyone who sent me translations. Take a look at the about page ;)
