Code:
V   Y  Pixels  HP   C
100 04 11     100 #008400h Bright Green
 80 06 09      75 #008400h Bright Green
 60 08 07      50 #008400h Bright Green
 30 11 05      25 #EFCE29h Yellow

If you want to return the "official" HP percentage values, why don't you simply calculate V accordingly?

V = 25 * int(6 – 0,4*Y)

Or, if the last value in the "pixels" column really is 5 and not 4:

V = 25 * int(0,38*pixels)
(If it's actually 4 pixels instead of 5, replace 0,38 with 0,4)

Edit: I see you just edited your post and changed the values in the V and "Pixels" column.
With the new values it's now...

V = 25 * int(6 – 0,4*Y)
resp.
V = 25 * int(0,4*pixels)

Code boxes are fine. You can avoid the first blank line by beginning directly (!) after the "code" tag, i.e. not one line below.

RE: I have a way to measure battery power
I edited that post several times as I got some of the values wrong and I was trying to figure out how to format it....
Like I said before..no point in commenting on the code of my routine as it's just a rough test thingy I whipped out while I wait until the power goes down.....i'll rewrite it completely when i get all the info I need and the power switches it off.

RE: I have a way to measure battery power
Here is the latest table of results down to shutdown....

Code:
V   Y  Pixels  HP   C
100 04 11     100 #008400h Bright Green
 80 07 08      75 #008400h Bright Green
 60 09 06      50 #008400h Bright Green
 30 12 03      25 #EFCE29h Yellow
 00 15 00      00 #D6DEDE White

I have new code....I'm charging up my battery to test it now, and then I'll post it.
It'll give results from the HP column.
Note that it stays at 0 for a while before giving a popup message: Critical Low Battery...
There is another low battery message too, depending on what you are doing when it kicks in. However, the battery stays at zero for a little bit before popping up the messages.
Then, after a little bit, the power cuts off on it's own.

Until then, it continues to display the previous status.

So it may not be possible to program a "beep" if the charging lead is accidentally disconnected, or monitor the mains supply.

Detail: plug/unplug the lead - Prime display doesnt change (Android battery status does).
Tap the screen once - display updates charging/discharging status.
Triple-tapping the screen (Android optional accessibility screen zoom): charging status doesnt update.

The no-update affects the charging/discharging indication - I don't know yet whether it also affects the charge percentage.

Android 5.0.2
LG G3 s.

As no one has commented on this, I wonder...
Is this "feature" common on Androids (and perhaps elsewhere), or something unusual about my Android/phone?
