I'm really confused about reading my battery, as you can see I'm down 50 % from a full charge with 3 hours and 37 minutes on Screen. Now what I am wondering is does this encompass my complete device usage, or do I need to add the 1 hour 51 minutes from ocean browser and the time from media server?

If it's the former doesn't that seem a little low, I thought I should be getting about 9 hours but at this rate I'm getting about 7. I keep brightness at the lowest, and mainly use my tablet for browsing and YouTube on Ocean browser and checking a few apps.
I've turned off push notification on everything but my email, and when I know I won't be using it for a while I turn off WiFi too. Bluetooth and location services are also turned off. So why is my battery life so poor?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Forgot to add, I don't understand why media server is equal to my ocean browser usage, as far as I know I don't use it. I dont watch movies or music on my tablet, other than with ocean browser.

your screen on time is 3 hours and 37 minutes. you shouldn't be counting ocean browser since its included in screen on time.
I would say it looks right. you have tablet idle for 1 day and 10 hours. it will use some battery.
lets say you charge full and dont use your tablet for 10 days and battery came down to 5% and then use it would you say you only got 1 hrs screen time??

media server is used whenever you listen to music/video or any media content. even via your browser.

but i think your media server is the problem here. if you have corrupted music files media server seems to have a problem and drains battery
