Hi all,
Heard from someone that if you put matte finish screen protectector to your Smartphone it will drain battery faster than the normal? has anyone heard of it how far its true.... just a curiosity
Hi!
I've never heard such a thing. I even searched and found nothing. And I can't imagine how it can affect battery life.
We usually are here to point the way to users, but I'm afraid I have nothing I can point you to.
If you want to pursue the question, you could ask in the general section however....

Howdy, y'all; trying to find information about my Monster M7 tablet.
I bought it last December when Walmart offered it for $100. Sounded like a good deal, considering the brand.
Like many others who bought one, my M7 has been problematic. After installing the latest firmware update from Monster (at the mymonstertablet.com/faq page), I'm now able to use all 16GB of installed memory (less that required by the O/S). OK; some progress.
After having purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (8" screen; I like it) lately for about the same price as the M7, I'll only use the M7 as a Chromecast controller, an OBD-II code reader, and to test EPUB docs that I develop. And maybe coupla apps before I completely forget how to build Java code.
However, until I solve the battery problem, it's mostly unusable. Even though the battery indicator shows fully charged, the M7 boots but only runs for coupla minutes before it quits. It runs correctly if a power adapter is connected to the microUSB socket.
I've read about /data/system/batterystats.bin, but this post indicates that deleting the file won't have the effect that some Android users think:

Where should I post about this Monster M7 problem?
Thanks much.
Please note, if Battery continues to give trouble, deleting BatteryStats will not help. you have a defective battery.

Thanks much for your reply. I'll repost at "Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting." I've filed a warranty claim with Monster. No response yet.
Hi people!
This is my first thread here on the community, so feel free to tell what i did wrong =)
A couples of weeks i bought a LG G Pad 8.0 (Yeah i should have go for the 8.3 but here on Chile wasn't on stock)
The thing is that everything was fine ... i read all the books i was able to, and played a lot of HearthStone :')
Then i started to get into the Root stuff so i did it with Towel Root
I downloaded the APP did the whole thing and everything was done right (At least what i was able to see)
just a week after the root process, the battery (Or at least the Stats) started to get weird...
The main problem is that whenever i restart the device, even if i let it charging all the night and shows that it is at 100% of his capacity. when boot shows that it haves less than 20%!!
The thing was just telling me that the battery was complete and with a single reboot it losses all his charge?! C'mon! :'/
By my research this has two possibilities:
Hardware Problems or the BatteryStats.Bin get corrupted.
The first one is just ... well not quite possible ... i mean, if it is a "Technical" problem, What was the cause? Why now? ... i can't open the tablet to see the battery but it doesn't have problems with the temperature.
And the BatteryStats stuff... well .... the most "Common" solution is to download the app "Battery Calibration" and just follow the instruction ... well i did it ... Twice! Plus some "Tips" from guys on the internet (Notice the " " )
but it doesn't seem to be working =( ... the main problem is still on my device ... whenever i reboot BOOM! Out of battery! :/ ..... This was what i did:
-Discharge the device until it turns off automatically, turn it on, charge it with out break until 4200 mv (I do it for more than 12 hours but it never send any notification about been fully charged) press the button, unplug my phone and then leave it there with a Super Smash bros match with four player to fully discharge it ... did i did anything wrong? ... i don't think so :/ after the whole process i rebooted the device and it was the same ....
Is there anything that i am missing here?
I've heard about a "Manual" method that consist on fully charge the device then with root explorer delete the bin file and let it discharge ... is that okay? ... Other method is to use the "Wipe BatteryStats" on recovery mode but i do not have that option here.
Well ... what can i do? :crying: Is there any problem with some software? How can i now it? How i can upload a inform about my device so you guys can ses what's wrong? pls help me! T-T LG doesn't have anything on my country and i rooted the phone so warranty went to hell T-T Pls guys! Anything is welcome! T-T
Not Natural English Speaker!! Sorry for any error ... i did my best without google translate! xD

Batteries and thier cells
If you imagine a square, then split it up into smaller squares (like a spreadsheet)
now forget that, do it with a cube, with equal sized smaller cubes inside, thats sort of like the inside of a battery.
Each box can have a maximum number of Ions inside and as they flow through your phone they change from - to + (they have been used)
this means they also must go back into the battery.
One large problem with them is overcharging and undercharging, where you could (this is only a way to think about it) leave it empty meaning the walls would corrode(think of it as drying out) or overcharge (compressing them, making larger forces on the walls causing them to rupture)
Over time this happens in small amounts and so batteries have a like (some thousand or whatever) Maximum recharges
There is also a chain effect where if some cells split, ones next to it can also split. This could have happened in yours and my advice would be get another battery
BTW all of this is just a way of thinking, I cant remember all the technical terms and do not use them incase i confuse the hell out of people
Before doing this if you like try delete the batterystats.bin (i have done it before, it just made another)

I had the problem where my old S2 would randomly overheat and reboot, upon reboot it would be at least %40 less, new battery fixed it
If you cant open your tablet, youtube [tabletname] dissassembly,Its quite hard to do but if its broken already
All just advice
Thread closed, thank you.
Hey guys,
I use ZTE Blade Q for almost 2 years. No complaining at all
but for 3 weeks my phone is not charging properly. Sometimes it charges for an hour and is 100% charged, and sometimes i put it at 20% and in a couple of hours is not even charged - its 6%.
I dont know, maybe the battery is f*cked up or maybe the charger i really dont know. I'm going to buy new one in December but still.. can you help me solve the problem? Because if i have to buy new battery it will take the good 2weeks to come.
Thanks!

The htc m9 has been "living" with me for almost a week now and I have a few noticeable problems. First of all, the charging time does take a significant time. Like a whooping 6 hours or a bit more. Well, that's a bit too much. Changed charger and socket still the same. Haven't tried the original charger yet. Planning on to. The firmware is the 2.10.something.something. and the other thing is a small thing that kinda bugs me. The charging estimate time doesnt appear. Any way to make it appear?

I have an Acer Z200 smartphone and recently it is pretty much dead.
It started out with having charging problems (I would try and charge it but the battery just kept draining).
I have tried looking for a solution online, and I found out that many other owners of this smartphone have had the same charging problems but there really isn't a solution.
I think the most likely cause of this may be the battery died; but I also have some doubt in that because I have had past smartphones where the battery stopped working and you could usually see that the battery inflated a bit in size. With the Acer phone, the battery looks in pristine condition (although, that still doesn't mean that the battery isn't the cause of course).
If anyone has a solution to this, please reply ASAP.
Thanks.
