Hi,
449 mA is the max current for USB charging connected to a PC. If you read the value when charging with a wall plug you will get a higher value (probably around 700 mA but it is depending on the charger and the PMIC).

Android being open source Chintan should be able to track down the
source of the number by perusing the sources.
Its probably possible to make an instrumented dummy battery for
research purposes, though it would requure figuring out the interface.

Chintan
Just wondering how is the phone able to measure the charging current
and not able to measure the discharge current.
For now I am planning to connect an external resistor and measure the
discharge current. I think that's the way to only way to get the
current values.
Thanks for your inputs.
