Has anyone else noticed the battery status icon seemingly displays less available battery power compared to the 10 block Battery Level in About Phone --> Status ?
Icon shows less than half full (about a third in the icon) when five blocks are filled (half full) ?
Which is correct ?
I agree with you - i am confused with which is correct.
The top battery icon is always less than the "About Phone" settings.
Maybe if we installed a 3rd party battery app....hmm....
Which one though ?? hmmm...
i think that they have an app on the market that displays percentage of battey left dont know the name of it though

maybe you could cross chek with the battery status from here.... from dialpad dial *#*#4636#*#* and then go to battery status . you can croos chek from here which is most accurate
Useful code, many thanks, will do this next time the battery is low.
Is there a list of these you could share ?

Well if you go to Applications - Battery Usage and then press on the battery graph there is everything explained
It shows at what time for example GPS was on and how long.
I was talking about the graph such as those found here:

When, what, how long
On the picture you can see
- Battery is running 18h40m
- Wifi was on ~50% of time (Blue means it was on)
- Wifi was on at the beginning for ~30minutes, then was switched off and after some hours switched on again and is still on
It show when WiFi was on, Screen was on etc.
Edit: Too late
I see! Thanks!
So the signal bar is full and yellow cuz... it's always on?
Batt graph times
But why is the time above the graph and the one below different. At this moment is says on my device 1h 28 minutes on battery. Below the graph 50m 22s is shown.
Battery says its about on 6% juice and the phones turn off (first of all that should not be hapening). However bigger problem is that after it turns off, i turn it again and battery jumps to ~32 procentage. So pretty much I have to do it every time. WTF is that ? I heared a lot of users have this problem. so hardware or software issue ?
also battery gets stuck on 100% after charge. maybe gdr3 will fix it ?
Battery was ok for few days, but this night after charge battery overnight went from 100% to 77% (in about 7 hours) in stand by mode. Obviously thats not right so I did a restart and battery back up to 100%. Seriously wtf is that?
Every time after a charge I have to restart a phone to have a good battery life. How to fix it ?
is possible firmware release in your phone have bug... same model of Lumia dont have same firmwares... almost every operator or region release have different firmware...
also for battery saving use these tips:
turn off unnecessary background tasks (in settings - applications - background tasks)
limit number of Live tiles on start screen which uses internet
use simple picture for lock screen (dont use live lock screens)
dont use battery status applications (uninstall it completely)
dont use or limit some option for Glance screen
turn off or increase mail checking time

Are you running WAZE during your phone charging?
WAZE will drain battery so fast that isn't possible to charge simultaneously.
If in charge mode WAZE can damage your battery.

There are a lot of reasons of why a device is slow when it is charging.
Some people say that it's the battery icon's animation. Others saying that non-original chargers are causing lag.
Also when your phone is charging, heat is generated inside the battery and that causes your device to heat up as well. Some ROMs detect that the device is overheating and adjust the CPU speed accordingly to prevent any damage.
yup
i think its due to battery bar animation but i cudnt find any option to remove it...
whn i hide my battery status it works well but need atleast battery icon over thr

I think CM includes an option to hide the battery icon.
In my device it's in Settings > Status bar > Battery status style.

Hey, since the new update, the battery indicator in the nitificationbar is not updating / refreshing anymore, id does just always show a full battery, even when there is only like 40% left.
If i restart the phone it will set to the batterylife that is left, for example if i reset at 3/4 of the bettery it will show that but not refresh anymore till i reset again.
Factory reset and so on does not help, seems like a big software issue with the phone here.
if i go to options battery, it will show the right %tage in the options menue.
Also, they said in the patchnotes, that they now implemented a % of the battery in the notificationbar, but there is literally no option to enable that, any idead on where to search for that?
Or nay app recomendations that could help me out here?

It's working on mine. It is always set to % , no option to turn off.
I updated by using full time flashed with sp flash. Did you do it with OTA?

Yes, it made an update in the middle of the night when it got releasen, funny thing is, i turned auto updates off and nearly got late for work, because my phone is also my alarm clock and since it made it´s update on it´s own it reset and needet my passcode to restart.
Nevermind, i usually make a factory reset after an update and most problems are gone by now, for example the multitask bug, it is still there but not all the time and usually only when apps havent been open for a few minutes or from what i´ve seen, it just loasd alot of apps into the RAM and as soon as the 3,9gb are full it just closes all of them, instead of just making enough space and killing the first few that you have had open. I hope they fix that in the next update, but still it is way better than before.
BUt back to the topic. Since the Update, the battery indicator on the right top has a different style but as i mentioned just stays white and shows a full battery all the time, with no option to change it to % like the update log was mentioning.
Before the update it also had no % in the bar but when you moved the bar down there at leas was a % shown, now just a full battery symbol all the time.
But i tried a few different apps now an one just put in % in the battery icon now and also updates : itßs called Battery Percent Enabler, i tried 5 different ones, they did not work, but this just works fine, it is accurate with the battery indicator in the menu.
But i´ll guess i will try and root may phone sooner or later and then i will just flash the newest rom on it anyways.
Just wanted to know if i´m the problem and i just couldent find the menu to activate it, if it was a generell software problem or if it is just a bug since the update.
An other question, do you also have the frontfacing camera but since the update?
People in the umidigi forum and on reddit post about it en mass, i first thought it was a crack in the camera lens but since the update i have it too and people are having it too since the update.
https://ibb.co/RgXSpNJ
Its just one of the pictures of another f1 user since the update, mine has this weird line right in the middle of the camera, but i cant find a crack in the glass or the lense and since it only happened to people since the update do you think they messed something up in the cam software?
I also found a few that state the frontcam is not working at all since the update.
battery indicator
Literally the same issue battery indicator only shows the battery life when first booted, rebooted, or charging. Otherwise the battery does not move. had to install widget off of playstore. Also no percentage on/off even though when you type it in the settings search bar it shows it but redirects you to battery and we'll you guessesd it not there... hope patch comes out soon....

Hi, as i already troubleshooted and also kinda fixed it, just get the app i wrote in the first comment and everything should be good.
the only other thing that would help now is to re install the lastest update, since you messed something up while doing so.
or you can just install the app that i told you about.
Many of these little bugs or tweaks would be easily solved if we had an official and working GravityBox for Pie. Shame.

I am unable to get the Battery Charge Limit app to work on the TMOBILE variant of this device. The app allows you to set start/stop charging %, which helps prolong battery state.
Does anyone know where the control file is located? I tried searching in /sys/class/* but couldn't find anything like chg_enabled or something similiar.
For OP9Pro, the file is located here: /sys/class/oplus_chg/usb/chg_enable
For OPN200, I don't know
Doing a
find . 2>/dev/null | grep charg
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
gave me
/sys/devices/virtual/oplus_chg/battery/mmi_charging_enable
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Writing 0 to this file disables charging and writing 1 enables charging. Note that the charging icon shows that the battery is charging if the device is plugged in even if the file has a 0, but checking with a battery app will show that charging is disabled.
I also noticed that the battery charge limit app doesn't work if you start the app when the battery is already above the maximum limit, it only works if you start the app with the battery at or above the limit you set in the app.
Also I didn't realize this but you can also use ACC and run
acc -p

It seems @towardsdawn is spot on.
I configured Battery Charge Limit (you can find in Playstore) to use the charge control file located here:
Code:
/sys/class/oplus_chg/battery/mmi_charging_enable
And it seems to work. If the current battery % is HIGHER than the STOP CHARGE %, then the Battery Charge Limit application will say DISCHARGING but battery icons from homescreen and lockscreen will indicate it's charging. Even though battery icon from homescreen and lockscreen says it's charging, I did not see battery % increase.
If you charge the phone when it's BELOW the STOP CHARGE %, then the Battery Charge Limit application will say it's charging and the battery % will increase after some time until it reaches STOP CHARGE %.
Overall, it seems to work, it's just the battery charging status from Battery Charge Limit app and phone icons are not aligned. One thing I do notice is if current % is ABOVE the STOP CHARGE %, then it will stay at that % while plugged in.
just a heads up, make sure to disable battery saver as well as advanced battery optimizations when charging, these modes will kill the Battery Charge Limit app even if you have it set to "Don't optimize". had some issues getting it to work overnight and doing this worked for me.
a little ironic isn't it
looks like I spoke too soon, I fiddled around with the settings and still can't get it to work consistently. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I switched to ACCA and that works much better.

Battery Charge Limit is one of my fav apps.
I thought that you have to have root to use this app, no?
Could you provide a beginner's guide on your method? Noobs need it!

Here is a quick guide to using ACCA which I find to work much more consistently on the Nord N200 than Battery Charge Limit:
Unlock bootloader (see this thread, I used the debloat script. make sure to remove the line that gets rid of Gboard)
Root your phone with Magisk (see this thread)
Visit this website to download F-droid, then in the F-droid client download ACCA. ACCA will say installation failed for some reason, but it still works
Edit the default profile under the Profiles tab.
Under Capacity Control edit Charging switch.
Click Add Charging Switch.
Type in
Code:
/sys/class/oplus_chg/battery/mmi_charging_enable
for charging switch
Type in 1 for On value and 0 for Off value. Click ok.
Tap on the new charging switch. Click Test charging switch with the charger plugged in. It should popup saying the switch works, if it doesn't then you'll have to troubleshoot that.
Click Save.
Edit the other settings to what you want, then click the save icon in the top right.
Tap on the default profile to switch to it.
You may or may not need to do this, but under android battery settings I disabled battery optimization for ACCA and I also turned off all of the advanced optimization settings.
