C and p from zorro

Usually the case only if Bluetooth isn't connected or remotes not paired

Although I've encountered it with some cheap batteries as well..

I don't have one as yet but I use the remote on the vidstick and what I did was deactivate the back light and it has made a huge difference in battery life.

I knew it had to be like that because I learnt from the previous one on the 4500 I think it was. I have mi e off from day 1 and I just checked it at 79%. But I got mine almost 2 months after you.
