BatteryDash is your one stop shop that allows you to keep an eye on your battery and avoid being caught short.
Formerly known as Battery Extension (DashClock), now reborn complete with more features.
It consists of an app (duh!)
AND
a DashClock extension (need DashClock Widget + Android 4.2)
AND
a daydream (4.2 and above).
It translates the abstract battery percentage into TIME, i.e. how long will it take until you run out or until it is fully charged.
It is also highly customisable. We are always happy to add stuff people need, so don't be shy - email us and your idea could make it into the app!
What's next? We are working on standalone widgets, as well as notifications, for all ICS and JB 4.1 users.
DashClock extension shows battery information such as:
- charging level
- health
- temperature (in degrees C or F)
- voltage (in mV or V)
- charging state (charging, discharging, charged)
- time on battery or charging
- connection type (USB, AC, wireless, on battery)
- battery technology
- keyboard dock level (if available)
Can be set to hide itself when not needed and customised to only show information relevant to you.
Advanced features*:
- Show only when battery level drops below a set percentage
- Show estimated time remaining until battery is depleted or until charging completes
- Select what happens when the widget is tapped - open any app or shortcut
- Show health and temperature only if critical
- Notify when charging is complete (sound, vibration)
- Disable ads
*** Permissions ***
Internet permission is necessary to collect usage data (anonymously of course). Most of the apps you use are doing it. The purpose is not to spy on you, but gain insights into how the app is used to make it better! Also for ads.
Vibrate is used for notifications. This is turned off by default. Billing is for in-app purchases. Read phone state is for ad targeting.
Planned features:
- Translations (Spanish, French, Italian & more)
- Data collection, export and visualisation
- Better estimates of remaining time
- And many more!
* advanced features require an in-app payment

Saw the permissions changes and came to read reviews - seems as though the app has gotten significantly worse. Final straw for me, however, was reading the sarcastic and rude responses from the app creator to poor reviews and legitimate criticism. Uninsta

Don't see why everyone is complaining about the ads, doesn't interfere with anything I do. Gives cool info on your battery and looks cleans.

I was happy with this widget until it started to require access to my contact list. Why does it need that other than to take the information? Good bye.
