And how accurate was that? Many batteries today jump quickly up to about 80%, then slow down quite a bit, so unless the battery itself can calculate that based on the current input power and provide that back, the OS is not likely to know it. Socket chargers, car chargers, battery degrading, there is no way to predict the charge time unless the battery can calculate that.
JuicePlotter has a widget that can do this. It also gives an estimate of how many hours you have left of battery power. It takes several charge cycles to get 100% accuracy and tells you the current level of accuracy. It's based on your usage and history of charge times. So the more the feature is used, the more accurate it becomes at predicting times.
I agree... I always have to plug my phone in during the day. Looks like Google got sick of being beaten down by Apple in this category. I wonder if the battery improvement would still be noticeable from playing games. It's great if the OS uses less power, but games are what kills my battery the most.
Microsoft windows phone OS running smoothly on entry level windows phone.
wow. a more efficient software delivering two additional hours on the same hardware spec. impressive.
After a few charges the OS seems to get the hang of things and seems pretty accurate.
Yeah, I still prefer things like that to be integrated into the OS though, it seemed pretty accurate after a few charges, gives you all the usual graphs and what was taking power at what time, In Android L it just kinda works and is on by default.
OnePlus One is a new phone that runs Cyanogenmod from factory, it is also rather low priced for the hardware and overall a great phone.
