Program/App to know how much curent is my phone sucking from my PC

[bender120]

Hi guys, I often charge my phone from my PC using the USB-Port, so I wanted to know if there is a program or app for Android to know how much current is the phone sucking from the PC?

I know that usb mutieters does the same, but I wanted to save some $$

You can get a USB inline meter with nice display from Amazon for under $10 USD.
I use that for my phone.
It shows Amps, Volts, Watts, AmpereHours, WattHours, Resistance of the item being charged or powered.
I think i got 2 for $10 on Amazon.
Plug the thing into the wall wart, plug the phone into that.  If you use a wireless charger, plug the thing into the wall wart, plug the wireless charger into it.
Works with all charge modes up to i think 12v but they may have even better ones now.

Yes they do and very easy to find just go to Amazon and type in "USB meter".
If you get an A type only, you can get an A to C adapter then use it for A or C.
The ones with the C connector may be a little more expensive.

I typed in "USB meter" and got a lot of hits, and this was one of them (both A and C):

Ampere does the job pretty good, also in Play Store.
Anyways, it always depends on the phone, those apps only read the information reported by the system.
