Goodbye to such sayings like "My battery lasts 4-7 hours" or "about 10% per hour"
The value refreshes every 30 seconds at most!
Set the update intervall to 1 min and leave your phone for 10 minutes in standby to check the standby current.
Note: Unplug the charger!
Note 2: It seems that you need a working battery driver!
Download:
XDAndroid: ("MSM" as model number)
Search in the market for "CurrentWidget" or download the CurrentWidget_v0.16.apk from below and place it in /andboot/androidapps folder on your storage card.
Other versions:
For other versions than xdandroid (for example CM6 by neopeek) use the CurrentWidget_all.apk
Thanks to the developer Ran Manor!!

Is your battery meter jumping around? If yes you haven't got a working battery driver and it seems that you need one.

As far as I understand it's notan app it's a widget for the homescreen which should be added to it like any other widget. That's it.

I'm hoping someone can help please. I put Leedroid 2.4 on my phone and it's been flawless for a couple of days, apart from this morning it looks at if it randomly rebooted.
I haven't switched it off since sometime yesterday but System Monitor shows a boot time of 4:13 this morning. I was asleep and the phone was on the side unplugged.

Also my battery history goes a bit funny just after this time and the useage went up loads from it's usual 1 or 2ma when sleeping.
and voltage - the big drop at the end is when my alarm went off and I started using the phone
I've no idea how I'd start to find out what caused it to do it, can anyone help please? It obviously didn't do a full reboot as it didn't ask for my PIN unlock code this morning.
Cheers
It's done it again this morning at 3:30. Useage at -1ma for ages then after this time up to between -22 and -25.
Any ideas?
I've checked through everything in "SystemPanel" and nothing seems to be using the processor at any time.
Hi,
Sorry I could not help you out about your issue but will be happy if you can tell me the apps you use for monitoring your phone? Is it all from the "System Monitor" app you mention?
The top pic is SystemPanel which I think cost me a pound or two a while ago and the bottom is Battery Monitor Widget, which is free.

Thanks a lot. I hope your issue will be solved! Or maybe perform a full wipe and see if the problem persists?

Cheers, me too. It's not a major issue but it's one that could catch me out if it does it when my battery is low.
I'm using 155-2 cee stock rom.
This rom suits me for best battery life.
Normal 2g mobile standby is 2.4 hours per 1%.
setvsel 18-300 40-800 50-1000
And some system app deleted like most did.
(dlna,phone portal,media share kept)

The reading app is moon+ reader,
(205 232 207)RGB background with pure black font
7% screen brightness
no page flip effect
still with mobile standby(that's 10% battery drain,5% if using flight mode)
Reading time is about 8 hours,other time is just screen on.
This brightness with the color background is nice for bedtime reading even in thedaily time in the room ,not at window or with several lights above.
You can have a try.

I can't see those pics: "You don't have permission to access the requested object."
Honestly I don't know how much those figures will suit people that use their phone for anything else than just reading... Someone will call you during those 25 hours...
Where did you find the circle battery indicator in the status bar? I'd like to install this style in CM7.1, it is nicer and cleaner than the 2 stock ones (stock for CM7.1, I mean)

Hi All,
I have been using 'Battery Monitor 3C' from a long time but on my Htc phones, now i installed it on Galaxy W, but amazingly its not reporting the correct current consumption values in his log.
Very random values are there, in idle mode it shows from 10mA to 200mA which is not correct. When the screen is ON , it shows 30mA or 50mA that is also not correct. I have checked none of my application is consuming current that can justify these values.
Moreover battery percentage is also not correct. i.e , It jumps from 55% to 25% and stays at 25% for a longer time period.
So hence my conclusion is that Stock kernel doesnt give the correct values for mA and % to applications.
Anyone can give details that is it the problem with Kernel or the Battery Monitor 3C ?
I would appreciate if anyone has used the current monitor on Galaxy W and he thinks that the reading are correct.
Thanks

That's not normal. Whatever wakelock is keeping it awake is not captured in your WLD screenshot. Track it down in better battery stats instead, using "partial wakelocks"
Thank you...that's what I thought... I don't know what happened...so I went into partial wakelocks and everything looks like low %... But kernel wakelocks there was a lot of high percentages...
First thing that sticks out is drop box. It shouldnt be running for that long. Did you turn on auto backup? This will cause huge drains. If turned on turn it off. Also check in service running for 21 minutes... Turn off your gps. This is Google now constantly running and locating you to try and provide you with what it thinks is useful cards (weather, traffic, food in your area) I only then on my gps when I'm gonna use navigation. Otherwise all apps with gps access will start to run and kill your battery. Also I suggest greenify. It'll help a lot with things like Facebook, Twitter, Google search, ect. Wakelocks. Also removing or freezing bloatware helps tremendously with battery drain. And last carrier iq. Something that always runs in the background. Google search it or read up in the battery threads here on XDA. They talk about it a lot and how to try and stop it. Also this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2816353
although for the SGS5 it can be applied to our device as well

also your font looks distorted, i would return the phone! ?
My Galaxy S III battery drains very fast, sometimes as much as 10% in 30 minutes (running 4.4.2). The battery is fine (I did the spin test), so I'm pretty sure it's a CPU-related issue, especially since the battery temperature is always around 110 deg F. The Android System process uses up more battery percent than my screen, so I did a full reset, ran DU Battery Saver, disabled LTE/sync/wifi, and uninstalled over 100 bloaty system apps through rooting. Still, even with a fresh install and all the other adjustments, the Android System is sucking down the battery juice like it was before.
I've been doing tons of research on this issue and haven't been able to find a solution. When going into the show CPU usage through developer options, the top line (with all the numbers) is often showing a long red line (even after doing a full reset on the phone).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Not CPU related. It's an app hats continuously running in the background. Try Wakelock Detector to find the culprit.

You mean a system app running through the Android System process?

According to Wakelock Detector, here's the top culprits from the kernel wakelock menu (after ~5 hours):
PowerManagerService.Display (~43 min, x53)
main (~43 min, x53)
PowerManagerService.WakeLocks (~26 min, x1428)
bam_dmux_wakelock (~20 min, x797)
Thanks for your help so far. Where do I go from here?
