That is strange - I was getting it literally every time at 5% if not before, and I still haven't had the issue once since I last posted, I've kept letting the battery get down to 2-3% each time just to test. Oh well, I'll enjoy it while it lasts! Will let you know if the problem reappears, and...

Hi again! Just wondering if you have any battery saving apps installed? I had one called Battery Doctor installed, and removed it after installing Arco's kernel as I no longer needed it - since then I've let the battery run down to 2-3% on several occasions without seeing any sudden drain...

Ah, ok - my understanding was that unchecking this option is SuperSu temporarily disabled root access - Root Checker says my device isn't rooted, and the SuperSu options to notify me if an app requests root access are still enabled. If this is wrong I guess I can leave it enabled and just...

Thanks Marchrius (and hello again!) I tried it last night and everything seems to have worked fine - well, I'm getting an error if I boot into stock recovery now, but that may have been there already, I don't know - I guess I shouldn't need to use it for anything anyway. I decided to root...

Yes, on JB - I thought it might be a battery calibration issue until I saw your post about the CPU (and until trying to calibrate the battery didn't do any good). Would be nice if KK fixed it, although it'd probably be by chance - since I can't find any mention of the bug online except in...

Not that this will help you any, but seeing as no-one else has responded, just thought I'd let you know you're not alone, and also it's not a problem specific to Arco's kernel - I seem to get the same thing on a completely unmodified S4 Mini. It suffers from the 'battery drain while idle' bug...

Newbie questions! Hi guys I've recently bought a 2nd hand S4 Mini which seems to be suffering from the notorious battery drain issue caused by a bad kernel. I'd like to install the kernel from this thread to fix it, but I've never attempted any custom stuff on a phone before. I've done a lot...

These aren't a bad fit for the G Pad with a case on it (the IVSO for mine). They're just right in length, a little too wide, but certainly nowhere near as much as a 10" case would be. They're available from several sellers on Ebay with other designs if you don't like the ones in the link...

Might be worth exchanging it - I've seen a few people with the same issue, but most of these cases seem to be fine, mine included, so seems more like a quality control issue than a design fault. Chances are you'd get lucky on the second one.

The issue isn't simply that Wi-Fi is off when the tablet first boots up, it's that it refuses to switch Wi-Fi on until it's restarted a second time, so don't think this would help. ---------- Post added 30th January 2014 at 12:01 AM ---------- Previous post was 29th January 2014 at 11:55 PM...

Yes, I've experienced it, if by starting up the G Pad you mean from it bring completely shut down, rather than sleeping. Also happens when doing a restart sometimes. As you say, a further restart sorts it out. I very rarely shut the tablet down or restart it though, usually I just let it sleep...

Just tried it, and you're right, the magnet seems to attach quite a bit more firmly that way. With the inside of the cover showing when folded, I could only get it to stand on a hard, flat surface.....your way, I've just been able to stand it up on my bed. Thanks for the tip! The Quick Cover is...

I wonder if this app would help - I used it with another bluetooth keyboard and tablet when I had the same issue, though I haven't tried it with my G Pad yet. In my case, the £ sign was printed on the keyboard but despite this it was permanently set to US layout in the software somehow (despite...

I got the same thing on a completely unmodified G Pad last weekend. It happened once, worked ok for a few unlocks, then happened a second time. Each time I had to hold the power button down to force a reboot. It's hasn't happened before or since, so I've no idea what caused it, but I did...

When staying at my Mum's without the G Pad charger, I originally tried charging the tablet with the cable (meant for charging, not just data) and power adaptor (0.8A) that came with a Kindle e-reader - as expected it took ages. I then bought the Amazon Powerfast usb power adaptor (the one they...
