ie the exact mV drain
the 'battery life' widget shows the current mV value. No graph/history though.

Hello,
please help me find a program that would be a today plugin, that can calculate battery state percentage from it's voltage measuring.
Thanks.
Today Warrior does it; I'm sure that there are many others. Go look at the plugin section at pocketpcfreeware.com.
Thank you for your reply.
The program that you showed, like many others, do not perform as I want.
The battery driver can return battery percentage and battery voltage. The problem is, battery driver for my device shows only 1%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% grade, while voltage lowers smoothly. So I need a program that can calculate the battery percentage on its own, not tajen from a driver.
Does anyone know such a program as a Today plugin?
Thanks.

it shows the battery gauge smoothly! and will always remain above all your programs.
hope this helps!
Is there a way to measure the state of battery to 1% accuracy, i understand that the battery manager only does in intervals of 10%. I was wondering if i could use the charge counter. I found it to be 85 and 95 when battery state changed from 80% to 90% and 90% to 100% respectively. I am not sure how to measure the % in between intervals. Also i cannot found any batt_current in my sys folder(its motorola atrix 4G). Please any suggestions would do. Thanks.
Hello, give a try to the Battery Monitor Widget application on the Store.
It is a real great application to log the battery life.
I've seen a couple of people reporting that their fuel gauge wacked out and reported wildly changing battery percentages. Like going from 85 to 25% suddenly. It doesn't happen often but I've seen at least 3-4 reports.
If this happens to you:
Install CurrentWidget or another program that lets you monitor battery voltage. Not percentage state of charge, but raw voltage. Report the battery voltage you see when your fuel gauge wacks out. It should be around 3.9-4.0 volts at least when at 85%, and if the fuel gauge is reporting 25% and batt voltage is up there, the fuel gauge has gone bonkers, either due to I2C data getting corrupted or the chip just flaking out.
Edit: Before trying the below, you may be able to reset the chip without a battery pull. Run the following command in a shell. You must have root privileges - in recent Infused betas you will always have root via ADB, if using Android Terminal Emulator you may need to su first.
Code:
echo "1" >/sys/class/power_supply/battery/reset_soc
The above should be our device's equivalent of wiping battery stats.
If that doesn't work:
Power down, pull battery for 10-20 seconds, reinsert and power up. Does the problem continue?
Removing battery power completely will reset the fuel gauge IC. Rebooting without battery pull may not.
There is no point in wiping battery stats - our fuel gauge chip does not have any sort of host-controlled calibration routine. If you want your battery to "settle out" - wait 30-60 minutes of normal operation, that's all you need.
This actually applies for any phone with a MAX8998 PMIC.
You need root to do this.
You can use the Run Code function in Tasker and put - dumpsys battery unplug
This will stop the phone from charging (thru all charging methods) until battery level drops.
If you wish to permanently stop charging the phone until a certain % then you have to set Moto Mod to efficiency mode then trick the phone to thinking it is still within a certain % with - dumpsys battery set level 81
This will artificially set the battery level to 81%, above the efficiency mode level and, stop the phone from polling battery stats.
To restart polling of battery stats use - dumpsys battery reset
Use Tasker events to control the execution of commands.
For example:
On Display On:
dumpsys battery reset
On Display On and if Battery Level is Between 50 to 81:
dumpsys battery set level 81
dumpsys battery unplug
This shooting up of android os process battery usage is only after the root.
Google play services and other GAPPS have already been removed from the whitelist of power saving. I have been using my mobile hostpot for about 6 hours and 6 hours standby after it and this is the usage through Better Battery Stats app, from full charge to 39%.
Samsung smart manager shows android OS as the major culprit.
Also total computed power usage doesn't amount to the decrease in battery power. Total power usage is amounting ~ 1000 mAh but battery is of 2600 mAh, this is happening after root and I have fully drained and charged while switched off to full to calibrate the battery, but same.
Earlier real usage time was equal to what is now but estimated usage time was just double when all GAPPS and gms were running in background.
I am posting the screenshots. Can somebody let me know the reason for this and how can I disable the wakelock visible in the Better Battery Stats screenshot?
Does anybody have an idea of reducing Mobile Radio power reported by android OS process?
