Battery tile?

[Bure]

Since I have a Lumia 800 and have encountered the battery issue I wonder if there is any battery tile app around?

I'm very new to Win Phone so don't verbally beat me up if it's a stupid question

Hi there Bure, certainly not a stupid question, no question is too stupid at WPC.

There's no app that I know of with an indication on the tile of the batteries remaining power, if that's what you meant.

Perhaps apps don't have access to that part of the system yet, not too sure.

If anyone knows of one, please do share.

Yes that was exactly what I meant, a live tile that shows % or something.
Because of the bug in Lumia I now need to go into settings and mess around to see how much battery that is left.

I see, so is your little top battery indicator still broken?

The latest update has fixed some and broken others I think i was reading somewhere.

The only one I know of is Battery Status (v4.6.1.0) problem is you have to be developer unlocked to install it.

I use Battery Status & it works well. Can be set to update every 10mins or 30mins & also has a graph of the battery usage & other settings. The dev has done a sterling job on this. As the post above says, your device has to be dev unlocked to be able to deploy the xap file.

For the people that have a windows phone 8, after the battery problems I had with my HTC 8x I developed this one:

Battery tile & log.
A battery tile and battery logger app.
You can download it for free:

Kind regards,

Dear Koen,

It's exactly what i'm looking for, but your program is only for WP8. Is it possible to make one compatible with WP7.5 (lumia 800)?

Thanks,
Kyte
