Helllo 
I brought a note 12.2 in January. This is my first tablet
Thank God everything on it works really good. But just having battery issues....!
I had about 3 laptops before that all really bad problems....bad battery, low screen light , then just broken down lol etc etc.
But I'm really shocked at this battery and just thought it would 'somehow' get better...I don't know why ...
Anyways I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with when I first got it?
It said charge for 3 hours prior, I actually timed it. And went a little bit over because weirdly enough couldn't tell if the battery looked 'full' even though I've owned a note 2 phone for nearly
3 years lol ...
my question when anyone here first brought their tablet 12.2, did they charge it for 3 hours as it states in start up book, if so did they unplug it when it said '100%' or just showed the 'full battery' icon as in it goes green all the way up....?
If so because with did charge for well over 3 hours and did not switch it on until after 3 hours,this tablet doesn't give me close to 7 hours of use when in half bright essential mode, full brightness I can get 4-5. I will have to time that to get exact hours but basically not all that good for something that claims 13 hours..I know you won't get 13 but something close to 11 or 10 even!
I saw videos and reaserched beforehand. I watch mainly netflix and design software like sketchbook pro etc that's where the main power consumption goes but really can't think of why else it's so bad...before I know it I'm on 35%...then 15% just really awful . Phoned the place where I brought it they actually told me if it says 13 hours on the box than I should get that EXACTLY...not sure what to say on that as far as Im aware you dont always get what it says on the box because everyone uses different programs etc...I know or have enough experience with laptops etc to know it's simply not true. But they wanted me to come give it in for an exchange. ..I'm thinking I should. They were really nice I'm hoping they will be again as it's getting to close to nearly 3 months of use
but need to know if there is a known battery issue .. how many hours do other people get out. Of the 12.2?
