    If you open google.com in one fully charged android tablet and codeproject.com (lots of get, post and other stuff happening as compared to google.com) in another fully charge android tablet. Now you keep refreshing them every 5 seconds which one will go out of battery soon :confused:

      Refreshing google.com homepage every 5 seconds is just boring. Not sure what your point is, but codeproject.com wins.

        my point is : do surfing a heavy page effects battery life of a device ?

          Whichever requires the most work to render the page - presumably CP - would drain the battery first. every action on any device takes some power - rendering a single line of text takes less power than rendering two lines of text. retrieving 1Kb takes less power than retrieving 100Kb to calculate accurately, you'd have to know which page takes most power to retrieve and render - but my bet would be google's static image and little in the way of text or graphics would take less than Cp with many images and lots of text. I disagree your post's subject, however

            Neither. My interest would go out first. Marc

              I think the same way more processing means more power. but when i asked the same question to my android developer frnds they just laughed at me. they say until unless the new process doesn’t start like playing a video, starting a camera etc. the page rendering has no much effect on battery life.

                Sure, not MUCH but some I dunno what the battery life is, but lets assume 10 hours doing nothing at all, staring at a blank page every 5 second is (60 / 5) * 60 * 10 refreshes = 7200 refreshes before the battery dies just doing nothing So if the difference in power requirements for a google page refresh and a CP page refresh is 0.0001 (i.e. .01 of a percent) then there will be a 5 second difference in the battery life If your chums think they can do more work with the same power, I suggest they immediately patent their methods and stand in line for a nobel prize. * my maths may be crap - but the concept is correct. It does take more power to do more work. It only takes a little power to do a little more work, but it still takes more. I would happily wager large quantities of cash on the outcome of any realistic experiment they'd like to put together

                  I have this vision of you wandering around with a wad of cash muttering "wanna bet". I wonder does android programming make you dumber, just like IE.

                    I only ever bet on certainties. Imremember I bet o maneuver australan mans power was 50'or 60'Hz - I won. Last bet I recall was 50 bucks that I would be made redundant before the end of the year. This was in November. I was made redundant two days later! I also once went out with a girl called Stephanie Gamble However, I don't thInk I have ever had a 'wad of cash'
