We need a good battery monitoring app

We really need an app that monitors battery usage and breaks the usage down by each individual item--cpu, screen, each app, etc.
It's a real pain to figure out what newly installed app may be causing excessive battery drain when you have many apps installed and there is no app that can tell use this information and from what I understand the developers aren't able to find a way to implement it either, thus the issue resides with webOS.
This is a major necessity in my opinion especially because webOS is designed for heavy multitasking.

You can send Pages and other iWork documents to DropBox with the WebDav function (sharing via a server) and the sharing options of Pages, Word or PDF are available to you. The good news is this is easily done via a service called DrobDAV. The bad news is there's a fee, but there's a free trial and an educational discount.
This article at Tech Inch explains it. If you rely on DropBox, as I do, and use Pages, etc on your computer, it's really great. Generally, iPad apps that support WebDav can send the doc to DropBox with this add-on.

There's also a free DropDAV limited service, but files are limited in size 1MB.
And of course Pages, etc can share to iDisk, which is being replaced by iCloud.

Battery monitor app that shows ACTUAL drain

I see a lot of battery monitor apps that show a huge list of what the remaining time would be using certain features. I don't know what good this list of time is when you have a combination of them running.
I am looking for a battery monitor that shows what is ACTUALLY running on my iphone and what percentage it is contributing to the ACTUAL drain of my battery. If I have the bluetooth, WiFi and ipod running, I would like it shown in a list and the percentage it represents to the load (and possibly what added time I would gain by turning it off)
If the load of something running is really insignificant or absolutely required to have the phone operational, then it probably is not worth listing.
I want to have the question QUICKLY answered:
What can I turn off that is presently running to increase the remaining time on my battery?

Basically anything and everything running on the phone consumes power. A better place to start would be ask yourself what are the minimum services you need to have running? Once that is answered, turn everything else off.
If the load of something running is really insignificant or absolutely required to have the
phone operational, then it probably is not worth listing.
No one here can answer that for you. Example: Wifi and 3G are essential for me. But you might not need either.

Need a good word processing app

Does anyone know of a good reasonably priced app that I can use to write documents such as is done in Word on the Mac. It would also be nice if it had a spreadsheet program to go along with it. However, I would like to save this on the home screen, if possible. I have Pages, but this will not save on the home screen.

I need a good DVD creator app for Mac

I have been researching DVD creator apps in the App Store and I am really not finding anything good. A large majority (80%+) have poor reviews and the others either have no reviews or the positive reviews are very suspect like the creators friends and family wrote them. I mostly need this as I work on iMovie projects and would like to share them with people who don't do You Tube or prefer to watch movies/video on their DVD player. I guess I missed out when Apple offered iDVD as standard software. If I see a trend of replies mentioning the same app I will check it out. I don't mind paying for it, I just want it to work.

I've requested this post be relocated to an appropriate Mac forum, rather than the iPhone Accessories forum.

I just need a good and simple app to organize my contacts. Any tips?

The application needs to allow me to create groups with the iphone itself and also send text messages and emails to those groups i create. Thank you.

After trying the app tacts (ugly dark visual and wouldn't let me create more than one group of contacts) and easy groups (has bugs in it), i finally downloaded
GROUPS (Qbix inc.)
It's working fine so far and you can remove the ads by telling your friends about the app. Enjoyed that also.

Need a GOOD desktop replacement app

I've been looking around a lot online looking for an app to replace my desktop background with a screensaver. I've found a few solutions, none of which work well. What i want is to have "arabesque" as my desktop background. Ive looked at "magicdesktopSwitch"
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/icons_screensavers/magicdesktopswitch.html
which has been the closet to what i want, but i cant seem to get it to start on startup. Does anyone know of any other way that this is possible? Thanks.

Ya, i sent him an email. Do you think there's anyway to get this to start automatically??? Thats about all its missing. I asked him the same thing, he just hasn't responded yet.

Good external monitor recommendations for T61?

I need a good external monitor for my T61, the bigger the better. I would prefer to keep the branding the same with Lenovo. Does anyone have any advice? Should I go with another manufacturer? The Apple displays are really cool. Does Lenovo make anything similar?
Thanks in advance.

Battery Monitor 2.2 not working after update to be...

Before i updated to Belle, there was no issue with the battery monitor. But after i updated and then installed Battery Monitor, it is kind of stuck on the loading screen for a long long time. it just keeps loading and loading. Dunno what is going on. Pls help.

Hello,
I had bought N8 on 7 January, 2011....It was working well...I had no battery issues, though battery was not as good enough as my samsung galaxy...But for one month (Current date:13 July, 2012, means about after 1 year and 5 months)...battery got fully failed and died now. I use it just keeping it in charge always...and do my work on internet. Though I am not a very heavy user (2 hrs a day on internet and use apps sometimes)...
When I don't use internet...it works for 30 mints hardly. And when I turn on internet it gets switched off in 2-5 mints.
Since day before yesterday, it is not working even while keeping it is in charge..it gets switched off in 2-5 minutes.
So I am not going to curse NOKIA for this because it won't help me. After belle update even it was giving backup normally. But just after 4-5 months...it started getting switched off after 30 mint of uses...then after 20 mint...then after 10....and now hardly 2 mints when it is on gprs 2g. I have never used 3g. When i use wifi...it works more than 5 mints but less then 10 mints.
Now...I need suggestion from you guys...should i buy new battery (I dont know about its cost in India, and a pathetic life of NOKIA 8 Phone merely for 1 and half year...stopping me to buy any new one)? Or should I try re-installing Belle from Nokia Suit? Do you think it is a software problem?
I am waiting for your replies with right suggestion....
Regards
S.L.

Battery Saver Apps---Suggestions Welcomed!

I've taken the plunge and purchased a new Samsung GNex. I want to start out right and monitor my battery usage on this new phone. My question for the community: What is the best battery saver/task killer app in the Market that won't crap my phone out and put me back into a tailspin like with my Samsung CRAPinate; I mean Fascinate! (tee hee!) I've looked at the Easy Battery Saver+Task Killer, Battery Monitor Widget Pro and the Battery Dr Saver plus task killer. I'm reeling over the unending list of claimed "this app saved my life" reviews.
So, has anyone had good luck or bad luck with these types of applications?

Those are great suggestions. Most of which I currently do. The only ones I cannot control are my emails. My Yahoo and Gmail do not allow me to manually set the sync option to 30 minutes to an hour. These apps are apparently coded to auto push emails. I can control my corporate email to sync at a designated time, but that's too important to set it to sync every 30 minutes to an hour. I need my corporate mail as soon as it hits the server since I'm not always in front of my laptop to read emails. Can the auto push be overriden in the Gmail and Yahoo accounts?
Gmail uses PUSH technology, so it doesn't use any more radio than the phone normally would. Do you use the Yahoo Mail app or use the stock email app on the Nexus? If you use the stock app, in the settings for your account, there is a place to set the amount of time from Never to every hour. To get there, go to Menu->Settings->Account(email name) Inbox check frequency. If you use the Yahoo mail app, then you will need to look through the settings to see where to change the check for new messages frequency.
What do you use for your Corporate Email? Does your company use Microsoft Exchange or another email system?
If the email is important, you want to leave the PUSH enabled (unless you get tons of spam). That way you only use the radio for email when an email actually comes in. My company uses Exchange, and the app that we use is Touchdown, set for PUSH. Sometimes I get 10 emails in an hour, and sometimes I get no emails in 10 hours.
Another way I save on battery, is that I have a power supply at home, at my desk at work, and in my car. That way, I always have power available to me (unless I am in meetings or in my wifes car) I never run out of battery power

Several issues on my Classic. Contacts, BB Link and Battery Monitor. Help + rant

Hello everyone,
Initially I wanted to make this post specific to my most recent problem (BB Link) but maybe I can get some help with all of my problems in one post.
1. Contacts display and Caller ID - my biggest problem.
I used gmail to sync my contacts when I switched from iPhone to Android and now on BlackBerry. I had no problems with the iPhone and the Nexus 5, but Contacts on BlackBerry is bad. Very bad. I thought that switching to BlackBerry I'd have 0 problems with calling people because it's a "serious" business phone, and business people really need the call function to work 100%. I have only 250 contacts and they are fully synced (2weeks now). I don't have duplicates.
I suspect that the culprit is "smart dialing". The "feature" I can't turn off. Maybe someone can set up smart dialing better than I can.
- I live in Romania so our Country Code is +40 .
- The rest of the number is xxx xxx xxx. (9 characters)
- so, a Romanian number is +40 xxx xxx xxx when dialing from abroad.
When dialing normally (national calls), we have to add the 0 from the country code in front of the phone number. That makes our phone numbers 0xxx xxx xxx. Due to this format, I've set the "National Number Length" to 10. (Same problem with 9). And we don't have an area code.
Just now I received a call from someone and it showed his caller ID. On the next call (same person), it didn't show the caller ID. In the Call Log, I could only see the number. I pressed info and it showed the name. Then I pressed back and the name was associated with the number again in the Call Log. (10 minutes after writing this i check my call log and I notice that there are some numbers that called but are missing right now from the log. its the 2nd time this happened. they will probably show up in the next few hours).
I also cleaned all my numbers and they all have the same format now. It is CLEARLY a blackberry problem. I had NO problems with caller IDs on iPhone or Android even though the format wasnt consistent through all contacts.
And why can't I just copy the numbers locally? I tried selecting all contacts and "Copy" to local but I just can't. Apparently because they are linked contacts. It shouldn't be this hard.
Also, why do I see linkedin contacts when I chose '"hide" in its menu?
2. BlackBerry Link - (and why isn't it integrated with blend anyway?).
- couldn't back-up over wi-fi. iPhone and android backup over wifi on their servers. I think i connected both of those devices fewer than 10 times total to my computer. Everything was done over wifi. Now i have to connect my blackberry weekly so it can backup? I don't mind that BB doesn't make a full backup on their server, but it should be at least possible to do so over wifi on my network. (or maybe I don't know how to do it?)
- photos. Instead of building its own library, or making it possible to sync directly with folders in my computer, BlackBerry Link uses the iPhoto Library (on my Mac) - which I DONT USE. So I set Iphoto properly, but Link doesnt detect the new updates to the library, I still can't find my specific folder in BlackBerry Link.
3. Battery. The battery monitor is completely useless. Once, after a full charge it showed me that I had 70% battery for 4 hours until it dropped under 70%. It is almost funny what I see in the battery monitor on a daily basis.
The battery life is ok, but I rely mostly on luck. Sometimes it would drop 10% in 10 minutes and then hold a 40% charge for several hours. I don't really know how much battery I have but it generally holds for 1 day so I'm not that worried.
The rant:
I wanted to have a BB for a long time. My gf had a 9900 and even though the camera stopped working randomly, it was very reliable. I used the Q10 shortly after it launched and I noticed at that time that I need more apps than BB World can offer flipboard, banking and just a few others, so I didn't make the switch then. Now with the classic, which has android runtime and the toolbelt (which i really liked on the 9900) I thought it's time to make the switch. But I find it surprisingly annoying exactly where I expected to see its strenght - reliability.
I don't mind the blackberry link part so much, or that android apps work a bit laggy. I expected that. But I DO expect to see who is calling me and to have a reliable battery monitor.
Other issues:
- it doesn't completely lock the buttons when in holster. why do I have to be careful how I position my phone in my pocket so I don't accidentally turn it off? Also the holster rubs against the volume down button when inserted (original BB holster).
- weird noises when I change the volume during a song or youtube video
- due to a bug in a webpage or in the browser, it used 600 mb in about 10 minutes while running as an active frame.
Apparently I blew off some steam. I really want to like this device. Hope future updates will make it better.
Edit: After a reboot the call log returned to normal....

First thing I would do is to switch the following off:
Contacts > Settings
Automatically Merge Contacts = Off
Unmerge Existing Contacts = On
Just to clarify, do you have all the contacts phone numbers in the format
+40 xxx xxx xxx ?
This would be ideal.

Know a good network management app?

Know a good network management app? We have a Time Capsule/router with multiple devices (MacBook Air, iPhones, iPads) plus other PCs when we have people visiting. Is there any way I can see what websites were visited through my WIFI and how much bandwith was consumed?
Ideally - I'd be able to monitor this on one screen - ie iPhone XYZ downloaded 200MB from YouTube, HP laptop downloaded 1.3GB on Skype, etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

No, the things you are asking are well beyond a time capsule.. which is a simple basic router.
Get a WNDR3800 netgear and load gargoyle firmware on it.
You need to recognise what you are asking of a domestic router is not available in any out of the box solution. gargoyle is extremely easy to load and works very well.
Plus it allows you to set quotas..

Install KDEMOD, cant find a battery monitor applet

Hi there,
I'm new to Arch... I've been an Ubuntu user for about two years now. I was attracted to Arch one very specific thing:
Rolling-Release... It just sucks to be stuck with the same old apps when everyone else (including the windows crowd) has cutting-edge features. So this just rocks in my book. I read that stability in Arch is good enough despite being extremely up-to-date so great.
While doing my research I of course tried gentoo... Which I dislike so much after being left without a computer for 2 days straight while emerge downloaded, compiled and installed gnome. I have a slow connection (200mbps)... Maybe if downloads where asyncronous to compiling it would be slightly better.
I'm also in love of apt-get. That's way I wouldn't give any distro a chance if they didn't offer a GREAT package manager. Pacman surpasses my expectations, I might have found a new love lol. It's lots faster than apt-get for installing programs, and so far I haven't got dependency errors.
Now KISS just rocks... for some things. I enjoyed a lot working on my .conf files. I had done a bit of it on ubuntu but there it is pretty much authomatized. As I said, I like it because it gives you more control and forces you to gain some knowledge of the system. And KDEMOD is awesome beacause of it, no bloat alright!
BUT: Where's my frigging Battery Monitor???!!! I live in fear my battery will die on me anytime... I usually consult it via /proc, but still, that isn't good enough. I think there should be a kdemod-utils-laptop or something to provide this kind of things... Any suggestions as what to do???

darn it, my first post should've been something better lol
Well the package in kdemod is called:
kdemod-kdeutils-klaptopdaemon
It works now

We need a good battery monitoring app
