battery callibration

Battery backup is one of the biggest problem in Android devices. Even though Google have added some new battery tweaks in Android Kitkat which makes it last longer than usual but still it's not at its best phase. On an average battery backup of android devices is around 8 hours. But if you have noticed a sudden decrease in your battery performance like the battery is draining too fast or your phone switch off automatically at 5-6% battery level (and shows 0% when you turn it on) then its the right time for you to calibrate your device's battery.


Battery Calibration
What Does Battery Calibration Means?
In all android device there is a file names 'batterystats.bin' which saves the battery information. When you charge your phone multiple times daily, when the battery is not even half empty, this file become corrupted and shows wrong battery stats, which causes the phone to switch off before it reaches 0%. The process of repairing this corrupted file is known as calibration.
How often should You calibrate Battery? You should calibrate your battery every week. You should calibrate battery even if you are not having any kind of problem with battery to keep battery state healthy.
How to Calibrate Battery: Method 1: (For Users Without Root Access)
This method will work for both Rooted and Unrooted devices.
Plug In your phone to the charger and charge it to 100% while the phone is on.

Unplug your charger, switch off your phone and charge it again to 100%. [The Green LED indicator will blink when it is done]

Now turn your phone on and see battery level. Charge it again to 100%.

Now go to Settings > Display and change screen timeout to its maximum limit so that your screen doesn't turn off.

Wait till your phone reaches 0% (turn off) by itself.
Tip: Don't use your phone at this time.

Now charge your phone back to 100% and should start working properly.

Now your device's battery is successfully calibrated and you can put the screen timeout setting back to normal.
Method 2: (For Users with Root Access)

Download and Install the app named 'Battery Calibration' from Play Store. (Available for Free)

Plug in your phone to the charger.

Wait till it charges 100% (Recommended)

Open the App and Tap on 'Battery Calibration' button.



Unplug your phone.

[Optional but Recommended] Let your phone fully discharge to 0% after calibration and then charge to 100% without any break (means not using your phone during this time).

This will successfully calibrate your Android device's battery.
That's It. Your device's battery will now work properly if not then there are chances that your battery is damaged and you should buy a new battery for your device.

As the music begins to play, a soft breeze fills the space with the undeniable smell of magnolia blossoms. She gracefully enters and begins a “tree pose” with her hands in Namaste form. Our female figure is inspired by the Indian culture for its gorgeous use of color and the grace of its yoga formations. I hope you’ll enjoy the journey as we retrace, step by step to enlightenment.  1. Becoming Flesh and Blood Step 1 Our first step will be to bring in our sketch. I've scanned her in at 300 dpi to catch as much of the detail as possible. I'm not as picky about my choice of initial drawing tools, and this particular project was completed with a mechanical pencil. We'll be working with a clean line quality from Adobe Photoshop and now we can begin to work. I'm working in Adobe Illustrator at a size of 8.5 x 11 inches for this specific project. When I'm ready to start my layers, I'll label my first layer as "Sketch" and lock the layer to make su...
