[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

Best app to locate battery loss?

My phone recently started using more battery than normal. I installed a couple apps over the weekend. I suspect it could be one of those. What app can I use from the market that will pinpoint this for me? Thank you.

try "CPU spy"
i use a widget called battery info. - lots of good info provided in this little widget
Tried CPU spy and it doesn't tell me much or maybe I am not using it properly. If a specific app was draining my battery, is there anything that will pinpoint this?

Battery Drain

Hello, my battery started draining really fast recently, and in the usage statistics, it says 41% is due to cell standby, followed by 15% screen. Before the screen was the most draining factor. Anyone have an idea what's going on?

Check for any rouge apps you might have installed recently

Tunein Pro, Amazon and Beautiful widgets. I also got CS portable, but I make sure I kill everything after playing anything.
Thanks

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

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

New battery didn't fix battery life

Hi everyone, a while ago my phone's battery started draining very, very quickly. Even with the screen off pretty much all the time and no apps running, the battery drained within 3 to 4 hours or so. So I bought a new, 3500mah battery (old one was around 1400). This increased the battery life but it still drained for no reason. I updated my ROM several times but it didn't fix it. Any help?

Which ROM/Kernel are you using?
A standard CM10.1 ROM with the included kernel.

thats a pretty steep curve. Can you post the second screen where it shows what apps consume the most batttery?
Android OS might be the thing thats using the battery. Also, look at the top and bottom of the graph. The first and last percent take way longer to deplete.
