GSam Battery Monitor
Intuitive GUI with many features
One quick look at the main screen of the app is all you need to identify who's to blame for depleting your battery, whether it's the screen, the phone radio, the WiFi connection, Bluetooth or running apps. Tapping on each category offers more detailed stats, as well as suggestions for improving battery life.
By far, the most useful category is the one displaying power consumption on a per app basis. Here you can view which apps consume the most battery, CPU and network data; which of them use the sensors and GPS the most; and which apps keep your smartphone awake. It is worth noting that the app can use the time interval since your device has been last unplugged or since the last full charge to perform the calculations. However, if you want to monitor apps over a certain period of time, you can create a custom time reference and let Gsam Battery Monitor track usage from that point onwards.
Monitors battery level and temperature
Besides the aforementioned info, the app also provide other useful data, including battery level, temperature, voltage and amperage, as well as an estimation of how long you can use the phone before it runs out of power. This info is displayed in the main screen, but can also be shown on a widget and in the notification bar.
Another handy feature of Gsam Battery Monitor is the possibility to set alarms. Found in the settings screen, this option lets you specify if you want to be alerted whenever the battery level goes above or below a specified threshold, the battery overheats or the voltage exceeds the acceptable value.
