Monitor Battery Consumption
 

Here is a good write up of an app that enables you to watch and monitor your battery consumption...

I uploaded the .CAB of the latest version, v1.3.... It is a great app that I have on my phone right now...

good lookin Dann

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

Yo BigD, how much resources this thing uses, wouldnt it be a load on the battery?

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

You can turn it on or off as you please... So if yoyr not using it or need it, you can turn it off... What I like is that it tells me my battery temp, which is 266.7°C with Opera Mobile, Kinoma, and the battery thing on...

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

Yeah I gave it a shot and just got rid of it. It didnt provide me with any data that I cared for .No go.

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

What didnt you like about it hbenz?

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

Well, it just doesnt provide me with any tool to better the TP operation, my battery rarely stops charging, even with that it gets back on track within minutes. So I am not sure how I will use this monitor.
I use a data monitor, and that tells me that my push mail barely uses any resources and with that inforamtion i am not concerned about push mail drinking too much juice at all.
How would you benefit from this batery monitor Big D?May be I will give it another shot and see if I can use its data in conjunction with the data monitor info,

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

I only like I can tell the battery temp... I just downloaded it yesterday.. Its definitely not a MUST NEED... lol... I haven't had it enough to see its full potential.. idk..

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

Interesting, my battery is at 336.7 degrees Celcius! I should be able to replace my home heating with this!

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

Right on dude, may be even hook up the neighbor Vienna dude..:mrgreen:

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

Turn down the heat! Use your Touch Pro to heat the house!

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

I'm gonna give this a shot on my Touch. Leave it to Big D, he's always finding the coolest stuff.

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

haha.. Thank Guitar... Just lookin out for PPC Geeks..

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

that is why he is the Big D

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

hahaha HBenz

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

That Diesel he has averages about 300 mpg man, that dude is eveywhere, never runs out, he is a good guy

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

Thank you HBenz... Just doin my part....

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

You are a unique dude, keep it up man

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

It's just what I do... :)

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

Will this program or any battery monitoring programs that gauge total battery usage run while the device is suspended? i tried using acbpowermeter yesterday and i noticed it was not keeping a tally while the device was suspended. I know this will be a drain on the battery, but i would like to get an idea of the total discharge over the course of a day.

Also, i noticed with nuepower running while my phone was charging, it got to about 80%, shot straight to 100% and said it was charged... maybe this is why it discharges so fast....

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

When the device is suspended, the CPU is off. Halted. Not running. Kaput.

So no, it's not going to run. Your battery draw will be just what the radio is drawing assuming your other support chips and whatnot have powered off correctly, or somewhere between 20-30ma unless your radio has flipped out - which apparently is one of the red-hot phone failure modes for the touch pro.

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

Other than tracking temp, how does this compare to acbPowerMeter? I've used acb forever...

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

I just use it for the temp gauge.. And that is not super accurate...

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

Take it to the sauna next time D

Re: Monitor Battery Consumption
 

lol hbenz.. Might work out :)
