More powerful car charger?

Charger on, charger off. App doesn't work on my Verizon Galaxy S4...

Ordered this one last week and it has been working great for me.

I thought your phone showed 1900mA. What was it plugged into then? And how much are you getting in your car?

No it's just in home I haven't checked yet in the car. I will do it and post it here. But I was assuming that original usb cable should charge my phone without problems in the car. It's little weird.

What app is that? Is that showing the AMOUNT of mA it's charging at??? while plugged in?

Widget displays the same thing for me on my phone and my charger charges relatively fast so I doubt the app is accurate (for me).

Strange that CurrentWidget works on some people's S4s but not others.

I can confirm that the newer Verizon charger does charge at 1900mAh.

I'm still trying to find a home charger that properly charges at that speed.

I emailed the developer and told him my issues. After some information exchange, he sent a new apk for me to try. It worked! PM me your email address if you need it now or wait for a Google play update coming soon.

The developer is great. Quite responsive. He is going to add a couple suggestions I made soon.

Why does the current widget show the 460mA when it's not charging? Is that whats the battery is pulling from the battery or something?

Yeah I wonder the same thing. It can't be because the phone would vary depending on what you're doing. It would be useful to have an accurate read of current draw as well as charge.

I may be wrong but I believe it is supposed to read - 460. That is more accurate with the screen on and the phone off change.

Battery monitor widget gives a fairly accurate real time mA estimate

I don't trust the discharge rate. I talked to the developer about making a minus and plus sign and he told me that you can see the charge icon when it's charging buy he may add it soon.
