How I reset my Battery Statistics without ROOTING the phone.

All,
You might try this to reset your Battery Usage calculation statistics.  It worked for me and it does NOT ROOT you phone.
To save time do this before you go to bed.
Turn your phone off by holding the on/off button until the phone turns completely off
Remove the battery, the SD card, and the SIM card.
Wait a couple of minutes and reinstall the SiM card, SD card and the battery BUT DO NOT turn the phone back on...Do NOT.
Before you go to bed keep the phone turned off and plug it into the small 110 volt 1 Amp charger that came with the phone and let it charge overnight.
The next morning  DO NOT turn the phone on just unplug the charger and immediately re-plug it back in to further charge the battery.  Every time it says 100% unplug and replug it in.  Do this 3 or 4 or more times.  If you walked away and missed the 100% just unplug it and do it again.
NOTE:  Because the phone is OFF when you plug it in you will first see a gray battery for a few seconds and then a green battery for a minute or two on the display before the screen goes blank (black)..  The battery looks like a standard flashlight battery.  The green battery will say 100% if it is fully charged.  When you see 100% unplug the charger and re plug it in.  The battery charges a little more each time and usually in 3-8 minutes it again says 100%.  Doing this tops off the battery a little bit more each time.  Remember do it 3 or 4 times.
Finally, turn ON your phone and go to Settings>About phone> Battery Use and look at your phones Battery Usage Calculations. They should be reset.  At the top of this screen the amount of time "on the battery" should be a matter of minutes because you just reset the statistics.
The attached screen shot shows my battery usage statistics AFTER I reset them.  If you want to see my battery usage BEFORE I reset them go to this URL and read my original post in that thread.  It showsa screen shot of my battery usage.

PS, You might take a screen shot of you current Battery Statistics before you do this for comparison.

I found an easier and much quicker way to reset the Battery Use than the method that I described here so please go to the following thread to see how.

    I've forgotten my administrator password and can't download software. can anyone advise how to reset a new password without having the original?

    Forgot Your Account Password
    For Snow Leopard and earlier
         Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
    For Lion/Mountain Lion
        Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
         Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
         instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
         Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
         OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:
    (these will only work on Leopard or earlier)
      1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down
          the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
      2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each
          command line:
         /sbin/fsck -yf
         If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command
         until you do.  If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK"
         message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
         mount -uw /
         cd /private/var/db/netinfo
         mv local.nidb local.old
         rm ../.AppleSetupDone
         shutdown -r now
    The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
    This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
    Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
    You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
    First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
    Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
    Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
    mount -uw /
    ifconfig lo0 up
    cd /var/db/netinfo
    netinfod -s local
    Now you'll need that short name. Enter "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called "imadmin", you would enter "passwd imadmin".
    The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "lmadmin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
    Now, enter:
    sync
    reboot
    and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed.

  • How to reset my iPod touch without lost the games I paid

    I have iPod touch 4 version 6.1.6 and the battery is gone very easily even it was charging all the night maybe overcharging and now is frozen sometimes could you help me what do I do

    I'm a little unclear regarding what you've already done so I'll start from the beginning.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site.  If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • TS3212 how to reset my iphone 3gs without power of batery ?

    how to reset my iphone 3gs without power of batery?

    Your phone has "told" you it was dying; you didn't listen.  You ignored the broken power button, you ignored the frequent crashing, and now your battery is probably dead.  And despite this, you never thought to import the "important" pictures and data off your phone?
    If you cant turn on the phone or get it recognized in iTunes, there's no way to access the data. 

  • How can I reset my administrator password, without knowing the original administrator password?

    Hi guys,
    I use a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. A few months ago I reset my administrator password and have not been able to remember it since. Consequently, I haven’t been able to do any software updates, my computer is running slow and I'm getting a lot of pop-up junk on my screen. I’m the only user on my computer, apart from the Guest User (Sharing only).
    How can I reset my administrator password, without knowing the original password?
    Thanks.

    Your phone is in recovery mode. That means you've already lost all data on the phone. Your only choice now is to restore the phone, either from backup or as new. All data, currently on your phone, is gone.

    I have three iPads and one iPod and one iPhone.  How can I message between them without sending the message to all of them.  You send the message to your email address but all of them are set up under one account.

    You can have a different receiving email in the Messages app on each device : Settings > Messages > Receive At . I'm not sure that there is a different way to have the message only go to one device.

  • How can i print an email without printing the attachment?

    I just got my new macbook pro retina display.  I am using Mac mail and want to know how I can print an email without printing the attachement.  Any suggestions and solutions would be appreciated.

    Thank you for your suggestion.  But when I receive an email that has an attachment (shown by paperclip symbol) The email opens and shows the attachment(jpg picture) at the end of the email so when I go to print - the email pops up with the picture already opened inside the body of the email.  Can not figure out why this happens in mac mail.  when i used outlook in windows only email would show.  in order to see attachment you had to click on paperclip and only then would the attachment (picture apprear).
    Any other suggestions that I may could try would be appreciated. Thank you!  Gabriela

  • I mounted my external hard drive to a pc and now I don't have edit or write permissions on my Mac (read only). How do I get them back without erasing the drive?

    Hello all, I am a photographer and have my portfolio, edited and raw images backed up on a Seagate Free Agent External Hardrive. I mounted my external hard drive to a pc recently and now I don't have edit or write permissions to it on my Mac (read only). How do I get them back without erasing the drive and loosing my valuable work?

    If you re-format it you will lose all the data on it!!!!! So make sure you have backed up the drive or moved all the data on it to another external HD or the internal HD on your iMac.
    Below is an Apple Advice letter that explains how to format an external HD, it's written for Aperture but you can use the instructions to formate any external HD.

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
    Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
    All of your help is much appreciated, thanks
