Work really good Message to the developer: Do you know a way to setup battery threshold for an iphone. (you just mentioned it for android) I also need to understand how to use the server data export feature Thanks

I never own an iPhone, so I cannot tell you for sure. But I expect that you only need to set the threshold in the app settings through Garmin Connect on the iPhone, same as on Android. Then when the threshold is reached you should get a notification saying that Garmin wants to open the webpage 'http://battery-level-reached.garmin'. That is how you would know the threshold is reached. I sadly don't know of any magic to make it nicer, like we can do on Android using Tasker

Nice app for battery monitoring. It would be a great feature to add a chart for more than 14 days for Instinct 2

Thank you for your review. In theory it would be possible to remember & display more than 14days, but that would result in longer execution time in the background task every 15min. The reason for that is that the storage is pretty full with the current way of storing data (one float per slot). More data can be stored if every slot would take an array of values, but then to save a new reading the background task would have to read the old array, process it and rewrite the complete value.

Great tool. Allowed me to debug a faulty battery and get a replacement watch.

Great battery monitoring app. Forerunner 955 solar, Instinct 2 solar. Although it does not have color graphs, you will find out how much the battery was discharged during the activity and how much the solar charged.

Nice data for battery status，but unfortunately the notification for charging threshold doesn't work at all.My device is FR955 with IOS.

For some reason it doesnt send battery threshold notification to phone anymore. Other IQ app with same functionality works okay.

Nice app. Does what it is supposed to, well. One suggestion: maybe redesign the battery and question mark symbol.. make it look prettier.. just a thought... and thanks for the app!

I was using the app for past three months. Appreciated your effort. And thanks for the new export feature. I have an suggestion on export feature. As I have no idea how to export data to webdav. If there is an option like save as to txt, xls or csv. will more helpful for general users.

Hi Senthil, thank you for your review. Yes, I totally understand that the export option is not ideal, but sadly Garmin is limiting on what can be send out of the watch. 1. there is no way to send/save data as txt, xls or csv 2. there is no way to store data directly to the phone 3. the only way is to send data to the internet and it has to be JSON formatted So, I need a service available on the internet, to receive the export. This could be a public service like pastebin, but then the export would be publicly available. Or I could run an own service (that potentially would overcome all the shortcomings 1-3), but as this is a free app I cannot sustain to run and maintain extra infrastructure. So I decided to make it possible for users that have their own cloud-storage to export it there. I'm happy to discuss other options where to send data to. If anyone has ideas please open an issue in https://github.com/individual-it/BatteryGuesstimate/issues

Great app. Love how it works. I wish the loading for graph is quicker.

Thank you for the nice review! Just to give a bit of background: The reason for the slow graph loading is the fact that the app has to read quite a bit of data from permanent storage. There is some caching involved, e.g. you would have notices that when you switch from a shorter graph to a longer one, the first bit is loading faster than the rest and if you switch back the graph comes up very quickly. A different data structure would speed up the loading, but would have a negative impact on the battery consumption. I wrote some details here: https://github.com/individual-it/BatteryGuesstimate/issues/24#issuecomment-1403075292 Feel free to add your opinion in the issue.

Seems nice so far. Let’s you choose what duration you want to see battery life calculated for, which is nice because it’s super clear how the expected life is computed. Still testing out but so far it seems really nice!

How do I import that battery threshold profile/task .PRF.XML file to Tasker? Very nice feature just need to get it working. :P

Love the latest update for option to change glances time period. Instinct 2 consumption is so small that 15 min is a bit too short period to measure. Using 30 and 60 min now. Thanks.

Nice app. But I have in 15 min still zeroes on instinct 2 solar? It is ok?

Yes, if the battery status did not change within 15 min (what is very possible on an instict 2 solar, depending on how you use it) the widget will only show zeros. I'm currently working on a version where you can set the timeframe for the glance view to whatever you want. see https://github.com/individual-it/BatteryGuesstimate/issues/8

Since the loading of the graph takes too long, at least in Instinct 2, it would be more practical if the first page of the widget showed the 15, 30 , 45,60 min. Thank you

Awesome and very useful widget! It would be very useful if the user could adjust the interval of the log. In case by adjusting for example the interval at 1hour instead of 15m, could save battery.

thank you for your review and also the idea. I've opened an issue to remind me https://github.com/individual-it/BatteryGuesstimate/issues/14 But I would not expect much battery saving, because the work that is done every 15min is very minimal. Still that would allow to store longer data periods
