Cell standby using close to 70% of my battery.
I have an Apex 9in tablet (AP-GS918) , I had two previous that was getting frozen on the boot screen, so had to send them back to customer service. This is the first time using this last one I received, I fully charged it and set it up, used it yesterday and the battery only lasted maybe 3 hrs on a full charge. I looked at battery settings and noticed cell standby was using 70% of the battery. I looked up the problem and switched to airplane mode as recommended. Even with that it's still using 68% of the battery, and draining it fast. It seems to be a problem with it searching for a cell signal, but I'm only using this on a home Wi-Fi connection, and that's all I'm wanting it for.
The previous two Apex tablets never had this problem, and a 7in tablet I've been using doesn't do this. Is there some way to fix this, besides airplane mode? Right now the battery usage shows 69% cell standby, 12% screen, 11% android system, 7% Wi-Fi, and 1% tablet idle.
Even though it's in airplane mode, the details for cell standby say 69% battery used by cell radio, time on 1hr 16m 57s, time without a signal 100%.
If I use the power and volume buttons and go into hard reset, there is an option for upgrade 3g modem firmware (v1.0.0.1), would this help or fix it?
