gsam isnt resetting on full charge like its supposed to. does anyone know of a good monitor like gsam that works properly on aosp?
something with similar capabilities preferred, if possible. i just got a zero lemon battery, and would like to record some accurate stats.
thanks
bump!
The only other app I know of for stuff like this is Better Battery Stats and it's not really the same.
Probably there is nothing really wrong with GSAM - I think I remember reading that some rom's battery monitors built into ASOP roms themselves don't reset.

I'm on the cognition rom and just noticed that just under 50% battery it jumps to just less than 20% in an instant. Is this a battery issue that can be fixed by clearing battery stats? I'm not sure if this happened with the stock rom.

Sometimes the fuel gauge in GalaxyS phones wacks out. Try a battery pull - if it's still reporting low, it was falsely reporting high before most likely.
Clearing battery stats currently does nothing on our phone, similarly, it did nothing and can't do anything on first-gen GalaxyS devices.

Is this a software or hardware glitch? If a battery pull doesn't alleviate this than what can be done to fix it?
Sent from my AT100 using Tapatalk
I had something similar. I was at about 60% remaining, and needed to pull the battery due to the phone locking up. When it restarted, I only had 31% remaining.
This is on stuck unrooted.

Hey guys. I know this is going to appear an elementary issue but I can't seem to figure it out. I work for Sprint I know all about battery life and what kills it and how to make it last. My 3d is draining about 20 percent per hour! I have swapped batteries, tested my batteries, wiped my device mutiple times and flashed different roms and kernels. I can't seem to figure out why my battery life has become so bad. My wifes 3d lasts about 16+ hours with moderate use and I get nowhere near that. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!

you can try wiping battery stats. if you have been flashing roms that can sometimes cause bad battery life. also the standard making sure radios you arent using are turned off and what not. but i'm sure you already know that. most recoveries have an option built in to wipe battery stats or you can use an app called batterycalibration. pretty straight forward app. hope that helps.

backup your wife's rom and restore it on your phone. wipe battery and you should have exact same battery life as your wife's.
Thanks i will try that

if that still doesn't work, swap your phone with hers. She wouldn't even know.

LOL! Oh, they know. They all have radar.
May be a bad battery, 20% an hour is an aweful lot
LOL she would definitely know if I swapped it out. I bought the platinum brand 34000mah extended life battery from best buy and I'm seeing little improvement. I really hate to think its the phone since I have s-off and really dont Want a 1.5 hboot. Could some one tell me which radio I should have. Could that affect battery life as well?

The radio version shouldn't effect battery life that much, could be from a bad signal, the phone constantly searching for signal kills the battery quick, and when you say her phone lasts 16 hours with moderate use.... That doesn't tell us too much,
Screen on time is where the valuable information comes from....
Do everything you can to maximize battery life... Turn on and off the certain radios as you need them etc.
And do a battery stat wipe, as this is calibrating the phone to the battery, not the battery to the phone... Flashing kernals and roms could Bork battery stats very easily... And flashing to a different one wouldn't necessarily fix the problem... Hope you get it worked out,
Get rid of auto brightness too, get your captivate buttons to a lower brightness they eat the battery up too...

Loving the DNA so far but I've noticed my kernel usage has been high. I don't think It's almost never been below 30%, at one point it was at 50%. From my understanding this is not normal and is creating bad battery drain. If anyone has any suggestions or advice it would be appreciated. Maybe I should try a different kernel? Here's some screenshots from a few minutes ago.

You can try a different kernel there are two different ones in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1967 . However, the kernel is (are) the piece(s) of software that basically runs everything, so having the most battery usage out of the kernel is to be expected. The kernels on the form I gave may have better battery usage for multiple reasons (optimized resource usage, bloat removed, etc.) but it will (probably) still be the biggest battery eater.

Thanks. I was kinda thinking that. It makes sense that the kernel will be higher in percentage the less the screen is used and vice versa. Just seemed like my battery drain was excessive and since the kernel usage percentage was the highest I assumed that it was the problem. I'll give a different kernel a go and see what happens. Thanks again.

Sure thing, but don't expect much more battery life. With a quad core processor, two gigabytes of RAM, a 1080p screen, and an active 4G radio this monster draws a lot of power.

I hear ya. Just seems like I'm getting a lot less battery than what I've seen other people claim they get, especially in deep sleep but oh well. And yes, this thing is a monster lol. Best phone I've had yet.

I wondered the same. Both kernal usage and android system are many times higher than my last HTC.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good app for battery monitoring and stats? I don't care about increasing battery life or anything like that I just want extra stats and info.

Yeah, I only ran a sense JB ROM for a few days, but HTC really effed up the battery reporting, (and quick settings). Really disappointed in HTC. Oh well, I never use sense anyway.
From my Evo LTE, yup.
Better BatteryStats
I have seen battery calibration Apps.in the play store that claim they should be run after you ROM your phone. They claim there is possibly that there might be bad information in the batterystats.bin file.
If this is true, I have three batteries for my phone. Should I run this app for all three batteries. Does the phone track each battery separately?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
No. It does not track batteries. Wiping battery stats is a huge controversy. Some believe it, some don't and even Google has shed light on the subject. It supposedly wipes the battery stats to give you a more accurate report of battery levels. It seems to help for me and I do it after every flash. It seems like the percentage drops at a more gradual and steady rate versus some quick drops occasionally. But if you think about it, it really can't make a difference since every time you charge your phone and unplug it, the contents in the batterystats.bin file is reset. You can see for yourself by navigating to data>system>batterystats.bin with a root Explorer and viewing it as text. Towards the bottom you'll notice a bunch of your apps names that you have been using that it tracks.
It's your call on Wiping after flashing. I figure why not. Not like it will hurt anything

There is no benefit to wiping battery stats or using a snake oil app to do it. This isn't even a matter of opinion- it had been established as a matter of fact over s year and a half ago when Ms. Dianne Hackborn clearly and concisely debunked the wives' tale. Her Google Plus page is the definitive readon the subject.
You may also want to check out www.batteryuniversity.com for fact based info on calibrating your phone's battery.

i'd think the only thing that needs wiping would be your battery monitor stats. if it gets wonky then it could report amount of time left incorrectly. and obviously that time left is just an estimate and not a hard number.
Thanks
Thanks to all for their responses.
