I've started a thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76835
And I try to reproduce the failure: Battery duration in standby without any activity.
Did it happen to you only once or is it more or less the "standard" you experience? |
I am doing a controlled experiment now and it seems to be standard that the battery drains rather quickly in standby mode.

That's why I'm asking myself, whether it may be something about the touchscreens.
WACOM tablets, as far as I know, usually have a sensor, which starts the tablet, as soon as the stylus is taken out of the unit or approaches the screen.
(In BeBook Neo I had the stylus inserted, so this can't be an explanation there.) ...

We have two Onyx Booxen, one for my wife and one for me. I also thought that the Wacom screen would be shut off when the stylus is inserted, because that's what they say. I suspected some kind of microswitch at the tip of the hole. But I tried on my Boox with the stylus inserted and touched it with the other stylus. But the screen still worked, so it wasn't switched off. There could be some proximity sensor but that would also use battery. Maybe it's just an oversight in the software?
