On the tablet front, unless something's changed while I wasn't looking, you might want to consider Apple over Android. Android devices going from well-charged to dead while you're not using them gets really old really fast if you're used to iOS' nearly-miraculous levels of battery use while idle.
- FireBeyond 10y agoI should tell that to my iPad Pro 9. It can sit in my backpack for three or four day and go from 95% to 50%...
- ashark 10y agoYeesh. That's almost Android-bad. Last time I was developing for them iPads'd go most of a month and still have useful charge, provided they weren't a cellular model.
- x0x0 10y agoI have an ipad for the exact same reason as Ashark. I liked my android tablet just fine for reading except when I'd leave it in my backpack for a weekend, pull it out, and it would be nearly dead. My two year old ipad air 2 still holds a charge for a month if I don't use it. I'd take your ipad back to the store and ask for a replacement. Oh, and uninstall fb.
- FireBeyond 10y agoThat's a good point. I might try disabling FB background updates first, as the less nuclear option! :)
