Hi All,
I have been using 'Battery Monitor 3C' from a long time but on my Htc phones, now i installed it on Galaxy W, but amazingly its not reporting the correct current consumption values in his log.
Very random values are there, in idle mode it shows from 10mA to 200mA which is not correct. When the screen is ON , it shows 30mA or 50mA that is also not correct. I have checked none of my application is consuming current that can justify these values.
Moreover battery percentage is also not correct. i.e , It jumps from 55% to 25% and stays at 25% for a longer time period.
So hence my conclusion is that Stock kernel doesnt give the correct values for mA and % to applications.
Anyone can give details that is it the problem with Kernel or the Battery Monitor 3C ?
I would appreciate if anyone has used the current monitor on Galaxy W and he thinks that the reading are correct.
Thanks

Goodbye to such sayings like "My battery lasts 4-7 hours" or "about 10% per hour"
The value refreshes every 30 seconds at most!
Set the update intervall to 1 min and leave your phone for 10 minutes in standby to check the standby current.
Note: Unplug the charger!
Note 2: It seems that you need a working battery driver!
Download:
XDAndroid: ("MSM" as model number)
Search in the market for "CurrentWidget" or download the CurrentWidget_v0.16.apk from below and place it in /andboot/androidapps folder on your storage card.
Other versions:
For other versions than xdandroid (for example CM6 by neopeek) use the CurrentWidget_all.apk
Thanks to the developer Ran Manor!!

Is your battery meter jumping around? If yes you haven't got a working battery driver and it seems that you need one.

As far as I understand it's notan app it's a widget for the homescreen which should be added to it like any other widget. That's it.
Wondering if i am suffering from the volume bug See...
Charging overnight: http://i44.tinypic.com/9930j7.jpg - Yet my phone has been "awake"?!
After 2 hours: http://i41.tinypic.com/2dim6me.jpg - Discharge almost 20% already and you see the awake time?
After 4 hours: http://i43.tinypic.com/302tok0.jpg - Faint! 50% was drained in 4 hours!
My homescreen: http://i44.tinypic.com/260e6tx.jpg - You will say is my Beautiful Widget, but I removed it and still phone awake!
How can I troubleshoot?
Exchange Services is really high. You probably have a corporate account that is having sync issues, and keeps waking the device.

Yeah I do have a corporate email account. But it's set to push notifications should I receive any e-mail.
Run BetterBatteryStats to see what keeps it awake. There's no reason why Exchange services should be that much of your battery.

I think it is pretty obvious just by looking at your 2nd screenshot.
If u don't use Bluetooth (if ur rooted) , go to /system/bin and delete the file "bluetoothd" to fix wakelock
Edit: be sure to backup the file first

Yeah pretty sure it was the Corporate Email. I have since then remove the account and this is my result overnight from 100% downwards after 6 hours. VEry good results.
Thanks for your help.
My Exchange went nuts just like that, clearing the app cache didn't help but reflashing my rom over top again did, just cleared cache and flashed rom again and its back to normal, using 4% of battery or so on push...
Congrats on resolving your issue. Just to help others, is there any chance you know and could mention what o/s or version of exchange your work server is running? Exchange and/or the stock email app seems to be a problem for some but not for others. More info might just help someone isolate the root cause someday.
I did not flash. I just delete my account and readd it and it was fine after that.

Nice app. One question before installing though, does it just tell me if I need a battery replacement or not? Or I have to find out using the statistics it shows? Thanks!

Hello guys i dont know if it is posted already but , im having problems with my battery life im using my phone for a couple of weeks now. I tried to factory reset my phone but still, i also installed greenify to see if it is because of an app but NO. Basically i find that sometimes the battery peecentage drains so rapidly without me doing anything on the phone with my brightness at 0% and all other stuff like gps, sync etc turned off. Also another big problem is that the battery percentages skips i may be using my phone at 88% but suddenly it goes down to 84% thats really dissapointing.
I have heard people praise about the battery life of this phone which is one of the reason i bought it but now its not what i expected especially with the skips.
If you guys can help me do anything I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Hello,
please run this App "BetterBatteryStats". Post a screenshot.

Did you do a restore of previous apps or a clean re-install ?

Set GPS on battery saving. Use high accuracy only when required.

I did a clean re install , and i put my location services off since when i noticed the percentage skips and drain
Also i forgot to say that some times when i use the phone for some time say im at 49% then after switching off the screen for some time and coming back later sometimes it says 50 or 51%.

What does GPS say when you go to location.
Regardless of whether its off, ensure it says battery saving and not high accuracy.
Can you post some usage grabs. How much sot/runtime do you get on average, with wifi only, with data only and a mix of the two.
Also i forgot to say that some times when i use the phone for some time say im at 49% then after switching off the screen for some time and coming back later sometimes it says 50 or 51%.

Hello everyone,
I have noticed an absurd drop of the battery level when I'm using my device for usual applications such as Facebook, YouTube, etc...
When it's on 20% approx the battery reaches zero level in less than 10 minutes. This problem started when I have updated my device to the last firmware available (14.6.a.1.236)
I have re flashed the firmware 2 times via flashtool and the results are the same.
It could be an software or a hardware issue?
Thank you for your help :fingers-crossed:

Thank you very much!
My device has 13 months of use.
I use greenify in root mode, but don't have xposed.
I have used a calibration battery app and still have this problem.
May I use xposed in stock ROM without the risk of bricking my device?

Chances are it's a hardware issue and replacing your battery could fix it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...ttery-reporting-phone-dying-suddenly-t3095120
I had the issue where my battery would drop from >70% to 0% suddenly, and replacing my battery has fixed it completely.
Test disabling "Google Services", "Google Play" and "Get More" in accessibility settings. Also test disabling temporarly the Google Account "Search for threaths on the mobile" feature. I was having quite fast battery drain until I did this. It nearly takes twice as long time for each percent to go down. As for your sudden drop check if you got apps that could interfere. Apps that can modify the battery stats.
Btw I had same sudden drop of 5, 10 and even once 30% when screen was off. I thought it was the battery and it was like that for some months until I uninstalled official Facebook app. Now I dont know if the Facebook app was the reason or only reason but after that it has worked flawless for months and continues to.
I tried everything and the results are the same ?.
I think my battery is damaged. Right now my device is plugged to the charger. After 20 minutes of being connected, my device shows only 7%
