I use this one. On the setup set Reverse mA, from battery files, record all the time (10min), and show mA in history.
There's also this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw
Haven't tried it, but it should do the same thing as accubattery. Has been recently updated, but the design is kinda old
Warm can be rather subjective, unfortunately.
Maybe you can try installing 3C Battery Monitor Widget and use it to monitor the current drain when you're using the phone. It also has temperature logging, which is useful. It would be able to give us a better idea of what warm means to you.
Edit: formatting
I have an S4. I'm not sure but the game is probably draining about 2000 mA per minute. If you use powerbank or car charge this is not AC charging, it's USB charging which gives your phone power around like 500 mA per minute. And I don't know the techinal part of it but even some plug-charging would still not be enough since they charge 1300-1500 mA per minute. Use this app to check the mA you get or lose (when you open the app switch to history tab)
ps: I am not an engineer and have no idea what mA is. If something above doesnt make sense, sorry.
I've been looking into this last night/today and I found this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw
I'm using it primarily because it gives an estimation of the mAh capacity of the battery. After one charge cycle (2-100%) it's estimating 1491mAh for me with ±6% accuracy (down from the original 2300). I'll try a few cycles though to see if it is consistent.
I just use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw
It's powerful, gives me graphs and other advanced options, tells me how long I've been off charger, and also how much power I'm using/gaining at different times. Pretty sweet. It's one of the the first few apps I always install on a new phone, Nexus 6 included. Sorry for formatting, on mobile.
I bought two here. First one was a cheapy one from Ebay and was terrible... capacity was worse than my water damaged original and it got hot as hell while charging. The LG OEM label on it was so badly faked it was comical. I was actually scared to keep using it for fear of damage or fire.
The next attempt I got a Patona branded one. Unlike the ones pretending to be OEM on Ebay or Amazon they were upfront about being an offbrand. It's been in the device about 4 months (I've since switched phones but someone else is continuing to use it) and provided capacity roughly equivalent to the original when it was new, as measured by the mAH estimation tool in Battery Monitor Widget.
I would guess nothing on Ebay or Amazon advertising to be OEM is actually manufactured by LG. They probably shut down production of the batteries alltogether by now... at best there might be some old stock sitting on a shelf somewhere but an 18 month old battery won't have a perfect capacity even if it's factory sealed.
Battery split off as a store app through the stupid digital well-being app.
Depending on version installed, battery estimates may or may not work or be accurate. Google's battery monitor hasn't worked well for several generations of Android anyways.
Just ignore, don't install updates, use 3C battery monitor instead.
If you don't have a hardware usb tester, try monitoring with a battery app like 3C Battery Manager for an idea how much amperage and consistency a given cable can provide while connected to your head unit (do it with perhaps 50% battery level). If it's low and unstable, perhaps you have not found the right cable. I'm not sure what kind of cable will work better with Huawei or if it's something else i.e. if Huawei is still notoriously difficult to work with AA.
Ah great. Just for reference, BC 1.2 is what those ports with the little battery icon that are rated for charging have, usually like on the hub in the video, it's only one specific port or two. I suppose like the guy says also you need to make sure they pass data through, cause there also exist charging-only ports but I think those are increasingly rare these days.
Ampere will work in a pinch to roughly estimate how quick it's charging, though I use 3C Battery Manager cause it logs the values with the screen off. But no app is really accurate, especially with phones nowadays using different voltages. If you want accuracy in measuring amps or watts you may wanna invest in a hardware USB power monitor, they're pretty inexpensive.
Instala o 3C Battery Monitor Widget, tenho a versão Pro dele há uns anos já e é bem legal, mostra umas informações bacanas da bateria. Apesar do nome, o widget é só uma parte dele, o app em si é bem completinho.
Sobre a variação, é assim mesmo (apesar de eu não entender nada disso).
Is it possible to charge at faster than 18W if you use a more powerful power delivery charger?
I'd be very happy if it could do 9v3a/27W... To test this you would have to plug it into a new macbook usbc charger for example, when it has quite low battery remaining, and then see if 3C battery meter or Accubattery report anything higher than 18W.
Cara, dá uma olhada nesse app: 3C Battery Monitor. Eu uso a versão paga, mas pelo que me lembro quando testei a versão grátis ela é mais do que suficiente. Ele fica monitorando diversos parâmetros da sua bateria e gera gráficos sobre isso. Por exemplo, quando você está dormindo espera que o consumo seja extremamente baixo - se perceber que está algo tem algo de errado.
Agora, acho que ele não mostra o consumo de cada app (não uso ele pra isso). Mas tenho um S7 Edge (é só uma geração de diferença do seu) e se eu entrar em "configurações" > "device maintenance" > "battery" você consegue ver algumas informações legais - nessa primeira tela você vê umas estatísticas sobre o consumo por hora de cada app; se entrar em "battery usage" você consegue ver o consumo de cada app desde a última carga completa. Se perceber que tem algum app consumindo muita bateria (quando não deveria - não adianta reclamar que o Pokémon Go tá consumindo muito se você passa o dia inteiro jogando ��), dentro de "battery usage" clique nos três pontinhos no canto superior direito da tela e entre em "optimize battery usage" e selecione o(s) app(s) em questão.
Boa sorte aí.
Battery Monitor Widget can do this. Here is a screen shot showing what it will log. I have the paid version, but I'm pretty sure the free one will also do logging.
this happened to me on atleast 3 phones.
Replace the cable and your good 99% of the time.
you could even check the charging rate with an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw
to confirm its the cable. but pls dont get a cheap 9ne because they charge slower and break sooner
Have you tried looking at a Battery Monitor app? I've found that sometimes I'll plug in my Nexus 7 2013 and it'll show that its charging in the status bar, but in the app it shows its plugged in but still draining. So I'll have to wiggle the usb or unplug/replug to get it to fit right.

This is the app I was referring to. Battery monitor widget. I have the pro version and the only thing I really use it for is to view the mAh. I use better battery stats for most everything else.
I bought one of these chargers off eBay a little over a week ago after reading that thread, and it's been amazing. It charges five times faster than my previous charger, getting up to 1538 mA according to my battery monitor.
> I was strongly considering the ZTE Axon 7
Don't know anything about that phone. Hardware Comparison wise: the A7 has a higher resolution screen, older chipset than the 3T (but same as mine), higher MP primary camera but lower secondary than 3T (but same as mine), newer USB-C port, lower capacity battery than yours (better than mine), and only 4GB RAM vs 6GB for the 3T. I think it comes down to A7 if you want a better screen and primary camera, 3T if you want better processor and RAM. Personally I'd take the 3T because processor and RAM will affect the last-ability of the phone more than the screen & camera (unless that's your main use). I'm also guessing the 3T and OnePlus is more popular so there'd be longer unofficial support for it and accessories. I wouldn't mind the camera and screen upgrade though, but I always want the best, haha. What's the price difference? That's a pretty big consideration as well.
> I remember one review of the OP3 saying that OOS and all the files/apps/whatever it came with took up 15 GB of space on their review unit...which is a huge amount for such a (seemingly) mild tweaking of vanilla Android. My N5 OS uses way less.
Well my OP3 has 64GB of storage, and storage usage says xx.xx of 52.67GB. So I assume the OS is 64GB - 52.67GB = 11.33GB. My N5 is 32GB so 32GB - 26.76 = 5.24GB. So an extra 6.09 for the OS from N5 to OP3 I'm guessing. 6GB isn't such a big deal to me, I have 23GB free right now and 7GB of pics and videos waiting to be transferred off and deleted. If storage is a big issue for you, you can even get the 128GB version of the 3T. It's probably cheaper though to just get a thumb drive or MicroSD card & adapter, and a OTG cable & USB-C/MicroUSB adapter for extra storage though. The adapters and cables are like about $1-2 each.
Nova Launcher's great, just takes a little playing around with to get the hang of it since it got so many options. As for the Google Now Launcher, I never liked the left side Now Screen nor did I like the search bar always being there.
> I actually ended up ordering the 3T a couple of days ago!
Congrats! I'm jelly you got a better chipset, secondary camera, and better battery than me, LOL. I'm sure after a few weeks or a month of using it, you won't be able to go back to the N5 as your primary phone. I still sometimes tether my N5 to my OP3 and use both but the N5 is finding less use. It does come in handy having two phones though.
> I might even change the N5 battery
I know somebody who did that, and I was going to do it...I have the new battery and all but didn't do it. When you swap the battery on the N5, you lose the temperature sensor which is built into the N5 battery. Your sensor will always read 37 degrees after the swap, I'm not sure if it's such a big deal though. The person who did it said his battery capacity got better initially, but later it went down somewhat. It's dependent on the replacement battery I guess (ebay, cheap Chinese), not sure if he got a net improvement or not. His old N5 battery started to swell up after a few days in one spot too after he took it out, he said he banged that area with a screwdriver and not super hard either. So I guess be careful if you take yours out not to puncture the battery and bang it around too hard. I mean it's not that dangerous, but I wouldn't stab it with a knife or smack it with a hammer is all I'm saying.
If you want to closely monitor your battery, I use battery monitor widget. You don't really need to have a widget going, and it will log your battery condition in the background and make graphs and such so you can see the drain and figure out what's causing it. It is kind of complicated as Nova Launcher to go through all it's options though, but if you want to look at all the nitty gritty details of your battery charging and discharging, that's the app.
> But the expected delivery is January 6! Damn, what a long wait
Mine showed up exactly one week after the order, so Jan 6 might just be the maximum wait depending on their supplies.

Use this to measure mah
Maybe you can use something like..
3C Batter Manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw&hl=en_CA&gl=US
or
Accubattery https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digibites.accubattery&hl=en_CA&gl=US
To see your charging rates and/or history over time?
on 3C Battery, I have it logging every 10 minutes, according to the log, with adaptive charging and an alarm clock set, My phone will charge up to 80% and stop charging at about 3.5 hours before the alarm is set to ring it continues charging and reaches 100% about 30 minutes the alarm is set to ring.
I am using a very old 5V 1A charger with a long cable too. Averaging 700 to 800mA charging until 80%, then slows down to 330mA until full.
This is more a suggestion to use apps to see which chargers work for you, and which ones don't... I don't own any devices which uses Qualcomm's QC tech so I have no idea how it'll react to a Pixel which uses USB PD(Power Delivery) instead of QC(Quick Charge).
On the history tab you can tap the %/h column to have it display mA/h
Use CPU-Z for the full capacity GSAM is inaccurate.

Very accurate charging info
Been using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw to do just the same for at least a year now.
