Script to Delete Battery Stats

[Adrynalyne]

I've been told that clockwork isnt currently working to do this, so...

Install via clockwork.

Now you can run it via adb, OR terminal emulator in Android. Keep in mind it requires superuser permissions.

thanks man, with all the reports that cwm wipe battery stats not working, this will come in handy!

 

[therent]

I will be trying this tonight !!

Thanks !!!!

 

[therent]

Hmmm, i should have asked this in my reply above. how do i run this from terminal emulator?

 

[Adrynalyne]

type su

then run bstats

 

[therent]

Charged up to 100 percent.

Installed via red cwm, ran it in terminal emulator. quick and painless.

Now to drain the life outta this thing.

 

[tnez21]

Sweet! gonna try this as soon as I get my phone charged.

I haven't been able to wipe in blue, Green or RED CWM I get the same error message.
E:can't mount /dev/block0p1

After 3 full drain/Charge cycles in a row Using Tuneinradio full volume, GPS, WIFI and the screen flash light to drain the Battery my battery seems to function on DL30 as it did on Dl09 now.

I will give this script a try anyway though because I have noticed the "unplug charger" warning seems to cycle a tad faster when I leave it plugged in at night. This may indicate that the battery IS draining a little faster or there's a voltage reading error.

This is not a complaint. In fact i love doing all this mod/flashing.

When i installed the .zip in odin then rebooted i got the nasty FC errors none stop.

Im running 2.4 SC voodoo. I had the am/pm removal mod and ran Chris3D's batt mod script to get his cool batt charger icons to work on 2.4. Those two thing were done prier to trying your .zip.

Just wondering if anyone else has had the issue.

 

[clifto]

Well I did a fresh install of 2.4 SC-V tried the battstatwipe zip and it worked great this time. I then installed the no am/pm mod, after that ran Chris3D's batt mod script and everything is running smooth this go around.

I downloaded the file bstats. zip to the root of the sd card.

I used Red (CWM voodoo Lagfix Recovery v.2.5.1.x update > choose zip file option. It said bstat.zip was loaded successfully to phone.

I rebooted with CWM and opened Connectbot, entered command SU to get root prompt typed bstat, and got "file not found" I looked in root (/) and file was not there.
I went back into CWM red and still got the error:
E:can't mount /dev/block0p1
then tried cd / then "ls"
the file bstat.zip does not show file in root directory of phone" It is not in cd /system. either. I am confused.
I guess I will try the "mv" command to move the file "bstat.zip" to the phone.

Question does the file belong in the root (/) of the phone?
Question 2 Can you use the mv command in android or do I have to use the rename command.
I do have root explorer but I am trying to re-learn command line from my Linux days.

Running this zip simply clears the battery stats. It won't load an app or anything like that

Thanks Kevin, as much as I like Flashing, theming, romming and playing with my new toy this was beginning to not be fun anymore. Thanks again for the help, I will cycle the battery a couple of times now and see how it works.

Adrynalyne saves the day.... again!

With these smart batteries is it really necessary to drain down to 5% before doing a full recharge and wiping or vice versa?

Question. So is CW definitely not clearing batt stats? or is this for people getting some kind of error? I know when I clear batt stats in clockwork, it's pretty quick but not instant as if it cleared nothing... i guess it doesn't hurt to use this later. Just curious.

Is that right? OP says to install in CW and that THEN you can run it CW or Terminal.

For Terminal (I used android terminal emulator from the market)
1. after installing bstats.zip in CW boot phone back up
2. open terminal emulator, press menu button, then preferences
3. scroll down to "shell" and changed initial command to read
"export PATH=/system/xbin: $PATH
4. press back button, Terminal will close, reopen terminal
5. type "su" hit return, grant su when promt pops up
6. type "bstats" and hit return
7. phone will reboot.

I dont know if any of the above is correct but both worked for me.

 

[Adrynalyne]

The original post had a typo. It needs to be run via adb.

it was doing the same for me but something was telling me that it wasnt wiping because whenever i charged to 100% as soon as would unplug from the charger my batt would drop to 97/96%. this happened no matter how many times I wiped batt stats in CW. after running this script I unplugged from charger and batt stats stayed at 100%....so I'm guessing it works.

I am one of those getting the error in CWM red. When I wipe battery stats I get this error:
E:can't mount /dev/block0p1
I loaded adrynalyne's script and used the terminal method. Now my phone reboots after giving the bstats command so I guess its working.

Ok, so you definitely had some issue with your battery stats it sounds like. I'm gonna try it later when I get home to see if there's any difference, but my battery life seemed to be alright ever since EB01... DL30 i could barely get it to last the day. I've been on low to moderate use today since 9AM and my battery's sitting at 58%, so i'd say this is pretty good... someone correct me if this sounds really off.
