What is a good app to see the current charging current for the phone?

Verizon version.

I use Battery Charge Source Current :thumbup:

I looked at that one. it says right in the description however that it does not work with the Galaxy S3. :-(

Really? Just the north american ones?

Working for me

(I tweaked the phone to draw 1200mA so that seems right)

Battery monitor widget is a good one

The developer says so, and ought to know!

Not working on my S3 Stock JB T-mo
no wurk!
0mA

Well it obviously shows current on mine lol and funnily enough, other apps show the same current
It doesnt show "source" of the current (usb/wall) though but think i can figure that bit out

:rofl:

There are two apps called battery monitor widget. Both only show how much mA the phone is using, not what it is pulling from the charger.

Elixir 2, nuff said.

Think i found that Elixr 2 was usin up a lot of CPU constantly mate.. i only used it to show me CPU frequency in statusbar and then i used another CPU monitor app to.. monitor CPU and show it in a graph and it seemed to me that Elixr wasnt letting CPU relax down to 200Mhz so it was probably using up more power than it was worth

Depends entirely on what you tell it to do and what items you have as widgets mate :thumb:

If you have a widget to show CPU, then the widget will constantly poll for CPU usage, using the CPU, so constantly reporting back 'some' CPU usage catch 22.

Yeah true mate lol. Makes sense
