Anyone know of an app like the HTC Battery Widget
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.htc.rosiewidgets.battery
but compatible with our phones that can display the battery in mAh instead of % percentage like 99% of all the Apps floating in Android Market?
hmm... this one sort of show mAh although it's mislabelled as mV

same with this one

They're not mislabeled. Battery voltage goes down as it discharges.
EDIT: See the third paragraph under "Technology" here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_polymer_battery#Technology
The GPS Status app also shows battery voltage.
I charged my Samsung extended battery to full then reset the battery stats but my battery reporting is still terrible after 3 days. As soon as I unplug it from the charger it is automatically at 98% and drops quite rapidly.(~3% every 5 minutes of active use)
Would allowing the battery discharge to automatic shutoff alleviate this problem? That hasn't happened naturally yet
That can be normal behaviour. Mine does it sometimes too. 95% and up on any phone will be that accurate. As for your drainage problems, your phine is doing something heavy duty in the background. And/or you are running full brightness. I am getting 4.5 screen time on average. I was able to get over 5 hours this weekend. For me to get 3% every five minutes i have to be playing a game or been downloading a large file over cellular data.

Seems like you either have a bad device or you have an app or two that is killing you. Something that gets push notifications for example, like a messenger or something similar

I have been experiencing this as well, my stock 1850mA battery seems to outlast my extended 2100mA battery by about 20%. Has anyone else seen this behavior? I have been thinking that maybe I got a bad battery.

I have just installed Battery Monitor Widget as recommended in a battery related thread in this forum, and it is showing my extended battery as having 1750mAH. I don't know why and I'm not sure what to do to fix it, and my battery life is pretty awful.

Battery Monitor Widget allows you to manually change the battery capacity.
Touch the gear symbol, select ""Monitoring", then "Battery capacity". Enter 2100 if you have the CDMA extended battery.
Yes, I saw this - but if it's getting the capacity from the phone, and the phone is reporting 1750, isn't something wrong? Doesn't that mean it will stop charging the phone prematurely because it thinks it is at max capacity?
In fact, I just remembered the stock battery is 1850 mAH so I have no idea where the 1750 is coming from...
Thanks for your reply.

its coming from the GSM version because it has a 1750 mAh battery.
battery monitor widget is not pulling from the chip inside the battery, it is just guessing your capacity because it knows its a galaxy nexus. hence you have to manually enter your correct capacity into battery monitor widget yourself.
also remember this fuel gauge is not capable of giving current readings. so battery monitor widget is guesstimating current based on extrapolating the drop in your percentage among other tricks the developer uses.
Thank you very much for your reply. It makes sense what you're saying, I took the setting in BMW literally as it states:
"Override capacity provided by phone"
Thanks to both of you for the help. Now I still need to find out why my battery life is sooooo bad...

from a terminal, you can dump system power statistics.

the mLocks at the very bottom should be 0, meaning nothing is preventing your phone from entering deep sleep.

Hello
I have the following problem: i changed my original battery with an extended one (7000mah) and my LG reads the battery juice right until 5%. After that it just fluctuate between 4 amd 6 percent but I can use the battery like for another day. I assume it reads the original size of the battery (3000mah) and no matter how big is my actual one it just stops reading at 5%, where the original battery should probably die. I have tried to reset the battery stats with root apps but no gave any acceptable result. Is there a way to make my phone correctly read the bigger battery mah, hence the correct percentage?
Thanks to anybody who can help me with this problem.
My phone is an LG G4 (h815) with H-Rom Nougat on top of it.
Hi there, I have bad OCD lol and on all phones have found ways to remove the battery percentage, but the mate 20x is different, bootloader locked, and can't find a non root way of doing it, I don't mind the stock battery icon, but hate the percentage next to it... I'm on evr-L29 and 9.0.0
I don't remember not having that option to hide Battery Percentage. Although I have AL00 but it shouldn't be different. Go to Setting - Battery Percentage.
The Battery Drain Very fast Is This Normal ?
I'm on Official 12.0.8 Global
This forum feels dead before it even came to life. Im no android pro by any means. I don't have any such issue but, please provide more details. When did it happen? After first boot? How long does it last? Have you checked in battery statistics to check which apps drain battery the most? What are they? And also your miui version
debloat thats the only thing you can do for now
Just writing that the battery is somewhat draining fast, leaves very open why this could be or whether it is just interpretation.
For me battery feels extremely well on miui 12.0.4.0 RKQEUXM.
Such that I can use the phone for two days straight under light usage and charge somewhen on the third day.
Provide better info, like screenshots of the battery graph and app list where you see which app drained which percentage of the total.
Or use apps that analyze further, like better battery stats or such.
You can also compare usage to other phones with comparable battery capacity, etc.
This could give a clue.
But other than that, such statements are rather irritating and the best suggestions are just, provide more info or do something general like, yes, debloating.
Turn off miui optimizations in developer options.its effect on your battery drain.i try it for my self
