the Acer A500 battery.
One discussion says to place the tablet is Airplane mode (which turns off wifi)
and then specifically turn wifi back on.
The wisdom (if not yet substantiated) is that is turns of phone cell phone search activity.
Namely, the phone.apk and the telephonyprovider.apk processes (I think apk's are install pkgs. but also effectively running processes, not sure)
Some have "rooted" the A500 device (surprising not so difficult to do) and then explicitly renamed each of the two APK's mentioned above as .bak.
Effectively turning them off and supposedly extending each battery life cycle of the tablet.
There are some serious cautions to be observed if this is attempted. Ref. How To Root An Acer Iconia A500 - xda-developers
