Did you ever feel, that one Charger/USB cable charges your device really fast and the other doesn't? Now, you can prove this with Ampere.
Measure the charging and discharging current of your battery. The app works on Android 4.0.3+ devices. Not every device is supported because there are devices which lacks an appropriate measurement chip (or the interface) and they can not be supported at all. (Mostly higher end Samsung and HTC models.)
The app is not meant to be exactly mA accurate has has a count of 10mA. It is only good for evaluation of which Charger/USB cable combo is working the best for you on the same device.
Start the app and wait for 10 seconds ("measuring" is on the display). After this time, the charging or discharging current will be shown.
The current depends on many things:
- Charger (USB/AC/Wireless)
- USB cable
- Phone type
- Current tasks running
- Display brightness
- WiFi state
- GPS state
The app measures the charging/discharging current of the battery. If your phone is not connected to a charger, you see the discharging current which is negative. If you connect a charger then the current what the charger gives will be used to supply your phone and the remaining power will be charged into the battery.
If your phone consumes 300 mA without a charger connected (-300mA on the display), then a 500 mA charger will charge your battery maximum with 200 mA current (200mA on display).
Size: 3.5M
Requires Android: 4.0.3 and up
Some user reviews:
"Great app! Love this app! I've gotten rid of so many crappy cables and chargers, now my phone charges much faster!"
"Simple and nice. Good app to check for faulty charger or cables!"
"Really informative I was able to work out why my phone was charging so slow. USB extenders really drop the amount of power your phone receives"
