Question: Anyone had an issue lately with excessive battery drain? I loved how this charged quickly and held it's charge but now it drains 30% or more at night?
Document: This tablet (WiFi only) was $285 on Amazon in Oct 2012. For the price, it is OK (much better than the POS WalMart is selling for $150). I have been using it almost daily for over a year. The battery now stays charged for about 5 hours with game and browsing use.Pros:Loads fairly quickly, micro HDMI out, micro USB, SD card slot, good stereo sound for its size.
I haven't timed the battery life but it's similar to my iPad, with the iPad probably winning out. Haven't had the need to charge it every day, I've seen some reviews say they've seen 10 hours life or more. Unit comes in and out of sleep very quickly by way of the power button.Cases:Other than the ports not lining up exactly, this unit is the same exact size as the Kindle Fire 8.9 which means those sleeves and cases should fit the A2109.
The other issue is that once in a while the tablet is a little funny about charging, especially when the charge is low. There have been times when it doesn't seem to want to charge while turned on, especially with an aftermarket charger, but this problem seems somewhat intermittent and I have never not been able to charge it. The battery seems to last a reasonable amount of time, even with the wireless on. This was one of the most affordable tablets and it had decent reviews when I bought it.
For 200 bucks it was a steal, I notice a couple people had problems with power. First you must use the power supply that Lenovo issue to you and second, when your tablet does not power up it means your battery is dead you need to charge it.2/21/2013 - Update - 4 mouths and still loving it. You can update the OS to 4.1 Jelly Bean. When you buy accessories if amazon does not have it EBay will have it.
I think this tablet will be just fine!The screen size and processor performance are great. As I said before, I expect battery life to be decent, also.Anyone interested in a midsize tablet should give it a try.===========Update: Christmas morning...I'm finding it's better to turn the unit off, rather than put it in standby mode.
I bought my tablet locally for a better price. So far, it's been great!I'm writing this review while seated on the sofa, watching the Bengals play the Steelers and listening to Sirius XM radio over Bluetooth headphones. After half an hour, the charge has only dropped 5 percent. That indicates battery life should be pretty decent.While others have complained about the screen, I find it's more than adequate for me.
Highly recommend the Android JuiceDefender app from the Play Store - it will double or triple real-world battery capacity.This might be unique to our unit, but we discovered that an iPad/iPhone USB charger (the 10watt, not the puny one) doesn't really work. Even running overnight, it might only charge to 35%. With the manufacturer's charger, it was recharged in less than two hours.
Bought this device from a brick and mortar store on sale for $199, my experiences with it:The battery was low on my new A2109 last night so I turned it off and put it on the charger overnight. However now it seems to be bricked......will not power on, cannot be see on computer either when connected.
I love this tablet it's everything and I started not to buy it cause of the reviews but Iove it just wish that it would stay charged longer
I would recommend this tablet to anyone.
Answer: I have 2 of these and have only seen increased power drain in 2 situations - leaving it on in low power mode, then placing it somewhere (i.e. under the desktop, on a bookcase shelf) that makes it use more power to search for the wireless signal (happens to cell-phones also). And on one of mine I have seen it dropped and the case near the battery "popped" slightly open, apparently reducing battery contact. Snapped the case back together and it fixed the issue. We just got into the habit of plugging in the charger at night and seem to get 6.5 to 8.5 hours on the battery during the day.
