What you should know about references
BetterBatteryStats does not collect data in the background but uses references saved at specific times (on specific events):
- Boot: is saved when your phone boots, deletes all other refrences
- Unplug: is saved when you unplug your phone from the charger
- Charged: is saved when your phone gets charged to 100%
- Screen Off: is saved when the screen of your phone goes off
- Custom: is saved when you select the option to save a custom reference from the menu
As long as those events did not occur or after a reboot BBS will notify you about a missing reference. This is not a bug, it's the way BBS was designed
Kitkat users
Google has made changes to Kitkat that affect the way BBS works and some major changes needed to be made to adapt:- If your device is not rooted you will have no access to Partial Wakelocks anymore
- If your device is rooted make sure to enable the advanced root features access all features (with some workarounds)
- BBS can now be installed as a system app (advanced preferences). This does not affect updatability and provides you the full feature set (no workarounds) on Kitkat
