The battery API exposed to app devs is meant to keep them mindful of battery usage in their apps to better use features wisely based on device power. I think Android OS and the device settings coupled with learning which features use power and finding optimal settings is your best bet for long battery life. | |

Thanks for the advice, it's fairly uncommon to find people who are helpful instead of trolling when it comes to questions like this. | |

| Nov 9, 2015 at 5:54 | comment | added | Ryan Steele | I also noticed that the developer had changed the title of the app from "Battery Life Repair" to "Repair Battery Life", which, to me, raises another big red flag. Yet, I still cannot deny that this seems to work to some degree. I've tried using CPU-intensive apps to see the difference in battle life after this puts a band-aid on my charging woes, and it's significant. But after a week or so, I find I have to use it again. Even finding one "bad cell" makes a huge difference. Or seems to. I know I sound like an idiot, so I'm going to run a little test... I'm removing this app, and the next time | |
