No battery usage data displayed

That’ts normal condition for this tablet/battery… This battery gives no feedback to the OS of it’s capacity.

Normal?  Surely Windows should and third party apps should, especially as battery usage stats are readily displayed in Android mode on the same machine with the same battery? I would be interested to learn what the experience of other users is.

Please use your brain. It is like I said. And learn how to read. I already told you it’s normal condition. And what does that mean? It means I already gave you enough feedback of other people with the same tablet, of whats normal condition. Mine shows the same behavior like two other tablets I have seen. Also Android “battery stats” are different from what the battery stats in Windows show. It’s mostly just %/time and not information read from the battery. Or the driver is just bugged in Windows, because it’s a default driver. The information of manufacturer and cycle is also bugged in Windows.

Hans — are you aware of how rude you are and how offensive it is? It is a fault you should try to correct, for your own good. The reason you have not been told this more often is that other people using this forum are polite and respectful as well as helpful. You risk a situation where your posts will just be ignored.

I do not want to quibble over a word but I think it might be better, instead of ‘normal’ to describe a system which is unable to report its own battery activity as ‘common’, if that is in fact the case. Not only can I not get the information when in Windows, all my battery apps have vanished, leaving blank tiles in Start. I have had to re-install them all from the Store (I will see if they survive this time). I would not describe this as ‘normal’ even if it is common.

If this issue is common I hope someone will eventually provide a hack of app which can put it right.
