Better Battery Stats: Why is my Android device consuming battery?

En Todoandroid, we have talked to you about how to save battery on our android devices, but many times we do not know what is the main cause of why it consumes battery on our Android mobile or tablet.

The Android system has its own battery consumption graph, but it does not provide enough information since sometimes some of them are missing wakelocks. Luckily, an expert user has created an app to find out what is the reason for the decrease in the autonomy of our device, the application is called Better Battery Stats and then we will show you the tools it has to show the real statistics.

What is wakelocks?

Before we must know that Android consists of 3 main states: The first is defined when the device is awake with the screen on, normally it is when we use the terminal or tablet. The other is when you are awake with the screen off, this is when the smartphone is waiting to be used, minimum consumption for being with the screen off, since this is the one that consumes the most energy on a day-to-day basis.

Finally, when our device is asleep, that is, the battery consumption is minimal, but some apps need to execute tasks in the background, such as playing music with the screen off, synchronizing apps to receive emails, text messages , among others. For all this, the phone or tablet uses the Partial Wakelocks, This prevents the device from entering Deep Sleep causing excessive battery drain.

Now that we know this term, let's get to know the application. Better Battery Stats We can download it through the link at the end of this article.

Meanwhile we can use it normally. When we suspect that our Android device is consuming more battery than normal, we access the app and see the energy consumption statistics.
