As cool as it looked right out of the box, this tablet is getting me frustrated.
I bought this for my daughter for Christmas to replace her aged Kindle Fire (not even an HD). She barely has any apps on it - Kindle reader, Netflix, Candy Crush, Flappy bird and the ABC station app.
Nothing much more than that if anything.
Battery is wicked horrible. It won't even stay running straight off the AC charger! The battery keeps depleting even when on AC and eventually shuts off because no battery. Yes, this is using the Nexus charger.
Last night I plugged it in to charge after doing a hard shut down. I shut down from the Android OS and then booted up into the recovery screen and did a power off from there. So it was seriously OFF. After 6~8 hours charging the battery only charged up to 16%.
What the heck.
When running on minimal settings and even in safe mode (same thing in normal mode) the Android OS is hogging up 30% battery. Not a single app actively running and all apps that I could manually force power off are off!
This is OS version 4.4.2.
Can this be an OS problem? Or is there something wrong with the hardware so I send it in for repair?
