Is the battery life on this shocking for anyone else, or is it just me? It's supposed to be around 9 hours even playing HD video but I went from 80% to 14% yesterday with half an hours gaming and another half an hour of Netflix. What's going on?!

the hardware decoders can play hd video with their eyes closed. but gaming, by the nature of the games maxes out everything.
that having been said it still doesn't sound right. what does it say is using the battery?
Screen is at 48% :eek: It's just on over half contrast though.
That's exactly how i feel. I thought i'd get at least 2 days worth of battery before having to charge, but since this is my first ever tablet i'm shocked how quickly the battery drains.
I spend more time browsing the internet and reading sites than watching videos/tv and i rarely play any games, but even with browsing it goes from full to down to around 50% or less in the space of a few hours.
Same here. Unlike my works iPad which only gets charged once or twice a week. Other than that it's a brilliant tablet though. :rolleyes:
I keep my IPad and IPad touch in a dock . I have found now that the iPod can go from fully charged to 20% in 6 hours without being used (when the power from the dock is switched off)
That doesn't sound right at all. Our 2nd gen iPod touch lasts at least two to three weeks on standby and it's 5 years old!
Worth doing a reset? (IIRC iOS 4 caused similar overnight battery drain but it was fixed in an update)
Reset doesn't seem to have sorted it , wondering if I've had the Ipod almost permanently on charge (don't take it out of it's dock often )would have caused the problem .I've got 3 now that are now expensive paperweights the one in the dock is probably 2 years old .
