Battery drain

Sony5100 — Fri, 23 Oct 2015 16:30:23 GMT

Hello all.

Is it fair to say that my new z4 tablet will take a few cycles for the battery to hold its charge.? I know my Samsung devices do, and im sure most other products. Just wondering if this was the same.

Thanks you

Colin..

@Sony5100

It'll be wise to reinstall the latest update with PCC, it will smooth things out and improve battery life

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)

I wouldnt have a clue how to do this. Can you help with that maybe?

Again its only two days old, will the charge cycles not help. Also i have the keyboard attached all the time, connected via bluetooth I believe. This wont help with the drain will it?

Thanks

Colin..

it's quite simple install PC Companion on your computer or Bridge on your mac > support Zone > repair

settings > power management > battery > check the graph and the list, what has been using the battery?

Hi @Sony5100!

If you still notice a drain a few days after the software repair then have a look at the tablet's battery usage, Settings > Power management > Battery usage, when the battery is down to around 25% or less to see what has been using most of the battery.
