This is my first question and I think it will be hard to answer :)

My question is

Does anyone know how much consumed in mAh Bluetooth on Android?

I know it depends on the device, but I need a approximate value without much detail

Thank you very much to all

  • More than is consumed without bluetooth in use =). For serious though, this is too broad and is nearly unanswerable. There are various battery statistic applications on the market. Grab some of them and and test on a device. However be aware that there are so many variables that go into how much power is being consumed at a given time that you are going to need a very large sample size to get much meaningful info. – FoamyGuy Mar 22 '12 at 13:24
  • In this link http://knol.google.com/k/android-programando-para-la-vida-de-la-batería# Shows the approximate energy consumption of the main funcionalies the device. I know these values ​​can be uncertain and not very detailed but only need an approximate value to begin to study and have a starting value. To get an idea ... – sleiva112 Mar 22 '12 at 13:55

You can check the power_profile.xml file on your device. The value inside is set by the manufacture as reference. You can use Power Profile Application in Google Play to see the value.

Please check this research paper. It probably won't tell you in mAh but you might be able to approximate it. I assume they are uploading and downloading until the battery reaches ~0. So if they give the model of the phone and it's batter capacity you can figure that out.

  • In the paper they only measure battery consumption when the data is downloaded/uploaded at maximum speed possible. That's only one particular use case. There are many cases when data rate is much lower. Not very useful... – Oliv Jun 02 '16 at 20:07
  • I would argue that it is useful because it will tell you the amount of energy consumed at the highest rate. This could be used for a baseline minimum capacity. Do another study on idle and you now have a range. It will never be exact unless you test the operating conditions you intend on operating under. – tricknology Jun 20 '16 at 09:25
