I've been using this on my Skyrocket and now on my Note. I've tested it and it works great.
It lets you know what rate the charger is charging at. Very useful for troubleshooting charging issues and finding bad chargers.

I created a little app in Tasker's App Factory to test your Skyrocket's charger.
The goal of this app is to help you determine if your charger is providing a fast charge and to see if your charger will cause the dreaded wakelock. You should be able to plug in your charger and launch the app to see your charger type and current reported in the notification bar.
I'll go ahead and tell you, this is my first attempt at something like this, so it's not pretty, but I think it works. Please provide feedback regarding functionality if it doesn't work for you.
This app was created to accompany my thread on Skyrocket battery life here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759541
The apk is attached. Just install it and launch the app when you have a charger connected. I noticed that it seems to take a long time to start the first time you launch it. I'm not sure what I can do to fix that.
For Reference:
The app runs a cat of these files: /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charging_source & /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_current_adc
It uses charging_source and the values below to determine the charge type
0= No charger connected.
1= USB Normal Charge. There is 5VDC on pins 1&4 and data current is detected on 2&3
2= AC Fast Charge. AC Fast Charge. There is 5VDC on pins 1&4, and pins 2&3 are BRIDGED.
6= AC Regular Charge. This is the charge state that creates the wakelock. There is 5VDC on pins 1&4, and pins 2&3 are OPEN/DISCONNECTED.
The app uses the batt_current_adc value to determine the charge current. Anything below 500 means your charger provides a normal charge. Anything above that will likely be around 900 and that is considered a fast charge.
The Tasker project XML is attached in the second ZIP if anybody wants to see what the app is doing. Not attached here, only original thread!

I've found that the stock Samsung charger from either my skyrocket or tablet work the best. The note didn't have a charger but I assume its the same as the skyrocket charger. My sr charged super fast. Took not even an hour to fully charge it. It was an 1850.
Great find thanks!!! I tried current widget from the market for a while but I deleted it because I felt like it never read accurately.
Security issue?
I installed this app, but a few days later I was going through my settings: Accessibility options and a new item is listed -> Skyrocket Charger Test = Off. So when I toggle to On, I get a warning: Skyrocket Charger Test can collect all of the text you type, excluding passwords. This includes personal data including credit card numbers. It can also collect data about your interactions with the phone. OK or Cancel

Tons of apps from the app store say the same exact thing if you look at the permissions before you download.If you have any apps loaded on your note right now,I guarantee some of them have the same exact permissions.I wouldn't be too concerned with it really.
Hm...this is really weird...this app shows I am only charging at 100mA when I plug my note charger in...but if I put it to USB of my computer, it shows fast USB charging at 502mA...That means something wrong with my original note charger?

When you plug the stock charger in, sometimes it will say 100mA. Let it go for a minute and then check again. It will say 904mA then.

Stock charger and cable should be 904mA. If it is around 500 then you are using a different cable or inferior wall charger.

My phone charges so slow and dies pretty fast too. Is there any extended batteries that will work with the ATT version.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
When you say it dies fast, how fast and how much display on time do you get?
I'm getting around 5 hours screen on time, but only 10 hours between charging. But the 5 hours screen on is allot, it means I'm playing with my new phone allot and when I settle down after a few days I should be getting real good battery life

Yes, they do that because Samsung feels although it pro longs your battery long term life. My infuse is the same way.
I too am a little worried about the battery life. I unplugged my phone at 5:47 this morning. By 7:15 I was down to 87%. Granted I did read a book on my phone for 13 minutes this morning but still a little dissapointed with the battery life so far. I have had my phone plugged in for 12 minutes and it has gone from 87% to 89%.
I have also experienced the slow charging. It seems to go faster if I am plugged in to the wall as opposed to the USB on my computer though.
i havent tested throughly, but i think it seems to go faster plugged into a wall outlet also.
i wonder if USB is a trickle charge, while wall wart would be a full charge..
is there anyway to see the charge stats from inside the phone? like see how much juice is being shoved back into the battery while charging different methods? an app or maybe some shell command?
If you want your new SGS2 to charge quickly when plugged into your computer, get one of these:
http://mobile.brando.com/brando-workshop-usb-to-micro-usb-cable_p04980c0704d003.html
Has a switch that will put your phone into fast charge mode, which will charge your new phone at the same speed as using a wall charger.
just curious - isn't slower charging better for the battery, anyway?

Yes. The slower you charge the battery, the less capacity it loses per charge cycle.
However the Infuse has a charging flaw in which CPU and screen power usage count against charge current limit, so if the phone is in use it'll charge MUCH slower. I never got any good data from Captivate/I9000 owners on whether this applied to their devices too. Anecdotal evidence is that the Infuse charged much more slowly than these for whatever reason.

By design. USB ports can only deliver 500 mA, so Samsung limits charge current to 475 on USB. Wall charger on the Infuse was 600 mA stock and I had mods in my Infuse kernel series that would bump that to 800 when the battery was below 4.0 volts, not sure about our device, haven't had enough time to read through the battery drivers yet.
Due to the issue I mention above where CPU/screen/etc current usage counts against the current limit, the difference between 475 and 600 was a lot more than 22% or so in terms of current into the battery.
Are the extended batteries popping out the bump at the back of handset. IF that is the case the whole slim sleek looks of SG2 is lost.

Do you want a slim phone or lots of battery time? While we'd like to have both, it's impossible to do with the current battery technology. Personally, I wouldn't mind giving up a little bit of slimness for 4-500 mA more.
I'm not having the problems others seem to be having with the battery. Mine seems to be better than average and is a LOT better than my Cappy ever was.

USB ports in computers draw far less power than what a wall charger would get.
As Entropy said, trickle charge by design.
Getting 2 hours of screen time isn't good, though. It's possibly a faulty battery.. I'd give it a week of normal charge/discharge cycles to see if it works better or not.
FWIW - My heavily modded Cappy got no more than 4 hours of moderate to heavy use on a charge, making me a user of multiple batteries. My totally stock SGS2 lasts from 5:30 am until at least 10:00 pm with the same usage. I don't know why. The Cappy was not OC/UV, just rooted and running a variety of ROMs, but even when stock the battery wasn't good.
Also, the trickle charge from a usb port will take a lot longer (at least 2x) to recharge the phone than any wall charger or car charger. I had chargers all over my house for the Cappy (still do, just don't need them now) so I always had one close by. They're cheap, and beat being frustrated by not having enough power to read a good book or watch cute cats.
I hear slow charge is better too so i bought a cheap motorola wall charger a while back thats output is 550ma compared to the sgs2's charger 700ma. It works great with this phone.
If you are getting horrible battery life try either freezing media hub, factory reset or flashing cognition after i did this i dont have a problem anymore. I dont know which one fixed it but one of em did.

Is that the phone will not charge or it reboots the phone as soon as you plug it in? Please explain yourself a little better. And were you using a USB A (Charge only) or B (Data) cable? Data cables have a tendency to want to connect to the PC (for USB Debugging Mode/Transferring files) even hanging while rebooting the phone so they can allow you to get into download mode if needed. I have had this similar issue when Titanium Backup completed my evening backup and its plugged in that it stayed at the charging screen (The screen when the phone is powered off) and just charges as it is supposed to. Changed to a USB A cable and the issue has since been resolved.
The US versions of the SGS II have a different battery, mainly because of the inclusion of NFC, some of which the components are stored in our batteries. Unfortunately the international version (save for a newer Korean version) are not NFC capable, and thus use a slightly different battery architecture.
Now some folks have had varying success with international version batteries or 3rd party ones, but others have had lots of issues with rebooting, not charging with USB, etc.
If you really want to be safe and not mess with fire, stick with the OEM battery for ATT version. Until a certified or verified NFC-compatible ATT battery is released, you could be asking for trouble in the long run.
(I believe a user did try the Korean NFC-compatible extended battery, but the problem was that the new door was not compatible with the ATT version, so it was only half a solution).
Anyone know of a good site to buy the OEM battery since any replacement is terrible so far?

Problem with non OEM Battery. Be aware or non OEM battery. Thanks to all here
Hello,
Thanks for all of you posting. I got a 1800 mAh battery labeled replacement for "i9100" of ebay. Admittedly it was cheap. I came with a charger cradle.
I am experiencing what some call the "reboot" problem. What actually happens is that the phone shuts down when you try to charge it. No matter if you put into an cradle, directly onto USB charger or on a computer USB port.
It shuts down and charging starts.
Very inconvinient because what happened to me was that I was out and about, had only that battery in (but not another cradle charger with me) and when I plug in to charge you basically have a turned off phone and can't use it or receive calls.
I can't feel the chip under the label and I believe that is the cause. It was only $ 10.00, so no big deal. You CAN use the battery. But you need to charge it in a separate cradle charger or live with the phone turned off while charging. So I bought an OEM battery as my spare.
Hi all,
Anyone tried CellShell battery for Samsung Galaxy S2 before?
If I buy from Hong Kong via eBay, it's relatively expensive (HKD 200 from ebay), but it claims that with it's 1800mAH battery, it's life is really proportionally longer and then it is still the same size as the standard battery.
Anyone can share any experience?
Thanks.
Rgds., Fan.
This battery apparently works in i777,
even when charging with the USB cable:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005XOHQ6Y
This is the first non-OEM replacement battery that doesn't cause the boot-loop. It's also less than 1/2 the price of the stock battery. I just ordered one.
Some other reviews of this battery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346879
No one tried the "Cellshell" battery for Galaxy S2? I'm wishing if it really lasts 10% longer than the original Samsung battery. Any reviews anyone knows of?
Anybody find a fix to that looping problem? It happens with both of my non-OEM batteries (I get like 2 hours of battery life with those, max). Something is wrong with my setup because I have to use 3 batteries a day.
I am starting to think the cradle charging is messing things up.
Replacement, not enhancement
I've read through this forum a few times and I don't think anyone has posted a link to the I777 oem battery. The ones on amazon have terrible reviews. Supposedly, they come without NFC or have different model numbers completely. Does anyone know where I can order a replacement battery that is just like the one that came with my phone?

Try downloading Battery Monitor Widget.it should give you an idea how much current(mA) your phone is getting(during charge) or consuming(when on battery).im suspecting EITHER something is eating too much power OR your charger is not delivering enough current.that is,if your phone shows its charging when you plug in either charger or USB but not increasing in charge level.

yup,which seems weird cause 13.5%/hr consumption is roughly equivalent to surfing the web which indicates either your phone is eating up too much power therefore cancelling your charge or your phone is not charging at all.

Are you using the OEM charger or at least another 1A+ charger?
However if you're talking about your meter not hitting 100 but is sitting at 95-98%, then I refer you to this excellent article: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...bump-charging-and-inconsistent-battery-drain/

Have you unplugged it and plugged it back on the charger? Have you tried charging it with power off?

It actually took over 8 hours to make it to 90%. And I have not tried to charge with the battery off. Do many people do that?

What does this have to do with anything?? I plugged it into the wall socket, not a computer!

Then get a 2/3 amp wall plug. You have a much bigger battery and a phone that uses more power than normal. The 1amp output just isn't enough.
HTC really should have provided us with a better plug but from what I read they believe that the best way to extend the overall life of the battery was to have it charge slowly.
In reality I won't have this phone for more than 2 years so I don't really care about that.

I don't think you're getting this at all. This is NOT normal. Other people have the same plug and are charging their phones in less than 4 hours. This is still going on past 9 hours now. If the gs4 can charge a bigger battery with the same 1.2A, then this should work right?
Maybe I'm not getting it because my phone charged just as slow on the normal plug also. But as soon as I got that kernel it seems to charge faster even on the normal plug.. And it so much faster on USB 3.0 plug.

I'm having a hard time believing that HTC would design a phone that takes 9 hours to charge. I don't have usb 3.0 or want to use custom kernel. It also didn't happen when i got the phone first. So this is a bit strange to me.
OP, you may have to return as defective.

How long does it take you to charge your phone from 0% to full? I finally reached 100% at 11:20 last night. Charging my phone from 97%-100% takes 2 hours. Should I take it back as defective? It's only my third day and I have warranty either way. It'll just take some gas to get there. Lol.
Looks like you have a defective battery. I say bring it back but first call and see if they have any in stock.

So how long has the phone been plugged in now since this thread started? Still at 99%? Have you tried letting it drain until it turns off on it's own and then charge fully?

Actually I took my phone back to best buy today at around 4:00 pm pacific and got it replaced. Not sure if I'm seeing a increase in battery life. I think I got it at 57% charge and not it's at 12%(it's 9:16 pm right now). Should I charge it to 100% when it dies or can I charge it up a bit for the time being and then let it die and charge to 100% later when I get home?

Doesn't matter.. to each is own really. Charge to 100% now, then when it gets low enough say 2%, charge to full.. then you can charge as you please, just try not to let it do a complete cycle too often (0-100%).

I don't mean to bump this post back to the top but if anyone has this problem in the future and finds this post, my first HTC One was in fact faulty. Since I've gotten it replaced with another One it's taken my phone about 3 hours to charge from 0-100%(I've done that once. I think it took 3 hours and 20 minutes). Today my battery lasted from 8:05 AM to 9:15ish pm. Charged it from 0-99% in a little under 3 hours after it died. Loving my One even more!

The review: Been using for a few days now with the Nexus 6. Works perfectly. It is thin, and compact. Minimal on the looks, just flat black. Very simple. The charging stops as soon as 100% is reached and trickle charges to keep it full (check out the video below). Placement of the phone doesn't seem to matter. As long as it’s in the middle, or close to it, the charging starts.
Overall, I am very happy with it. It’s small, but big enough for the phone, simple looking, and works every time.
I have this. I love it so far.

video of trickle charging posted
thanks, i'll check out the video in a bit! I was thinking about this, but in the end it's just another charger and i can get the powerbot hockey puck on for $15... Is this one significantly faster, etc?
I have this also haven't had any problems with this what so ever. im actually thinking of adding it to a mount and placing it in my car to have it always have my phone charged and mounted in the car

I'd suggest spending a little more and get the CHOE. With a Nexus 6, you'll probably appreciate the larger charging surface.

True true. I need to measure and fund out how big the power bot actually is. Do you have any pics with the phone on the charger?

Here's a photo I found from an Amazon review....
How about this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgbYLgZOljI, no navigation though.
I purchased it last year and its working absolutely fine since 1 year!
I purchased the one for my Nexus 5 and it is even compatible with my New Nexus 6!
This is a great charger for what is a very fussy phone as none of my N5 chargers would work unless I really found the sweet spot exactly.
Having looked at the iFixit page for the N6 I believe the issue is caused by the curved back making the gap between case and coil much larger than it should be - poor design choice by Motorola in my opinion and they should either have attached the coil to the back casing or not made it curved at all. I also think there's a software issue in Android as the constant on/off when fully charged never happened with my old N5 also on Lollipop which would simply go into trickle charge. The N6 method means that often my podcast downloads or TiTB backups would fail because I had the option to only work when the phone was on charge - again, no issue with the N5.
I now have two of these 3-coil chargers and are working brilliantly - even works through a very thick wallet case which none my old N5 chargers wouldn't even do.
Very good points. I want to get the Powerbot charger, cuz it's $10 cheaper, and I might buy two... however, If it's really tough to find the spot to charge on the N6, it might be the tougher sell.

So, this one does trickle charge? I'm having issues with TiBk failing because of my current charger.

It does if I use my Nexus 5 but not with the Nexus 6 - the issue is the phone not the charger, in my opinion Google/Motorola have either broken something or the way the N5 did it was not a good idea.
BTW, are you sure TiBk is failing due to the charging? I get the error about the state when it tries to upload to GDrive after a backup, but it fails not because of the charging but because TiBk has caused the WiFi to disconnect (backing up the WiFi APs maybe?) and the phone hasn't reconnected ("Authentication problem") and I have to manually off/on the WiFi. Again, my old N5 never had this issue even with Lollipop.

That's not trickle charging as I understand it - the Nexus 5 (which I had *) and others stay on charging, the icon remains the same, but the charge current is lowered hence the word trickle - it's still continuous. What you see the Nexus 6 doing in that video is stopping, the charger stops, then when charge in the battery drops below a set threshold and it starts again.
*when I used the Nexus 5 I created a tasker profile that would play a sound when it was off wireless charge - I found it useful. When I upgraded to the the Nexus 6 and ported the same tasker profile across, the first night I was woken up a few hours later with the phone "chiming" every few minutes - the Nexus 5 never did this.

Based on what I've read, I think my Aukey will die in a few weeks. Then I'll get it refunded and get a Choe
I have been using it for almost a month. Love it. Works very well, and not as slow as I thought it would be.
