Help Battery life with 4.2.2

[olivierm]

Since job 4.2.2 ota upgrade, I have noticed the battery usage shooting up sharply. Right now the battery has 30% remaining and that's after just 1d 3h of idle time, I.e. not using the tablet at all. The battery usage app shows that the culprit to be .... Android OS at 83% with google services at 9% and idle 6%.

Anyone experiencing the same thing ?

Turn off the eyeball thing. Its sampling the camera constantly. Ive had my tablet on since 7:00 this morning with an occasional e-mail check and some short surfing and at 14 hours, I still have 78% showing.

I checked that bit it was not on. Anyway ended up doing a factory reset. Not sure if there's a change as the tablet has been heavily used since. fingers crossed.

What's the eyeball thing?

How do you switch it off?

Eyeball is smart stay. It detects if your looking at screen or not, and will not let the screen time out (shut off) if you are looking at it. To turn it off just pull down the notification shade and deselect it.

Though I believe default, it is turned off.
