The tablet's battery drains quickly and has a short standby time

The length of the tablet's standby time relates to its battery capacity and usage. The larger the battery capacity, the longer the standby time under the same conditions. For tablets with the same battery capacity, different usage can lead to different power consumption as well. Besides, false triggering of buttons can also make the battery drain fast.

Situations with large power consumption

The more complex the application or operation, the more power it consumes. For example, playing games is more power-consuming than watching videos, and watching videos is more power-consuming than listening to music.
Running many applications in the background will drain the battery more quickly.
The louder the tablet volume or the brighter the screen, the more power it consumes.
Notifications from apps, GPS location, high definition, and high frame rate will consume more power.
In poor signal conditions, the tablet will search for the network constantly, which is more power-consuming.
False triggering of side buttons will prevent the tablet from sleeping. For example, the power button is triggered by the packaging box or protective case.

How to optimize battery life:

Take the following measures to reduce power consumption when you are playing games or watching videos:

Pull down the status bar and turn down the screen brightness.
Go to the Recent tasks screen and close unneeded background apps.
Swipe left and right on the Recent tasks screen to view background apps. Swipe up the unneeded app to close it.

Adjusting App settings, turning down the volume, and disabling power-consuming features such as high definition, high resolution, and GPS can reduce power consumption.

Take the following measures if the standby time is short in daily use:

Close unneeded background apps regularly by going to the Recent tasks screen and tapping the icon at the bottom.
Go to Settings > Notifications > Manage all to disable notifications from multiple apps at once, and enable notifications from a certain app.
High screen brightness and resolution will increase power consumption. Go to Settings > Display & brightness, and enable Automatic and Smart Resolution.
Go to Settings > Battery and enable Power Saving mode.
