Rundown ver 1.02 - only avalable here on PDA Street forums
This is a simple utility for determining battery capacity. When testing please turn brightness/backlight all the way to off. The test will take a while to run, but in the end you will have a good profile of your battery performance. To tell that it is working: the time on screen should update once a minute. See graph in next post. OS5 devices only.
On the first screen there is a button to start the test.
This will prevent auto-off.
It will poll once a minute. If the battery level has changed from the previous reading, then an entry is made in the log.
When the warning voltage level is reached, then auto-off is re-enabled and the machine will power off after two minutes.
You don't have to run down your battery to the ground. You can stop the test at any time with the "Stop test" button of course.
You can export the data to a csv file for graphing with Excel or for posting here.
With the test started, you can switch to other apps. It will continue working in the background. This will let us compare the drain of specific applications compared to the baseline of doing nothing.
The app itself does very little work so I don't expect it to drain significant power itself and therefore skew the results.
