I've been looking at apps but none of them tell me the Original charge capacity vs the current wear level (current charge capacity).
Thanks

Try "Battery Calibration" from the market. It will clear out your old battery stats and shows you the correct battery charge. Follow these steps:
1. Download and install "Battery Calibration"
2. Charge your phone to 100%
3. Without unplugging, press the "Calibrate" button in the app
4. After calibrating is done, unplug the phone
5. Use the phone till it drains out to 0% and turns off
6. Charge it to 100% without a break
Now your phone should show you the correct battery stats. This app is a must-have if you've flashed a new ROM onto your phone. But you can use it to calibrate your battery whenever you feel that it is not reflecting the correct charge.
Or if you have CWM recovery installed, just boot into recovery and wipe the battery stats when ur battery is at 100% and still plugged in.
People.... he is NOT asking about the calibration nonsense (pure placebo, the apps do not do anything useful). He wants to know the nominal vs. current capacity, i.e. the wear level.
@OP: Sorry, neither do I. Maybe the info is just not accessible by SW.
I just want an app that shows me the % used / hour.
bump! i want this app to show wear and tear? anyone? or should i google it :lol:

Actually, it is hard to tell the battery charging and weal levelling. It may vary due to the usage, temperature, environment variables (humidity etc) and the ROM too.
I don't that there is such applications available in market.
Google play only lists the apps which is showing the battery charged/remaining percentage only.
Usually batteries last for around 400-500 charge cycles. A charge cycle is completed when you discharge the phone to 0% and charge it to 100%. If you charge your phone once everyday, your battery will last around a year and a half I.e. 18 months.If you charge your phone twice everyday, the battery will last for around 9 months and so on

gonna call bull on these numbers - I've had my phone for near 3 years. There's times it gets charged 3 times a day when being used heavily and times it can go 48 hours or longer before it needs to be charged. I have not noted any decrease in the time it holds a charge. I think there are too many factors that can impact battery life to say there is a set number of charging cycles it can handle.
Which means unless you had something installed to measure the battery right from the first charge you aren't going to find an app that can tell you what you want as there is no way for it to go back in time and tell you what the original numbers were.
BUMP
I would also like to know how much wear my battery has.
I had a DROID 3 and I had terrible battery life and when I replaced the battery the phone ran like new, it was great. In that case I was sure the battery was old at that point so now I want to know if I should do the same for my DROID 4 however the process is definitely more involved so I wanted to know if it was possible beforehand to see if it is worth it
Bump!
There is a plethora of such programs for windows, like this one :
http://batterycare.net/en/images.html
we are looking for the same thing for Android
It would be especially useful since some battery will last longer then others...
Some battery will still have 85% of their design capacity after 900 cycles..
Others are at 50% after 300 cycles.. a 3000 mAh battery is now a 1500mAh one...
Depends fron the battery cell origin and quality.. japanese cell are the best
Also very useful to check if the replacement battery you purchased is holding the advertised charge...
Is it even possible to get that info out from a cellular battery?? They are much smaller, perhaps they dont have the required circuitry.
Any news about a battery that would do that (indicate battery wear level) for Android in 2015 ?
I would love to check by battery wear level as well.
I have a Nexus 7 2013 and am wondering if a new battery would be worth it yet.
Hey everyone, I have a big problem with my S6 and would like to know what you think and if there is any solution.
My previous battery would last for only 2 hours with display on, 6-7 hours on standby. I got tired of it and decided to replace it. However, the new battery lasts for 4-5 hours of active using and up to 10 hours in standby. Just last night it got from 55% to 4% in 8 hours while I was sleeping. When I bought the new battery, both the seller and the guy who put it in told me to fully discharge and charge it for 12 hours, 3 times. I did so, and it's still crap.
My S6 works on 6.0.1 and I only use a couple of apps, like browser, Reddit, Twitter and Whatsapp. I uninstalled Facebook apps as I read that they consume a lot of battery. I also used Package Disabler app to disable some apps/services I don't use. However, it's all to no avail. As soon as I charge my phone to 100%, it shows it has 10 hours left of battery usage. In comparison, my previous battery (when it was new) would show over 20 hours and it would be REALLY good and last really long.
What drains my battery most is "Screen" and "Android System". The other apps that I use, such as Twitter and Reddit, only drain around 2-3% of it.
Is there anything else I can do?
It's possible the battery is uncalibrated.

Sadly, it's not an official as I can't get official ones here where I leave. Everyone advertises them as original batteries, but they are far from that. However, this place where I bought it has good ones as I bought batteries for Note 4 and S5 earlier, which were incredibly good. This one...not so much.
Give it a straight 16 hour charge. Then kill the battery . Recharge it and leave it in the charger for 2 hours after its full. After that take it out and use it until it dies. Then charge it regularly
---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 PM ----------
I did that and my S6 lasts about 13-14 hours
UPDATE: Installed Greenify + Amplify...the battery lasted for 1 day and 3 hours. It finally shut down, so I will calibrate it now after charging it back to 100%.
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Google Pixel XL can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
My battery is at 62%, and on the lockscreen it says 1 hour and 26 minutes until fully charged. I mentioned this in another thread about slow charging in the Q&A section. I don't know if I have a lemon or faulty charger possibly..... Anyone else have any stats to compare with me?
Is charging that bad?
Even I have seen users facing charging issues. This is what is confusing me. Hope someone clears completely if the new model has charging issues or not!
Here's my charging times according to Battery Widget Reborn.
it's quite a bit slower to charge with the included charger than my G4 with a QC2.0, but it's not terrible.
I do know that using the phone while it's charging will cause charging to take longer. I've installed Ampere to monitor the charging current, and it fluctuates wildly between 510 mA to 3350 mA it seems like. Hopefully someone else can install Ampere and compare stats, would be helpful.

Seems a bit slow for Quick Charge 3.0 but perhaps it is due to the version they are using which is 1.0 or something like that
At 16% I have measured up to 3250, but haven't tested very much.
So the phone takes about 2 hours 10 minutes to charge from 1% - 100%, and that's without using the phone during charging. Is that about the charging time other people are getting with the bundled charger? Still seems very slow compared to other flagship phones out there (my last phone was the Axon 7 with Qualcomm QC 3.0).
The charger itself (the box plugged into the wall or into a car 12V socket), offering a USB socket. The job of this element is to offer a stable 5 volts at the USB socket.
Hmmm, if I put the phone down, and clear all apps, the phone charges an average 35% per hour. I do have a ton of [email protected] running in the background, but that's the rate I get with the included charger. good? Bad?

I found that if you use the phone while charging, the charging almost comes to a standstill. Even when not using it, i can't see how Google can advertise up to 7 hours of use on a 15 minute charge
OK, I am reading posts like that this phone charges fully in 2 hours! Is that right? I mean from 0 to 100, it takes 2 hours? Is this some sort of joke? Rapid Charging and 2 hours? What am I missing here?

Yeah, in the google commercial for the pixel it says different. The commercial says it will charge 7 hours of up time in 15 min. That's def not the case with me.
I have Google Pixel XL and when I charge it from 0% it doesn't even get anywhere close to 100% in 15 minutes
I kind of want to get a OnePlus 3t because I miss the Dash charging from when I had the 3. That being said, charging speed is one of the only complaints I have about this phone which is pretty good I'd say.
My phone charged from 8% to about 90% in 1h30m
These are not good charge times. My Note 5 from 0% to 100% using their adaptive quick charger is 1 hour 5 minutes.
Poor charging times. 15 percentage in 15 minutes. Phone went to 29% from 14%. Zero usage in between obviously, wanted to measure that only.
Is the included charger the best or would a 3rd party wall charger be faster?
I ask because my LG V20 came with a QuickCharge 1.0 or 2.0 charger even though it's a QC 3.0 device. I am wondering if Google did something similar here?
I apologize in advance if it's was already asked
So i'm wondering how it works. Does it use warp charge till it reach 100% or it goes normal like at 50 or 70%?
I noticed it's slow 90 to 100 whereas i see warp charge logo
I'm on havoc so idk if it's the same, but havoc shows the output, from what I can see its between 5-6amps until 50% and slowly tapers down from there to 1 amp between 90-100%

Never charge to 100%, it shortens the battery lifespan a lot. It's best to use it on 20-80 charge range.
After 80% the charging speed slows down like any other phone.

This is a fallacy. I charge my phone to 100% everytime and after a years time my battery still has 93-96% capacity. The damage is done if you let it discharge below 10 or 15%. Lithium ion batteries looked to be charged more frequently and when the battery is above 75%. The higher the battery percentage the more charge cycles it will have.
Thanks for the lifespan tip. Didn't know about it

I didn't understand the last part of your post, if you charge till 80% you'll use very little charge cycle. The most of the battery wear is done on the last 20% charging. Even if you store a li-ion battery at 100% it get damaged very quickly.
They like to be charged often and stay on 40-50% average charge level. If you do that the battery is going to last 3+ years.
If you charge overnight to 100% and top up every time you'll need to replace the battery in less than 1 year.

This is not the case. Charging the phone more then 20 or 25% or more results in more charge cycles. Look up BatteryUniversity.com and it will explain it to you. The damage above 80% is done if the charging per doesn't reduce and you charge to quickly from 80-100%. This is why the battery reduces charging speed after 80% down to a trickle charger from 95% to 100%. This is built into the charging tech so there is no battery damage charging your phone to 100%.
I charge my phone to 100% everyday and something twice in a day and never have battery issues or reduced battery capacity. My phone lasts as well after 1 year as from the day it's purchased.

Read carefully, it says exactly what I'm telling you.
I'll attach a screenshot of the website that you suggested, it's shows what I'm saying that if you charge to 80% instead of 100% you get three times more battery cycles of lifespan (850-1500 vs 350-500).
Also the second screenshot shows that if the battery stays at 100% it degrades much faster (only 80% capacity after one year vs 96% capacity if stored at 40%).

And if you charge routinely from 75% or higher, you can achieve up to 1200 cycles for lithium ion batteries. I'll do my way as I don't lose battery capacity after a years time. This is info from battery University. Been doing this for years (since the note 3). Again I'll say, it's not charging to 100% it's if your charge to quickly from 80% to 100% it's what's bad for the battery.
---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------
If you read what you posted it's the temperature During the charging that reduces the charge cycles. There is no heat in a OnePlus phone with Warp or Dash charging. Depth of discharge also increases cycles if you charge when the battery had more charge. For example... Charging at 25% or less gives 250-300 charge cycles, 25-50% gives 350-500 cycles, 50-75% 600-900 cycles and above 75% up to 1200 cycles. I'll continue to follow that by battery University and continue to have a battery that doesn't lose capacity

I'm not going to convince you but I don't like the pread of disinformation.
If you read the graph in the picture it show that what damages the battery is both from high temperature and high charge level. Just look at 25 degree row:
40% charge - >96% capacity after 1 year
100% charge - >80% capacity after 1 year
Things are even worse at 40 degree: 85% capacity vs 65% so 20% extra battery capacity lost.
Remember that when the battery capacity is at 80% means the battery is gone because it cannot cope with the ampere under load and the phone will shut down. This after 1 year without taking consideration of the extra damage while charging to 100%.
Now I'll copy and paste that part from the website:
Most Li-ions charge to 4.20V/cell, and every reduction in peak charge voltage of 0.10V/cell is said to double the cycle life. For example, a lithium-ion cell charged to 4.20V/cell typically delivers 300–500 cycles. If charged to only 4.10V/cell, the life can be prolonged to 600–1,000 cycles; 4.0V/cell should deliver 1,200–2,000 and 3.90V/cell should provide 2,400–4,000 cycles.
4.20v is 100% charge
4v is 70-75% charge
Be careful that's tge voltage of the cell, not the charging voltage.
I agree with you that slow charging makes less damage but still charging from 75% to 100% makes hugely more damage to the battery than charging from 20% to 80%.

Yeah I can say the same about disinformation which is what I said to you to begin with. My op6 which I bought and had since launch still gives me 9-11 hours is screen on time today like it did on day one. That phone like all the rest of my phone is charged to 100% every day, normally from about 70% or higher remaining battery when put on charge. Using a few different apps my battery capacity still shoes 95% capacity.
Again, charging to 100% and damaging your battery is a fallacy. Charging to 80% is fine but your depth of discharge is greater putting more stress on a lithium ion battery.

That's is from lab test made from scientist, so I trust it.
Also no one tells you that you need to wait 20% to charge, you can do 40 to 60 or 30 to 50 but i can assure you that I've got a phone a xiaomi mi 5s 3 years old same battery charging 20% to 80% and is still usable, I'm using it as a second phone.
My previous phone was a galaxy note, I was charging it overnight and charging it to 100% often through the day, i replaced the battery three times in two years.
Thats my experience.

So guys what you recommend for charging pattern for best battery health ? I'm rly lost from what u said...
Me I charge my phone every night with very small charger I think it's 1amper maybe lower.
I never let it under 25-20 % and always charge it full with zero heat and takes long time to charge because of the charger.
If I wake up to go toilet and night and it's charged I removed it and that's it..

The best charging pattern is to always keep the battery near 50% and do frequent charges through the day.
Don't charge overnight, leave the battery at around 50% when you go to sleep.
At the morning, when you wake up plug in the warp charger so you can charge to 80% before going to work.
Charge over 80% only in special circumstances when you need long battery life.
Try to never go below 20%.

I recommend you to plug your phone 1h before sleep and charge it fully or do it in the morning. You may increase your battery life with all that slower charging, up to 80% etc but really? Is it worth to resign from that cool Warp charging feature just for extending your battery lifespan and you won't even know how much it will extend? And you can even exchange the battery at authorised center for about 20 bucks.
I thought the myth about leaving the phone charging overnight breaks stuff was explained away already. There's stuff that runs in the background that improves the usability of the phone and decreases battery drain.
Read this monster post for full info. Not so much looking after the battery but system optimization. Warning. It's a big read. I've been leaving my phone charging overnight for years. I still have a OP5 that's being used daily and still gets fairly impressive SOT. Other thing is, "we" tend to change our phones quite often. SO I just don't worry about it too much and use the phone the way I want to use it.

Hello dear XDA members,
I bought Poco X3 NFC two days ago ( The Global version ) and I noticed that the battery performance is very poor.
At first I was using the screen @ 120 Hz frame rate and I was able to get 7 hours SOT normal usage, and 6 hours SOT while playing PUBG.
Then I changed the screen frame rate to 60 Hz but the situation didn't change... And I got 5 hours SOT only !
I would like to know if you are getting the same SOT?
Is it a general problem?
I'm on MIUI 12.0.4.0
I didn't get the chance to test the previous firmwares to compare screen SOT.
thanks in advance.
WOW, I have it set to 90 Hz and when I do not play, I get 11h SOT and over 40h on the battery.
Look
Same here. The sot. Is not good.
It will get better after one week or something

Lucky you, I have been doing some research and I found that other people have battery drain issues too, and other people have wonderful SOT
Yeah people either say it's insanely good or just plain garbo. I for example can't even tell lol. The built-in battery monitor doesn't seem to work properly. It spits out some nonsensical numbers and doesn't show all the apps I'm using. For example it shows 1,5h active for the display after 20+ hours of usage were I've watched multiple YouTube videos during this time (some of them longer than 20 minutes). And YouTube app doesn't even show up in the summary. Same goes for Opera browser which I use quite a lot. Didn't realise at first though, as I charge my device every other day or so and don't game much on it really (it significantly shortens the non removable battery life span). AccuBattery only shows estimates (free version). Don't know how they get an accurate/believable measurement with like 30h+ standby.

I heard of this issue too, and I started to use accubattery today to keep track of the battery usage
You need to calibrate your battery
Calibrate Battery:
Do two full charge / discharge cycles (from 100% to% 0, charge off to 100%) and finally a full charge (or half charge / discharge cycle, which is the same)
With that it would already be recalibrated.
Half cycle equals one full charge or one full discharge.
One cycle equals one full charge + one full discharge.
These are the so-called battery life cycles
Or charge / discharge cycles
Both terms refer to the same thing.
What kills lithium batteries are these cycles, it is like a flash memory, it has limited write cycles. Lithium batteries, the same, but both discharges and charges count.
That is why they recommend doing small charges and keeping the battery between 20% and 80%. Older people recommend carrying out a charge / discharge cycle every 15-20 days, to ensure the correct calibration of the battery.

So maybe it is the adaptive battery feature which takes some time to work correctly, I think I am getting a slight improvement.. still testing though
Battery Improved a lot since I wrote this thread, I think adaptive battery feature started to work.
My SOT is even worse than yours.
I am using poco x3 indian varient with 6000 mah battery
What did you do to increase SOT ?
