Battery usage graph on lollipop

[alex00752]

Doe's anyone know if there is a way in the new lollipop version to stop the graph from estimating the moment when the battery will be empty?

Because the graph is squeezed because it is displaying the current value of the battery and the trend bar until the battery will be empty. 

And also there is no timer in Battery Usage like in 4.4.4 that shows the time the device is on battery, it only shows an estimated time until the battery is empty. I don't like any kinds of estimation regarding the battery because are only estimations and are many variables that can change that estimation..

There isn't, you might have to download a third party battery graph app, keep in mind that doing so will drain your battery even faster.

Unfortunately, there is no way to turn off the estimation feature. Currently, the only way to see how long the phone has been on battery is to perform the following steps :-
1. Go to Settings, tap on Power Management
2. Under power management, tap on battery usage
3. Under battery usage, tap on any app (e.g. Chrome, etc), then tap on a button called Report
4. Now, tap on a button called Preview, found on the bottom center of your screen. Then, scroll down to a heading called Duration, that should show you how long your phone has been on battery power

I know these steps are kinda long and irritating, but as uliwooly said, third party apps are known to cause more battery drain.

P.S:- Don't forget to leave a Kudos if this helped

Thx for the answer.

Glad there is a workaround for this. But i don't understand what is the logic here.. It suppose to be better not worse. If i have a estimated battery life of 2 days and the graph displays the whole tow days then the resolution of the graph becomes so low that you don\t understand nothing in it. I liked the time on battery timer displayed in battery usage rather than an estimation until the battery becomes empty, I don't care about that estimation,I know my usage habits and I make my own estimation with a better precision...
