What version of Android™ is on the devices?Depending on the model you have purchased the version of android may vary but can easily be found by going to your Apps > Settings > About Device > and there you will find your version.

The battery on my D2 PAD runs out very quickly, what can I do?The Android™ Mobile Technology Platform was conceived such that the device can be woken up from suspend triggered from applications (ex: check emails every 10mn). As a consequence if you have network applications running in the background (that are auto launched at boot) that are network hungry (ex: checking the weather every 2 minutes) this will have an impact on the battery drain. If you are not using the Wi-Fi, shut it off. A screen set to maximum brightest also drains energy from the device. Set your device as well to have its screen go off after 2 minutes of non-use. These things will help your battery conserve energy.
