Share My Creation My Battery - info & discharge

Hello to everybody, My Battery is available on Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.frankygoes.mybattery

Description from Play Store:
My Battery does three simple things: it shows battery information, displays a notification status with battery level and acts as a fast discharger.

Last feature is accomplished by turning on screen, wifi, bluetooth, vibration and flashlight (if present) of your device and you can choose which ones to activate and how much frequently (wifi/bluetooth) modules scans for coupling, so you can accurately tune how slow/fast the discharge will be and which state modules are not altered during/after fast discharge.

Moreover, My Battery lets you decide safety levels of charge and temperature of your battery and stops fast discharge when those levels are reached. Fast discharge automatically stops too when your device is plugged. You can also configure My Battery to play a continuous sound (if the app is running or notification set to persistent) when level of charge goes under the minimum you setted: a secondary notification will be showed and sound will stop if you tap it.

Main features:
★ Battery info: detailed information about device battery
★ Notification: battery status in notification area
★ Fast discharge: accelerate the discharge of your battery
★ Power usage: standard Android power statistics
★ Copy to clipboard: send battery information to clipboard
★ Help: instructions about My Battery usage
★ Settings: options to customize My Battery behavior

NOTE: Older Android 2.x devices do not allow to enable bluetooth when in airplane mode.

Typo

Well done, very pleasing design.
Just one ad-hoc finding:
In Settings, farheneit should read fahrenheit.

I like the look of it but unfortunately it says the nexus 7 is not supported so can't comment on how it is in use.

My generic 7 inch tablet is not supported. :sign0161:

but looks good on my phone.
FYI: About screen needs to scroll so you can see the last HTTP address as it is cut off

no install if no phone module...

My mistake, will correct in next release, thank you.

My Asus tablet is not supported too, probably phone permissions block installation on tablets. I will release soon a new version, that should be compatible with those devices...

JakeBullet70, could you please send me a screenshot of About dialog from the device where you observe the issue ?

In the meantime, I attached to this post the apk of My Battery 1.0 so you can install it manually on your tablets too and give it a try

Thank you guys for your support

probably phone permissions block installation on tablets

See this thread: How to edit Manifest such that tablet without a phone will be listed as'"supported"

Yes, Erel, I suspected that...

I've one more question you may answer. My Battery requires these permission:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FLASHLIGHT"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.UPDATE_DEVICE_STATS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_PHONE_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>

Do you think adding AddManifestText(<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false"/>) is sufficient or I need some other <uses-feature> (for example android.hardware.bluetooth, android.hardware.camera or android.hardware.wifi) for the fact My Battery uses wifi, bluetooth and camera ?

Thank you in advance.

You will need to add several "uses-features". When you upload the APK to Google Play it shows a list with all the features it found based on the permissions.

My Battery new release should install on tablets...

Thank you Erel. I've just published a new version of My Battery (1.2 not yet visible 'cause Google Play is very slow...) whom manifest declares several uses-features to false and allow the install of the app on more devices (tablets)...

Very nice app, fast and simple, usefull . Text font a bit small for settings !

 

[frapel]

Thank you very much for your appreciation.

Next release of My Battery will probably have a bigger font on hi-res screen.
