BBS Reloaded

BetterBatteryStats — Reloaded is a clean rewrite of BetterBatteryStats for Android 14+ (API 34+).

It shows you what's draining your battery between charges — kernel wakelocks, partial wakelocks, alarms, sensors, network usage, processes, and per-app power consumption — so you can identify and fix the culprits.

Installation

BBS Reloaded is distributed as a signed APK. Install it via ADB:

adb install bbs-reloaded-v*.apk

Grant Required Permissions

BBS Reloaded needs four system-level permissions that must be granted via ADB (they cannot be granted through the normal Android dialog). Connect your device via USB and run:

adb shell pm grant com.asksven.bbsreloaded android.permission.BATTERY_STATS adb shell pm grant com.asksven.bbsreloaded android.permission.DUMP adb shell pm grant com.asksven.bbsreloaded android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS adb shell pm grant com.asksven.bbsreloaded android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS

Or as a one-liner:

for perm in BATTERY_STATS DUMP PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS; do adb shell pm grant com.asksven.bbsreloaded android.permission.$perm done

Note: Permissions persist across app updates — you only need to grant them once per device. They are reset if the app is uninstalled and reinstalled.

Requirements

- Android 14 or later (API 34+) - ADB access to grant system permissions (see above)

Upgrading from BetterBatteryStats

BBS Reloaded uses a new package name (com.asksven.bbsreloaded). There is no automatic upgrade path from the old BetterBatteryStats app. You must:

1. Uninstall the old BetterBatteryStats edition 2. Install BBS Reloaded 3. Grant the ADB permissions listed above
