Hi,

Can you add support for Xiaomi Redmi Note 2?

Battery mA is reported in "/sys/devices/platform/battery/FG_Battery_CurrentConsumption". It is reported in units of 0.1 mA (e.g. value of 4156 indicated 415.6 mA).

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] RivalComp:
Is there any way to start app only when charger connects and completely close app when charger disconnects (like Galaxy Charging Current)? My S4 died, switched to LG H850. Ampere reads current info correctly. But personally I don't care about discharging, I need charging info in notification tray only. I've bought the app but realized that after I disconnect the charger Ampere holds space in the notification window even after setting it to hide. Tried to automatize it with Tasker but no success, I can't start and close Ampere with it.

If the app has any start/close action intent please tell me. Thanks!

Hi, I am using 2 2A wall charger to charge my S7 but when I have the app running it only shows about 1A. Can the readings be false or is the phone not supported?

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] maciekbe:
Charging current is controlled by phone. It takes what it wants. If charger has 2A, then it can deliver 2A if the phone wants. If charger is too small it can burn or damage, when a phone tries to take more than the charger can deliver. Various phone manufacturers implement different methods to determine charger type. For computer USB socket, phones limit charging to 0.5A, to protect computers. Charging current depends on cable and how a phone identifies current source. You may experiment with different cables and chargers and see how it works. You will see that charging current is usually independent of charger specs.
[Android Apps and Games] spacemanvt:
can anyone tell me typical stats for quick charge 3.0?

I get up to about 2900 mah charging at the highest point. does that sound right?
[Android Apps and Games] pmredulla:
Why are you using a 2A charger for your S7? Why not use the free charger that came with your phone? Try using the free QC 3.0 charger and see if the charging current is still 1A.
[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:
Hi,

I have tried the charger that comes with the S7 but even with that one it only shows 1A.

Now I am using this one Anker PowerPort+ 1 Quick Charge 3.0 18W USB Wand Ladegerät mit Power IQ für Galaxy S7 and even with that one it only shows about 1A. And yes I am activated quick charge under battery settings.

Is there a difference between screen on and off? I mean does the device use less power from charger when screen is on and as it goes off it uses more? To prevent some damage or so ?

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] maciekbe:
Quick charge is not about high current. There are other things...
[Android Apps and Games] Mardon:
Ya specially the usb cable ;)

Gesendet von meinem Pixel mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] maciekbe:
Yeah. A cable decides about everything ;)

Recently my friend investigated quick charge. He found that it is about voltage and timing pattern. The current stays similar.
[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:
Hi [MENTION=394278]nihil0[/MENTION] what do you think about adding a charging history where you can see the the percent of the battery next to the time and used mA.

That way the user could see in what intervall der battery was charged...maybe with a function for the user to reset or save that current history.

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] martin132014:
[MENTION=394278]nihil0[/MENTION] why does the notification always blinking....i know its updating the battery status, but can't it be not blinking all the time... it's kinda distracting when opening notification....that make me doesn't wanna use the notification option....

Anyone know how to get beyond that...
[Android Apps and Games] caeci11ius:
Pixel XL - works fine...BUT... doesn't report details of high voltage charging via usb-pd. So you'll get an appropriate mA value but it won't signify in any way charging at increased voltage. Given the prevalence of quick-charge phones and with usb-pd phones now appearing on the scene, we probably need an app that reports charging/discharge in Watts.

Improvement recomendations

Hi.

I like Ampere app.

-I would highly appreciate if it can change color (background) according measured value. I am not able to read values without glasses. But except of testing chargers i use it to detect if my magnetic cable is correctly connected. (if not, it charges too slow)

-It would be fine to have color In status bar and on lock screen too.. Led signalisation would be also fine, but i suppose complicated and tricky.

-It would be great to have some kind of charging current BAR. (zero-2A for instance). It can be background of previous request or 1 pixel line as in MicroCpuMonitor.

-History would be fine. Because current is really rapid changing. And i am mostly interested in longterm behavior with screen off (for instance 1 charging cycle).

Thnx in advance. Martin ﻿

Hi Nihil.

I found 2 bugs on my LG G4.

1)Value displayed in lockscreen is probably not refreshed. It shows fully different values than statusbar or application.

This is maybe related to some issues in LG launcher or so (there is problem with widget refreshing in some apps). But widget on main deskop is reacting ok.

2)When i run navigation (sygic) in car with my car charger connected, it shows positive current, but capacity goes down.

But same situation shows standard battery overview menu. Maybe to use another method to get data?

Question. Charging current is measured directly or you measure it by subtracting two other currents (eg charger-cpu).

With regards

Martin

One of my 2Ampere charger is giving 4000+ value when i measure it and heats up the phone as well. Is the charger problematic and i shouldn't charge with it?
[Android Apps and Games] Namoi:
Well yes you should. Even with qc3 you won't be able afaik to reach such amps. Also your phone should prevent this so i don't think it really reach this but nonetheless i won't use such a charger.. Did you tried with the provided with your phone?
[Android Apps and Games] maciekbe:
A charger, no matter how big, do not force charging current. The current is always up to a phone. A charger has to be capable of current the phone needs. If not, such charger can burn out itself. Maybe in this case the app shows incorrect value.

so I'll stick with that I guess (I'm running kitkat anyway, so I'm not interested in oreo updates etc.)
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Well the Title of the Thread was updated to 5.0+

So unfortunately Kit-Kat is no longer supported in the Ampere app's recent builds which would explain why they are not working properly for you... If you wanted / were able to update your device to Lollipop it should work again for you.

Sent from my SM-G955W ??
[Android Apps and Games] patrickdrd:
I'm not so sure they would, but anyway, I'm not willing to update my phone to Lollipop just for the ampere's alerts to work or

rather just because the developer had the idea to rip off backwards compatibility of alerts which was working perfectly fine

until 2.07, in order to accommodate for oreo etc..

I'm a fanatic fan of kitkat and I'll stick to it, even if my apps don't update,

after all, those who say "if something works, don't fix it" are wise IMO,

app updates are just for marketing purposes, in order to keep up with the market pace, etc ;)

With almost every major Android release there are a lot of changes which have to be considered. To support a wide range of Android versions is really not easy.

Confirm worked on Samsung A7 2016 (A7108) rom Roxana ROM A7108 7.0 Unoffical

I have a question: I'm using charger 2A, and ampere app show me about 800mA? Is that's right?
[Android Apps and Games] ektus:
That question should be covered in a FAQ somewhere. I don't know the A7, but in general the charging current depends on a couple of factors:

- Maximum charging current of the battery (design/specification)

- Maximum charging current of the charging regulator inside the phone (design/specification)

- Current state of charge and current temperature of the battery (hot or nearly full -> lower current)

- Design of charging interface between phone and charger (single-voltage 5V or optional higher voltages for more power, phone and charger must match (quick charge or some such))

- Quality of charger (2A won't help if the voltage drops below 5V when pulling current. Some phones will reduce charging current to protect the charger if the voltage drops below 5V)

- Quality of cable between charger and phone (If the cable is of bad quality, either wires too thin and/or bad connectors, it will cause a voltage drop as soon as there is passing current through the cable, and the charger protection circuit in the phone will limit the current (see above))

- Power consumption of the phone while watching the current (The charger can deliver only so much current. Part of it (anywhere between 100mA and 1A or more) will be used to operate the phone, and only the remainder goes into the battery. Ampere will measure only the part that goes into the battery, not the total current between charger and phone).

Regards

Ektus.

[MENTION=394278]nihil0[/MENTION] - app works beautifully on LG Spirit 4g lte stock rom 5.0.1 LP and on Xiaomi RN3 pro stock MIUI rom.

Just 1 question - is there an equivalent to Ampere for a Windows PC?
[Android Apps and Games] ektus:
On my HP notebook, there's a software called "HP Battery Check" that shows some info like current, state of charge, capacity, age and error codes (if any).

I don't know if there is generic software for the task, as it may depend on the PC (manufacturer, chipset, BIOS, ...) rather than the operating system.
