Do you have to manually update the time and date if the battery runs out? My time and date has been reset.
I have had the same thing happen to me several times. If the battery completely runs out, you have to manually reset the time I think.
I've never let my battery run completely down, but there are several apps in the market that will keep your clock synced via NTP.
I have mine setup to sync whenever it sees wifi after a reboot and that seems to work well.
thanks - I wasn't sure if ntp was built into the kernel but my clock didn't update so I guess an app is the way to go.

this morning i updated juice defender and i have hard time telling if it really is working or not
this was my setting and my result from before update;
x2.36; apn for 2min every 30min, leave apn enabled while>10kb/30s, keep apn disabled while battery's below 15%, leave apn enabled while screen on
after the update all settings are the same except now there's an option to turn on 3g only after the screen has been unlocked, which i have enabled and the widget is only showing about x1.3 or so
also every time i press the power button to unlock the screen, on the status bar, 3g is on already. before the update there was no 3g symbol on the bar until the screen came on.
so is juice defender working or not???
Did you run the juicedefender after the update?
After I updated mine, I re-opened the app and it did a scan in my phone.
I think it works perfectly fine... I managed a 20hours before charging my phone again.
I installed this for a customer and it was different, scanned the phone then told me there was no root access so it was limited. It then didn't seem to work, and the toggle APN widget didnt work either.

Yeah, I updated mine and the toggle APN widget died, but I re-attached it to my homescreen, and it's working now... I do kinda feel my battery life is not as good, but it's going to be different day to day anyway, so it's really hard to tell exactly.
BTW - did you notice there were 2 updates shortly after eachother. are you on 1.6.9 or 1.6.8
Ok, correction - the widget was working again, but it's certainly not now...
update - it's been few days now and i think it's working fine (i think)
i mean the x number widget isn't at just 1.00 any more, although it is pretty erratic - sometimes and x2+ sometimes x1.8ish and such
o well, the battery seems to drain less now, maybe that quick second update fixed some issues, thx all
I went back to the old version. I think it's better.

Works fine for me.

For me the updated version works as good as the old version. During the night Juicedefender turns 3G of which results in 0% drain. Using Juiceplotter I see just a straight horizontal line during the night.
It seems to me that the new version forces a full phone auto-sync at the prescribed interval of 15min. So i have a few accounts on my phone, 1 is an exchange email work account. I only have it set up to sync once a day as I really don't' need immediate email notification but want my calender in sync for the next day.
Since the new version came out it sync's every 15min! this is very annoying as the old version did not seem to do that. I have disabled juice defender and its back to normal. sync once a day.
Does anyone know how to disable the auto-sync? This used to be a great app.
Same problem here. Syncing when off works fine (1 set it to 1 hour), but everytime I turn on the screen it forces a full sync. This eats all my battery and I'm *not* happy with JuiceDefender.
Anyone got a solution by now?

Hi, just a quick post to ask anyone who's using the "WiFi off when screen off" setting whether they're finding that some of their widgets don't update properly after the transformer is woken up?
Behavior I had seen (prior to the 0213 update?) was that you could use this mode.. when you first wake your TF you'd see "No internet connection" for a few moments, with the wifi kicking in shortly after, followed by your widgets all updating as required.. (assuming their update schedule might have meant they attempted to update while the wifi was asleep and failing naturally)..
..well now, I'm seeing that they aren't all updating in the same situation now.. most notably the Asus email client and widget (connecting to Gmail via exchange settings)
I'd rather use this WiFi mode if possible, because as far as I've seen it really does make a difference to standby battery life (say, when its not being used over night) compared to leaving WiFi always on or remembering to switch on Airplane mode (which I'm not sure wouldn't cause the same problems)
Any thoughts gratefully appreciated
The widgets that require Wifi? Unless the widget has this option that makes it update automatically when you turn screen on, it will be refreshing at a timed interval (depends on widget). So it isn't a bug.
Yeah, I know that but waited for the refresh interval to pass and still no update. I also tried to get the email app and widget to update by marking one of my emails as Unread on another device (and waiting for the change to propagate) the exchange 'push' email should've forced my email to update (the point of push email?) but it didn't.. I also went into the email app and manually selected update which just resulted in the progress circle spinning for minutes on end before I gave up and rebooted the TF - on restarting, everything updated just fine...
I should add that setting WiFi to never sleep meant that push email and everything worked fine (e.g. setting emails to unread and watching the push email work as expected)
ok, well on my TF at least can pretty much confirm that the Asus email app crashes and must be forced to stop if you try and use if after waking the tablet up - this is using the 'wifi off when screen off' mode... anyone else noticed this?
Well, ended up logging a support ticket with Asus.. apparently the 3.1 update coming shortly fixes issue with WiFi Off when screen off causing problems with certain apps.
Guess we shall just have to see, here's hoping
..Another day another post (for anyone who's reading).. Looks like Asus were as good as their word, and after the 3.1 FOTA their app (and widget) now refreshes properly after the device is woken from standby (using "WiFi off when Screen off" to preserve battery life)
The Gmail widget is gone for many of us and until a fix arrives, at least this will work now
So I know that there's been talk about recovery not being able to get the correct date and time, but if you put your phone into airplane mode, turn off the phone and turn it back on, (and leave airplane mode on) you'll see the phone default to April 18, 1970, which indicates that the clock has reset.
At least that's what happens in CM10.0.0 and all previous CM builds I've tried. If I recall correctly this was also an issue on the Stock builds.
This is of course a huge pain in the ass, since any time the battery dies and you plug it in, the device boots up, has a date of 1970-April-19 for a good 15 seconds before picking up time from the network. Which means that alarms think they've been missed and go off, and any titanium backups that are scheduled go off as well.
(And this also happens every time you turn off your phone on a flight, for the same reasons.)
So I'm assuming that whether there is a clock or not...it just doesn't work.
Can we at least have a way to put the UTC system time at shut down into a file on /data or /sdcard that's read at startup? Such that if system time < time in file, use the time in the file.
I know this is ass backwards, but in the case there isn't actually a persistent RTC/hwclock on the device, we need some way to get an approximation of the time when the network or ntp isn't available.
I have two spare batteries as battery life. Sometimes when I switch them it will rest the date/time. I've installed Clocksync from the market to auto sync with a time server on boot. It may still happen every now and then but I don't see it because Clocksync does it's thing before I notice.
Anyone else seeing this? I googled it and seems other people have been seeing it. My will jump ahead by 6 hours, if I reboot its fine again. Any fixes for it?
The only thing that springs to mind is that your Date & Time settings are wrong. Have you checked your time zone is correct? Have you switched on Automatic Date & Time?
My N5 Marshmallow loses time
I've seen this since I updated to Marshmallow. My N5 steadily loses time. Rebooting fixes it, but it starts again.
Googling, I found others with the same issue. One of the fixes suggested - of disabling Battery Optimisation for apps that work with the clock - worked for me and for a week my N5 kept perfect time.
Today after some apps autoupdated, it's started losing time again - 2 minutes in the last hour. I have to figure out the offending app and disable Battery Optimisation for it.
It's frustrating, because I like Battery Optimisation. It improves my battery life unbelievably. But losing time is not acceptable, as I rely on my phone notifications for appointments and calls.
I hope Google releases an update soon.
It looks like its an old bug so I wouldn't hold my breath.
