Don't know french, but google translate does not offer such translation as you say. If all your talk is such a waste then your buggy app is normal product.

I do not care how battery stats work, if you can't do it on sensation write somewhere "Does not work on HTC Sensation".

As you can see yourself your app does not show 5/5 stars so better take my rating. You should be happy that i placed 3 stars for your efforts. It does not work for me and calling the device buggy not an excuse of your works :D

P.S. Commenting on people's names that way shows your profanity, I did not offended you personally so i do not see how i deserve it.

Keep the "good ****s" going!
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
RE-Edited for clairty. Your arguments are so flawed, it's unbelievable!

It's not because you can't make it work or can't find it that it's a bug or not true...

Check here and get Google to translate it for you: http://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/miro/51727I'm

Didn't find anything useful in any of your posts, nothing that can help you or others anyway.

I did put in the comments the app was not working on Sensation up until I posted the work-around. But you don't read the app descriptions or manuals, so how would you know?

FYI, it works just great on HTC Sensation, I own one remember?

Did you find a 5/5 stars app anywhere so far. So I suppose you're not installing any of those crappy apps, are you?

Not making excuses, just explaining the facts and the work-around I've put in place!

Yes you did say something very offending by saying I was a liar multiple times about the HTC known bug and the work-around I've put in place! Though this is still a fact!
[Android Apps and Games] miro_i:
I checked the checkbox for correction of mAh. It still did not worked - 200-250mAh displayed on the widget, but battery did not dropped a percent for 20 minutes.

If you really offend when i say your app is buggy you should be very limited guy :eek:. Instead of offending about bugs go get them fixed. Your workaround does not work here, try it with the ARHD 3.1.1. But anyways i no longer care if it works or not as i now understand what a tender soul is the author :D and will avoid his apps.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Did you know the Sensation is known to stay at 100% for hours, so you blame my app for that too? And you looked at your screen for 20 minutes already and no % drop! Oh yeah, as if it was possible!

You're the only one offended here because you can't make things work! And if one looks at all your posts, it gets so obvious XDA is not a place for you I'm afraid, you should go back to Stock ROM+Kernel if it's so perfect by the way!

Whenever someone reports a bug I spend all the time necessary to check it and fix it ASAP! But when someone is just trying to be mean and offending, I just can't give a crap about it.

But you probably can't see the difference. you're "miro" in french, and that's not an insult, just another fact!

Avoid all of them please :D what's your point anyway?
[Android Apps and Games] miro_i:
1. Yes i know about the 100% bug, experienced it from first days of my sensation. You're trying to impose something i did not said.

2. It's not your business to determine what places are not for me unless you own the xda forum.

3. My point is that i am calling the things with real names, if something is buggy i call it buggy. As you are too fragile i am not going to use your works because will break your soul when i place my rating. See my point now?
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
I'm having fun because this conversation is pointless from the start, you said you don't care, so why bother?

I'm still entitled to my own opinion and to express it freely. That's what you're doing from the start! Didn't ask for help, just wanted to blame my app for not working as you want it to, because you're unable to.

How can you call things with real names, when you don't know anything about them?

And now this is so funny! You're gonna break my soul! LOL. Sorry I must be miro too, because I can't see that happening :D

Hey buddy, you're so hilarious! LOL! Thanks for the good time, got to go now!
[Android Apps and Games] gibffe:
looks like a fairly usefull app
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Thanks, if you have any questions or need any help, feel free to ask. I'm eager to help users get the best out of it. Suggestions also welcome.

Can also check the app web-site for a lot of info/faq/etc...
[Android Apps and Games] Andy-D:
Well following the last update, I am now getting standby readings on my sensation below 20ma... so im very happy :)

I am however interested in the tempreture reading as mine only ever reports between 24 and 25.1 .... would of thought there would be a wider range as it does feel warm sometimes.

But overall very happy and glad I purchased the pro version.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Thanks for being supportive! Very appreciated!

Do you use an extended battery (from eBay or other places)? It turns out many third-party batteries do not really report temps! Very unfortunate... Still wondering if this slight change could be used to calculate real values (some kind of errors in the reported value?).

Can you send me support requests (from settings), it will include all battery data... Please add a quick comment so I know you have a temperature issue to the report as I receive many all the time (+2000 already in my mailbox, and I check them all!)

---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ----------

I like the idea, this could display all kind of useful stuff in there, even some graphics, maybe a tabbed dialog with estimates, history, full graphic and future usage estimates or simply battery data! Love it!

Well, so much to do again :D and still so little time!
[Android Apps and Games] svenk:
Hi!

After today's update, the calibration feature tells me about "No recent full charge and discharge cycles" and how important those were for accurate measurements. I already did this charge/discharge cycles before but the info seems to be lost after the update.

Question: Do I have to repeat this procedure after each update? What will the effect be if I don't? Do I really have to do the complete cycle:

1. discharge to 0% to be able to...

2. ... charge from 0% to 100%

3. discharge to 0% again?

Can I plug in the USB cable during those cycles? Phone would be kind of useless for two days otherwise.

Can I do it the other way round (first charge to 100%, then discharge to 0% and charge to 100% again)? This would be much easier.

And: Does it matter if the phone is running while charging, or can it be done in when the phone is switched off, too? Edit: Can I interrupt the carging cycle (e.g. because I need the phone), i.e. unplug it for some time and continue charging later?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 btw.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Nothing gets lost with updates, the history is stored on your SD card, so make sure it's available when opening the app. You can check the main screen graphics being loaded.

You can do the cycles in any orders at any times... You can use your phone while charging, does not matter. You can charge with USB or AC doesn't matter either.

What matters is that the app finds the widest % range loaded from history (the most recent day, 2 days or 10 days depending on logging rate.

I'll try to make the range check a little more flexible, but smaller the range is the less precise will be the results.
[Android Apps and Games] svenk:
Hi!

Thanks for your answers. But I still have some questions:

Does it matter if the phone is running while charging, or can it be done in when the phone is switched off, too?

I assume since you read the widest % range from history, I can interrupt the carging cycle (e.g. because I need the phone), unplug the phone for some time and continue charging later, right?

However, fact is that now my calibration got lost, be it because of the update or for some other reason. The history is available, but it seems to be incomplete, i.e. older data is cut off. Therefore, I don't find 0% values inside, and I assume this is the reason for the app to state calibration has to be done again. I don't know why it's truncated. Is there a size limit? If so, the values probably should be stored outside the history file...

I do find the latest 100% value from tonight's charging cycle. I assume when I let the phone discharge completely, the calibration will be back again. But I would appreciate not to have to do this too often ;)
[Android Apps and Games] dertester123:
Hi,

im using your app for so long now :D

I just bought batterymonitor and systemtuner, hope it supports you a bit ;D

Only a small complain:

I see you already added values for all-time, since unplug,actual a long time ago and these will mostly support all cases.

But on devices like HD2 the all time feature seems a bit dominated by the heavy drain when gaming or smth. Im not sure if this is what it should be.

Maby there is a way to middle out some drain peaks, like when gaminge once or twice for an hour and then my whole all-time stats are very low for a week or so

.

Or maby its just the way you want it to be and its just a case of different "taste" :rolleyes:

Last but not least a little question:

Is the actual drain (one moment) just the last value when checking or is it calculated for the last 5minutes (or other update rate).

Im asking because most time i get something like 2-10mA after standby but looking in the history gives me nearly everything from 2-80mA.

=>So maby an idea: A Value for standby middle drain :)
[Android Apps and Games] gotjazz:
I have been using this app for months now on my Nexus S. I'm not sure it was always like that but what strikes me as a bit weird is that after using the phone for some time it takes forever for the consumption to go down to sleep levels. The loading percentage doesn't necessarily go down much meabwhile. So let's say I use 300 mA for some time and I turn off the screen it takes 1-2 hours in the history of slowly but consistently sinking consumption until it reaches something between 15-20. It's as if usage left an "afterglow" in the measurement. This happens with all kernels and roms I have tried - even uf nithing but your app is installed yet. I also tried the other estimation method briefly - didn't make much of a dofference. According to battery history the phone spends almost all screen ofd time in sleep and nothjng seems to cause a lot of partial wakelock usage either.

What I did notice however is that according to setcpu's time-in-state info (the only setcpu function I use) only half as much time is spent with 100mhz as the phone is asleep. Yesterday or the day before I used the automatic service request function but I guess I am not the only person using this app on a nexus s anyway (9023)

Anyway. Thanks for a great tool.
[Android Apps and Games] zcdg:
Thanks for your battery monitoring app.

It works perfectly on HD2, but for me doesn't work on HTC Sensation. Probably it is not possible to make it to work on Sensation the way how it works on HD2 because file /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_current shows always 0 ma in standby and active work. File shows correct current in charge only.(i think HTC did it for the reason - to hide real power consumption)

So i guess you did kind of estimation to measure consumption for Sensation, right?

(may be i am wrong)

So if i measure just few minutes of standby i won't get any right figures?

But for me interesting to measure every minute - not estimation.

So this app(and all other monitors) is practicaly useless for measuring real current on HTC Sensation at least...

For information: i am using original BELL canada ROM, but fully rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Well, your phone doesn't actually report real mA, so the app has to estimate it, and there's no much data appart from the % that are reliable enough to do that. It presents a single drawback, when going in standby... As you have noticed.

In the past under those conditions the app was lowering the mA very quickly, but it was causing a much worse issue: preventing to see actual drain issues... For example 1% drop every 30 minutes is around 30mA, lowering mA any faster will prevent seeing such drain!

To actually show the most accurate mA the app needs to update the history between % changes! not something to be done while monitoring, but only while loading the file to show the graphics.

This will be part of a future update, but I need time to make the best algorithm that will ensure the least consumption.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

Doesn't matter as far as calculated mAh is concerned. If you want to ge the measured mAh, then you'll need the whole history both charging/discharging to get accurate measures. (only if you have the pro version anyway).

Next thing, what logging rate are you using? The history loaded depends on that, so the more frequent logging the less time the app will load. Useless to go lower than 1 minute, best is 5 or 10 mintues. Note that you don't loose any accuracy doing that! I'm on 10 minutes and might soon use 20 minutes.

Note that you don't need to get to the calibration all the time, you can do it once every 6 months as a checkup point. Calibration is useful with a new phone, new battery or sometimes changing ROM, the process of doing it improves your battery run-time by maximizing % and mV range. Once it's done it's done. The second part is checking battery agging, can be done when you have doubts.

So when you want to check, let the phone discharge and then go check the calibration screen for calculated and measured mAh.

The app will never browse the whole history file, because the older the data the less meaningful it is.
[Android Apps and Games] gotjazz:
Ah. Thanks for the answer. So after an hour or two or whatever I can trust the values reported in sleep and assume that it is just as little in shorter sleep periods even if reported higher?
[Android Apps and Games] svenk:
I have pro, but as I understand the S2 does not report measured mAh, right?

I am using the 5 minutes that were pre-configured after installation. Actually, I think this is a good value because I installed the app to see the strange drain issues that I had some (few) times. The phone simply for no reason that I was able to figure out started draining like hell, and neither BetterBatteryStats nor task monitor nor anything else gave a hint about what was going on. Only a re-boot would help, and in order to see that I had such an issue again I need some tool to show me the current drain.

My only idea why the phone might have those issues is that there is a hardware related problem, perhaps something causing the processor to run at 1.2 GHz even when the phone is idle and never slow down to the 200 MHz it would be supposed to idle with. At least it's nothing I can see with any tool I have.

Currently I was using BatteryCalibration by marosige. Do you think this interfers with your app? BatteryCalibration does initialize some system files as far as I understand, and I did not read that your app does such a thing as well.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Yes indeed, so far that's the only option there is on phone not reporting mA... It will slightly improve with the new algorithm I mentioned, but still very short standby will be too hard to detect properly, eg consuming too much.
[Android Apps and Games] gotjazz:
Sorry to bother you again about this - so the very low values older versions reported were just wrong, right? I've been rom-hopping like crazy to get them back hehe. Means I can settle now I guess :)

Edit: is the estimate stanby usage checkbox enough or do I need to change the overall retrieval method to estimate?
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Everything's automatic on your phone! So you can even uncheck the 'mA corrections'. This option is mostly meant for HTC devices who reports real mA except in standby where they keep reporting between 100 and 300mA no matter what!?
[Android Apps and Games] gotjazz:
Thanks man. Always great to see that kind of support on xda :)
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
You can get the same support directly on the app web site, see signature.
[Android Apps and Games] GBH2:
Really great app you've got here! :)

Quick question: I have looked and searched, I might have missed it, but is there a way to increase the font size on the numbers/text on the Widget, I can barely read it. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Nope there isn't. Will look into it, maybe first step will be to use the home screen default font (only when using Sense3 or Glass styles).

Me too, have to wear glasses to use my phone!
[Android Apps and Games] BryanP:
Great app, using the pro version.

Is there a way to set a one time battery full alarm that doesnt have to be reset? I'd like to top off the battery but if I dont go into the settings each time to turn it off it'll be sounding in the middle of the night.
[Android Apps and Games] ronnyliu:
Good Job Bro.

It is really nice:D
[Android Apps and Games] pas4227:
Bought the pro version. Very good - thanks.

Q: I have run the calibration cycle (0% - 100%; 100% - 0%) so the widget now knows the max mV (4213) and min mV (3581) for my battery. Having done this once, does the calibration cycle need to be redone when a new kernel/ROM is installed or can I just go to the calibration screen and tell the widget what the max/min values are?
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
What I currently do is once I get the min/max mV as you did, I put them in my specs along with the original mAh...

Then once in a while I will check how's my battery is aging... eg every other months, or when luckily I run the battery to near 0%, I go in the calibration to check if min/max mVs have evolved or if the measured mAh still matches.

Measured mAh is the average between total mA drain and total mA charge. This value will be adjusted based on max % range in the next update, so even if I run from 100% to 50%, I can get a measured mAh, though it will be less precise.
[Android Apps and Games] adamdelozier:
Awesome app!! Been using it for a while, but still trying to figure it all out! I am using an extended battery (3500 mah) . On the calibration screen my measured may is always really low. Right now its reading 152, but my stored is 3853. Also really steep drops and odd behavior. Was at 55% at one point, then all of a sudden it shut off. Turned it back on and I was 22%...then it drained down to 5% and turned off again. Due to my stubborn nature, I turned it back on and it was at 8%...been running that way since 6 this morning (3 hrs ago) now its at 3%. Basically I have not plugged my phome in since yesterday morning around 6:30. So I am pushing about 27 hours without charge, but my readings are all over the place. Sorry if this confusing, but I am confused!! Any help is appreciated! I am on a Samsung epic running ERA eco5 revolted. I have set CPU undervolting at different steps ranging for -25 to - 100. I am not overclocked. Does undervolting negatively impact this app?? Thanks again!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
the battery % is unaffected by CPU tweaks whatsoever... The only thing that affects % reported is the battery stats and the battery driver.

I've seen those weird behavior on a HTC Sensation after flashing a ROM... % reported by Android was all upside down. So I wiped the battery stats (menu on main app screen), and ran a quick calibration cycle, eg charged to 100%, left plugged until <=0mA in, then discharged until shut-off, restart phone unplugged until it won't restart anymore... After that things got better, but I think I changed custom ROM also...
[Android Apps and Games] drms12:
My sensation never reaches 0ma! maybe 3ma at max! After it reaches 15ma-3ma it start use the battery again for few minutes, then start charge from 100-60 ma again. And I wait hours!

My monitor settings in the app is htc sensation and the fix for idle is checked.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
I did get negavtive mA while charging @ 100%. As the phone will stop charging @ 100% and restart charging at 95%. That's what I experienced all the time.

But on this device it's pointless, the phone will never fully charge the battery. @ 100% your charging cycle is mostly over, so go for a full discharge cycle.

EDIT: Make sure you installed a CWM that's not buggy and will recharge phone when off! Otherwise the full discharge cycle explained above can mean troubles.
[Android Apps and Games] drms12:
Few days ago I just ch rage the phone until it reaches 100% and 4.212V (The max i ever seen). It was 13ma positive. Then did calibration using battery calibration. After that reboot, Then charge cycle.

This is right method ?

And i just want to tell you that my sensation suddenly report normal ma during idle use!

I don't know what was the problem but right now everything seems as it should.

Thanks for now 3c!
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Running full charge/discharge cycles help get more accurate % reporting and also will help maximize its range (as well as mV ranges).

Many phones shutdown at 3-5% before running some calibration. So trying to restart the phone until it does not will lower the minimum % possible.
[Android Apps and Games] drms12:
3c the app shows wrong values again. I don't know what to do with it.
[Android Apps and Games] WhiteZero:
Any chance of getting accurate mV rating on the Epic 4G Touch (Sprint's Galaxy S II)?

EDIT: Nevermind, seems to work alright.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Check this out, this explains how it actually works and its limitations, there's no magic to cope with a bugged battery driver: http://www.3c71.com/android/?q=node/155
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
mV is reported directly by Android, so except some different ratio being applied to the reported data, there's no much that could be done.

The standard is for Android to report the actual mV value directly, but some manufacturers messed-up the report to provide microVolts or Volts! The value is always an Integer value, so with microV it's ok, but with V can't get the real mV value behind it (except that most phones have the actual mV value stored in a file).

The app tries to cope with the various possibilities as much as possible.

EDIT: You can check this out for more details: http://www.3c71.com/android/?q=node/134
[Android Apps and Games] pctelco:
At first, sorry for my brocken english.

I am using the pro version of this very nice APP.

Since the update from yesterday, the graph in the Widget won't rewritten in the diagram.

It means, the widget shows only one line, and not the history-graph after wakeup the device .

It's the same on my SGS i9000 and on my SGT P1000.

This app as well as all other battery current monitors almost useless for Sensation. I have tried so many of them.:( You can't do anything with it.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Yep, that's a useless crappy and buggy phone! :( Can't do anything about it!

Which current monitors did you try anyway? This app is actually the only one which can give you an estimated current for this phone!
[Android Apps and Games] zcdg:
You are right - this phone is beautiful phone - best of i ever had before:D:D:D:D

I don't remember - names of apps i used(why you care about it for this crappy phone:D:D) - so many of them on the market i tried. Estimation doesn't work for me good enough to use it.

Now i just use Battery Indicator which give me all time percentage on the left of status bar. This is only precise figures i am interested, realy can get from battery tools.

It is enough for me now.

P.S. HTC doesn't report discharge current for a reason i guess.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Very beautiful... very buggy too. Stop guessing and get kernel source, then you'll know!

So if you only care for the percentage, why bother come here and say it's useless to you as it actually provides percentage in the status bar too?

I actually use Battery Monitor Widget to show the percentage and mA (and sometimes the temperature or mV) on the status bar and to get some real statistics.
