LG has implemented its own battery graph. But I am so used to the standard android battery graph as it shows more information on awake vs screen time.
Anyone has any way to get the graph back on our LG? Thanks.

I need an app which can record battery status against time and also tell me what has caused the drain at a particular point of time. Is there any ? Please advise.
I need that as I am facing a weird issue where my battery drains till 60 normally and after that it suddenly falls to 30 and from then again it goes on normally . It happened twice and I am worried about what is causing this ..... any idea ?
Battery Graph will display battery usage but as far as i'm aware it won't tell you what app etc...
I think there is one called Juice Plotter although I'm not sure how much more information that will give.
The stock Battery Usage thing in the Settings/Status will help with what percentage of the battery has been used up until that point. e.g. if you are on 60% then it will display a percentage of that 40% that app has used.
e.g. 25% (screen), 10% (cell standby) etc etc!
I have had quite bad battery drain issues for a while, and searched BBS dump files and forums for an answer, but the logs appear normal with no unusual wakelocks. In short, the battery consumption profile is OK but it just goes too fast. So I concluded I needed a new battery and was too cheap to buy Samsung original battery and instead got a noname type (same capacity, 1500 mAh).
But it didn't help. Still 12-16 hr standby with low use (<1 hr screen time at lowest brightness).
So I tested the health of the two batteries by draining them as fast as possible. I used the app "Battery Drain" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fuzzyoneapps.BatteryDrain) and drained using full screen brigtness, wifi, bluetooth, gps, CPU but NOT the vibrate function.
The results are attached to this post. As observed, there's no big difference between the two batteries. And I don't know what to expect.
So now I'd like someone else to do the same test so that we can compare the results
Basically, just 1) Run the app with all the settings turned on except vibrate, 2) make note of battery percentage, 3) leave it for exactly one hour, and 4) check percentage again. Is ~45% per hour normal for the nexus s?
Thanks in advance
I have little to no coding experience and am seeking some advice. I have recently acquired a Zerolemon extended battery for my note 4 and no matter I do or try I cannot get the battery to calibrate with the phone properly. Under heavy use the battery will drop to 1% after 18-20 hours and then hang there for another 10-12 hours.
So my idea is to use the battery voltage to give me a better idea of what i have left on the battery. After multiple cycles the numbers have been about the same. My max is 4.392v and shuts off at around 3.441v. So I came up with the formula
**100-((MaxV-CurrentV)x10) = Current % based on voltage**. My question is, how hard is it to write code to pull a value(current battery voltage) from the phone, and display the value in a widget on the screen. Is it something I could learn relatively easy or should I charge someone else with doing it?
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
I have a 3 year old galaxy s9+. In the most recent battery test I did on it, i got a solid 8-9 hour SOT on a video loop test.
Sometime after that, my battery started dying quickly at 30%. I searched online and battery calibration seemed to be the way to correct it. I did it and now my phone retains less than 67% of its actual charge. Meaning, it dies every 3-4 hours now. It charges insanely quickly too. Obviously the battery hasn't degraded by a while 20% since the video test since that was done only 2 months back. Please help!
The Android OS has a feature called Battery Stats, which keeps track of battery capacity, charge level, etc.pp. Most times the problem lies with how the Android OS reads and displays the current charge level of the battery, not the battery itself. The Android OS file that houses these informations may be corrupt or even missing.
Calibrating your "Android" battery simply means getting the Android OS to correct this collected information so it is reflective of your actual battery charge level once again. Your device's Android must be rooted to successfully calibrate the "Android" battery by means of of a "Battery Calibrator" app like this one:

Take not that simply running a battery calibrator app isn't all what you have to do,

TY for the detailed reply. I definitely don't regret asking on xda! I will follow these procedures and update on the progress. TY
EDIT: The battery calibrating app you had linked doesn't seem to be working. It doesn't go past the log in screen. I've gone through the calibrating wiki you linked. I'll try that.
Hello,
I followed the excellent guide linked below for help with calibration of a Samsung battery.

Unfortunately, it did not solve my problem. I was hoping someone here might be able to help.
My battery calibration issue is different to anything I've seen before. I had the usual battery problems and got a replacement battery fitted. My current problem is that the battery has more charge than the phone realises (which is the opposite of the usual problem one tends to see with a bad battery).
The battery level falls quickly from 100% down to 1% at a rate of about 10% per hour. But then it stays at 1% for AGES! Even if I leave a video running on YouTube on maximum brightness. A minimum of 30 minutes but possibly more. So there's plenty of milliamps in there, it's just that the phone doesn't realise this.
I tried following methods 1 and 3 from the guide linked to above but the problem is still there.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for your reply. I've tried this but unfortunately this hasn't fixed the issue. Any other suggestions?
Has the battery ever been replaced? This kind of behavior can happen with a failing battery.
FYI: If phone's battery health shows less than 80% then battery should get replaced.

Yes the battery has been replaced recently. Within the last 6 months.
Where do I see the battery health from? It's a Galaxy S7.
