Battery Testing Software? - General Topics

Hi all,
I'm looking for some battery testing software as I need to grab logs for a range of PPC/W5/W6 devices, I'm after basically battery status reading every 30 mins. I need to be able to get the data from 100% to 0% and the time.
Preferably this would work externally via a usb to a PC as the devices come installed with our own proprietry system that restricts some of the functions that come as standard.
If anyone has any suggestions I'd be very grateful.
Many thanks
Ben

Where is your battery indicator coming from? Standard OS, or have you tried 3rd party ones as well?
What does it show in settings > power?

ok, please send me a url to download this program, however i think this will not solve the problem, but i will try, also please tell me how to backup the extended rom incase that i try to install another rom version, if that may solve the problem
B.Regards
i made a backup of the extended rom, and installed the latest rom available here for the magician, same version number as my old one, and still nothing, battery indicator show 100% and doesnt move
sounds to me like an internel fault of the phone... possibly some grit has entered the phone and damaged the votage sensing cercuit.
Also (not sure about this phone), some devices have a smart battery where there is a small pcb inside it that reports to the phone the batteries serial no, charge level and other ACPI type info. If this is the case, you might try a new battery, it may fix it
Someone correct the above if they know the battery does not contain anything but... well a battery.

Cruise keeping content when changing the battery

Hi all,
today I was forced to play a bit with my sim card (at the end I realized it is no longer working, after "just" 10 years) so I had to swtich off several time the telephone (long press on the on/off button) removing also the battery to switch between some sim I had at home.
Well, I made a backup before doing the job, but no need to use it: the phone never lost all the content/data/setup
It is true battery was removed just for 15/20 seconds, but I was expecting loosing everything.
I'm pretty new with WM phones; it is a standard behavior for this kind of phones or just chance?
In the first case, I could be motivated to buy a second battery (you can swap them like a charm)
Thanks for your inputs.
Newer WM devices like the Polaris do not lose their data when you remove the battery. you can keep the battery out for several minutes (maybe longer). This used to be a problem for older devices such as the Cassiopeia and Ipaq.

HELP: Device constantly crashes at any moment/action

I have problem with my Sensation which lasts already 3-4 months.
Maybe someone has same issue and can or suggest what to do.
Lyrics:I'm quit advanced linux user admin, so patching flashing etc is not really hard for me. But i don't want to get super into android internals and debries. i just need plug and play device and i consider all firmwares as plug and play upload to phone restart get new firmware. but something like incorrect battery usage or fixing android video drivers is not for coz i have enough headache at with similar issues on other kind of devices. So hope you understand.
Hope it's not hardware problem and only software.
So here we go:
1 Phone can switch off at any moment while answering sms, opening some folder, settings or whatever interaction.
Or it just switching off in same amount of time like 10-15 minutes
It's not restarting it's switching off, even if it has 100% battery.
2 while it being switched off and on (switched on manually) it shows different battery status like 70% after some time it's switching on and on next boot it's already has 83 percent.
every reboot different percents from higher values to lower e.g. 75 32 59 12 96 5
3 while booting in 4EXT recovery i think it showes proper percentage because it's not jumping and remains constant.
4 My phone specs: vanilla HtcSensation ARHD 6.7.2 (this problem started from early 6.x as i remember ). Bootlocker unlocked. proper firmware and radio.
HBOOT 1.29.0000
radio 11.24a.3504.31_m
OpenADSP v05.6.0.2226.00.0418
Have 2xbattery anker 1900mAh
5 I can't catch any messages in a Logcat it's being cleared off while switching on/off. If you can suggest any remote logging capabilities for android real time log monitoring on remote host i'll apreciate it.
6 Sometimes absolute clean install with superwipe like fixes phone and it remeins stable for several days like normally draining battery from 100% to 0% without sudden crashes.
7 while this problem occurs it can shuttodw exatly after boot. and after next restart it may boot without crashes untill some interaction or period of time.
8 while this problem and booted into the system and charging from this fake low "percents" it takes hours to gain 1% like from 12 to 13 it took 3 hours, but not always
9 While phone is connected to pc via USB it remains stable without crashes, never switched off while on USB. But during restarts still shows different battery percents.
like right now i had phone connected to usb whole day long and got 100% showed in system. after manual restart system now shows 80% while in recovery it shows proper "full" battery
Please maybe someone will help me to fix phone without bringing it back by warranty
ROMS
Have you tried using another ROM ?
If you like Sense ROM's try using Elegancia.
I also say try using Elegancia, i have used others on my sensation and to me i think it is the best one,

[Q] GPS/sport phone

Hey,
I'd like to use a smartphone for GPS tracking/heart rate for sports. The problem by using a regular phone is the battery time...
So any suggestions for that? Is there a basic ROM with only essential functions, which hardly uses battery power?(it doesn't even have to us internet, phoning, etc. ) Just tracking
Greetings

Bluetooth (BlueZ) issues on Samsung Tab7.7 CarbonRom (latest by Daniel_hk)
Hi!
Having flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723126 pretty one, I've experiencing unstable bluetooth connection with almost everything. Philips bluetooth music station connects after 10 seconds only for half a minute then drops (i can see a slight screen flash-redraw on the phablet), car multimedia does not discover the phablet as a 'phone' device (only audio), which means no convenient hands-free for me. And I'm not alone to these problems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55861531&postcount=103, 'alnon' describes same issue.
Can someone check out this ROM and/or confirm this bug? Also, if anyone knows of a solution/fix, please advise!
A Big Thank-You to Daniel
I've used some of Daniel's roms before, but I have to say that the Carbon rom is by far the best -- fast, with low battery usage, and a chance to use KitKat.
Thanks.
Samsung Tab 6800 CarbonRom
Hi,
I just installed the unofficial CarbonRom(4.4.4) release on my Samsung Galaxy Tab P6800. I upgraded from official rooted ICS using TWRP. The tab boots up fine but hangs within a minute of operation. Please help and let me know if you guys have any ideas on what is causing this.
Regards
Here I installed last build (december one) and bluetooth cant receive files from another android, neither can turned off. I have a p6800.
Bluetooth bug... cant turn off
I really like this carbon Rom. It runs like a Mercedes SL. But i have one big problem,. Once i turn on Bluetooth, i am not able to dissable it. Every time i try to switch it of, it turns on itself short time after again. I think it is the so called "cant't turn oft issue". But i cant find a solution to fix this. Actually Bluetooth is always in in my Device. But i dont need it.
Any help would be great
Best regards

Bluetooth problem
Hi there,
I was reading for years until I yesterday decidet to flash (from stock) to this rom.
All went fine (besides a corrupt backup, sh. happens)
All seems to work besides: bluetooth.
I thougt there should be no Bluetooth issue with this rom?
I can turn BT on or off, but the Tab doesn't find any bluetooth device.
I canNOT turn on its visibility for other devices. Its not found by eg. my pc.
Anyone who had the same problem?
With stockrom it worked all fine, no hardware change.
THANK YOU - to anybody who finds some minutes to care about a newbie

This Build work well except Bt
I installed the 12 december version with opengapps nano GAPPS package. But I get a horrible wakelock on google play services, no matter what I try. I can't seem to track it down or solve it.. (tracked it down with Wakelock Detector, GSAM Battery Monitor). It's preventing deep sleep. Any tips?
Tab 7.7 CarbonRom KitKat starts automatically when charging
Hi,
I've installed [ROM][4.4.4r2]p6800/p6810/i815(12Dec2014)CarbonROM Kitkat Unofficial on my tab 7.7. with TWRP recovery project 3.0.2-0. Although everything seems to be working fine, except known issues, I have one issue. When I turn off my tablet and start charging, my tablet automatically starts/reboots after a minute or so. Is there a way from preventing this automatically reboot when charging, while I my tab is shut down? I want to charge my tab turned off because it will charge much faster. I've been looking around for same issues of different devices and possible solutions but nothing seems to work for me:
- Disabeling Stay a Wake while charging.
- Turn off while charging cable is already connected.
- Switch to original cables, chargers or not using data cable
- Can't edit LPM, PLayLPM, IPod, etc., because I can't find such battery animation file
#!/system/bin/sh
sleep 40 (Maybe I can change the amount of time to boot while charging, e.g. to 100.000)
/system/bin/reboot
- Delete Cache and Data-storage.
- Maximize CPU Frequency to max. 1400 Mhz.
Can somebody please help me and find me a solution!?

The automatic reboot when charging was a bug in the old Kitkat Rom's that Daniel fixed with Android Lollipop rom's, its a feature of those builds.
