Charging wattage

[Terence Pang]

Hello. Is there any apps that can show the wattage figure that I am charging into my android phone battery?
Thanks.

I don't think so, not an app on its own. But you can get an inexpensive USB meter that plugs in line with the charger. that usually measure amps, watts, and volts.

Why do you want to see it?

Why do you want to see it?

I want to check how and when the quick charge is really working. I think my charging speed isn't really that fast.

What phone do you have?

Not all phones allow apps to read the phone's power profile. For example no app can work on my Vivo phone because they can't read the charging current value from the phone.

What model mobile device do you have and which version of Android is it running?
Try installing the AccuBattery app, it monitors a number of power/charging aspects. Needs a Lollipop (v5) or above though.

Also, don't forget the basic formula -- volts x amps = watts (i.e. 5 volts x 2 amps = 10 watts)
