Is there a good battery stat app? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Hi,
You can try Battery Monitor Widget: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw.pro (there is also a free version).

[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.

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 apps showing wrong info

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.

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

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.
