[Tip] How to analyze you battery drain

Hello all,
Here is my 2 cents contribution to all the people that are wondering why their batteries are out in 10 hours!
I would like to share my tool, and maybe get help with my code if people are interested.
MARKET LINK: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.WazaBe.android.BatteryDrain

}
The goal of my application is to show the battery drain in percent per hour.
This unit if for me the most important, I don't care about the charge level of my nexus.
So my analysis lead to:
5-10 % lost per hour when normal use.
more than 20% when on Youtube
about 1% (even less) during the night with wifi off.

Does it work on other devices running gingerbread??
Thanks for the app anyways!!

Yes, should work on any device, this app is really basin in term of code.

I just updated the app and removed thhe stupid graphs to have something more easy to read:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.WazaBe.android.BatteryDrain

Great idea! My suggestion would be to add an option to show how long it takes to lose 1% for each %battery.

Great app, but it doesn't seem to work with Force GPU Rendering On

Great idea, and here are my suggestions:
Feature to show summary
Something like this:
Start logging: [datetime]
Time now: [datetime]
Duration: [?d ?h ?m]
Average drain: 1% per X minutes.
Common phone settings:
* Brightness: ?%
* Airplane mode: ON
* WiFi: ON ?%
* 3G Data: ON ?%
* NFC: ON
* Sync: ON (5 accounts ... ) <--- if possible to check/stats
* etc.
----------------
When measuring WiFi/3G percentage, just check every 1% change whether it is OF or ON
The idea is to be able to make screenshot of this summary to compare with other user when discussing about battery drain.
You know, to make this tool as some kind of "standard" tool for battery drain measurement. That would be nice.

A lot of great suggestion, the main problem is to detect when wifi, 3G, Bluetooth, etc.. are ON during a lost of percent.. I will have to make a lot of approximations!
I will create a summary screen next week!

I'm using a GSM Galaxy Nexus that is running stock 4.0.2 thats unrooted and has a locked bootloader.
I downloaded the app from the market and initilly it didn't work with GPU Rendering. Since then, I believe you pushed an update? Now the UI is blue rather than white (a good choice) and now it does work with GPU Rendering on

Great start, love to see where this one goes.

DLed it. Will try it now..

As much as I hate to analyze my phone's behavior...
...I still understand that it is necessary to know what drains the battery.
So until we get better batteries in our phones, I applaud efforts like yours. TY.

Just to be clear, my app will never try to diagnose wich app is causing the drain, I don't want to make hasardous approximations...
My goal is to display the raw data in the most efficient way and to let the user make his own decisions and compare the drain with or without an app installed or some settings turned on off.
I will try to display only very accurate data only

Just a question...
Do you need a lot of explanation for the summary windows I just created?
I don't want to make a too complicated app and will now work on making the app nicer and more clear to understant, but I would like to know what id the most diffucult to understand from your side.
Thank a lot for your feedback.

I think those look good, just an easy way to see average drain. It would be quite cool if you could break it down with a couple of averages (kind of like you mentioned in your first post):
%drain during standby
%drain while in use
I like where your app is going so far. Keep up the good work!

+1 on this.

I will of course implement that feature.
But you have to remember that the standby/in use detection will be quite approximative.
I need two consecutive points with screen OFF to start counting standby.
As you may turn on your screen during the interval, I don't like that for my computations... I can add some trigger, but I want my app to be nearly invisible regarding battery...
By the way, please wait one week or 2 and you will have something!

I'm quite good with the standby/in use detection being approximated. I'm primarily interested in seeing a value indicating battery drain in standby for long periods of time (like overnight) versus during the day while I am frequently using the device.
Definitely looking forward to what you can cook up!

[APP] Barometric - Barometer app and widget for Galaxy Nexus

A good while ago, when I got my Xoom I almost finished a barometer app. Unfortunately the project was put away, but inspired by korr92's post today I decided to do some work on the app.
It is in early alpha, and there are still some bugs to iron out (see post below). But, I need feedback, so feel free to try it out.
Beware that I'm planning to release this as a paid app on the Market when (err...if) I finish it. But, it will stay free for a while, and I will post well before an eventual release so that you can download the app for free.
The regular app will update the pressure almost instantly, while the widget will update when the devices wakes up, or every 10 minutes if the device stays awake .

Changelog:
2012-01-22:
-Widgets are now available in both 2x2 and 3x3 sizes.
2012-01-17:
-Enabled hardware acceleration and made improvements to the application so that hardware acceleration works as it should
-Reduced size of images used. Smaller APK.
2012-01-16:
-Improved graphics both in application and widget. The barometer now contains text ("Stormy", "Rain", "Change", "Fair" and "Very dry") describing the weather associated with the current pressure.
-Reduced size of APK
-Main application now has a "historic dial", which can mark a previous pressure value. To set it just tap the barometer, and it will be set to the current value. It will be stored until you tap the barometer again.
-Widget will now update every 30 second when the device is awake. It will not update when the device is asleep, unless other applications update. If this happens the barometer widget will also be updated.
Known bugs:
-Sometimes the pressure will be show as zero (the dial points straight up). This is some minor bug that I have yet to track down, where the service that updates the pressure is getting killed before the pressure is received.
Update: I think I have solved this now.
Planned features:
-Set the altitude, as this influences the pressure
-Mark in the barometer the corresponding weather for pressure values (e.g. illustration of a sun when the pressure is high) (DONE)
-More widget sizes (DONE)
-Graphing feature
-Trend
-Pressure reading in text
-Whatever you may suggest

Did you experience the bug I listed in the second post? It seems like it is rather inconsistent, and a little harder to track down than I thought.
I will try to get some work done on the app tonight, hopefully accompanied by the upload of a new build.

Theres no Widget

That's strange. I did a clean install on my Xoom, and the widget is there. It also works in the phone and the emulator(s). Is the widget missing for anyone else?

Hope you iron out this, looks like it could be amazing.

I'm pretty sure, you must disable "force GPU-Rendering" in your dev-settings like in the other Barometer-App, too

Hardware acceleration is a good thing, so I have now explicitly enabled hardware acceleration, and made the necessary adjustments to the app so that it works with hardware acceleration. In other words, a new build is out.
Regarding failed downloads: I suspect that the downloads from XDA are not always stable. Have uploaded the build to my Dropbox account as well. Download link can be found in the first post.
Now, off to my day job. Next feature coming up is input of your altitude, so that the barometer is calibrated.

Gonna try it. Will report back later this day!

Here is the sense 4 clock ported for our One X, It has been resized and fully edited by me to look 99% like the real thing.
The only thing missing is the animation and the sense forecast style, you still get a forecast though if you click the weather icon.
You can use this in any launcher you like, Apex,Nova, GO etc etc..

Lower brightness possible?

Good day everyone,
When using my device in low light surroundings, i tend
to experience the brightness as too high, is there any
way of lowering the minimum brightness?
I'm running the note2core std kernel, stock debloated
dlk7 rom (rooted )
I have tried the following with ROM Toolbox pro;
Go to build.prop editor
Found the value "ro.lcd_min_brightness"
Standard value was 20, lowering this number did
nothing for me, i tried 15, 12, 5 and 0..
I have also tried lowering this value whike using
another kernel like stock, redpill and N.E.A.K.
And also not working on stock ROM..
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot

Screen Filter is good, but it doesn't really lower the brightness. It applies a filter which makes the display darker. Any screenshot you take will be darker. But other than that, it's perfect for low light situations

I like this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsInB0LmJiYXJhby5uaWdodG1vZGUiXQ..

My vote is for Screen Filter. I have used rt every night and every morning for the last 2 years. Never any problems.

Let's change my question;
Is it hardwarewise possible to lower
the minimum brightness? If so, please share

I wondered this too and I'm surprised that there hasn't been a mod/tweak to allow you to get the brightness as low as possible without the use of apps. I've tried everything from editing build.prop to decompiling framework-res.apk, but nothing to seems to really work.

This is likely done on purpose. Imagine the frustration of going outdoors and your screen was set so dim that your phone is useless until you can see enough to raise the brightness.

Nope, lux definitely works by adding a filter in sub-zero mode. Not that this matters except when taking screenshots because as I said before, on an OLED screen this is essentially the same thing. But thanks for the recommendation, lux is a very nice app.

You could try edit the build. prop and set the minimum brightness level to something like 10. By default its 20. Quickest way I use is the build. prop Editor in rom toolbox.

Best DPI for Galaxy Note 2

I was wondering what is the best DPI for my Galaxy Note 2, I tried other people's suggestions but it didn't work for me so I was wondering how Google decided on their DPI. Considering they're in charge of Android they must know the optimal level so I used the Nexus 7 and the Nexus 4 as reference:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So if Google designed a 5.5 inch screen device with 720x1280 resolution, it would most likely be at 270 DPI
I know this won't help a lot of you how it helped me but just thought I'd share it just on the hunch that it might at least help the 1% :silly:

Obvious you didn't check Wikipedia yourself, not that's academically reliable in any way but DPI is a unit of measurement for printer resolution not for display resolution. It's like saying a football field is 100 litres long er something.
So take your own advice and refrain from further posting. We will appreciate it very much.

Ok. I gave you the chance to research, but well... DPI is the pixel density of your screen that can be soft-modded to make your display "look" different. There are many apps that can actually change your DPI. Note 2's DPI is 320 by default. 240 DPI is the best one IMO for this type of screen size.
With all due respect, there are thousands of forums in XDA where this topic is being discussed.

Hmm, I did it through the physical screen and I got 267.02 PPI, so we're still dangerously close to the same number mines just rounded lol, thanks a lot for the input though I really appreciate it :highfive:

With any DPI change the phone app loses proportions but with 270 it's easily passable only thing that changes is the dial pad is smaller and more to the left, but yeah nothing "all messed up" :fingers-crossed:
I suggest you try it though, give it some time and it feels premium
Edit: Oh and if it bothers you leave the phone app how it is, I use the Xposed Framework method so I get to pick what I want changed, very useful look it up

How about any other apps that have problems, I have heard there is a problem with the camera app, with a dpi change and the play store.

Change the system ui with the xposed app settings. Then you won't have to worry about apps messing up. You can choose which apps you want to change.

So if we change the systemui to have the dpi of 270, what resolution shall we change it too, (default).

You don't have to change the resolution if you don't want to. I think that gives you tablet ui. Not sure though.

Looks good thanks, I changed the resolution on the Gmail app too, 1280x800 and got the tablet ui, it looks great.
Nova seems to have a small gap between the top of the screen and the notification bar, that's with the systemui's dpi changed to 270 and Nova changed to 270, is this normal.
