Weird tablet battery usage
Discussion
Help me out here - not sure what to do.
I use a Yuntab h8 8" 4g tablet that's about a year old in the van/at work. Used for satnav, data entry, occasional browsing etc. Cheap'n'cheerfull and doesn't matter too much if it gets dropped or nicked.
Recently started running down real fast, but not consistently. E.g. Other night went from 70%to 0 over night. Today left in van for 2 hours in standby at 8.30am lost 10% charge. But! Later left in van in standby at 1pm for 5 hours and lost only 5%.
Now I know you're gonna go "new batt mate" but I don't think it is, I had a Chinese smartphone recently (doogee s60) that at 6 months old was doing the same marlarky and that had a new batt tried. That became unusable to the degree I got it refunded, and that was a £280 handset so not really a happy shopper PoS. I'm sure there's some process or app that's playing havoc and not showing in the battery monitor - is there a better battery monitoring app?
What else would you suggest?
