tl;dnrGeekYouUp's Battery Widget for Android can be altered to reduce App Widget display update occurrences by as much as 40-65% (depending on device power use rate), without altering application functionality or otherwise hindering its ability to display the current battery charge level. Battery Widget's constantly running service, necessary for real-time monitoring of battery charge level changes, appears to use negligible resources and does not noticeably prematurely drain battery power. | Link To This Article  http://goo.gl/mscyj |
Following are links to the code of the fixed version of Battery Widget, logs of the svn differences showing what was changed from the original code, and a fully-built Android APK, ready to be installed on any Android device. This APK was built with a different package name, a different application name, and a different digital signature than the Battery Widget application by GeekYouUp. It can be installed in parallel with the original -- it does not replace the original Battery Widget application during installation.
