So that.... Which programs you know that having them running on cause to dont sleep your phone when you switch the screen off?
Im suspecting of Advance Task Killer... which else?
How do i know that my android is going fine to sleep?
Network Monitor is mentioned as a battery killer. Removing it battery comes to normal.
I use 3g watchdog which is perfect now.
im suspecting Locale...

Turn on airplane mode and make sure no apps are running in the background.
My standby time is fantastic...
The fact that this tablet does multi-tasking is both a blessing and a curse. When tethering via bluetooth, it doesn't die even if you're not using it. I left mine connected to my iphone at night and the next morning, both the tablet and the phone are discharged. I'm sure that there's a setting somewhere that will kill these processes after n minutes of inactivity but for now, make sure your connection is off (Airplane mode) and just kill all processes using the Advanced task killer.

hmm I have bluetooth tether on 24/7 and it barely drains anything... odd.
This might seem extreme, but I turn mine off if I know I won't be using it for several hours or more. Power-up is pretty quick when I do need to use it. I know it's not the ideal solution, but it has helped me a lot. Now it last for several days between charges instead of a day or so.
Anyone else get stupid fast drain while its sleeping? I have wifi sleep policy set to turn off wifi when screen is off, and using the task manager nothing looks to be running that i havent launched myself. But usually i'd have the battery last DAYS and DAYS if i wasn't using it that much, but the last few charge cycles it's been nearly dead at the end of the day. Is there an app I can get to monitor stuff while its sleeping to see if something is keeping it from deep sleep? I can't remember what i've installed recently that could keep it in wake-lock or whatever. Thanks guys.
There's a build in feature in the settings menu to tell you what uses battery
Check that the wifi is actually sleeping when the screen is off. Tap the power button to wake up the tablet then look at the notification bar in the right hand corner to see if the wifi is turning on and connecting. If its not doing that then I dont think the wifi is disconnecting and turning off when the screen is turned off.
For battery issues, two "must have" tools are "better battery stats" and "cpu spy"
gary's right. download better battery stats here:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats
and since the developer of that app loves XDA, there's a free version for us!

Look into the partial wakelock and find the cuplrit!
Battery Drain
Try loading the free util Auto Airplane Mode which has helped fix the SOD issue and the related battery drain during the SOD.
Sorry to push the old post up again.
Recently im suffering from the weird battery drain, i didnt play/use my phone much on sunday , the idle battery drain is huge. like 8 hrs from 100%-40%.
I've installed both betterbatterystats and cpu spy already.
From battstats , it shows that kworker/0:1-3 and kworker/u:12-13 etc using up most of the batt , secondly is the doubletwist music player.
From cpu spy, most of the time is with 200mhz even i didnt use the phone at all, rarely goes to deep sleep mode.
for the process kworker it didnt show whats the process/app is about , anyone else know wt to do now ?
Same problem here :-(
Fully loaded at 7 o'clock and now I'm 34% - this really sucks!

All you can do is to check the apps you recently installed or updated. They might lock you from sleep. No easy way to control this
For me it was the "samsung-keyboard" - I froze it and now everything seems normal.
Hi guys, i noticed an irritating problem with my One S after a few days of usage. My WiFi turns on at random, and remains on when my phone is in sleep mode. This occurs when I have 3G on. I have turned off using WiFi in sleep mode.
Anything else I can do? I feel like this takes a toll on my battery life.
I wouldn't worry too much about wifi if you just got the phone.
While its connected it shouldn't use up the battery. Afaik
It's the searching that uses battery.
yeah my wifi is on 24/7 i dont experience any drain through it..
you could put a toggle widget on one of your screens to turn it on / off.
it shouldnt be switching itself on it you manually turned it off
But it does exactly that! It turns itself on even after I have manually toggled it off. irritating as it searches for open networks even if I have data on. How do I resolve this hmmm
Maybe Tasker would help?
Okay, I've been trying to diagnose a somewhat annoying issue. I've been using a fairly simple set of conditions in the Llama utility to automatically disable Wifi when the screen turns off in CM7 to prevent a wakelock condition and reduce battery drain.
So I activate wifi, I reset the log in CPU Spy, and I lock the phone disabling the screen. When I reactivate the phone and check CPU Spy, wifi was definately off but the phone was never in Deep Sleep, so something was holding the wakelock I guess. I repeat the experiment with no changes and Llama still running, but this time I manually disable wifi before locking the screen. This time the phone immediately goes into Deep Sleep according to CPU Spy-- it works perfectly.
So what is the difference between Llama autodisabling and manually disabling wifi that leaves a wakelock active? I've repeated this experiment like ten times last night, and it isn't making much sense to me.
Thanks,
Gnat
I would love an answer to this as well. I can add that with juice defender ultimate the same thing happens. It will disable the wifi but the wakelock stays active. I have tried several settings and reboots and tests and the only thing that would get my phone to deep sleep was disabling JD.

I can't tell whether this is the exact same, because you make it sound like JD has the wakelock. In my case, Llama is running in both tests, the only difference is whether Llama turns off Wifi or I manually toggle it-- manual toggling puts it into deep sleep even with Llama running.
On the general battery issues on Triumph, one of the more helpful discussions I've seen is this one here-- http://androidforums.com/triumph-all-things-root/456795-cm7-triumph-battery-life-improvement.html. In it a quote from Tickerguy blesses the JuiceDefender approach to throttling data use for battery savings, but I don't think he had done any analysis regarding wakelocks. BTW, I reverted to stock today, and I am finding the exact same problems as CM7-- wifi imposes a wakelock, and Llama can't shut down wifi automatically without the wakelock persisting. I have to manually toggle wifi off before screen off before the wakelock is gone.

Gnat

Sorry; the wakelock is WLAN. It is almost always active if JD is toggling wifi. I hadn't tried disabling wifi manually but leaving JD active yet. I just tested that and got deep sleep immediately. So it must have something to do with how it disables wifi isn't releasing the wakelock.
You know, after switching back to stock from CM7 I'm really not sure I'm not happier. With CM7 I was getting worse battery performance, which led me to start obsessing about wakelocks and deep sleep. Now that I am back on stock, I do the same analysis and see that I have the same problems with wakelocks and deep sleep-- but the battery performance is better so it's not that big a deal. I'm sure that there are things I could do to make CM7 have better battery performance-- but I wasn't enjoying the process and wasn't finding answers, so why bother?
It's like power management programs. I ran Green Power for a long time, and had some glitchy problems with being unable to get wifi to turn on even though it wasn't supposed to be managed while the screen was on. Then I disabled it, and you know what... my battery life was good enough to get me through the day. Froyo is good enough to get me through the day.
The wakelock was put in there on purpose to prevent the phone from hanging when WiFi was on and the phone went to sleep. I use my power widget to turn off WiFi before I turned off the screen unless I'm actually using it.
You could try and build it to see if removing the wakelock is still necessary. If you need help on that side, just post and I'll help. It's not hard, really.
Disclaimer: I searched the forums but couldn't find anything relevant.
Am I the only one whose tf700 acts really sluggish after it wakes up for a minute or two?
Is there any solution to this? It kills my main use case of the tablet (pick it up when I want to look at something in a pinch, and put it away when I'm done).
I'm on official ROM, rooter but not unlocked. This has been happening with the previous firmware versions as well.
I had the same problem for a while... most of the time I woke the tablet from sleep it'd be very sluggish.
I noticed that this happens when the wifi disconnected during sleep... it would have to reconnect and therefore all the services that required wifi would all start at the same time, throttling the system.
Turns out its the special setting in ASUS Customized Settings, "Disconnects network during sleep" that was causing this. It does exactly what it says, suspends network-related tasks when the screen goes off and resumes on screen on.
I initially turned this on because i was worried network tasks would drain my battery on sleep, but there doesn't really seem to be much of a performance difference with it on or off. So I'm leaving it off for now.

Hmm, I disabled that with the same battery concerns, but I'll give it a shot, thanks!

Also try a clean boot.
Hold down the volume down and power button when you power it on from cold. Let it go through the next screen without touching and it will clear cache automatically.
This does help as well anyway.
It's probably still quicker than most of us after we wake up..... Have you tried coffee?
Try turning off all bloatware. Mine used to be incredibly sluggish when waking up, and when I checked it turned on about 25-ish apps everytime i woke it up. Rubbish like Google Now, Talk, Gallery, etc. This slows the poor thing down to an insane level. Turned off all the random crap I would never use anyway, did a coldboot (sbdags describes the process up one post ^) and now it's instantly awake.
