Battery life and Charging issues



Hi Guys,

Just bought a 8.0 version. So far I have few issues with it

1, The device must be charged with official samsung adapter which came with it or unless it only activates slow charge. I have few hi-power USB adaptors (2A) lying around of iPad which quickly charges iPhone and iPad within an hour or 2, I connected the tab with it but it gave the error message that it's not official samsung adapter and activated the slow charge which is painfully slow. It charges 10 % in 1 hour, so require to plug in 12 hours to charge it full.

2, I charged it full and left it for 1 day, didn't open it. On the second day, I opened it to find out the battery left only 5 % from 100 % , it drained 95 % in just a day or more doing nothing !!!

3, After that, last night I disabled notifications for all apps, disabled google account auto sync, disabled a lot of apps which I thought might be draining the battery. I left it at 80 % . This morning I woke up to find out it was left 64 % i.e. even after all notifications and sync disabled, it still sucked 14 % sitting idle in just 7 hours time. That is, still sucking 2 % an hour sitting idle. I find it pretty amazing, since even my iPhone with all it's notifications etc, the battery doesn't drop more than 1 or 2 % whole night. Comparing with 2 % an hour for this tab with all notifications disabled !!!

Is the system this bad in battery management? or is it normal for android devices?
