An app to check your battery's health? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I'm just wondering, is there an actual app that can check the real life status of the battery whether it's still in good condition or not? I know CPU-Z does this but I'm still looking for further apps.
Thanks.

im not disputing it might be - but ive been looking for something like this for ages and a complete search of the VOX forum showed no reference to SPBattMet. So I hoped it would help someone new as it helped me.

Can anyone tell what effect these kind of effect these monitoring plugins have on battery. Do they drain more battery
They drain a negigible amount of a battery, to the point that you should not notice it any.

I think it looks great, you should totally buy it, test it and let us know how the performance is and what is the REAL capacity of the battery

Yup, you'll have to do a system dump, probably need to unlock boot loader etc, but chainfire is someone you'll want to reach out to.
Also, would love to know battery life!!

What carrier or is it international brand? AT&T and Verizon have locked the bootloaders in the past making it hard to root!
Also can you show some of the theme changer in the settings, thanks.

It's SM-G920F so it's international variant. At&T should be G920A

Even without root you could make a System Dump too!
Give a look HERE or HERE
Could you extract the sound files?

Any screenshots yet regarding battery life? =)
It will be good for us, thanks!
When you get around to posting battery life screenshots can you make sure to post screen on time, brightness level, and what you used the phone for so that the number are more meaningful.
Nah, is normal
Yeah sorry I hadnt had a chance to get on XDA and respond. Battery life to be complete honest I am demoing the device 24/7 and so far on hard usage i'm getting 6-7 hours. But thats with the phone on full brightness and pushing the phone to its limits. Tomorrow I will be able to provide accurate battery life i will a free day and will be able to see how long it last without demoing it all the time.
I will so provide screen shots of my battery from yesterday and a screen shot from today.
Thanks for putting in contact with the right people I will contact them and do a system dump and hopefully get this started.
Maybe you can post sot time
Can you upload its Firmware? So we can extract some interesting stuff?
thanks
Yeah, screen on time (SOT) is the only battery metric that means anything to me.

You guys are so wrong on that one.
SOT is probably the worst way to tell a phones battery life.
Were Bluetooth, Locations and other things on? Screen brightness? What apps installed? What was on the screen? A web page? Gaming? (remember this is amoled and darks are easier than whites too).
This really needs to stop because it seems to have spread to a point where more and more people are calling this a metric when it's not.
There are way too many unknown factors that will greatly effect SOT.
He right. We need all the info not just SOT.

[NEW BATTERY] Duramax 4030mAh Real Or Fake?

Hi. Today i see on eBay this great BATTERY.
http://m.ebay.it/itm/Duramax-Batter...xy-Note-4-N910-Original-4030mAh-/131745931353
Take a look.
It says it is a 4030mAh BATTERY for 12€.
Very very good? Is a real or Fake?
Simeone know the biggest BATTERY as OEM dimensions?
Very interesting, although it seems to be fake. There's so much advertising about duramax brand that it's like a big company, but googling it nothing relevant was found.
Info.

No way... I read that with that battery(even if it has 4000mah) it has even worse battery life than with stocj

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.

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.
