KitKat-like battery usage app for Android 6?

[mikeymikec]

KitKat's native battery usage breakdown used to present how long the device had been running on battery completely up-front. Since Android 5 however, the focus of that breakdown now seems to be an unintelligent analysis of how much battery life might remain. I prefer the older system. Does anyone know of an app that's like what KitKat had?:

Its called upgrading to android 6.0 .

What happens when you tap the graph?

It didn't take any meaningful information away. It actually gave you better information, and more of it.

I use Powerful Monitor. Has nice widgets for RAM usage, temperature, and CPU stats as well.

EDIT: Doesn't give exact value for time on battery though, it just shows a graph.

Same as on KitKat: a larger graph + wifi/gps/awake/screen/charging usage intervals below the graph (however on Android 6.x, no figure for how long it's been running on battery).

Try GSam Battery Monitor

The problem is exacerbated if you have really low drain (like if you leave your phone unplugged for 4 hours). You'll drain like 2% maybe and it will extrapolate the graph for days. You can't even zoom in on the drained portion.

I was dissapointed too after realizing it's gone, not just hidden somewhere. Estimated time left is usually a complete garbage information, I've had cases where it was wrong by more than a week... It would literally be more useful if it weren't there at all.

I usually take 'phone idle' time as a good estimate. In cases of higher usage, I can add 'Screen' and 'Standby'. This is good enough for me, so I didn't bother finding and installing some app for this. But if you need precise time like in 4.4.4, unfortunately that's the only option.
