Android Useful Apps

I've been using Ampere for a few months and it seems relatively accurate. I've tested it with my car charges and home chargers, as well as different cables.
It helped me to diagnose a faulty cable.

That it will, just not the values as far as I understand from their site.

This is on my G3 with the same wall charger.

Different battery tech with different limitations I guess.

Sensor Sense: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kristofjannes.sensorsense

Just amazing the amount and type of information our phones are collecting every second...

This is very cool.
All the things it measures:

Sensors:ᶧ
• Temperature
• Light
• Pressure
• Humidity
• Sound
• Acceleration
• Gravity
• Gyroscope
• Rotation
• Magnetic field (with compass)
• Proximity
• Location
• Speed
• Battery
• Battery temperature
• WiFi strength
• Mobile network strength

I don't know how it measures Gravity (or how this differs from acceleration).
Or why it's measuring pressure.
Or how rotation is different from gyroscope.

Delete. It definitely doesn't work. It's a pity though.

I tired it on my G4 to test different USB cables, also had the experience that the app seemed all over the place with its readings.

Ampere gets it readings from the OS. They say that if the charger is really crap, the OS reports 0mA

Battery Monitor Widget shows negative mA if it's discharging. Some chargers maintain charge- 0.7A, some stop it discharging as much- 0.5A. Then the 2A ones actually charge..

Nice App- I've got the widget on my desktop.

Looks similar to Smart Tools, which has a bit more.

GoMetro Traffic is the first non-GPS Traffic Alerts app for SA - just save your usual trip and we will do the rest.

Are you one of the developers?

 

[CranialBlaze]

Are you one of the developers?

If he is, it would be nice if the app was made available to phone, it is incompatible with my:

LG G3
Samsung Note
HTC One
Huawei P6/P8

Admittedly I do not actually own all of these any more, just the G3, but clearly it have the worlds smallest support list.

 

[Aharon]

Available for note 5

nope, just heard about it on 5FM this morning

What's wrong with Waze ?

What's wrong with Waze ?

Thus only use in this is for preplanning, it monitors traffic and alerts you to problems during your specified travel period.

It is not a real time gps traffic monitor. They basically doing manually what google now can do automatically

They basically doing manually what google now can do automatically

Pretty much this.

Also Google now own Waze, so you pretty much get exactly the same with Google Maps beside crowd sourced data such as road blocks / mobile traps. Everything else is available in Maps.

Works on my P8 .
