Battery Widget

Description

Display current battery level and discharge rate - for best results run this widget soon after or while charging, this is how the widget detects a new charge cycle.Time since last charged is now displayed on round watches as well as VAHR - see additional info here: https://www.dsapptech.com/mybattery.html Time remaining will have a "d" for days or "h" for hours, i.e. 23d means 23 days remaining battery. Toggle through views by tapping or pressing the start button. Also, check out my large font watch face MegaTime https://www.dsapptech.com/megatime.html and my multi-sport activity recording app DWatch https://www.dsapptech.com/dwatch.html

Not accurate, after 35 hours I have 91.1% battery left which according the app is 0.384% per hour discharge rate. Simple calculation gives actual discharge rate of 0.2543% approximately

The discharge rate on the home screen is a long term average that is carried across charge cycles. That rate tends to be more accurate in predicting battery life than the current discharge rate. The details screen shows this long term rate as well as the rate during the current charge cycle and the rate since the widget was run previously.

The widget does not show fully on vivoactive. Time remaining and since last view are visible, but numbers aren’t.

Recently downloaded for my Vivoactive HR along with several others. This was the only one that has a highly visible indicator that the watch is charging when plugged into a USB charger (not PC). I had a problem with a cable that wouldn't always connect properly and needed something that showed the fact that it was actually charging properly. So far, this feature and all the others work as advertised.

Thank you for your feedback and I'm glad this helped. I also have a watchface that displays a charging banner. Search for MegaTime in store.

Very good tool: there seems to be a little bug though - a run today seems to have affected long term average which rose above average since last charged (yesterday), should‘ve affected the latter more

I did find and fix an error in the average consumption calculation

Worked fine on my vivoactive 3, but does not seems to work on Venu

Can you send me more info? This works on the simulator, but there's nothing like an actual device to fix problems. email [email protected]

If you quickly press on the start/stop button multiple times you will see how your remaining time keeps increasing. I got mine up to 2.3 days from 40 hours. Looks buggy.

When the current discharge rate is much greater than the current average, the average will change substantially; however, I modified that in v0.1.28 to be less sensitive. I updated the algorithm again in v0.1.29.

After recent uodate it is no longer showing correct data. "since last charge" now only starts counting after widget was opened. I charged fully at 8pm and next morning I see 0h usage

The widget can only detect charge events when it is run during or just after charging your device.

Great Widget! Works very well on the 945 - one little critique though: long term average seems to always deliver the same values as since last charge... maybe this could be fixed.

If you have a CIQ_LOG.TXT file on your watch that you can email me, I'll look into it. Glance mode works on the Fenix 6 Sapphire

Hi, thank you for the app, it's really helpful. But could you please teach me about data fields on second display after pushing start button; Long term avg, and the others? Thanks!

Developer Reply
September 15, 2019, dsapptech

The widget calculates the discharge rate for three time periods: 'Long term avg' is averaging discharge rate over many charge periods 'Since Last Chg' is discharge rate from the last time the watch was charged 'Since Last View' is discharge rate since the widget was last run - use this to measure the battery consumption of some other app - run widget, run other app, run widget, 'Since Last View' is the battery consumption of the other app
