Hi,

Any help here would be gratefully received: my S7800B came with Android 4.4 already installed and no access to the emulators/ROMs or Game Center/Happy Chick; My first question is: does this sound like I've bought a returned/used model that someone has attempted to update, or are JXD selling them updated to 4.4 now (and, bizarrely, messing up the path to all the included apps and games?

My second question is about battery life; I know some emulators can drain power quickly but this is ridiculous: I was down to less than 30% charge in just over an hour after playing some SNES (SuperRetro16) and GBA (MyBoy) games. 2 races in Mario Kart Super Circuit on MyBoy (about 7mins playing time) alone drained 8%. I have extraneous stuff turned off (even wi-fi) and volume and brightness halfway - does this sound right to other users? Or is it possible that this is custom firmware that I've read is notorious for bad battery life?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me,
James

Thanks a lot for your help - I really appreciate it. I'll try downloading and messing with Kernal Tuner to start with and see if that helps - but anything will be an improvement on it currently!

Thanks, I've lowered it a little more. The battery seems to drop sharply and then hold, seemingly arbitrarily, I've noticed. Not sure if I have a dodgy unit but I'm resigned to getting about 3 hours play from it with 8bit and 16bit emulators; it's a good thing I wasn't planning on using it for anything more advanced, or it'd be permanently plugged in.

If this is normal battery life it's a real shame as the thing itself is fantastic otherwise.
