Any other apps than frontveiw who show remaining hours of the battery life?

This was the only feature I liked with frontveiw, so I really dont see why I should buy it!
Is there any other app? thanks!

no app like that would be accurate at all i guess, for instance, if you played a game, used e-mail, used any app really, they would take battery life away, and that would be diffrent from standby-time

Well, its possible to calculate it! If you are good at math!

There cannot be one.

The Pxxx phones dont have an API provided by SE that can accuratly report the battery level. ITs not until it gets to 20% and then 5% that an application can know what the battery is.

As far as I know there isnt even an app that can show the current battery % apart from the phone one itself

I have been reliably informed that the P's have no API to actually show the battery level.

You may not use math att all.
I once did a C proggy in my Palm that recorded the battery level and the time stamp it was sampled.
When the battery ended, I went to Excel with those results and made a prety nice graph (the level was in no way regular)
Something can be done in the P that can *learn* from past experiences (history) of battery level, last charge cycle, phone use, etc and give a somewhat accurate time left based in past statistics.

I don't think it is posible to give you the accact time left for what ever batt, because there are to many factors involved, unknown factors to be more correct, for ex. use, network coverage, signal strengt even temp is important, so in my opinion every number they give you is more a gues than a fact, you can think you have 30 minutes left then you gona make a call whit low signal and after 10 min you battery is dead, thats a fact.
I have worked whit industrial batterys for over 15 years and there also is no accurate system as far as I know.

So stop looking you will not find it, but it is nice to have dreams.

Good luck every body.
