Thanks for the hints and no problem for not responding to my PM.

I uninstalled the icon pack I had already.

I extracted the Circular Battery % package, replaced the image files with the new ones I created (64x64 ;)) and zipped it again and renamed to apk. Install fails with "the app was not installed", see screenshot attached.

The apk is here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/gyrls5xtog3x1ux/bmw.icons.kitkat.circlular.apk

Can someone help me?

Hello! What do you think about new UI, Google UI. For example, franco.kernel.updater. it is look very nice.
[Android Apps and Games] android_tuner:
Ah ah, I've never seen something as expensive and awful as fku ;)

As for your screenshot, those do not relate to battery monitoring. First is ugly and useless as much as can be, the last one is very neat but the top graphic is quite useless, and I prefer being functional rather than good looking.

That said, we're working on version 3.0 of Battery Monitor Widget and System Tuner, here are a few screenshots of BMW 3.0.
[Android Apps and Games] asm-xda:
Will the new BMW3.0 offer something new or different to the features the Battery monitor in Android Tuner have? Basically the question is, if I'm currently using AT Pro, will I benefit somehow from also buying BMW 3 or everything is already in AT?

Thank you, and keep up the excellent work!
[Android Apps and Games] android_tuner:
Android Tuner is the integration of all 3C tools, and as such will always include all features of other tools, with a huge amount of extra capabilities. That said, AT is and will stay focused on Android control, monitoring and optimization. For example it may never replace a launcher or include weather widgets.

Existing tools (BMW included) are being updated to reflect latest enhancements in their respective field, eg BMW about battery management and ST about system tweaking.
[Android Apps and Games] who:
need some help as I just download the battery monitor widget on the Xiaomi Redmi but strangely of the 2 set , 1 set is working but the other is not. any help from pro here? Running on Miui V5 under the 4.2.2
[Android Apps and Games] android_tuner:
What do you mean of the 2 set?

In any case, your ROM might have the alarm bug as described here: http://www.3c71.com/android/?q=node/2565
[Android Apps and Games] who:
Oh I meant I bought 2 set and 1 set the battery monitor is working but the other is not. Ok I will check out that thread thanks
[Android Apps and Games] android_tuner:
Just wanted to let you know we've published the "old" Process Monitor Widget app as a test drive for the up-coming versions of System Tuner and Battery Monitor Widget.

The app is built from Android Tuner source, which will help make the apps more stable on the long run. The catch is the APK size, which we managed to reduce to about 4MB. Reducing its size further is becoming extremely complicated though.

BMW 3.0, also built from Android Tuner source should be released soon as beta testing went quite alright. Its APK size is about 5MB (from the original 1.2MB!), unfortunately.

We're working hard to make all 3C apps up-to-date, hoping that the numerous changes in UI and the APK sizes will not be killing those apps permanently and our business with it.

Battery Monitor Widget 3.0 improves battery monitoring, further reducing app battery/CPU consumption, however tests revealed some users didn't understand the change and didn't like it, even though it provides more accurate results.

System Tuner 3.0 will provide an updated UI, much improved features, there are numerous changes which could make users unhappy, including the task manager simplified version without all the buttons it used to have which many users used as the main app entry point.

Your feedback will be appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Battery Monitor Widget 3.0 is out, let us know what you think.

Current feedback outlines the features to be included in future updates:

- Configuration Wizard

- Improved dual-battery support

- Summary at the top of the history

- Summary screen showing status + graphic/history

- Clearer estimates/forecast graph (possibly not filled?)

- Possible removal of internet permission (to download icon packs without going to the web site, full-version only)
[Android Apps and Games] andy o:
Hi, I've just updated, and I've noticed a couple of things. I can't find how to tweak the rate at which the history is updated, and the history doesn't appear to be updating when the screen is off. It's a bit confusing with two menu overflow buttons, and a settings button on the main screen.
[Android Apps and Games] sonwon:
I am not please with the change to the widget. Now I have to view an ad to see the battery status, I liked the old widget much better and will be looking for a new widget.
[Android Apps and Games] jdcnosse:
I've just updated and now I can't force a custom capacity. I'm running a GPE ROM on my GS4, and I have the 7500mAh zerolemon battery, but it won't let me change the default 2600mAh.
[Android Apps and Games] shinesthru:
App update is great. My biggest negative up until now has been the app and widget ui, this update is a huge improvement. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
There is no longer a need for an history update rate. App logs data in "real-time", so that a % change is logged at the time it occurs. This provides more accurate results and helps reduce CPU consumption in standby. There is still an option for mA logging (measuring only will be added soon) every minute.

This improvement can be seen on screenshots here.

It shows 3.0 consumes much less CPU while recording the same results.

Ads have not changed between old and new versions.

Sorry for that, there's been an issue in initial update. 3.0.3 have been published and resolves this and many other issues. Please let me know if issue persists.

Thanks, at least one user is happy ;)
[Android Apps and Games] shinesthru:
Heck yeah! Can I make one request/suggestion? A Dashclock extension would be fantastic.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Will definitely consider that when the time allows.
[Android Apps and Games] sonwon:
You can mark me down as happier after you shared that the widgets are found under BMW instead of Battery Monitor Widget. There is a lot of applications between Ba and BM which is what caused my original confusion. I believe this is an inconsistency in the naming of the widgets. I do think the popup ads are overkill however I understand you need to make money too.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
After reading many reviews I got to understand that too. The name change was made to let the widget type shows better, having Battery Monitor Widget a few times would prevent seeing Gauge or Text or Graph, etc...

Maybe I'll revert that and have all widgets shows full Battery Monitor Widget, if that can help.
[Android Apps and Games] shinesthru:
If you use and enjoy this app, but don't like ads, there is a simple solution... go pro! The developer deserves compensation for this outstanding app!
[Android Apps and Games] sonwon:
Or just use BMW for all of the names so they clump together. Then there is room for a descriptor after the BMW.

---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------

Yes and not everyone is in a position to do so. It isn't the price of a single app it is the combined prices for all of the apps as they are all deserving of support. I just feel that the popup ads are intrusive and unnecessary. I expect most people clear the add without reading. The next logical step will be a timer on the ad. When they place the timer on the ad then I will un-install the application and write my own and give away for free. Or find a different app. I have no problem with the ads showing at the bottom or top of the screens. The reason we have popup blockers on our browsers is because popup ads are annoying and intrusive. Feel free to argue for popup ads in your applications and browser if you like. I'll not participate though. My opinion and I'll move on when I find an app less intrusive.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
The combined prices for all the apps one uses is still cheap compared to the prices of the devices one will buy every year, whether paid in full or paid inside a 1 or 2-year plan (which is twice as expensive by the way).

Users are ready to pay excessive monthly bills without complaining ever, but not pay for an app they'll be able to use for life!

There is a clear difference between a popup on the web which shows unexpected and a full screen ads which shows only during transitions eg when you expect a new screen to show up.

Not that I care on any of the above, but trying to justify anything contrary to the above is <whatever one may think>
[Android Apps and Games] sonwon:
Not going to debate the snipped stuff as it was just my opinion. BTW, I have called my carrier three times now for billing prices and am now down over 40% with another savings kicking in in May which will save me over 50%. :)
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
If it's 50% of $200, I'm very sorry for you :D but let's drop this OT, shall we?
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Nice idea, however most users will give up looking when they don't see Battery Monitor Widget. End result remains the same. I've already published an update with the full app name on every widget. Too bad for good launchers who group widgets per app, but the preview should be good enough.
[Android Apps and Games] andy o:
Thanks for the clarification, does this mean that measuring mA by the minute is going to be added soon and the logging option is not working yet?
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
That option definitely works, please try long-press on the history (not on the mA or %/h column though it doesn't work), and tap "full history".
[Android Apps and Games] andy o:
Thanks, that's kind of a hidden feature though. I've been seeing different standby mA readings (higher, in the hundreds, but the battery % does seem to indicate it's in sleep) from the previous version, with which I also did minute by minute logging of mA. I just updated to the latest build right now at the Play Store about a half hour ago and I'm checking again.
[Android Apps and Games] Perilla_:
Can we have an "old widget" style? I bought Android Tuner when there was an offer to get a refund for BMW, but kept this for the widget, but latest version is just the battery "module" from android Tuner.

I like the widget where I see in red each % drop, and be able to change duration zoom.

Please 3c! And thanks!

Enviado desde mi LG-D802 mediante Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
The red/green coloring is coming back to widgets soon, but only optional. Widgets zoom is determined by graphic widget update rate, an option available in the widgets settings.

BMW 2.x was no longer selling because of the old and creepy UI. Users want a fresh and modern UI and that's what I've given them. Users don't want those old-style unreadable coloring, they want HOLO/ICS/KK theming because it's known to be simple to read. So yeah, BMW is now "just the battery module" of Android Tuner.

For the record, BMW 3.0 over 2.x improves on UI, battery monitoring, battery stats, widgets, history, markers, calibration, alarms. Pretty much all app features have been largely and extensively improved. But yeah, it's just the crap from Android Tuner.
[Android Apps and Games] Perilla_:
Don't misunderstand me when I said it was a "module" of Android Tuner, I was referring that it is the new code you developed for android Tuner. I know it's better in everything, I just kept BMW for the widget.

Is android Tuner getting red/green widget too? How can I set widget to show 12th with update rate?

Thank you very much 3c for your time

I've applied every advice I've found to avoid the fact that Kitkat closes background apps... but it's still happening with BMW 3.0 Pro... I don't have a widget, but notification icon and info there... and I find that since BMW was updated to 3.0, every now and then notification icon stops updating reaming battery percent, so I think I've got more battery than I really have in the end of the day... :(

Anyone else?

bye!

PD: I own a Nexus 5 with last Kitkat 4.4.2...
[Android Apps and Games] andy o:
This is what I'm getting now on my nexus 5 with stock firmware. The mA readings don't seem to match the % drain. On the previous version when the phone was sleeping I did get minimal mA consumption. The phone was sleeping between these two screenshots, note the timestamps.

[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Yes AT will get the same option from BMW, that's the whole interest of having shared source code, every improvements in one app will benefit the others. Can't wait to release ST 3.0, but got to fix bugs in BMW first.

What do you mean 12th with update rate? Every 12th hour be shown like in the app? Why not.

I own a N5 too, with this crap 4.4.2, but never got BMW 3.0 to stop running. We've made a lot of efforts and implemented work-around to this bug to prevent that from happening.

Have you tried setting mA monitoring interval to 1 minute permanently? Because if that doesn't work, you're not experiencing the KKKB (KitKat kill-bug I call it), but some other app might be force-stopping BMW.

In previous version to get real mA, you must have either changed mA reading method to 'estimated' or switched on 'estimated mA during standby'. This issue is caused by the N5 sensor reporting garbage during standby, not the update. Unfortunately the old 'mA reading' method is not recovered during the upgrade.

PS: Please don't post entire screenshots, but attach them. They clutter the thread in a bad way (IMO) for no added value.
[Android Apps and Games] andy o:
I don't remember changing that setting, but I'll change it now. Thanks. Sorry for the screenshots, didn't have too much experience posting pictures from Tapatalk, I thought it resized them.
[Android Apps and Games] Perilla_:
Ups, the predictive. I was refering to show in the widget just the latest 12 hours. With update rate, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes etc. how I get that?
[Android Apps and Games] PeQuEsan:
Yes, I've got it monitoring every 1 minute. :(

And I don't have any task-killer... I don't know of any more apps that could kill an app...¿?

PD: 2 minutes ago I unlocked the phone and found BMW notification icon stuck at 80%... I tapped it and it updated to 70%... :( It's happening twice a day at least...

PD: I see also that I don't have history for the last 2h50m...
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Ah, we're looking into better options, maybe a separate option for the duration and the update rate would be best.

The 1-minute monitoring uses an Alarm, which forces the app restarts automatically. The only thing that can stop that is either the app being force-stopped or a "big" bug on which the app unregister the alarm itself. Are you using the 1-minute interval at all times or just while charging?

If you can retrieve the logcat (hopefully you don't have a Samsung device as they log just too much to see anything past 30 minutes), that might provide some insight into what happened.

Strange thing is, I tested the app with default settings on a N5 and N7-2012 both running 4.4.2, never had the issue.

I suppose you didn't change any developer settings, such as "don't keep activities" or "background process limit"? Though they should have limited impact on alarms.
[Android Apps and Games] PeQuEsan:
No I didn't change any dev setting, neither.

I'll try to logcat this ASAP. I asume it will be quite easy as it happens quite often.

One question: If you've got monitoring configured as "1 minute"... is it normal that history is NOT showing data for every minute? I'll post a screenshot now...
[Android Apps and Games] PeQuEsan:
it logs an entry each time battery drops 1%.... instead of every 1 minute.... ¿?

I confirm I've got 1 minute monitoring (charging or not)... No way...

Desde el móvil con Tapatalk...
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
The 'mA monitoring' option is exclusively for recording mA every minute. Other data are recorded as they change, that "real-time" method. The important change here was to log a % change at the time it occurs. All features depending on that were often incorrect due to the lack of precision here, that includes %/h, use times, stats, and estimated mA. The huge pikes the old version was often showing are not fully eliminated but much more reduced.

So yes, it's normal. What's not is that with such option set, the app die after a while. Can you double-check you chose the 3rd choice in that option: "Every minute (accurate but consumes more!)", not the middle one "Every minute while charging" ?

That said, the best approach remains the logcat, you should find something like "ccc71.bmw ... killed" at some point in time, what's mentioned before/after can be of importance.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
There's nothing missing here? Long-press the history and tap "full history".

Like in previous version if something is missing, there'll be a line saying "missing data".
[Android Apps and Games] PeQuEsan:
I confirm: I choose third option... 1 minute monitoring (charging or not).

I'll try to logcat then...
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Do not bother, we found the problem, fixed it and the update (yes another one, I know it's bad) is being published. ETA ~ 2 hours.

FWIW, the mA monitoring work-around was 'working', except that the OS was telling the app something like "everything's ok your service is running, don't bother fixing it", except the service was not necessarily running.

Sorry for all the inconveniences.
[Android Apps and Games] PeQuEsan:
Yes I saw the update this morning. I've updated and also wiped the config (deleting app data), so I've been using BWM for many years and to avoid any possible bug related to that... Hope it's fixed.

Thanks!!!
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
It you received 3.0.6, that was for the "blank" page issue. 3.0.7 is about the KK work-around. Deleting app data should not be necessary at all, as it doesn't interfere with those last 2 updates.

EDIT: We've added an option to set mA update interval to 10 minutes instead of 1, especially for the KK work-around and to avoid too much strain on battery.
[Android Apps and Games] PeQuEsan:
You're right... Morning update wasn't the one you was talking about. So I update again and see... Thanks again. :)
[Android Apps and Games] PeQuEsan:
I just drop by here to say thanks to 3c. BMW has not been killed any more, so it's updating notification icon correctly. :)

bye!
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Job's not done yet as this option is not available on devices without current sensor (estimated mA),

The mA monitoring option will be slightly changed to 1) cope with this KK-bug on those devices and 2) bring back monitoring interval and offer an alternative to existing users believing the app is now acting erratically because of this new "real-time" logging. The usual intervals will be added in 3.0.8, from 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 and 60 minutes.

We're also looking into 3 issues reported with the new version:

- Widget graphs are too hard to understand, so loading data from history should be done for standby time, showing continuous information.

- Main screen (status tab) should allow showing at least a graph or text history (similarly to old version), but only if recording is on.

- Turning off "record all the time" will completely turn off recording even if a notification or widget is used, to bring back that particular behavior which is actually missing in 3.0. Ready for 3.0.8.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
3.0.8 has been published and restore a number of features that were available in 2.x:

- Main screen (status tab) can show history or graph as before, either 2 graphs and/or history text. Showing 2 graphs and history on small devices will not look good however we didn't block this.

- Monitoring intervals can be set to 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 and 60 minutes which automatically disables real-time logging, hence may reduce accuracy of some other results.

- KitKat kill-bug work-around is now available on any devices and requires enabling monitoring intervals, not using the first 2 options (real-time or 1 minute during charge).

- Turning off "record all the time", ensures app will not record any history and automatically hides related tabs (gfx, history, calibration, etc), the kitkat work-around can still be applied and should be effective if using alarms or graphic widgets with standby updates. However only having notifications may not be effective at the moment, as the monitoring will be automatically stopped during standby which may get the app "permanently" killed by the OS.

The remaining feature (let us know if we forgot something) is that widget graphs zoom/behavior is not suitable, so loading data from history should be done for standby time, showing continuous information.

Concerning the bug reported with duplicate widgets or widgets disappearing from launcher, we're not sure we can do anything about that, considering the OS maintain the list of widgets available and the list of widgets on each launcher installed. I suppose we will assume the blame on Play Store anyway.

I am getting repeated crashes with Battery Monitor Widget Pro v 3.08. Most of the times when I apply or remove power I get "Unfortunately, Battery Monitor Widget Pro has stopped"

I am running a custom ROM based of Google Edition 4.4.2 on A Samsung S4. I have tried uninstalling/re-installing the applications and clearing app data.

I have Record all the time set to ON and the Monitoring Interval set to Every 5 minutes.

Attached is a Catlog that was running when the crash occurred.

Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] swieder711:
EDIT: If BMW is running then it crashes every time that AC power is applied or removed. Hopefully it will be easy to locate the problem.

For now I am uninstall the App!
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Please send a support request, we will provide an updated APK. The problem is already fixed (some APK configuration files went wrong when publishing the app), but we're still working on improving the widgets before we can actually publish yet another update.
[Android Apps and Games] swieder711:
I sent an email to the developer address, 3c (at) 3c71 dot com with the log file.

How can I get the updated APK?
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
We have your email, and the draft reply is just waiting for the APK to be built. You should receive it shortly.

I use nexus 5 and I think it show me not correct mA.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
The Nexus 5 sensor is not accurate at all, standby mA remains around -300mA and charging mA around 300mA too. Best is to use "Estimated mA" on this device.

Can you please remove the attached screenshot as it shows no useful information and only clutters the thread. Thanks.

Hi everyone

How can I disable gyroscope sensor to save battery! Screen Auto Rotate is already disabled...
[Android Apps and Games] pedmond:
Ever since version 3, time since charged on the widget updates very late. For instance, the widget indicates that I've charged the phone 1 min ago, when in fact, entering the application gives more than 2h (which is correct). Same goes for the screen on time.

I never had this problem with v2. I've installed the helper, of course.

Can anyone help, please?
