Now you know exactly how much power your phone is using!

This great little app measures the power consumption of your phone! It shows in a graph format allowing you to work out what the energy consumption is.

For example take a flash photo and the thing will rocket up. You can measure bluetooth, GPS, wifi, music playback etc. The possibilities are endless! :)

I can see in the near future people giving "real" battery advice because we'll soon know what saves on power and by exactly how much! For example even turning off the beeps can save quite a bit. I've notice plenty of spikes in the graph even when pressing a keypad button! It has a lot of potential to work out the best power saving methods!

Just installed this!
If you press "0" it also shows the temperature for some reason?

Great find!! Thanks

The "0" key, gives power in Watts, or current consumed in Amps, it just toggles between these two values.

how do i download it?

do i have to pay for it

Click on the info button in the grey area and then download. It's free...

Here s an interesting test to start with. Please post your findings too!

I tested both n95 8GB (v11) and n95-1 (v20) under the same conditions e.g. offline mode, all apps closed except energy profiler, phone from reboot state, both apps started at the same time, changed display lit time to 60 secs etc.

At idle with both screen lit the n95 8GB consumes approx 0.28w whereas the n95-1 consumes approx 0.33w! It's very sensitive so varies slightly sometimes but the 8GB is always more efficient by at least 0.04w!

So the new model is slightly more efficient even though it has a bigger and brighter screen.

On idle with both screens unlit it consumes 0.19w and 0.20w respectively and sometimes the gap increased to 0.02w again the 8GB winning on efficiency. It goes into a deeper sleep state if left for a while and consumes even less power but again there was always a small gap between the two.
