How To Calibrate Android Device Battery Stats Root No Root

What this procedure achieves is to rest the battery stats file so your battery should now be calibrated.
Battery problems are among the biggest concerns for smartphone users, which is why we offer so many useful tips for solving battery drain issues. If you notice that your battery performance and duration has decreased, it could be time to calibrate your battery. Today well explain what battery calibration is, how to tell if you need to do it and how to do it, with or without root access. 

The Android operating system has a feature called Battery Stats, which keeps track of battery capacity, when it is full or empty. The problem is that it sometimes becomes corrupted and starts displaying data that isn’t real, which, for example, causes the phone to turn off before it reaches 0 percent. Calibrating your Android battery simply means getting the Android OS to correct this information so it is reflective of your actual battery levels once again. 




How to calibrate an Android device battery without root access

The old fully charge and discharge approach stands as one of the simplest ways to recalibrate your Android battery. Weve warned you in the past about low voltage problems in lithium batteries and the negative impacts of fully draining a battery on its lifespan and the same holds true here. But if your phone battery is causing you real problems, its worth taking the risk.

Just follow the steps below:


  • Let your phone discharge until it goes off due to low battery.


  • Charger your battery until it reach 100%. Do not turn on your device while charging!.

  • Unplug your charger and turn your phone on.

  • Leave it lying for 30 minutes then charge it again for an hour. Dont use your device while it is plugged in.

  • Unplug your device and use normally until the battery is completely drained again.

  • Then charge it to 100% again.

How to calibrate Android device battery with root access

Even though Im not convinced that clearing the batterystats.bin file has any meaningful effect on how the Android system reports remaining battery charge, there are those who swear by this method.

So in the interests of fairness, weve included the process for you here (it is true that different manufacturers use the batterystats.bin file for different things). Its basically the same process as above but with the added step of a root-enabled app.

1. Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.

2. Turn it on and let it turn off again.

3. Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.

4. Unplug your charger.

5. Turn your phone on. Its likely that the battery indicator wont say 100 percent, so plug the charger back in (leave your phone on) and continue charging until it says 100 percent on the screen as well.

6. Unplug your phone and restart it. If it doesnt say 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.

7. You want to repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think its going to get) when you start it up without being plugged in.

8. Now, install the Battery Calibration app and, before you launch it, make sure your battery is at 100 percent again, then restart.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&referrer=utm_source%3DAndroidPIT%26utm_medium%3DAndroidPIT%26utm_campaign%3DAndroidPIT


9. Immediately launch the app and recalibrate your battery.

10. Once youve calibrated your battery, discharge it all the way down to 0 percent and let your phone turn off again.

11. Fully charge the battery one more time without interruption while its switched off, and the Android systems battery percentage will be reset.



Remember that it is not recommended to perform this process all the time. Even when your battery is so dead your phone wont even turn on, your battery still has enough reserve charge to avoid system damage. But you dont want to poke the tiger with a stick. Perform this process once every three months at the most. If it is required more often than that you have bigger problems at hand.

Smartphone battery myths

Lithium-ion batteries dont have a memory so theres not much you need to do to keep them running as they should. The problem lies with how the Android system reads and displays the current capacity of the battery, not the battery itself.

The same goes for the myth that deleting the batterystats.bin file will magically recalibrate your battery. That file (on most devices anyway) simply stores data about what is using the battery when it is not being charged. It is also reset every time a battery is charged to over 80 percent and then disconnected.

The batterystats.bin file contains the info you see made prettier in the Battery section of your phone: its the Android system keeping track of your batterys usage, per charge cycle. When we talk about battery calibration, its the percentage meter that gets out of whack, and that is what we need to fix.



Conclusion:
Put plainly: fully discharging a battery is bad for it. Trying to overload a battery is also bad for it. The good news is that charging batteries automatically shut off when their safe limit is reached and theres always a little in reserve even if your phone wont start. But again: do this only when really necessary, because it does have a negative impact on battery life.

How to easily record screen on Android Lollipop Device

The native screen recording was initially introduced on Android 4.4 KitKat but the functionality required either a rooted device with a Screen Recording app installed or a non-rooted device with some Android Debug Bridge (ADB) commands. Luckily, on Android 5.0 Lollipop, the process is much, much easier, as the new OS version released with a new API that allows developers to build apps that can record screen without the need of root access or any ADB knowhow.

Currently, there are few apps which have taken advantage of the new API and let’s users to record screen on their lollipop smartphones or tablets. If you’re looking for a great screen recording app, then you should give AZ Screen Recorder a try. It’s by far one of the best app to record a video of your Android screen. The best part of this app is that it has no recording time limit and there’s no watermark or logo of the creator will be displayed on your videos.
Moreover, it also allows you to pause and resume while recording. After you install and launch the app, a small toolbar will appear in the middle of your screen. The toolbar contains four different controls like Recording, Settings, File Manager and Exit button. When you start recording for the first time, a few prompts will explain how the recording feature works. You will always be able to access the recording panel in your notification bar. On the recording panel you can pause, stop, and start new recordings.
In the settings, you can enable touches to show up on the screen, enable or disable audio recording, set time limits for recording, as well as change the resolution and bitrate of video captured. The output format will be MP4 file, and you can select the default folder where the file will be saved, although it will automatically appear in your gallery app. The app is completely free to use, but as mentioned above, you need to have Android 5.0 Lollipop installed. If you have a prior version, your best bet is to root your Android device and install a screen recorder app called Shou.TV from Google play store.
