Description
Requires iOS 5 or higher
Compatible with iPad and iPhone (*iPhone users, be sure to read the limitations for this device below!*)
Did you ever got yourself trying to estimate the remaining battery time?
Powerleft is a tweak that customizes your status bar, and allows you to include an estimation of the remaining battery time near the carrier name, near the clock, and specially on the side of the battery percent.
More than that, Powerleft also allows you to put the carrier name and battery percent at the same time in the place of the clock, or the date in the place of the battery percent, or any combination and format you want (you can input custom strings).
Also, Powerleft can create an overlay window (which can be configured to show only when status bar is hidden) which stays discreetly in a screen corner, showing to you the remaining time, the clock, or any information you configure it to show (See screenshots).
Powerleft estimates the remaining battery time based on the current battery consumption. Whenever this consumption changes, the estimation is soon refreshed.
If you are using your device when it is charging, Powerleft will estimate how much time left until your device is fully charged.
This package includes a tweak, a SBSettings Toggle and a tool that shows remaining time estimation on the command line. It can be configured on Settings. Please send feedback to the mail on Settings page, suggestions are welcome!
Note:
Powerleft is notified everytime the internal registry with the battery charge changes. It doesn't keep checking every X seconds for changes (i.e. polling), so, you shouldn't worry about Powerleft's own battery consumption.
iPhone limitations:
1) Due to differences in iPad and iPhone batteries, Powerleft will take a longer time to fully reflect consumption changes.
This time can be reduced on Settings app, but would cost estimation stability (which is also a bit worse on this device).
Despite this difference being worth noting, the time to reflect new changes is still small, less than 5 minutes, by default.
2) For the same reason above, it's less precise. You can increase the average time length to account for that, but the limitation above will became more evident.
3) Remaining time until the device completely charges is not supported.
4) The overlay window is also not supported.
Options can be configured from the Settings app
Screenshots
Changes
Overlay window can now have a configurable distance from the chosen corner.
(You can, for example, configure it to show above the status bar, at a certain distance from the corner).
Option to hide Powerleft when the battery percentage is below a certain value.
New custom tag: abbreviated month name.
- iPhone is finally supported, thanks to everyone who volunteered for testing!! (Read limitations above!)
- New mode (Weighted average).
- You can configure Powerleft to use previous estimation when you turn backlight on, instead of waiting for a new
estimation, useful if you turn backlight on/off a lot of times (The weighted average mode is configured to do that by default).
Now, you only have to wait for an estimation after respringing!
- Option to configure the time format: \"HHh:MMm\", \"HH:MM\" or \"HH:MMh\".
- You can configure the amount of rounding the remaining time will have (or no rounding at all).
- Smaller changes
