I know that this has been discussed many times before, but i want to know if you guys have experienced this with your clie.
I was at work today, and I used my clie for about 5 minutes to check on stuff and to set reminders. I pulled it out again to write another reminder about 10 min later.
I then took a picture of someone, and then took a short ~5sec video as well. After that, I noticed that my battery life was around 97-99% Not bad. Then I noticed that when I pulled it out again, that the battery life dropped to about 93%. I took some pics (maybe around 20 or so) of products that I needed to pull for the shelves to restock. My battery life started to drop to 87%, then to 83%. I took my NX upstairs, and used acidimage to look at the photos to see what I needed. When I got done with this (took 5-10 min) my battery decreased to about 74%. Now, whenever I closed the device, it remained on (I use alwayson to keep it on longer than the 3 min, I think I had it set to about 15 min at this point. However, I close the clamshell so the screen turns off, not in tablet mode when I wasn't using it.) Also, a few reminders went off, so it prolly stayed on for 15 min at a time, but with the screen off (closed in clamshell mode again). I later went to do a group project, and noticed that after looking up some info for less than 5 min, my battery life had decreased to around 55%!!!
The whole time my screen was at about 40% brightness, when it was on. Does this sound like too much drain to you guys? Or do you think that the always on app is making my battery drain faster (even tho the screen turns off when I close my NX). Thoughts?
