Default [OFFICIAL] Your mind BLOWN! (wipe battery stats useless)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1443368

Edit:

Apparently the above thread is no longer there : s

Essentially the thread talked about how a developer from Google explained that the file being wiped when you select "wipe battery stats" does just that. It only keeps track of what applications are consuming battery and gives you those statistics you see in the information menu. The file has nothing to do with charge levels and calibration. Therefore there is no reason to wipe this file at all, unless you need to have a current battery drain chart. There is no such thing as battery calibration no matter how much that $3.99 battery app tells you there is.
