[Android Software Development] xf0rc3:
Does this app measure charging current supplied by the charger, or the one supplied to the battery?

In the first case the input voltage should be 5V while in the second case it should be the respective voltage supplied to the battery by the phone which can't be higher than 4.2-4.4 depending on the battery specs.

Right?

Yes, it should work on some devices if converted to a system app. On new Android versions (not sure if only Lineage or stock also has this issue), root is required to ready the battery files. I'm working on a new root version that does not require moving to system partition (but requires root)..

Thanks for the update, works great with rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 running Lineage OS lineage-14.1-20171213.

Edit: [MENTION=608864]abmantis[/MENTION] maybe you should change the Charging screen captures on your Galaxy Charging Current Free and Galaxy Charging Current Pro Google Play pages as they currently do not show any Maximum & Average values like in my attachments. Also add a Log & Settings captures maybe?

Re: Check if your device is charging at the maximum current

Hi mate, great app here. May I request that you put this on Google play. I'm looking for this kind of app there but there are no apps available for S3 with this functionality

I also have 2 cables destroyed. One is the original and other one is a cheap one. Both cables were used using the original outlet to USB provided by samsung.

Using those 2 destroyed cable, my s3 will charge but very slow! When I changed cable everything is back to normal

This app will tell us if we are using a broken cable or not. Awesome app

Thanks
[Android Software Development] abmantis:
The reason I had not put it on Google Play yet is because I will have to pay $25 to register a developer account on Google Play.

In order to compensate for that I will have to make the app non-free or put adds on it. Since the app is so simple, I don't know if it will even generate $25 of revenue.

But I will think more about that :)

Re: Check if your device is charging at the maximum current

I've long ago binned my stock charger because of the charging issues with both it and stock cables.

I've used an iphone charger and non Samsung cable for the last few months without issue.

I use fast charge for both usb and wall charge - set to 1000 and 1500 respectively to take advantage of the higher charge rates available from both my laptop's usb and the iphone charger.

I have absolutely no problem with charging but I checked with your app just to see what is going on:)

As you can see the first reading of current now reflects my settings.

I'm guessing that something else in the phone is limiting the the actual charge rate even though the available current is higher?

(BTW I'm aware that 900 is the actual maximum for usb)

Re: Check if your device is charging at the maximum current

Using this app I've discovered that the only usb cable that charges my s3 at full speed is the one that came with the phone, I have 2 other usb chargers along with the charging plug that came with the phone and this cable gives me a reading of 1000 with all 3, I did buy a longer micro usb cable not long after I got the phone as the original cable was a tad short but this longer cable gives the worse reading of all at only 200 so I went digging on Amazon for a spare usb cable and the one I got is the same length as the original samsung cable but the max that gives me is 800 so the question I'm wondering is, what's the difference with the original samsung cable compared to other micro usb cables that you can buy!
[Android Software Development] jmpmjmpm:
Re: Check if your device is charging at the maximum current

The thickness of the wire (thicker=more current) and quality of the metals used (solder, connectors, wire, etc) higher quality=less resistance=more current

[Android Software Development] Androssama:
A very useful app indeed, thanks OP!

I came from the Note II thread where a lot of people are experiencing similar issues and I just wanted to point you to the Perseus Kernel page (available for both S3 and N2). There you can find some information about the charging logic, the difference between the charging sources, and how the kernel (stock) reacts to variable currents. In short a great quick read to find your bearings.
[Android Software Development] abmantis:
Thank you very much for the info! Very interesting indeed, and it confirms my toughs on the current_max stuff.

Since the current_max is lowered when an unstable charging source is present, it means that the stock chargers are unstable most of the times! :eek:

By the way, can you confirm if the app works on the Note II?
[Android Software Development] amg009:
Re: Check if your device is charging at the maximum current

Well I can confirm, it works fine...
[Android Software Development] Androssama:
As stated above by amg009 the application is working just fine! Just a question/request: is it possible to change the background to pure black (and the font to white of course) since we're all running AMOLED displays so keeping the app running with the screen ON won't disrupt charging times? You already did already great providing us with this app and this may look like an OCD request lol, feel free to overlook it.

About the unstable current_max, it has to do certainly with the charger but also with the quality of the electric line. In my case I get different values when plugged directly to the wall or to UPS unit.

[Android Software Development] abmantis:
Thank you for your data.

The cable indeed seems to play an important role here, and the stock cable (at least the one from my S3) is rubbish. I've used another USB cable, one that is much thicker than the stock one, and the device always charges at 1000mA (which is the maximum output from the S3 charger). Using the stock cable it is hard to get anything above 800mA, and most of the times stays at 500mA. :(

Re: Check if your device is charging correctly

I left my S3 on the charger last night checked with the app it was 999mA , this morning i woke up and saw my phone still charging and checked status it was only 54/100 so i checked the app it was 500mA i upluged and pluged the charger still the same but when i restarted the phone i readed 1000mA and it was finished chargin in about 1hour.

Re: Check if your device is charging correctly

Unplug and replug the phone from the charger, not the charger from the wall. That will reset the charging to 1000. You might have to do this couple of times.

Thank you very much. I think the app only works on the Galaxy S3 and Note2, but it may work on other devices.

It would be nice to know on which variants of the S3 and Note2 the app does not work. So far it seems not to be working on the Sprint variant of the S3.

I also have this problem a lot of times. Some users suggest that rebooting the device may help. I think the problem is in part from the stock cable and in part (mostly) from the stock charger.

This app was made for the I9300 S3 variant. That thread you pointed is for the i747 variant in which the app probably does not work.

Also, the app simply displays the values provided by the device and It was tested and reported to be working on the i9300 by multiple users. What variant do you have? Also, what ROM and kernel?

What's the output voltage for that charger? Have you tried testing it with a multimeter? The charger could be providing more than the 800mA rated current.

[Android Software Development] Smartie36:
Re: Check if your device is charging correctly

When the app shows 1000 for the charging current my s3 takes around 2h 30 mins to fully charge from 10% yet if I use a poor quality usb cable where the app only shows 400 the phone takes just over double that amount of time to charge from 10%.

If the app is guessing the value then it's very spot on from my testing of charging times during my testing of various usb cables.

And, the app is merely reading ur phone and does not estimate. Its ur phone who decides the optimal current it will get from the charger depending on ur phone's analysis of the connected charger's output.
