Battery quickly drains when off
Posted: May 26th, 2011, 8:02 pm
I've read on here where people lose a small percentage of battery power every day when their scroll is not in use. Well, losing 1% every day is better than losing the lot in one go!
The Scroll tablet I bought from ebay a few months back can be charged up, used for an hour in an evening, and be completely flat the next morning. The power drains constantly, whether it has been shutdown or not. It's rooted, de-phoned etc and re-ID'd for the Marketplace, so not sure what could be in use that's draining the battery.
The seller couldn't find the receipt that they had when they bought it, so I'm guessing they sold it on ebay as they couldn't return it for a refund or exchange.
Anyone any ideas what I can do? I'm giving an app called 'Spare Parts' a go, will post back with results.
if this doesn't do it, I think I'm stuffed, basically!
