Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet, battery charge


Recommended Posts

Could the battery be going bad ?

 

I've had this tablet about 2 years.

 

I charge it up to 100% -- which used to last about 6 hours.

 

Now when I use it away from home, after say, 2 hours, I get a battery-low warning -- plug device in.

 

But the strange thing is, when I get home and plug in the charger, the screen says anywhere from 30 to 70% charge left. :huh:

 

Any ideas ?

I added a battery charge management app.

 

It seemed to help a little.

 

But after using the tablet for about 3 hours, it said 10% power left.

 

Plugged it in at home -- read 56%.

 

Something in the OS software must be screwy.

 

Maybe I will back-up files and do a Factory reset.

I'm thinking battery abuse, try draining it completely, and then a couple of power cycles

other than that, probably needs a battery change

 

what I do find interesting however, is that I have the 2010 version of that tablet and it'll go weeks between charging, (but that's very light use and reading)

I never abused the battery -- it was asking for it .... :p

well I hope you taught it a lesson it will not forget in a hurry

I hate when batteries think they can do whatever they want without fear of repercussion...........

 

wait, what were we talking about?

If you have done a full reset/made sure its not an app using CPU or making the tablet sleep correctly then I would just replace it.

Never ever let your battery go to 0% it destroys Li-Ion batteries doing so. Let them get to minimum 35% and then recharge them to 100% and then disconnect them.

I hear everyone say this, but to be honest I'm not even sure what this means, I've always fully discharged my lithium batteries

(By this I mean the device will turn off from lack of power <I understand that there is still power within the cell and it's not completely 0%> sometimes I won't even bother charging the device until the next morning, and devices like my note 10.1, or my 2012 moto g still run fine)

 

If it's a guideline, then so be it.

I think 10% is about the lowest it ever gets.

 

I mildly panic and turn it off.

 

For the first couple of years, I could rely on my tablet to go 6 hours.

 

I don't understand why the 2 different readings, saying 10% when it really is 56%, or whatever.

Oh I believe you

(personal experience, and I do mean personal, I'm only speaking for myself, I've never had a battery issue, my first lithium ion battery device was a nokia 8110 I think, done it ever since)

No, it'll be whatever the current operating system version it is running at the time

as far as I can tell it basically wipes all user data (not on the sd card if applicable) and restores the installed os

Then you'll have to re download all your apps (not a problem as play store keeps a record) and restore your personalised settings

    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
    • I wonder what that line really meant...

Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them.
