Hello everyone! Happy to be here and eager to engage in some conversation with everyone.
OUR SCENARIO
We have developed an app that is being used within Medical offices. We have locked down our device using SureLock (great application), and have enabled the app to only allow our custom app to run. Our app is web based so wifi access is needed whenever a customer is using the device. Our device needs to maintain battery throughout an 8 hour day, as doctors are reluctant to charge the devices throughout the normal workday. Our app is extremely simple, showing just text and submit buttons and only used 2-3 times an hour for 30-120 seconds.
OUR ISSUE
We have tested several sub <$99 tablets including AGPtek, and Idolian. The processor speed and screen clarity means very little to us, it is all about battery life. These units simply don't cut it, they are lasting 2-3 hours on full charge. We are seeking a solution for a device that will run our one app + kiosk mode, while maintaining below normal battery consumption so our devices can maintain an entire day without recharge. We are now using a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and it is perfect, however this is above our price point. Additionally, this unit has way more bells and whistles that are needed. We have to keep our device cost under $100.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Extremely grateful for any of your advice. If custom roms or firmware are needed, we are actively seeking to bring someone on to help us solve this issue.
Best Regards,
Jellybeans
