battery drains super fast when it's supposed to be in sleep mode, like 30% overnight.

— asked by Taylor

Quick answer: The projector is not entering true sleep; background processes or Bluetooth remain active. The default sleep setting is a network-connected standby.

Diagnosis

The projector is not entering true sleep; background processes or Bluetooth remain active. The default sleep setting is a network-connected standby.

How to Fix It

Change the Sleep Mode setting. Go to Settings > Device Preferences > Power > Sleep Mode. Select 'Quick Boot Disabled'. This ensures a full shutdown when the power button is pressed, minimizing battery drain.

If That Didn't Work

An app is preventing sleep. Hold the home button to view recent apps. Swipe away all apps before putting the projector to sleep. Check for apps like screen mirroring or Plex that may run in the background.

Heads Up

Even with 'Quick Boot Disabled', expect a 5-10% battery drain per week from the circuit maintaining the internal clock. For long-term storage, power the device off and charge the battery to approximately 60%.
