Does it works with nexus 5 and android L,

Because..

The Nexus5 sensor is very likely reporting mA differently. Please make sure to run last version of the app, and send a support request from app settings, help and support so we can review mA history and available reporting methods. Don't forget to mention your issue in the request.

Hi @3c, I just bought the in-app for removing ads, but the ads aren't being removed. I tried restarting the phone (twice), and also deleted app data, but the ads are still there. I'm on a Nexus 5 w/ 4.4.4, rooted. Anything else I can try?

If you contacted us recently for that, please note the in-app purchase was cancelled when you first emailed us and we sent you an updated APK earlier today, also published on Play Store. After running tests, it appeared the purchase process could no longer complete.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for letting us know.

Thank you, that wasn't me but I just got the update on the Play Store, all is good now.

I love the feature of showing the mA in the status bar, but there isn't an option for just white, they all seem to be red when discharging and green when charging. Would it be possible it in white? Thanks.

Hello

I used the BMW on my OPO,. and in the history i saw the values like: -5mA, -7mA, -9mA and the charging was (+)1981mA.

After i bought the PRO version, i get this number with POSITIVE valuse, so the discharging was 5mA, 7mA, 9mA, and the charging was -1981mA.

So how can i change the setting that i would see the values like in the non-PRO version? With negativ the discharging and with positive the charging.

Thanks

Laca

Hello@all
i haf a little qustin.
On screenshot 1 on my old Note 2 i have to graph.
I dont no anymore how i make this.
Screnshot 2 is my New Note 4.

how can i make aktiv, the second graph?https://www.dropbox.com/sc/9a5o14mlypckuts/AACHBnQwaAXYc8z5AYIYljoDa

It's in xda rules that all posts must be made on English.
I don't know what kind of childish language you're using here and I don't think G translate will help you.

Edit:
OK I'm not a moderator, so just ignore this message as I will do with yours....

Battery Capacity based on AC Power mAh and mV specifications.

According to the instructions, the user must enter the AC Adapter's mAh and mV specifications as listed on the AC Power adapter for the Battery Capacity Measurement algorithm to determine the battery capacity.. However, are these figures accurate enough to allow for a an accurate calcuation of the battery capacity?

AC power adapters have been known to output below their specifications which would then improperly off-set the Battery capacity calculations, would it not?

For example, the Samsung AC power adapter lists 2000mA at 5v, but according to the Galaxy Current App, it's only supplying 1800mAh when the screen is off, and 1200mAh when the screen is on.

So what is the proper number to enter into the AC Calibration Field?

Entering a number higher than the actual power supply will yield falsely inflated battery capacity and vice-versa

You shouldn't use Current App as it only reports hard-coded values that have no meaning. Your adapter provides 2Amp at 5v and the device will use what it actually wants, some for the screen (about 600mA for a 5") and the remaining to charge the battery.

However when % get above 70% the charging rate will drop to avoid burning the battery and reduce aging. fast-charge + %>70 + heat = faster battery aging.

Nevertheless, 2Amp @5v means a charge rate (screen off) from 2800mA down to 2300mA. You can verify that in your history. Now, if it goes any higher, that means the current capacity is over-rated. This basic principle works great and measure the charging capacity. We're working on the same for discharging capacity, however there's no actual limit to what a device can drain. A 10" screen will drain about 1200-1500mA, while a 5" will drain less than 600mA, and those values will also varies with the screen brightness and also the content on LED display. White = full drain, Black = near-zero drain.

To get accurate results, it's best to charge the device from 0% to 70% while screen's off, as the app cannot determine screen and CPU actual drain.

Entering higher values will prevent app from adjusting capacity but will not inflate battery capacity either.

@3c I remember having read something about battery statistics being more accessible on Lollipop. Do you know yet if Battery Monitor Widget will be able to do more, or the same with better accuracy?

All I've seen so far is the Android battery usage provides slightly better results or better UI, showing consumed mAh, but appart from that access to battery stats is still restricted on Lollipop.

Here is how battery stats work on Android:
- OS gather app activities and states all the time.
- Manufacturer provides components consumption information (eg screen consumes x mA in state Sx, CPU consumes y mA in state Sy, etc).
- OS calculates estimated consumption based on gathered information and components consumption.
- OS calculates real mAh consumption based on % lost (eg 10% lost = 250mAh)
- OS adjusts all calculated consumption based on real mAh consumption and total calculated mAh consumption.

So the accuracy of the stats highly depends on manufacturer having done it's home work: measuring real consumption of the device components in every possible states.

Some manufacturer just don't do it and leave it to the default AOSP values, which is likely not accurate.

There's a full description and guidelines for manufacturers in some profile files in the AOSP source code.

Now I am pondering which manufacturers actually do a better job?

Not working on Note 4

@3c I checked the battery stats is not reported correctly on Samsung Note 4

There's no way we can help with statements like "this does not work". Please check the system helper is properly installed (and listed in apps list), please attach a screenshot and explain what is wrong and what you expected.

The mA drain report was not showing up on Automatic mode, then I changed the mA retrieval method to estimated and it has started working again. I have attached the screenshot below. It was working on automatic mode on my note 3.
Above tested on Note 4 Exynos SM-910C

So it's not the battery stats you were referring to, but the current mA. Note 4 can use "Advent Vega". This will be the default (automatic) in next update.
