Charging Rate App

I have been pulling my hair out over tablet/phone slow(no charge) events on the trail.  I was on the verge of dumping my Pantech for a traditional GPS device until I found this android app -

Yes it does work on my Pantech, as well as, my S5 Active.  With it I discovered 12v chargers, 110v wall chargers and USB cables that were not working or barely able to charge a device in non-use.  I also learned which charger/cable combination gave the best performance out of a drawer full of spare charger accessories.

Cables do make a lot of difference and found that 28/24awg is recommended.

I know I'm behind the curve in handheld device use but thought someone else might find this info useful.

thanks!! thats very helpful

thank you for this, my pantech has not been charging through my wolvy power outlet, i hope this will correct that

I should also say that your charger needs to be rated 5v @ 2A.
