5.5v output solar charger and G2x compatibility

is a 5.5v output solar charger compatible with G2x? I've seen it shown that 5.5v is supposed to have a wide range of compatibility of 3.6v-7v and also i've seen 3.6-5.6v. i keep finding people saying that it would work and some saying it isn't safe. all solar chargers ive seen use output 5.5v as their wide range choice it seems. some even only have 5.5v output. Just don't want to fry anything.
is there anyone who has an EXPERT opinion and not just speculation. Either from experience with this same thing or has an electrical degree with knowledge on this subject or something along those lines so i can put this question to bed?
thanks

Anyone has experience with such solar charger? I'm thinking of getting one as well

5.5 volts is totally fine for connecting to the phone. According to the P999 service manual, the internal charger chip can handle up to 28VDC input.
3.10.4 Charging control
P999 uses individual Charger IC which is RT9524.
Features
? 28V Maximum Rating for DC Adapter
? Internal Integrated Power MOSFETs
? Support 4.2V/2.3A Factory Mode
? 50mA Low Dropout Voltage Regulator
? Status Pin Indicator
? Programmed Charging Current
? Under Voltage Lockout
? Over Voltage Protection
? Thermal Feedback Optimized Charge Rate
? RoHS Compliant and Halogen Free
RT9524 Manufacturer's specs:

"ACIN Over Voltage Protection
The input voltage is monitored by the internal comparator
and the input over voltage protection threshold is set to
6.9V. However, input voltage over 28V will still cause
damage to the RT9524. When the input voltage exceeds
the threshold, the comparator outputs a logic signal to
turn off the power P-MOSFET to prevent the high input
voltage from damaging the electronics in the handheld
system. When the input over voltage condition is removed,
the comparator re-enables the output by running through
the soft-start."

[Q] Can't Find "Battery Level"

Hi all,
Running stock Android 2.2.2 on a Galaxy Pro, and I can't seem to locate "Battery Level" percentage.
All posts point that it should be under Settings > About Phone > Status, but all I can see there is Battery Status, which is either Charging or Discharging.
Any help to locate "Battery Level" would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Anyone, please?

Click on one of the text there.. either battery status or that progress bar (that shows how much is left).
Most of the time, pressing the Menu button will pop up extra options as well.. just try tapping around and see if anything comes up

You're saying that: Menu > Settings > About Phone > Battery use - _ doesn't allow you to see details regarding battery status/usage?

It does give me a break-down of battery usage. But it does not give me a "battery level" in percentage, which is what I can't seem to find anywhere on my phone.
I understand a widget would do the job, but I find it intriguing not being able to find this piece of information, especially that most people seem to have it.

I get what you mean, but the Battery Level is segmented into 10 bars, and I can roughly guess that my current battery level is at 40% (4 green bars).
BattStatt Pro shows me that I'm at 42% actually. So it's not far off, you'd be able to estimate to the nearest +/- 5% or 2.5% if your 'eyeball' skills are not bad.
Edit: On my HTC Legend, I can enter *#*#4636#*#* on the dialer menu and then check my Battery Info from there as well.

When you click about phone,is ther not an option that just sez status then gives percentage,if not I mayby thinking of a later android,if u long press on home screen,choose widgets,see if theres a battery 1 to add,there is on my android or look in the market theres plenty apps or widgets for free

Battery missing on Nexus 5 after Android 6.0 update

I have a Nexus 5. There is a special "Testing" menu that can be accessed by going into the dialer and using the keypad to enter #*#*4636*#*#. One of the 4 options there is "Battery Information" that gives details about battery temp, time since last boot, battery health and charging state(Not Charging, USB Charging, Wireless Charging, A/C Charging).
Recently I updated my phone to Android 6.0 and that "Battery Information" option is gone. Only the other 3(Phone Information, Usage Statistics and Wi-Fi Information) are there now.
Anyone else have this problem? Any other way to get to that "Battery Information" screen?

Adaptive Fast Charging

Hello MOAR users,
I'm not sure this is a MOAR issue. Something changed and I don't know what. For some reason when I plug in w Samsung USB cable & multiple different Samsung Adaptive Fast Chargers that previously would indicate "charging", now they do not. Inductive Qi charging seems to be working, although I'm not sure it is at the faster rater. On occasion it too has not worked but restarting the phone re-enabled it. Odd. "Fast Cable Charging" slide switch is "on" within the settings\battery area of the phone. I'm using Galaxy Charging Current app, to watch charge rate. In the MOAR General tab, Adaptive Fast Charging and Wireless Fast Charging buttons are red, indicating enabled. Anyone else experience this issue? Thanks in advance.
Also, how do you get what looks like a down arrow [on the extended power menu screenshot of the MOAR main XDA page] to further expand the options in the "Extended Power Menu"? I can enable a fixed number of them after which their respective icons are off screen and you can't scroll down to tap them. Touching the screen exits out of the menu in its entirety.

see this post too which describes pretty closely my issue:

After a original battery replacement I have still 22% wear help me please

Hello,
I used AccuBaterry App to see my devices wear level, it was like 30%. So I made a original battery replacement myself, I still have 22% battery wear. It cannot be possible, the battery produces in 2017 and was new.
3C Battery Widgets suggest %26 battery wear.
It drives me crazy, maybe my first battery were also okay. Has anyone idea?
Thank you and sorry for my English.

Where did you get the replacement battery? Thanks.

From an eBay Plus shop, best-4-me, he sold it over 200 times.

1. Clear data / cache of accubattery to remove old battery stats
2. eBay 99% of the time sell fakes, especially batteries
3. Dial *#0228# press Quick Start > Connect charger > Turn off phone > Charge to 100% > Power on phone
--
My bet, fake battery

According to this method from reddit, the new battery has 8% battery wear:
"Ever wonder how much did your battery degraded?
Try this.
Download es file explorer( or any file viewer that can read system file)
Go to root.
Sys -- class --- power supply --- battery
Scroll down to the fg_fullcapnom & Fg_cycle
Open with es note viewer ( or any text viewer)
Fg_ fullcapnom - the number X 2 , Times 2(if you are android 7.0) . That Is your current battery capacity in mAh.
Fg_cycle - to see the charging cycle."
