#License
Better Battery Stats provides more in-depth battery statistics for your Android device. It can be used to find applications that cause battery drain.

It can be used without root, though it needs special permissions. With root access those permissions can be granted automatically. Without root access, the permissions can still be granted using the `adb` tool on a laptop or desktop computer:

```
adb -d shell pm grant com.asksven.betterbatterystats android.permission.BATTERY_STATS
adb -d shell pm grant com.asksven.betterbatterystats android.permission.DUMP
adb -d shell pm grant com.asksven.betterbatterystats android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS
adb -d shell settings put global hidden_api_policy 1
```
