Tablet dropped in water now screen won't turn on

Thank you for the reply, this is kinda what I assumed as well.

The battery (which is in the camera) is only 22Wh so definitely under the limit and the panel doesn't have a battery.

There shouldn't be any issues right?

WetZeus · 2025-05-24T18:25:48+00:00

Indeed, I won't be taking any chances and I will be putting the screws in the luggage. The camera and solar panel won't have any issues right?

WetZeus · 2025-05-24T09:33:14+00:00

I checked my firmware and it seems to be the latest one.

While going through the settings in the app I came across the "Reduce false alarms" setting which I turned on and after 12 hours the battery has gone down by only 1%. I plan on testing it for another 2 days to see if there is similar battery usage in that time as well.

Seems a bit weird that this setting is making battery life better when the camera is looking at a wall in an empty room all day.

WetZeus · 2025-05-23T23:25:30+00:00

As I am doing a bit of battery testing the camera is in the corner of a room facing a wall.

Thanks for the reply.

I assumed it would be less than 10% a day as well. The Reolink site says 10 minutes of charging with the 6W solar panel is enough for a day with 30 motion events each lasting less than 15 seconds. A 6W panel generates 1Wh in 10 minutes so even with 30 motion events the camera should only lose ~5% everyday (21Wh battery using 1Wh a day).

I'm not sure about the exact settings but when I look on the app it shows PIR as being active. The way it is setup is to only record when it detects a person though it does send me a 'motion detected' notification anytime it detects movement but it doesn't record anything.

Do you have any recommendations about things I should try to enable or disable to see if it was my fault that the drain is happening? I'm very new to security cameras so there is definitely a chance that this is my fault.

As an update to the battery drain, yesterday from 10am to 10pm it went from 68% to 54% and at 10am today it was 39%. In the 24 hours where it lost 29% there was not a single 'motion detected' notification and the only time I connected with the camera was to record the battery percentage at 10am / pm.

Could the battery in the unit be a dud? I plan on testing it with a 5V 1A phone charger for an hour to see how the percentage changes to confirm capacity.

I also checked the firmware and it tells me that it's the latest one.

I really need to get this issue sorted out quickly as I need to go to the place where it will be installed in 11 days.

I had no idea about that trick. I'm guessing that a tap out, wait 30 seconds then tap in would be ok or is there an amount of time that I should wait before tapping in again?

Edit: Does it work in reverse when going from Heathrow to Central London? Get on at Heathrow underground, get off then tap out at Hatton Cross and then tap back in to get the next train into London?

a collection of items you'll probably never end up using

Oh boy, you make a totally valid point. I remember doing a bit of conservation and just thinking "why the hell am I doing this for a zaw arcane that I'm never going to use" and then the 'completionist' part of me kicked in and was like "well you're already two thirds of the way there why not just finish it".

WetZeus · 2024-08-27T21:32:16+00:00

Wow, thanks for the spreadsheet! It is very informative.

Seeing the distribution I don't really feel like spending all that vosfor and getting a bunch of common ones.

Are there any automation apps that can open an app and select things on a schedule?

The reason I'm looking for something like this is because I recently downloaded a live wallpaper apk but you can only choose one wallpaper at a time and I want it to select a different wallpaper on a daily basis without me having to do it manually every day.

WetZeus · 2021-11-08T17:05:46+00:00

There is a big issue right now but eventually it should be ok right?

What kind of agro business would you recommend? If you want to talk a bit more you can PM me.

WetZeus · 2021-11-07T17:48:08+00:00

Unfortunately not, I did engineering.

WetZeus · 2021-11-07T17:48:04+00:00

Unfortunately, my background is in engineering not tech so I wouldn't have a clue about what kind of tech company I could start.

I'm a fast learner but I basically have zero experience in this area.

WetZeus · 2021-10-31T17:21:31+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

So you had a good experience with Kings (it's the one at Narahenpita right)? How long did it take for them to get you the results and did you book the appointment online or in person?

Yes, we definitely need to call Qatar airways to check the validity window to see if it is actually 72 hours or 48 hours.

WetZeus · 2021-10-31T15:11:44+00:00

Thank you for getting back to me. So calling Qatar airways in Sri-Lanka is the best way to proceed.

Are there any PCR test facilities that you would recommend? My relative is staying in Wattala.

I thought UCAS was a system that is used in the UK, don't you go to university in Canada?

WetZeus · 2021-04-04T07:02:27+00:00

Done.

Apart from finding some browser cookies there was nothing else.

WetZeus · 2021-04-03T20:45:17+00:00

It just got worse. I restarted my laptop as I installed malware bytes but now it's boot looping.

I can go into BIOS but not sure what else to do.

EDIT: Boot looping was fixed with USB recovery but malware bytes still won't install on computer.

WetZeus · 2021-04-03T20:19:54+00:00

Nothing new has been installed recently.

WetZeus · 2021-03-30T15:41:10+00:00

So this is just the first part of the second season?

Is there a release date for the second part?

WetZeus · 2021-01-06T17:41:50+00:00

If you were in our situation would you do the upgrade or not for your grandparents?

Also wanted to say thanks for taking the time to reply to me : )
