Default Battery Monitor Widget Pro - no mA reading?

Does anyone here have Battery Monitor Widget or the Pro version installed, and if so, are you able to get a current (mA) reading? When I first installed it, I got readings for the first 5 or 6 points, maybe 30 seconds worth, but since then it only says 2mA, while voltage, temperature, and % are all reading fine.

I experienced similar issue with current widget. But no mA reading at all. I think the reason for this is that the Note "hides" this data.
First I hoped root would fix it but it didn't.

DONATE TO ME
This happens because the Note like the Galaxy s2 PM chipset doesn't offer ma readings nor battery calibration. The apps that offers ma readings are more or less accurate because the values are only estimates readings.

The developer responded to me and suggested I needed to manually override the battery's capacity. He didn't tell me how, but I found it:

Menu > Settings > Monitoring > Battery capacity

Manually entering the capacity here results in mAH being displayed now. Unfortunately, I wanted to use this program to analyze actual battery capacity for comparing the OEM to some aftermarkets; I don't know if I can effectively do this if I have to fudge the capacity.

I have sent feedback numerous times to the developer - no reply so far. Good to know that at least I can manually enter the correct capacity instead of 1500 that it was showing.

Right. THe lastest app 2.0.1 update shows 2500mAh in config.

Base on developer, the readings are estimated not actual. So it takes changes in batt% to calculated estimated.

*sigh
Which Batt app can measure Samsung!!?!

%/hour shows right in widget but totally ****ed up in the app graph, in fact it's acting as opposite as it should :

When sleeping, it grows a lot, when using it gets way dow 0... Same for mAh... Why? How to fix that?
