Changelog
BetterBatteryStats v1.6.1.0 apk
#100: fixed “since chanrged” reference to be stored continuously (removed service completely)
#101: removed property to hide “since…” from main screen as this makes screenshots unreadable
#102: changing stat/stat type now refreshes again
-1.5.1 Bugfix
#87: added debugging code, fixes FC in MIUI
#88: graphs not working on all ICS ROMs
#89: alarms sometime hangs due to superuser dialog in the background
-1.5
#62: Dmpfile is now named with timestamp to avoid overwriting
#63: if writing a dumofile fails because of unmounted SD and error is displayed
#64: alarms with upper case names / numbers in the package name were being truncated
#65: the retrieval of the online knowledge base was blocking the refresh of the screen under bad network conditions
#66: alarms were added to dump (if phone rooted)
#67: “Actions” menu was renamed to “More”
#70: references “since unplugged” and “since charged” were added to kernel wakelocks. Please note that the corresponding events (unplug, charge to 100% must occur once for the data to be available)
#34: the whole persistence of sample data (custom reference, since…. for kernel wakelocks) was refactored and persistence of samples is now on private storage (files). There is no ned for preventing the user from leaving BBS with “back” as the data is not in memory
#71: graphs now work in ICS
#72: FC on start when the battery service could not be initalized (typical for MIUI as the service is off be default).
#73: added google analytics for a better tracking of how BBS is used. A warning notifies of that change and offers to opt-out if Google Analytics are not wanted
#74: added “raw” kernel wakelocks to the “more” menu
With BetterBatteryStats you can analyse the behavior of your phone, find applications causing the phone to drain battery while it is supposed to be asleep and measure the effect of corrective actions:
- Spot drainers based on detailed information about the root cause
- measure the effect of actions to reduce drain
- detect changes in the awake/sleep profile and quickly find the causes (rogue apps)
In other words BetterBatteryStats helps you to get the best out of your Android smartphone.
Support:
Please don’t use the market’s feedback system for support. In case of issues or for any question or suggestion please contact me by e-mail or use the contact information from the about box.
Permissions:
- android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is used only for writing dumps to the SD. In case you don’t need that feature please fell free to remoke that permission. It won’t have any side effect besides disabling that feature
- android.permission.BATTERY_STATS is obviously the permission to access the internal statitics and can not be revokes without making the app unusable
BetterBatteryStats is open source so you can inspect/review/ contribute and submit issues or feature requests. Please check the about dialog for further details.
Important note: due to Android’s signing architecture it is not possible to offer a free and a paid app in the same namespace. If you want to support me and buy the app you will need to deinstall the current version (up to 0.8.2 included) prior to buying the app from the market. You can reinstall the xda edition from the link below. That app is absolutely identical with the one from market but lives in its own namespace and allows updates of both version independentely from each other (own settings as well).
