I went to install gsam battery monitor on a new phone and it looks like it has been delisted recently.

Does anyone has more info on that? It was a staple on my phones since almost a decade…

Any alternative that shows a graph with rate of charge/discharge?

    I’ve had a few apps disappear, and I assume either the app is very outdated / incompatible, or the developer pulled it. If you remember the developer, you could follow up and see what they say?

      the dev has no online presence, but they updated the app one year ago to add android 13 support

      it seems the whole dev profile is gone, maybe they felt the new google verification was a hassle

        Sucks, I recently just noticed one of my most used apps SMBSync2 got yoinked but thankfully have it installed still, but I also noticed that APKmirror doesn’t even have a copy of it like it does for GSAM :/

          At least that app was foss so the source and build is still available on GitHub

          Probably the dev was annoyed of the forced change for scoped storage which for a syncing app is almost a complete rewrite

            Innit.

            It’s silly, and they’re nuking devs apps to make them update for the sake of “being active” even thou their app is still like Ronseal and does what it says on the tin, even after all these years and works just fine.

            Might look like Gingerbread but I don’t give a fugg since I don’t even look at it and love that app.

      but on android < 15 it resets as soon as you plug the charger, so it’s not as useful which app drained the battery during the day. Plus it’s buried in the settings. (with a decent launcher it’s possible to have a shortcut)

      On android > 14 is a good enough replacement, though
