from the FAQ :

6. My phone always measures 0. What can I do?

You can try to select the other measurement interface in the following way:

On Lollipop (or later devices) first select the “Old measurement method”:

⇒ Settings ⇒ Basic settings ⇒ Old measurement method

Try to select the correct measurement interface:

⇒ Settings ⇒ Basic settings ⇒ Measurement interface

The “Measurement interface” option will be only shown if 2 or more pre-Lollipop (old) interfaces have been found on the device.

so if measurement interface is not present, your out of luck...

you will have to contact your rom dev so they can add the proper interface...

is this normal? i thought the maximum for nexus 5 is 1200?

not using official charger, does this mean the charger i'm using is faulty and will potentially break my battery/device? i use the following product to charge my devices:

Working pretty great on Sony Xperia Z3 (D6633, Lollipop).

But I would like to ask for a feature. When keeping notification ON just for charging, It would be nice to kill the service when the phone is not charging. Use a broadcast to start the service again when the user plugs the phone to charger.

It drives me crazy when I see a service running without reason.

[Android Apps and Games] Philip:
What does "Charge Rate" mean?

I'm running the paid version of Ampere on my Nexus 6 (5.1.1 build LMY47Z).

When I look on the main screen there is one entry, "Charge Rate" which has a value of "Normal" when I charge the phone through the microUSB socket, but "None" when I am using a Qi wireless charger (even though the phone is currently charging at around 400mA).

I can't find any mention of this value anywhere, so I'm not even sure what it is meant to be indicating, but the value when charging wirelessly makes no sense to me.
[Android Apps and Games] zadigre:
charge rate will show "turbo" when you are using a Qualcomm Quickcharge 2.0 charger and a good usb cable (like the one included with the Nexus 6 box).

When using a regular charger, it will show "normal".

when charging with wireless or not charging at all, it will show none.
[Android Apps and Games] Philip:
Thank you very much for the extremely rapid response.

Can I please make a couple of suggestions:

1) Include this information somewhere in the documentation - perhaps in the FAQ? Unless it's already there, and I've missed it...

2) Change the word "None" to something else ("Qi"? "Wireless"? "Slow"?) for wireless charging. As it stands, it's confusing (and inaccurate).

[Android Apps and Games] mike2nl:
I will add my self to the users who reports about ampere.

First, a big Thank You for the idea and app. Works outstanding for me.

What is use is:

ROM = OmniRom 5.1.1 from golden-guy

Kernel = F-Kernel from Freddy (always the latest)

Phone = S3 mini, GT-I8190

Discharge = OK, min -130mA, max -230mA, ~ -230mA

Charge = OK, min 140mA, max 140mA, ~ 140mA - accu on 70%

Notification = OK, also Icon only

Have to wait until the accu is nearly full. Will report later...

Idea:

A widget will be cool....

Hi!

I purchased Ampere for one reason only. To track battery charging during drive, with navigation turned on.

From time to time, my phone spends more battery than charger can supply and then I need to lower screen brightness.

Ampere works fine, but i have difficulty reading small numbers in status bar during drive.

Is it possible to implement color coding for stats bar text?

something like:

- discharging: red

- charging 1-99 mA: yellow

- charging 100-199 mA: cyan

I've been using Amepere ( last version ) with my OPO with 5.1.1 ( sultanxda cyanogemode 12.1 ) CAF from 17/10/15 - in the past few days.

I've used 3 or 5 different chargers ( and that's include the original one with the original cable ) but it nevers reach more then 1.1A ... even with proper charger ( original ).

Sometimes ( the original charger from galaxy note 4 ) or apple ipad - that is supposed to work with 2.1 or higher amp ... always show 1.1A on my ampere.

Is that accurate ? true ... it means its working with half of the charge capactiy ?? tried other roms ( like COS 12 and COS 12.1 ) and the result is the same ...

ampere bug or all my roms are buggy ?
[Android Apps and Games] nihil0:
The charging current depends on many-many things:

- Charger and charger electronic

- USB cable quality

- USB slot and plug quality

- Battery type and quality

- Charging electronic in the battery

- Charging electronic in the phone

- The state of the phone (on or off, gps, wifi, mobile network, etc.)

What ampere does is just show you the measured charging current (current into/from the battery and not into/from the phone).

I think no matter which firmware you have, the above components can't be changed with a software change.

[Android Apps and Games] marshall.cze:
I've noticed one interrested thing when charging (during testing some C2C cables). When I'm repeatedly connecting my original Google's A/C typeC chager, readings give always different values of maximum possible USB current - very often less than 3000mA (meanwhile other apps show value 3000 which is the teoretical maximum). With some crappy C2C cables even less. I dont understand what it does mean and how do you compute the maximu possible USB current. Can you give me a clue?

How is voltage calculated?

I tried looking in those files on my device, but they are shaky and have different values:

[Android Apps and Games] marshall.cze:
The value I'm talking about is max. possible USB current and it is measured at the time of plugging the cable (and I would like to know what does it exactly mean when for the C-C cable it reads less than 3000mA). It is definitely something different than the instant current (voltage_now).

Avoid saturation charge

Hi.

Apologizes if this has been covered before but I checked the FAQ and didn't see this question.

I'm reading that lithium batteries should not be charged to 100%

Li-ion does not need to be fully charged as is the case with lead acid, nor is it desirable to do so. In fact, it is better not to fully charge because a high voltage stresses the battery. Choosing a lower voltage threshold, or eliminating the saturation charge altogether, prolongs battery life but this reduces the runtime. To achieve maximum runtimes, most chargers for consumer products go for maximum capacity; extended service life is perceived less important.​

batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries

Question: Is it a best practice to charge only to some lower percentage to avoid saturation charging?

This could be done by setting a "battery full" alarm of 60% or 80%.

Question: Would the ability to set cell voltage alarms better meet this goal?

Nexus 5X with OS 6.0.1

Hello, i tried the app with the 5X and the original google wall charger. it shows that the Max possible current as 3,000 mA but the actual measurement seems to fluctuate a lot from 300mA up to 2200mA. the phone says it is Rapidly Charging even when the app is measuring on the low end. i tries the old measurement and the new one and pretty much all setting combinations with no luck. just wondering if anyone with a Nexus 5X or 6P is experiencing this or if they are seeing consistent 3,000mA with the OEM charger.
[Android Apps and Games] nihil0:
Max. USB current is just a theoretical value. It depends on the USB slot type and configuration.

For example USB-C type chargers/USB ports report this value to the phone with a resistor built into the charger.
