However the article has proved to be very interesting and does answer few other questions. But nothing related to technical details behind battery calibration :( | |

Battery indication has nothing to do with the batterystats.bin, battery stats bin is used only for indicating the battery use... Refer here developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/… | |
| Jan 29, 2014 at 9:10 | comment | added | reubenjohn | I do not understand! If the stats are deleted, then how can i trust that if I charge it to 100% that it is actually the upper limit of my battery (since the stats are deleted, android is showing a false indication of my battery!) Moreover, you still haven't said where it is storing the new information! Just that batterystats.bin does not! I was expecting a detailed explanation of its working! Please be more technical! | |

Remember u will be asked to calibrate once reaches 100 percent, and u will be asked to drain it to 0%.. The statistics are collected from scratch.. In that way u will have proper battery indication (think updated apps may consume less battery) | |
| Jan 29, 2014 at 8:52 | comment | added | reubenjohn | Understood (I have read his post earlier) batterystats.bin is not responsible for determining the current battery % but what is and how does it work? -(clarification: my question has nothing to do with how the per app battery statistics are produced) | |
