[Q] Does this battery app does something that really works? its method seems fishy.

Hello all

I got word from a friend that this app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.BoshBashStudios.batterydoctorrepair ) worked for him. I tried it, and it claims to "reactivate" the battery cells so they work again.

I know Li-ion batteries have cells, but is there really a way for a Java-made app to access them and alter them so easily? seems like a scam to me, but I wanted to ask because who knows, it could be similar to what the fstrim command does and such. You know, to ask the experts.

Any comments are welcome

I tried the app and so far the battery life seems the same for me maybe because I only had 2 inactive cells but idk it may or may not help and white activating the cells the battery drains a bit too so don't really know if its working or not

This app is pure baloney, you can't programmatically improve battery life without disabling services, quitting apps, underclocking, undervolting, or disabling hardware. When I first got the app, it said there were problems with the battery and then it fixed them. It never said there were any problems again after that. But Then.... I had to factory reset my phone a couple of times and every time I factory resetter my phone ,the app says there is a problem with the battery. But it never said again there was a problem until I had to do the restore again. So obviously this app only says there is problems with your battery if it thinks you have been using this app for the first time. So obviously a gimmick app for the gullible. I would uninstall it and give it a 1 star on Google Play.
