Measure charge draw?

Hi guys
Are there any apps that can display how much current (mAh) is being drawn while charging? I recently purchased a usb car charger that claims to output at 1 amp (1000 mAh) per usb port (it has two) and i want to test it.
Any suggestions? I'd like to be able to do this without any additional hardware

Elixir can do this (you'll have to add a widget on your homescreen and select Battery Current in the list of applications that are proposed).
For example I can see the difference between my wall charger (850 mA/h) and my laptop (400 mA/h).
EDIT: you can also find the information directly in the Elixir application by clicking on the battery category

Thanks a bunch, man :] It seems to work but for some reason the widget isn't there.
Apparently my Mytouch 4g (Htc Glacier) maxes out at around 480 mA/h. Is this a hardware limitation?

Where's the battery current located? I can't find it on my captivate.

Well I'm a girl indeed
I don't know whether this limit can be changed. I would think that it can't but it's just my thought. Maybe other members can give more information?

Have you installed Elixir? If yes, just open it and click on the first line where you can see a battery icon. In the pop up window there's "Current".

Strange ... What do you see when you open Elixir? You don't see the battery picture?

On ZTE Blade battery is present, and clicking it gives no mention of charge draw, neither does the homescreen widget for battery, that just pulls up the built in "settings" power panel.

I assume it depends on the device. I've attached 2 screenshots of my device for you to see.

Notification LED on Desire S / Blink duration

that's my problem:
i got a desire s and realized the notification led only blinks about 5 minutes after missed calls or new messages.
then it stops.
apps like light flow, missed reminder, easy reminder, all together don't work well or don't work at all!
it must be possible to find an app to extend the blinking of the led to infinite!?
the colour of the led is not significant in this case, green would be enough.
i have no root and s-on.
i heard it would be possible to extend the blinking with "light flow" , but only with root access.
can you help me to find a good solution without rooting? on my old desire it worked very well without root! so my new desire s should do it as well....

First, POST QUESTIONS IN THE GENERAL SECTION.
Secondly, I've not paid much attention, but i'm pretty sure mine doesn't stop until i check my phone.

sorry for the post!
but maybe it's because i use stock rom and no custom rom?
the problem with the led notification für 5min should be relevant for every stock rom... for sure.

I checked, and the problem is there in the ROM i'm using. Just never noticed it.............. It doesn't really bother me, not that big an issue. I can live with this, cuz i'll see the notification as soon as i open the phone.

I have this "problem" as well, the time is too short, but if it's infinite it would drain the battery even faster, which isn't wat we want either..

I think that's why HTC made it short in the first place.

yes.... to stop the notification after 5 min to save battery makes no sense.
...that's the reasen why the led blinks infinite in orange when the battery is low?
i think that htc did't really get the meaning of a notification led!

any news?...
can't be spoken the last word..

Post the Problem to HTC and hope for changing with next update!

Why dont you try the app called "Missed reminder"
It's free on the market.
***Ignore this post- I never read first post properly****

cause missed reminder doesn't work.
there's no app for the desire s that works so far, i think!

Hi,
The app Light Flow works, but you need root.

Also phoneAlarm works as it is supposed to. This being said on a rooted Desire S and you have to pay about 2 US dollars for the full version.

Questions

As more of us get our Surface I have the following issues I am hoping someone can answer.
Need a good Exchange client===I read touchdown next week is releasing
Video Player that does MKV==
Once I have these 2 issues filled I will be able to hand off my Transformer prime to my son.
I will also have to wait a month to link my xbox live account

I haven't tried to setup my work email yet, but isn't exchange support included? or you're just looking for something better?
Now, my question. Anyone know where can I see the battery percentage?

Just go to desktop, where your windows laptop displays battery percentage.

Yea I figures that way out too but it's sorta a pain just to go to the desktop to see battery life. You would think it was somewhere else lol

I do not want my personal and work emails in the same client. Android allowed me to use gmail and then email.
I use touchdown until Windows Pro comes out with full outlook.

theres a battery icon on the lock screen and if you swipe from the right edge to the left .... but no percentage

High android system usage

Hi all, after owning my S7 G930FD for about 6 months, i've got huge battery drain caused by android system always in top of my battery stats,draining more than the screen. Yesterday i flashed the latest firmware with a FULL wipe, also formatted my sd card, waited until the second cycle and it's back again,i have no idea what the hell is going on, it also happened when the phone still didnt update or install any app after the firmware installation. I remember having similar problem with the S6 on latest MM builds and Nougat, are they doing this on purpose ? Check my screenshot below i just took it right now, my only guess left now is the sd card,i'm not really sure, please tell if you have similar problem or if possible provide your battery stats so i can compare android system usage,thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:

Get Accubattery and monitor current draw. If it is at more than 500mA while on the home screen then something is up.

@Soufiansky
Your Battery-Usage is perfect. This drain which you can see is normal, i think.
Below you can see my battery stats with 14 minutes SOT, and no background Apps running.
