How to reset my battery stats?

[droidzer1]

Wiping battery stats in no, way, shape, or form affects battery indication. Please do some fact-checking regarding the subject matter at hand rather than perpetuating gross misinformation. The notion that wiping battery stats does anything even remotely useful was clearly and concisely debunked long ago.

The only actual valid posts in this thread have been from mr_clean5953, WastedJoker, and zelendel.The OP itself is riddled with misinformation and following the piss-poor advice given therein will shorten your battry's life.

The same holds true for the advice for 4-6 deep discharge cycles prior to first use. It is totally unnecessary and contrary to what was stated, is not recommended by manufacturers of lithium-based batteries. The individual posting that may have been confused by the fact that it is a recommended practice for nickel-based batteries. Li-ion and lithium polymer batteries see no benefit from "priming" prior to first use. The singular effect of following that misguided advice is a shortened serviceable life of the battery.

I'm pretty well versed in Li-Ion batteries and am glad you posted the above info. I fully agree on all points above and any suggestions of running a Lithium Ion all the way down will only shorten it's life.

I know this is an old thread but just found a recent post here in another subforum about clearing battery stats as I'm having some weirdness with one Galaxy and it's batteries. I guess it can't hurt to at least just clear the battery stats without doing any of the other stuff?

delete the stats in setings/battery then at right corner an icon

Hello,
I am stuck in with some issue here.

I am using karbonn A1+ (2.3.6version)
I used the calibration app.
It said "calibration done"

But now after fully discharging my phone don't recognize any charger, nor my battery is charging?

Tried many times.
What to do now??

While battery is charging via battery charger still...

im having a problem as it seems my phone doesnt know what level the batter at.
phone is samsung galaxy exhibit running 4.4.4
before that I had 5.1.1
and stock rom is 4.2.1 or was it 4.1.2. cant remember.

anyway I had to flash back to the 4.4.4 due a system crash problem related to an app.

and I do a full complete wipe so there is nothing left.

now when ever I reboot the phone it. says what ever it wants to say about the battery level.

I charge it and it says it charged at 97% but I wait and it goes to 100%

then I reboot and it sometimes says 30% or 60%

and now I been trying to drain the battery and phones been at 2% for two hours.

wtf is going on....

Im going to have to leave my phone running all day without charge to try and drain the battery.

its actually been awhile sense the phone died.

People who say deleting battery stats don't change anything, should look for some facts.

Let's say, I have new phone and battery quickly goes down to 1% and what a mircle(!) - the phone is still working at full power and screen on for a few hours and more.

Deleting battery stats for sure doesn't extend phone on time, BUT it can help calibrate your battery properly so that remaining % is displayed more accurately!

How about the facts that come directly from Google engineers? Who have said it is completely pointless and useless.

So where are Google engineers now?

Ok so after a bit of playing around I have seamed to rid of the battery cut off at 15% - 20% and so on.
As I done the battery reclab I noticed when I drained the battery the phone would turn off then I'd restart the phone it would boot alittle then shut off. Then I'd plug it in and the display would be an instant % around 5% -10% -15% . So from that I noticed the battery was not discharged to 0%.

What I did was boot into recovery and keept the screen on for as long as it needed till the battery really died and the screen turned off. I was surprised how much battery was left. Depending on your battery?. It took me around 30min to die.

After that I then plugged it in to do a full charge with phone off.
Let battery die again boot back to recovery and keep screen on Antill screen shutoff.
Do full charge again.
Antill you see your battery shut off at normal 0%.
I did this twice. You may need to do it more depending on your battery state.

Give it a go. Who knows it may work for you.
Good luck

Hi all,
My Jiayu S3+ has a problem not charging battery to 100% as usually but to 91-92%.
I changed the battery to a newer one (offered by a friend) and now full charge reaches only 83% .

What can I do to solve the problem?

I'll just say again that fully discharging a Li-ion battery is not good and will shorten it's life. Totally the opposite of NiCad and NiMH batteries which are a completely different chemistry. Google Battery University and learn a few things there about Li-Ion. Regarding the battery percentage readings I am not sure why they get so far off on some phones but forget the percentage stuff and look at the actual battery voltage (many apps will show accurate voltage out to 3 decimal points). If your voltage is at or near 4.395 volts your battery is fully charged. At least this is valid for most Samsung phones - your mileage may vary with other phones which my use a Li-Ion battery with slightly different chemistry. Charge level of Li-Ion batteries is very closely related to their voltage reading unlike Ni-Mh which can have a near full voltage reading while only being charged 5 to 10 percent.

This method is EXTREMELY dangerous, especially if you keep repeating it. This method will damage your battery and you will make it even worse than at the beggining.

Use this method instead:

1. Root your device;
2. Download "Battery Calibration" app from Google Play;
3. Download "ES File Explorer File Manager" app too from Google Play;
4. Charge your device to full;
5. Open "Battery Calibration" app and use premium option to calibrate ( You will have to watch an ad );
6. Wait for it to calibrate and then open ES File Explorer File Manager;
7. Press a button at the top left corner of the app;
8. Find "Root Explorer" and "Show Hidden Files" features and enable them ( At Root Explorer, if it asks you to Allow or Deny the permission, allow it );
9. Press a button next to the Home button in the program. Some folders should show up;
10. Press Slash above the folders and search for "batterystats.bin".
11. Delete the file and restart your device.

This is a method that can't damage your battery.

What do I do when I cannot charge my battery up to more than 5% ?!

Can I just root and delete batterystats.bin nonetheless? Or will this end in a disaster?

I need my smartphone for work and highly depend on it. Please help.

my Motorola Edge 20 pro is draining really fast, but when it switches off at 0% and I turn it back on, it still shows 30% or somewhat remaining.
I tried battery calibration, either the calibration didn't work, or it's a hardware issue?
