Hey guys I was hoping for some help. I own a Note 5 but for school I was hoping for something smallish for textbooks. I was reading that the actual screen size of the 8.0 was actually just 6.5 by 5 inches. Is that accurate? If so would you say that the difference for reading textbooks would be...

You both make lots of points. And I didn't notice the wifi being off at all in his chart. That might be how samsung gets their numbers?. I'll have to test what I get with wifi off running some sd videos. Will report back with the results in the next couple days. As always thanks guys for taking...

Will do. I'm going to charge it up twice more and do two different experiments. The first one will be with auto brightness and multi view using the youtube app and google playbooks. After that I will try youtube alone with auto brightness off and try get close to 15-20% and see what those...

Sorry for responding so late. I always thought auto brightness was the best option for saving battery life. That's pretty interesting. Do you know by chance what % auto bright is set at?

Yea I'll keep an eye on how much drains tonight. I'm at 34% now. I might exchange it instead of return it.

Ah, you're rooted. Does that improve battery life? I've never rooted before and even though I've read some stuff on how I still don't think I understand it well enough to do it. I don't want to brick the device and not be able to return it. And I wouldn't disagree with you about battery life...

OK please do. The thing is though is I`my not doing anything heavy. My scream is on auto bright and YouTube is the only app running. My cache is completely empty. So I'm sort of at a loss for words as to what's going on. Especially when you and others are getting so great battery time.

Yea. I was keeping everything minimum so I could get a good estimate running only the youtube video. Do you think the more time I use the tablet the battery might "settle in" and get better or am I just typing nonsense. Thanks for the help btw.

I just got it yesterday. I got the updates and then did a factory reset.

Well the thing is, it seems I get the same battery drop no matter what I'm doing. I was reading and it seems to fall at the same rate. 12 points per hour.

Can't you do some trick an download the flash player?

So, I charged my battery to 100% last night to do a battery test this morning. I have all my notification options off except for wifi, reading, and power mode. I used the battery guide posted for the 10.1...

Why don't you have yours anymore? And why can't Samsung get something as simple as a browser to work properly? I mean they can create something as brilliant and responsive as the Spen and can't get a browser to scroll properly?

Does anyone else get this? When I'm browsing and i want to scroll down I get this horrible lag, choppy, response. I've used the stock browser, chrome, and puffin. My device is up to date and while the updates have all but gotten rid of the lag for the home screen, the lack of not being able to...
