BetterBatteryStatsRelease Notes

What you should know about references

BetterBatteryStats does not collect data in the background but uses references saved at specific times (on specific events):

  • Boot: is saved when your phone boots, deletes all other refrences
  • Unplug: is saved when you unplug your phone from the charger
  • Charged: is saved when your phone gets charged to 100%
  • Screen Off: is saved when the screen of your phone goes off
  • Custom: is saved when you select the option to save a custom reference from the menu


As long as those events did not occur or after a reboot BBS will notify you about a missing reference. This is not a bug, it's the way BBS was designed
