Battery App that shows charging rate - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After using snap kernel for a while and being able to see the rate my evo is charging I figured it would be easy to find another battery program that would let me know how many milliamps my phone is consuming and the rate it is charging, but I have yet to find one after downloading a hundred off the market... someone throw me a bone here

Apple? I assume you mean app

Well if you want to do math calculations, you could use JuicePlotter I guess.
We know 100% = 1500 mAH.
So if your phone charged 10% (150 mAH) in 1 hour, then the charging rate was 150 mA.
So basically you can come up equation like this:
Charge rate (in milliamps) = (%age charged * 15) / (time charged in minutes / 60)
Simplifying:
Charge rate (in milliamps) = %age charged * 900 / time charged in minutes
Edit: Sorry made a math boo boo.

if you have aLogcat it gives the current in there, other than that I think there was an app someone was working on in one of the other forums but I dont think there is anything in the market for that.
try searching in the nexus or desire forums

On market, Current Widget.

I know my ohm's law circle, thanks though.
Edit:
That sounded *****y. seriously though, thanks for your time, but I am a computer tech, have been an electrician, have done some engineering work, so I already could figure it like that, I just wanted a specific readout at any given time.

First 10% battery drain

I'm noticing on gummy and other roms I try that the first 10-12% drops fast then slows down to normal. No matter what kernel I try this seems to be the case. Anyone have any idea or maybe you could school me? Thanks community
I've wiped stats and tried to open and close camera, super aggravating!

When your phone is on the charger, it will charge to 100%. After it hits 100%, it will remove itself from the charger and run on battery. This will go down to a certain percentage (maybe 95%, maybe 90%), at which point the phone will reattach itself to the charger and charge back up to 100%. The drop you are seeing is when you take the phone off the charger while it is in the midst of one of these cycles. I would assume it still shows 100% battery but drops down to what it's really at.
Thanks but my battery doesn't get consistent until around 90 and lower so I'm sure your rite but why does charge to 100%
On my nexus s it stoped at 95-96%?

One way around it is to unplug it for a second and then plug it back in to top it off.
Or charge it while it is off

It's really not an issue, it's just how it works. It gets to 100% and instead of charging more and frying itself, it stops charging. When you take it off the charger at 100%, it's not really at 100%, it's somewhere in between 90 and 100. The reason it says 100 is that if you let it charge all night and it said 93% in the morning you'd have already called to Samsung to complain, as would have everyone else.
The HTC thunderbolt did this as well. To protect the battery, once it reaches 100%, it stops charging. Then once it hit 95% or somewhere in the 90s again I believe, it kicked back on. You have to bump charge. Though I believe once I started installing custom roms, the issue seemed to disappear. So maybe its in the code or something.

Seriously, bump charging will destroy your battery health.
Every phone does it. It is to protect the battery's life.
Batteries suffer when they are 100% charged and when they are really low.
That's why when you get a brand new battery is it charged about 50% because it extends the battery's life while in the shelf.
When I disconnect in the mornings it's always 97 or 98%. who knows when it stops charging in the middle of the night. but from 98% to 75% it is really quick. maybe because during that time I'm on the train listening to music and browsing the internet at the same time.
With iphone 4, I always disconnected at 100% in the mornings and after the train ride the battery was around 88%.

He was just saying that if you put your phone on for a full night of charging and woke up to see it was at 93%, you'd probably assume something was wrong and call the manufacturer. Chill out, he's not insulting or mocking you...
I didn't leave it on all night but he was a little offensive by basically calling me a complainer by saying did I call samsung already
I just wanted to known if my problem was rom or kernel or maybe even hardware but coming to find out that my GN is just like that was a bit of relief. I've owned a galaxy s,nexus s but this was the first time I've seen a Google samsung battery charge behave like this. No biggie was just curious

In the long run maybe a little, for how long most people keep their phones it won't matter though. This was actually something HTC recommended we do for the Evo 4G cause it was the exact same way.
I actually did have one of my batteries discharge too much to where it wouldn't come back, but all I had to do was take it in to Sprint and they gave me a new one for free.

I don't know how you got that from what I wrote. I was just saying that if you woke up and the battery said 95% after charging all night you'd think something was wrong with the phone, as would everyone else. The reason it says 100% is that the phone manufacturers don't want to explain that it's not a problem to a million callers a day.

The same thing happened to my brother's G2.
Then I remembered, It can be brought back to life either with high voltage or high current. I plugged in to my Touchpad's charger (which is 1.3 amps I think), and the miracle happened. It returned from the dead.

Not true.
The best thing for a Lithium Ion battery is to keep constantly charging it as much as possible. These are not the old nickle batteries of ~10 years ago. The internal circuitry inside your phone's charging system is what keeps the lithium cell in it's "happy range".
However, once a cell is outside of it's "happy range" one of two things will happen:
1) Thermal run-away; this is when an overcharged cell begins to generate it's own heat by consuming Lithium, creating more heat, consuming even more Lithium, creating even more heat, etc... When you hear of people's laptop batteries catching on fire in airplanes or where ever, it's usually because of thermal run-away.
2) Cell depletion; if a cell is discharged too low it looses it's ability to retain a charge. It's not a "Hmmm... my batter doesn't seem to hold a charge as long anymore" like the old nickle batteries, but it won't hold ANYTHING at this point.
In closing, there is nothing wrong with "bump charging" your Lithium battery. The charging circuitry has been HEAVILY scrutinized and tested for safety measures and will never overcharge your cell (assuming the HW is opreating correctly).

Condition/Break In Li-Po battery

From what I read, the LG OG has a "Li-Po" battery. When 'breaking it in" or "conditioning" it, is it best to run it all the way down (to zero or 1%) or is it best to recharge when it's "mostly" depleted (10%, 20% or some other level)?
Recharge when mostly depleted. Lithium ion polymer batteries don't like being totally discharged.
I've run it down with battery conditioner and then trickled charged for 6 hours... Did this three times now getting 22+ hours real world and about. 7.25 hours screen on at 61% brightness.

Thanks. That was my understanding about "modern" batteries, but I wanted to be sure since all of the literature seemed to indicate that this was a different beast, but none of the write ups addressed the matter of properly conditioning it.
Is it detrimental to leave the device charging overnight? (having it connected to the charger for several hours after reaching 100%) And, is there an app recommended for deep cycle / trickle charging?

Good information to know. Thanks.
[OT] Although, "Li-Po" makes me think of liposuction. Can we call it "Lion-Po" instead? :silly: At least "polymer" only has one 'o', or it could be "Lion-Poo."
More seriously.... I think I'm going to have to call it Li-Pol or Li-Poly.

It is called LiPo for short, I have been an RC helicopter enthusiast for a few years now and that's what I fly with. With those batteries it is best to discharge until it is around 30% and recharge, but then again those are helicopters.
I am going to get mine tonight are you saying they can fly like a helicopter? Wow

Hey I got the same phone and don't want to mess up the battery like I did with my old phone -_- Such a nightmare..ended up carrying the usb cord around until I got a second one to leave at work.
For the initial charge (right out of the box), did you run it down completely and then charge? Or charged fully first? I read on other sites that you're supposed to charge 7-8 hours on initial charge regardless of what the phone reads, did you do that?
thanks!
No its not
The battery controller stop charging at 100% and switching power source from battery to AC
how do i fix?
My battery keeps skipping percentages :/ this is a new phone too

Can the maximum voltage be removed(3.7v)

Elephone has limited the battery voltage to 3.7, I'm not 100% sure if that limits the charging too. If it does limit charging, is it possible to remove the limit as a big battery needs a lot of charging time, mine takes 3 hours with a 2A 5V samsung charger and about 4 with elephone charger.
I'm not sure if the voltage limit can be removed, but considering how big the battery is, I'd say 3 hours isn't bad at all to charge from very low to 100%.

Elephone advertised it can be fully charged in 90 minutes, of course I don't expect my phone to do 0-100 in 90 minutes but it should be able to do less than 3 hours(double the time advertised)

They have set that charging rate for the fastest most reliable,any higher could cook the battery?

yeah , calculate accurate and post it :good:
Mine went from 6% to 62% in 59 minutes today. It reached 100% after about 100 mins. Stock charger and stock cable. You have to look for the double lightning bolt symbol in the battery icon to know that it's charging rapidly. The fast charging only works with the stock charger. I tried charging with my Nexus 6P charger which charges that phone quickly but didn't charge my Honor quickly.
The company has made a claim that it takes 1 hr 50 min to completely charge with their OEM Charger. So I am sure that the QC3 works fine since the battery capacity is also 4000mah. Other phones with 3000-3300mah charge within 1 hr 30mins coz they have substantially lesser capacity.

just sharing the stats from last night:
22:51 @ 5%
23:02 @ 13% (11mins; +8%)
23:42 @ 50% ( 51mins; + 45%) // (40mins; +37%)
it does look like we can get about 100% in 2 hours.
and sorry, didn't continue with measurements coz i was already zzZZZzzZZz... tiring day.
Next time if you experience slow charging you can try flipping the cable 180 degrees and try. Because that's what I've noted and even @venugopalu007 also experienced similar thing.
I use Ampere from the playstore to test the voltage on all my phones, so I can figure out what connections work best.

I am also noticing the same thing. This is weird.
Mine can definitely go full charge under 2 hours charging from about 10%, BUT only if I don't touch it at all. If I use the phone at all during charging it charges at a literal snail's pace even if I open low power app like an ebook reader. Screen is always set to around 35% brightness, and I'm using stock in the box huawei charger. Ampere gives it a reading of 1060mA then it goes down to 600ish mA and it does display the doublebolt in the battery icon . Is that normal? At times it can charge for 40minutes while I'm using a game app and it barely increased 1%(screen on) While my sister using a micro USB charger on her xiaomi redmi note 4, had no severe slow down on charging times even when playing intensive games while connected to the charger( Same battery size I believe).

Battery health with accu battery. New phone but not full capacity

Hello team
I'm coming with a question regarding the battery of the nubia read magic 5S.
I have been with the phone for less than one week and I am checking that the battery capacity is not the same as the one that is stated by Nubia. It should be 4500 mah but I have 4000 according to the accu battery app.
Can someone please double check this capacity in your phones?

the Capaacity on mine is quite good. i think less than 3% when full its 4370mah or around that the last time i checked.
its possible you've charged it at poor intervals. and maybe used a speed charger of some kind.
for the health of the battery and to test. do this for the next 3 or so days.
during the day try to get the phone to around 5% (no lower than 3%) try not to do this fast like with gaming heavy or whatever.
then connect to a slow charger 2 or 3 amps max. and allow to charge to 100% without using the phone. allow 10 minutes grace time after the phone is fully charged to allow the battery to cool a little.
then again use the phone as you would, up to 5% again. and repeat the process 3 times. then check your capacity. that will be your real capacity. if you follow those steps exactly.

it may be best then to contact nubia or the seller you bought the phone from. if the battery is faulty or old is should be replaced. its very odd that the battery is not the rated 4400mah especially for a device that is just new. a small discrepancy like mine 2-3% is usually alright for something left in storage for 2-3 months after manufacture. but if you're past a large amount of capacity in such a short time, its possible that the battery is faulty and will need to be replaced.
do try other battery monitor apps incase your app is giving false readings. But I would contact Nubia about a warranty repair. if you bought it directly from Nubia, @JerryYin may be able to help forward your request.

then connect to a slow charger 2 or 3 amps max. and allow to charge to 100% without using the phone. allow 10 minutes grace time after the phone is fully charged to allow the battery to cool a little.
then again use the phone as you would, up to 5% again. and repeat the process 3 times. then check your capacity. that will be your real capacity. if you follow those steps exactly.

Hey guys,
Long time accubattery user here.
You'll have to uninstall the app and re-install it before trying the above.
The estimates are not great for long term information but benefit more over long term (months).
If you want a fast reading, try the above but also check your estimated capacity on the main screen (charging), go to the bottom and you'll see it there. Make sure your phone is fully charged first.
My estimated capacity was 4000mah originally, but now I'm showing 4545mah (on the 5G, not 5S).

do try other battery monitor apps incase your app is giving false readings. But I would contact Nubia about a warranty repair. if you bought it directly from Nubia, @JerryYin may be able to help forward your request.

Thanks so much
May I ask what is your on screen time with a full charge and what screen frequency you are using?

My screen on time is 5 hours 58 minutes, that's on 144hz always with the custom Kernel to overclock the GPU to 900mhz.

The battery capacity have a bug that will cause most of the software can't identity all the capacity. This should be fix in future update.

Please fix:
1. Ongoing app notifications such as my weather app showing app icon instead of weather info, same goes for
other apps such as emails, missed calls, messsages etc. where it only shows app icons instead of proper info
2. DTS X crashes on bluetooth headphones everytime, works OK with wired, but come on, it's 2020, everything's
wireless these days.
3. Every few days you need to clear "Bluetooth system app's" cache otherwise it stops connecting with paired
devices.
4. Can't set up default apps at least not all of them
Thanks in advance.
