Very sorry, didn't know... will create asap a test version to get estimated mA during discharge.

Well if you take a look at the screen-shot on first post, you'll see it's consuming less than 0.05% of CPU when monitoring with 2 widets (one text 2x1 and one graphic 2x1) and 2 notification icons (mA and %)... That's about 43 seconds per day!

I'm using the app in such configuration on a HD2 and a Galaxy S, we get 24 hours of usage easy... On the HD2 I test the app most evenings, and on the SGS my 3 year-old kid can spend a couple of hours playing 3D games :)

I tried without the app, didn't notice any difference... If you don't care about history, you can still use the rest of the app (widgets, notifications) for a much lower consumption (no test conducted yet).

By the way this usage also includes the PMW widget on home screen and PMW recording phone activity :)

I have to admit that I had comments on the market from few users that it killed their battery... very few users complaints while 50.000 happy users are actively using the app already! :D

Also got 2 funny reports saying that the app was burning their phone :D so pay attention in case you see smoke coming out of your phone! lol! :D

Another interesting story: the other day I updated the SGS to 2.2.1 and every morning phone was dead! So I removed all my apps: same thing phone dead in the morning... and realized I can't live without the estimate screen anymore :D

Once I put back both apps was able to figure out Bouygues Telecom's app were messing up the phone!

X1 current reading support

Is there a chance of adding support for measuring current consumption on Xperia X1?

Value of the current consumption can be read out of the file:

/sys/devices/platform/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0036/power_supply/ds2746-battery/current_now
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Support for that file is already added and should already work!

What do you actually get for the mA at the moment? estimated, 0?
[Android Apps and Games] przemhb:
I get 0 now. I was sure there is no support for the file.

What else may cause this problem?
[Android Apps and Games] rahlquist:
Are you sure it will show discharge rate? Perhaps it only shows charging.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Ok, can you check the content of the following 2 files while discharging?

/sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_current

/sys/devices/platform/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0036/power_supply/ds2746-battery/current_now

This file in ds2746 is the first file the app checks to get mA data, except if you have a model number containing "Desire HD" or "Desire Z"

Are you using a custom ROM based on a desire build? and what's your actual model number?
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Hello,

The app is definitely not changing any phone settings whatsoever! So either you have a buggy ROM or another installed app is silently messing up your phone.

This is a monitoring app, and the only extra feature outside of this scope is the ability to MANUALLY delete the battery stats on rooted phones.
[Android Apps and Games] peterbonge:
I have two little problems with the 1x1 widget. I've set it up to show the global estimates at the top and the available capacity at the bottom.

Now if I charge the device:

- The top value sometimes shows strange strings like "-5h0-27m".

- If the above happens the string is often shown in two lines -> the bottom value disappears!

And some small wishes:

- It would be nice if the "Select battery icon" dialog would show the currently selected icon in the title bar. Just like the way it works with your other app (PMW).

- Same with the background setting.

- With PMW it is possible to set click actions for the widget and the widget label. I don't think wee need both here, but being able to open the estimates screen or the settings via a click on the label could be nice.
[Android Apps and Games] dertester123:
Hey,

thanks for the last updates. Nice to have the estimates button now on fist page.

Your app provides all battery info i need for my device!! Great work.

Little question:

Since last unplug gives me a better value than all-time.

all-time 4h

average since unplug 18h

using battery (dis)charge 5d17h

Not sure why this is but actual it was 55% wich equals ~1day in my experience. So all time is somehow a wrong value :/ Deleting history didnt help i think.

Maby you know why this is, or can i send you some info to help find the problem(if its not me :D)?
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
I saw that happening very occasionnally, it's when there's a mismatch between the % change and the phone plug state... eg 10% -> 90% unplugged is wrong but will results in negative value. Need to fix this or at least block the data from being used.

Agreed, wishing the same :) Actually that's how it used to be in BMW too, but I removed it to actually make a custom preference, though never created this custom prefs!

Added to the TODO list. I'm working on issues with CM7 builds and support for more phones, so as soon as its done, will add those too.
[Android Apps and Games] Fihlvein:
Is there a way to limit the number of values the app has wrote in the log file?

I want to occasionally check the recent consumption, but the log is so big it takes unwantedly long time to open "View History". Is there a way to lets say, "keep log history for: 12h, 1 day, 1 week" and so on? That kind of user option would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Are you on CM7? Some users have reported issues viewing history on this build!

Let me explain how it works and why the file size does not matter:

- BMW opens the history file and only read the last xxx records from it and it only takes a couple of seconds!

- It actually reads the last xxx records in 2 steps:

. first step to show asap the last 400/800 records from history

. second step reading the remaining of the records

xxx records is either 1440 (automatic settings) or calculated from user-defined history length. Automatic settings results in 5 days for 5 minutes refresh rate, 1 day for 1 minute rate, half a day for 30 seconds rate, etc...

I'm not truncating the history file (anymore) so that in a future update BMW will be able to load any part of the history using paging! Will implement it when there are no more problems with viewing text history!

Using calculated length, it takes 1 or 2 seconds to read the data from the file without blocking the app! You can see 'loading history' on the main screen during that time!

The issue seems to come that the text (1440 records = ~70Kbytes) takes ages to be added to the view on some build!?

In the emulator opening the history view takes 2 seconds when the history length is set to 28 days and a 5 minutes refresh rates, that is 8064 records = ~403Kbytes!

So I'm currently investigating other ways of displaying the history text (list view, tables are no good...) so that it performs well on any ROM!
[Android Apps and Games] Fihlvein:
Ah, okay, thanks for the explanation. Sorry about making false assumptions, indeed I'm running CM7.

Sounds good, looking forward for mentioned updates. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
No problem, should put the details somewhere (for those reading descriptions :))...

Hope you and all CM7 users will have a little patience, for the past week my HD2 was dead (trying to install CM7!) and lost Internet connection for a few days... But I'm back in business and will tackle this odd/weird/complex issue asap!
[Android Apps and Games] Gunthermic:
Maybe I am way out there, but can we get an option to only show discharge mA? I only want to see what my phone is discharging in the graph and the notification bar. I want it to collect the charging info because of estimates.. but goal is using this to see how low I can get mA to extend life of battery..
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Hello Gunthermic,

I'm not sure I understand your query?

I suppose you want to filter the graph or history view to only see period of time when phone is unplugged? Putting in place a filter in the graph could be something nice...
[Android Apps and Games] shs1460:
% Available Increments

I turned on BMW % increments on my Droid 2 (stock Froyo ROM, Rooted) and there is one oddity I've noticed. When fully charged the displayed available capacity will go to as much as 105% while still in the charger. This in turn generates incorrect estimates to when it will be fully charged. For instance, it now reports 101% capacity and Full estimation now reads: 36m (-1h0-18m).

Any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Yes, there is currently no check on the limit when enabling Defy 1% increment. Didn't know the trick worked on Droid 2. And indeed the file used can report more than 100% (I've read this somewhere on XDA), so I have already changed the code to limit the value to 100%!

Will be in next update! Sorry can't provide a test version cause I'm messing with the view history screen for CM7.
[Android Apps and Games] Gunthermic:
Exactly. I don't always need to see the postive mA from charging, but want to see inthe graph the discharge rate of mA... I realize you still gather the info, but a filter to see only mA discharging on the graph.. Awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] drotaru:
i could actualy use this to see the diference in OC-ing the CPU , very nice and detailed app
[Android Apps and Games] Gunthermic:
Also about the way you report the battery capacity. I have a 1600 mAh battery, but the app reports 1350. I have run battery calibration etc againist it. Is this one of those cases where the OEm is statign battery is 1600 but it's not? Any true way of knowing? Do we just go in and put in 16000 into your program? will your program revert back if it thinks its wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] shs1460:
Great - thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
If you override the value found by the app, that value will stick no matter what. It's done that way because if you use extended battery most phones will continue to report as if a standard battery is used!

When not provided by the phone the app puts 1200. So if you get 1350 that's what the phone reports, doesn't mean it's right.

On a HD2, at some point it reported only 963!? Whereas battery is 1230... But after a charge cycle, it reported 1230 again!?
[Android Apps and Games] jeriel05:
What option do I need to select for the widget to show the most accurate time left of usage on my phone. I might be something simple but I'm confused, sometimes it says I have 7 hours left then it jumps to 5 then to 18 etc. Right now I have selected real time estimate, I am using a 2600 ma battery and I changed the battery capacity manually. How exactly does it calculate the usage time left? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Real-time estimate is based on mA value and current mAh capacity.

Time left = mAh / mA, eg 2600 mAh / 200 mA = 26 hours left

So when you switch on the phone and mA is at let say 4mA and battery is at 50%, that gives you: 1300 / 4 = 375 hours

mA being refreshed every minute by the system, less than a minute later you might get mA= 400, thus giving you 1300 / 400 = 3.75 hours.

This is an instantaneous result, hence real-time. So if you play a game and you check remaining time and it says 2 hours, you have 2 hours left playing this game, that is 2 hours with the same consumption.

I personally prefer to use average/overal and current estimates. First is your overall estimates averaging previous charge/discharge cycles, and the second is estimated based on consumption since you unplugged the phone.

Hope it helps understand how it works.
[Android Apps and Games] jeriel05:
Thanks for the information and the quick reply. Keep up the good work and thanks for creating this app.
[Epic 4G General] wtam1100:
Trying to install viper rom on my epic and when I'm in clockwork recovery mode it gives me this error:

E:/ Cant open / cache/ recovery/log

What does this mean? What can i do to resolve this. I keep getting errors when I try to install the rom.
[Epic 4G General] 2sslow:
I believe you are in the wrong version of clockwork. For the latest viperRom the cwm needs to be Orange 3.0.0.5
[Epic 4G General] raylusk:
Reroot your phone with one click and try again. It appears your phone has lost root. If that doesn't work their are posts in the viper rom thread that describe a process of going back to stock and working your way to viper rom 4.02b. Another alternative is if you haven't flashed viper rom 4.01 first you might try that.
[Epic 4G General] wtam1100:
Dont think that is the problem I cant install any ROM s right now including the stock ROM.
[Epic 4G General] raylusk:
Reflash one click root. It will reinstall clockwork for you and that might fix your issue. If not you might have to use odin to go back to stock. The links for this stuff is in the sticky above.
[Epic 4G General] 2sslow:
What v. are you trying to install? Is it ext4? what color is the text (v. #) in cwm?
[Epic 4G General] wtam1100:
CWM v2.5.1.0. I'm looking for the how to to use odin to get back to stock now
[Epic 4G General] wtam1100:
I think where i screwed up real bad is I tried to installed the viper ext 4 b4 actually installing the DK 17 2.8.
[Epic 4G General] raylusk:
Yeah you need to instal the dk28 modem first. In the epic sticky their is a version of dk28 froyo that you can flash through odin. Try that and then one click root and then instal viper rom.
[Epic 4G General] wtam1100:
Thanks for the advise got it back to stock now will try again.
[Epic 4G General] wtam1100:
Got that Viper installed now. Thanks for all the help from eveyone. I know so much more about the phone now. Good learning experience even thought it was very stressfull at that time.
[Epic 4G General] raylusk:
Great news. Glad it worked out for you.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianBusby2038:
Not sure which version you're running but handcent 3.2.9 doesn't edit out curse words.It might not recognize one the first time its used,just make sure you choose it from the selected matches and it will remember it for the next time.

[HTC Aria General] vicmora5:
Ok this is going to sound really stupid but hear me out I'm POSITIVE I didn't delete the videos off my phone.

So yesterday I was out with some friends just chilling and I took some pretty funny videos of some of my friends. To share them with my friends I decided I was gonna upload them to youtube, but I couldnt do it directly from my phone for some reason. So I decided to email both video files via gmail to myself then upload them later on the computer. I check a couple hours later and the message is still sending, because of the amount of memory both videos were I assume, so I decided to give up and just find them on the sd card then move them to my pc. So I delete the message that was sending with the attached files since I wasnt going to go about it that way anymore, but then I go back and look through my phone and notice I cant find the videos. By attaching them to my gmail did I move them off the SD card?
[HTC Aria General] Moh_Jay:
I don't know about your main problem but in order to send pics/videos your carriers mobile data must be on, it will not work if only WiFi is enabled.
[HTC Aria General] vicmora5:
Sorry I knew it was too confusing. The uploading wasn't the main problem, my main question is if by me attaching those video files to my email then deleting them while they were still in the sending process, did I basically just delete those files off my sd card too??
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
It shouldn't have deleted the videos, not sure how that could have happened.

Not if you're sending them in Gmail like he was.
[HTC Aria General] vicmora5:
Yeah that's why I'm confused, idk they're no where to be found I guess I did something stupid, im still sure I didnt delete them myself though.. /:
[HTC Aria General] drowningchild:
What usually happens with me is the gallery app doesn't read new vids or pics when its running I kill the app & they pop up
[HTC Aria General] vicmora5:
I have a problem with the gallery app too!! Looking closely one of the random camera videos, it has a screenshot from a different video I did delete. How is this possible.. I may have deleted the two videos by accident because of this. Is there any sort of trashcan?
[HTC Aria General] drowningchild:
Its the cache it happens to me when I "hide" videos I think under sdcard/android/data/com.cooliris... there is a file for video cache delete it & it should fix the thumbnails I usually delete the cache & I get less crashes & its faster loading pics
[HTC Aria General] vicmora5:
So I cant just delete everything in that cache folder? or Just delete the video cache?
[HTC Aria General] drowningchild:
I delete the whole file as it will rebuild the cache
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
Have you tried using a program to locate the deleted files and "undelete" them?

http://download.cnet.com/Pandora-Recovery/3000-2094_4-10694796.html?tag=mncol;7
[HTC Aria General] vicmora5:
The files were never on my computer though /:
[HTC Aria General] barisahmet:
You can "undelete" from SDCARD with 3rd party applications, I have done long time ago. But I am not sure you can do it since android writes/modifies sdcard too much.
[HTC Aria General] vicmora5:
OK ill give it a go hopefully it works.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Dear users,

Considering all 3C apps are now based on the same source code, they all behave the same way, and will exhibit the same issues. Any queries will also likely applies to all apps.

To make my life easier while continuing to provide support here (and start with a clean slate), I decided to close all my app threads and open a fresh new thread here.

With your continuous help and support, the past 4 years have been a great adventure and experience. Let's take a fresh start and continue this amazing adventure.

Thank you all!

We're working on System Tuner version 3.0. Beta testing should be available soon, stay tuned.

Please check this for a 3-in-1 integrated app: ANDROID TUNER.

ANDROID TUNER IS NOT A REPLACEMENT APP BUT AN INTEGRATION OF ALL 3C APPS AND MANY OTHER

There are 2 options for existing users wishing to use the integrated version:

1) you can use Android Tuner Free which unlocks all already paid features from Battery Monitor Widget Pro and System Tuner Pro (except widgets)

2) or you can use a discount on Android Tuner paid version with this migration offer, note however we can no longer refund old apps as before because refund policy on Play Store have changed since December 20th

We're currently using Android Tuner's existing source code to rebuild BMW and ST from scratch, this is a lot of work and requires a lot of manual handling to avoid these:

- A 10MB APK instead of today's 2MB APK.

- A near-bug-free experience, beta testing will run for a long time with selected users, depending on users' feedback and app usage.

- Accurate data migration for user switching from 2.x to 3.0 without data loss.

- Removing features from BMW without breaking the app (battery data)

- Keeping a low memory footprints splitting UI and services components

- Keeping app performance as high as possible (version checks at run time)

- Removing features using new permissions without breaking the app (sms, contacts, etc). More than 20 permission in AT!

Note that the above is very complex and represents a lot of work, so it will take time before 3.0 is actually published.

More coming soon, stay tuned.

how can i get this?
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Available on the Market, search either 'Process Monitor Widget' or '3c06'
[Android Apps and Games] totalz:
found it in market, but the download won't start...
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Did you succeed downloading the app? I had download problems in Market with certain ROM, never found why... maybe it's related?
[Android Apps and Games] totalz:
Could be because of the customized rom, I'm a newbie with x10, just installed the blue spark rom on my 2nd day use, because of the flop score... I tried all day yesterday downloading the widget, search the web for fixes, but no, the download just won't start (or finish)! Really want to try this app to see cpu mhz & usage on "front panel"!

I even used the SDK and emulate avd to download the file...

May be u would consider posting it here? Oh, I even installed Slide 4.0, but they don't have your app, may be u can post there as an alternative? Can download there no problem, just tried aiSystem.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Hello totalz,

Sorry for the late reply, I've been quite busy lately.

I'd rather email it to you, so I don't have old versions to update here and there in the future. PM me for my email or directly from Google Market.
[Android Apps and Games] zeppelinrox:

Any thoughts about combining your battery monitor widget functions and tying the battery consumption to the process? Maybe I'm over(under)thinking it, but being able to see graphically process history vs battery consumption per process would be very helpful to narrowing down inefficient apps.

[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Used Lee's ROM yesterday (latest ROM and latest kernel 3.1), but now testing on ARHD (seems smoother).

Does it run the OC deamon? can't remember now. If so you could either use it from System Tuner (in active tweaks uncheck the disable) otherwise it's best to disable it: OC deamon docs says it automatically disable itself but it's untrue!

I'm preparing some code to actually disable it completely from System Tuner depending on user settings!

Otherwse you can either delete the following files or rename the binary file to keep it around in case you want to use it back:

/system/virtuous_oc

/system/xbin/virtuous_oc (rename this binary to simply disable)

/system/init.d/98oc

I did delete all, so it's just from memory, but will put it back to test the disabling from ST.
