Battery apps showing wrong info - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi I just notice that battery monitor widget shows that my battery is li-poly and isn't it supposed to say li-ion?? I tried 4 or 5 other apps and they all say li poly..
I'm very confused as li-ion is supposed to be the right one and its way more advanced than li poly
So what's wrong?
Please help
Thanks
I just checked what ANDROID says *#*#INFO#*#*
and it says li poly

Disassemble your phone and check which battery you have.

[Q] power draw stats

I've seen people say, "my phone was charging at 17mA," or, "my phone was discharging at 10mA."
What are these people using to find these stats? Or are they buried somewhere that I'm not seeing?

Battery monitor app/widget does a pretty good job of reporting those specs. It's free on the play store

Thanks! Trying to search for anything battery-related is almost impossible.
I know there are so many. Just search battery monitor in the store and its the first result battery monitor by 3c

Yes, that's what I use. And the dev is very quick with support if needed.

Try Battery Monitor Widget [3c]
I prefer not using an app for that
i think it even drains more your battery
And how am I going to know my battery temperature?

You say that as if it is actually important
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Use battery monitor widget as recommended above. You can even set alarms to go off of it is over a certain temperature. Don't worry it won't significantly use any battery itself. It only logs what the phone is already monitoring in the background.
As to why it might be important, well prolonged use of the battery at to high of a temperature will dramatically reduce its life span.
Plenty of us live in countries where it could be an issue. For example if I use it as a GPS in the summer on my windscreen it will soon get too hot. It's good to know if I'm running into problems.

The battery monitor says that my battery life is good! Is there a problem with the battery? Shouldn't say very good

Is there a good battery stat app?

I may be wrong but I don't think battery usage shown in the phone settings are very accurate.
So I am simply wondering if there is an app that shows accurately how much battery has been used and by which app?

BetterBatteryStats
You can find a free version here, on xda
I was told once that battery still charges a little bit after it hits 100%
is there a widget or app where I can see battery's mAh increasing while charging?

Battery drains too fast

Hey guys.
I have a sgs2 the g Model from europe. I am in australia now.since 2 weeks the battery drains very fast. I tried another battery and varius Roms.but its all the Same. My phone got very hot some days. Does anybody have an idea what might be the problem?
Thanks

I forgot. Its also charging very fast. :-/ ????
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda app-developers app
how fast?
tried charging it via usb port on a PC/Laptop?
I get 80% in like ~2h. I once activatet the fast charge script.but After i recognized the problem i wiped all and flashed other roms. Might be an Hardware Problem? Everything is working but drains too fast

I don't know autralian voltage, but 2 hs sound about right to me.
Try to find out what is that is draining your battery, what are you doing diffrently since you got there.
Try pluggin it to the pc/laptop, let it juice up and then see if it drops like when charged via AC.
I didnt change anything. Is it possible hat somethings wrong with the Hardware? I got 50 % usage by the display. But i set it to very dark. I dont understand it: (

Try JuiceDefender app. Works very well for me!
I am using an AC switch that generates 230 Volts out of the 12 Volts cigarette thing from our car. Might it be that this is not working fine with my device?

Well, that pretty heavy usage...
I can do that intentionally by repeatedly backup restore system in recovery, 3d game with all Wi-Fi, GPS, BT, highest brightness...etc
But my daily usage costs me about 250% of battery as I have 3 battery with me...

Ah well overclocked so it uses more battery. Playing games while listening to internet radio on 3g takes a large toll on batteries.. just bought a portable charger to compensate for it
As for the original post, I take it you left it overnight, or haven't used it much for a good few hours. 10-20% drain is normal for a 8hr standby, unless you have battery draining apps (most IM apps, google now, gmapps etc)

Thanks for all the reply.. really helpfull i got a difrent question a really noob 1.. i root my phone.. now how do i remove the pre install apps on my s3?? Do i need a specific apps.. as for the battery issue ny cable already start to act funny it took me 4hrs to get to 81% from 43% gonna change the cable and see if it works.. huuu

One method is to navigate using a file explorer to /system/app and delete apks you don't want. Not the stock one. Use astro or es file explorer. Titanium backup is a very useful tool for backing up apps and app data. Can also be used to uninstall system apps. Both methods require root permission.
As for which apps you can delete, search for safe apps to delete on xda or google and you should come across a thread.
