One of the biggest concerns for smartphone users is the phone's battery which several techniques and useful tips were offered for preventing battery drain issues. If ever consumers noticed that the battery performance and duration of his/her smartphone decreased, well it's time to calibrate the battery.

Consumers must need to identify why their battery performance decreased; whether it is the Android system's calibration or the battery itself, as noted by Verizon Wireless. If ever your phone has a removable battery cover, just simply turn off your phone, remove the cover and inspect the battery; look for leaks and bulges.

According to Android Pit, Android operating system has a feature called Battery Stats that keeps track of battery capacity when it is empty or full. Some other phones become corrupted and start displaying details that aren't real which cause the phone to turn off before it reaches 0 percent. As for calibrating you Android battery, this means getting the Android OS to correct information to be reflective by your actual battery levels once again. Consumers must know the importance of the calibration in their phone batteries which lithium-ion batteries include a printed circuit board (PCB) that serves as the protection switch to stop them exploding by deep charging.

Fully charge and Discharge in one of the simplest ways to recalibrate your Android battery. But if ever your battery is causing you real problems and issue, well here are some ways on how to calibrate your battery without using root access. First, discharge the phone fully until it turns itself off. Then turn it on again and let it turn it off. Next thing to do is that plug your phone into a charger without turning it on, let it charge fully until the on-screen LED indicator states 100 percent. After that, turn on the device; if ever that the battery indicator doesn't state 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it reaches 100 percent again.

If the screen clocks at 100 percent, unplug the device and restart it. Repeat the cycle until it states 100 percent. If it reaches again to 100 percent, let the battery discharge all the way down to zero percent that let your phone turn off automatically. Finally, charge the phone until it reaches 100 percent again without any interruption and reset the Android system's battery percentage. It must be noted that it's not recommended to perform this process regularly to avoid system damage; perform this method once every three months.
