I have a Gtab with TnT Lite 2.2.0, and its been asleep for approximately 24 hours. When I slept the display yesterday, the battery was at 92%. Just woke it up, and now its 52%.
I slept it via a quick press of the power button on the side. Should I long press and then select 'Sleep'? Seems like the WiFi was definitely off, when it woke up it had to reconnect to the wireless. Its been awhile since I messed with Android, my last device was a G1, and I'm not sure if it lights up the WiFi when its asleep. My battery use is WiFi - 45%, Device idle - 44%, Android System - 10%, Display - 2%.
Does this sound normal battery drain?
Sounds normal to me. I went from 75 to 34 overnight, just sitting unplugged.
If you're running TnT Lite, don't let the battery get to low... Mine got low, started a FC loop and I lost everything. Guess it's time to start over
This drain is why I want to see if getting SetCPU or similar apps working would help keep screen off battery use down to a minimum. It may or may not work, there may be other apps and things we could try, something to really shut down all the extraneous running junk.
Mine loses about 4%/hour in sleep mode. But I have the problem with my unit where it won't "wake up" once I put it to sleep (detailed all I've tried to fix this on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855821).
Even though it won't wake up, it still burns about 4%/hour in sleep mode.
To work around the "it won't wake up" I use regpon wifikeepalive from the market which prevents the cpu from totally disengaging. I also use CPUBoost from the market to set the cpu to 216000 when the screen is off. Doing this should still result in higher battery drain than if the unit slept properly but in my experience it does not, it still drains at about 4% an hour.
My Archos 101 however does not behave like this. When sleeping it drains at a rate of about 1% every 2 hours. Whereas the GTablet will die in sleep mode in about 25 hours, the Archos could stay alive for about 200 hours!
I did some testing with the two, using DDMS (part of Android SDK). Oddly, when the Archos is "sleeping" the USB port is still active and I can get logging out of it, whereas the GTablet shuts down the USB port (odd becuase its the GTablet which is burning battery). The Archos does seem to log its power down/power up elegantly from what I can tell...I can't tell anything about the GTablet because it shuts down the USB port for debugging. Log2SD on the Gtablet doesn't really tell me much either.
There is something very wrong with the power management stuff on this chipset/or on the GTablet. This is definitely something that would be good to see addressed at some point. Having a tablet that can stay away from the wall charger for a week (Archos) is definitely nicer than having one that you have to put on a charger nightly.
Can anyone else report what their battery drain is like while the unit is sleeping?

If you run dmesg (either via ADB shell or via Terminal Emulator) you'll probably see lots of wake-sleep-wake-sleep activity going on while it's supposedly asleep. At least I've seen that with Vegan ROM.
Also, just because your Wifi was asleep when you woke up the G Tablet doesn't in my experience mean it was really asleep the whole time.
As an experiment, I'd suggest you charge up your G Tablet, then manually turn off Wifi and try sleeping it overnight. When you wake it up, check the battery usage and compare - I'm guessing it will be significantly lower, but you need to try for yourself.
The power management stuff is definitely still quite beta quality with our kernel and ROMs. I think that's mostly NVidia's fault. To a lesser extent it's a function of support from the ROMs which will improve.

Thanks for the dmesg advice, I'll play with that. I'll try turning off my wake fix hack (regponwifi), turning off wifi, letting it sleep overnight, then restarting it (since it won't wake) in the morning to see if the battery drain goes down and report back here tomorrow.

Mine also drains way too much when sleeping. Right now I'm experimenting with disabling services. Calendar, Gmail, Contacts, Dropbox .. many of these just duplicate what my phone does so I just moved them to bookmarks in a browser.
Something really eats battery when asleep. In comparison my iPad would probably go a month in sleep mode. Whatever Apple is doing with batteries and power management is fantastic.
I'm currently running Vegan 5.1 and hope to switch over to Cyanogen 7 soon. I may try playing with Juice Defender.
So I reflashed last night using Pershoot's new kernel and tntLite 4.21. I've loaded almost nothing back on the unit. I shut down wifi, presed the power button to put the unit to sleep overnight and here's what I saw:
80% @ 12:27am
48% @ 9:18am
So it dropped 32% in almost 9 hours or around 3.5%/hour. Note that it still didn't wake from sleep, I had to reset it. Pershoot posted that he's going to try to put more logging in his kernel to see what is going on with the failure to wake scenario.
Clayfree, I'm not sure this is an Apple vs Android thing, the Archos 101 I have here is Android and it drops battery life MUCH slower than the Gtablet. I think this is more a Gtablet issue. This is going to be an issue for Google, different hardware makes it a much more challenging proposition than what Apple has to deal (one type of hardware that they control).

Yes I agree it's probably not an Apple/Android issue. The only other tablet I have is the iPad so I compare them by default. I do have a Samsung Vibrant that does really well with battery life.
What I will say about Apple is that they are very conscious of battery life and how it shapes our perceptions and usage of their products. With the iPad i NEVER think about the battery and it really affects how I use it. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty I don't like about the iPad and that's why I'm here
When you guys talk about putting the G-Tab to sleep, are you just pressing the power button for a short period to turn off the screen? Is that sleep or just screen off? Because if I hold down the power button to bring up the shutdown options, there is a "Sleep" option that can be selected. Are these two the same mode, or two different things?
I'm talking about both methods, I believe they are the same thing. I've observed similar results using either method, namely that my tablet won't wake up.
I will run another test at some point using the sleep option.
One interesting thing to note is my Archos 101 has a "deep sleep" option too on the power button hold. Not sure what this means, and why this isn't an option on a Gtab.

That's a good question. I just press the button. I have not tried using the sleep command.
I'm really worry about this... I use Current Widget to get the battery consumption and is SO high! much more than any of my Android phones in Airplane mode...
Any solution? I tried TnT rom and Vegan... and it's the same!
Thanks!!
Is anybody seeing heavy battery loss during standby mode?
On average my TF is losing between 3.5 and 5% battery in standby mode. I have done a few tests with and with out airplane mode and it does not change.
I currently have an RMA setup with ASUS but I dont want to have to send it back and wait 14 days, so I wanted to reach out here first.
Thanks in advance,
Brandon
Every device I've ever owned has lost power during standby. That's the tradeoff. Otherwise, you could, you know...turn it off?
Windows has that nice "hibernate" hybrid.
It's totally not worth an RMA...don't let your OCD win.
There are a few processes that run in the background like Android OS, WiFi, keyboard etc. It needs to be reactive to certain signals so it can't be off completely. The iPad has amazing stand-by times but I don't know why. I just saw it when I borrowed one for a day from a friend.
I would NOT RMA my device unless it's a significant drop in battery life (>10%/h); it's just the way it is mate!
But what I realized is after I rooted, installed SetCPU and set the governor to ondemand the battery life has increased significantly. It idles at 216MHz now.
mine doesn't have a great standby time either, pretty bad actually when you compare it to my xoom. however its an issue that should be fixed with a software update and it shouldn't require an rma.

Check if you have your Wifi on sleep also?? Depending on number of applications that you use for updating it might be using your battery.
There are a number of other threads already discussing the issue of battery life in standby, but here's my conclusion: the TF has an issue with wifi that if you set it to stay on while the TF's screen is off (a setting in the wifi section of system settings), it burns quite a bit of battery while on standby. If you set it to turn off when the screen is off, then it doesn't.
I know this is a bug with the TF because the Xoom does not exhibit this behavior. It burns less than .5%/hour when on standby with wifi set to stay on when the screen is off. The TF gets this same performance (<.5%/hour burn) on standby only if wifi is set to turn off. Otherwise, I'm getting the same as you: around 3.5%/hour burn rate.
I'm assuming that the TF's wifi just doesn't enter whatever low-power state it's supposed to enter while on standby. My second assumption is that this is something that will get fixed in an update.

I just turn on airplane mode when I know it is going to sit, and it burns about 1% an hour.

Is there an adjustment for the Wifi and/or app settings. In general the second or third largest power consumer in these devices is the radios. The radio needs to be powered up whenever a connection needs data. This can be for keep alive messages that verify the existence of a wifi connection to an access point, or from an app such as gmail, calendar, etc. checking for new data. In any case there may be settings that allow one to decrease the frequency of these operations.

FYI, I did a few tests with airplane mode on and I was still losing around 3.5%-5% battery life.
I did do a few more tests, and my most recent test I found interesting.
I use my TF as usual and had a few applications running, I then turned off the screen and let it sit for an hour and 4% battery life was used.
Then I powered down my TF fully, then I powered it back up and turned off the screen. (Currently the TF is up and running but no applications have been opened aside from backround apps Syncing).
I put the TF into standby (turned off the screen) at 1:37 am and I had 53% battery life.
I checked on the TF in the morning at 8:51am, and I had 51% battery life.
So in just over 7 hours my TF only used 2% battery life in standby which is a very acceptable range.
Conclusion, what ever apps we are opening and using under normal use are not being fully closed out, and are running in the backround, not the backround services as per the airplane mode test.
I will do a few more tests tommorrow, I hope this helps and I look forward to others feedback!

Brandon - Please check out yours with wifi set to turn off when the screen is off. In all of my testing (similar to yours), that made the difference between great standby performance (<.5%/hour) and not-so-great (3.5%/hour or more). Nothing else seemed to matter, including manually turning off just about every app that normally runs in the background and verifying that they stayed off.
Hopefully soon Asus will also fix the battery stats bug so that we can see what apps/system components are actually using power on standby. Or they'll just fix wifi so that it sleeps as it should.

I have already done the tests with WIFI turned off and also with the TF in Airplane Mode.
So far the only time I have gotten great standby time was when I rebooted my TF and did not open any applications. (WIFI was on FYI)
Brandon
so, the last two night i've gotten great result from stand by mode. The first night i went and killed couple of programs, before putting in AP mode for the night. 12:45 am till 9:00 am from 78% 75%. Last night at 12:00am had 34% this morning at 8:00 it dropdown to 32%.
I took a screenshot of the battery usage after waking up in the morning. Wifi was left on with the sleep policy set to sleep on screen off. It seems to turn back on intermittently but the awake bar seems to happen more often the longer it is in sleep. Is that meant to happen? What does awake signify? That the screen is on?
background data probably running in the background
like weather updates to it to refresh every 4 hours or something
its weird though, towards the right theres like 2 times where the device is awake for long periods of time :S

Would you try "Task killer" for decreasing battery loss?
My battery seems to be dying alot quicker now I have the dock. Hopefully a new firmware will come out that'll lower the battery consumption of the dock when its in standby.
Hi
I do nont know but i have strange feeling that after 3.2 update my transformer drains more power. I mean the battery is draining faster than before the patch? Have you noticed similar thing? (i do not have the docking station)
I seem to be seeing that as well, and the wifi signal seems to be weaker. Not sure if I want to put in a problem report.
Wifi signal is weaker for me too, but the battery's been just fine.
I noticed also that the standby battery wasn't as good on 3.2 for me compared to 3.1. After messing around with the device for a while I found that even when the battery saving mode was checked, the keyboard wouldn't wake up the transformer but a touch of the trackpad did. I thought that there might be some background service that was stopping the transformer from going into deep sleep so I used advanced task killer to kill everything and the device would go into deep sleep. Also, I read on another forum that it might be a syncing service for picasa. I turned that off, killed everything using advanced task killer again and battery life now is equivalent to what I got in 3.1.
I feel my batterie last longer. But I have to measure it first.
I've done some (informal) tests, and I'm getting about .5%/hour consumption on standby after 3.2, where I was getting about 2%/hour consumption on 3.1 and earlier. This is just the tablet, mind you.
So, 3.2 has significantly improved the situation for me. I haven't really measured in-use as closely, but it seems pretty much the same (which is about 10%/hour consumption if I'm really using it).

My Wifi is very good
The battery is good
My wifi has improved by a bar and the battery seems a little bit better. But that's only if I don't struggle with trying to get on wifi.
Maybe during use but if anything my standby time is longer.
Battery seems the same to me, as does wifi.

That has been my experience also.
After 3.2 mine seems to be draining the battery quicker with wifi on & surfing. I might get 4 hours of continuous surfing if that.
Me too, last night I have 95% of battery before switch off to the standby mode (screen off with the wifi sleep), but this morning TF has just 72%.
I am now testing it. I switch off the wifi function first, then switch off to the standby mode.
My friend also notices this problem after upgrade to 3.2...he said 52% to 17% just one night sleeping...wow...what a unbelivable report!
Look at the battery use reports on your settings and see what is taking up a good chunk of your battery life besides screen and wi-fi and you may find a problem. For me, I saw that Google Maps took up 25% of my battery and I only used it for five minutes (it said that it was on for over two hours). I tried force closing and nothing worked until I uninstalled the updates for it and haven't turned it on. Now my battery life is much better. You may also want to check applications that are turning your wi-fi on to update themselves, like e-mail and facebook apps, etc.
Check for Google latitude. It appears to keep GPS running even when TF turned off.
I am on 3.2 since yesterday (Belgium) with B6 dock.
Fully loaded and half a day later in standby 63%.
On 3.1 this would have been 83%.
Battery drain is much greater on 3.2 on my TF!
(Damn, I hate the keyboard lagg whilst typing this)
Mine has been better since the update and I have the ****ty B4O dock. I charged mine on Sunday then went on vacation with it Monday, on way home now and only charged it once on Thurs one the dock finally drained and the tab was down to 60%. Seems like they did something to help as that was unseen before, I had to charge it daily.
I also notice faster battery drain after the 3.2 update.
when I went to bed last night: Tablet 97%, Dock 72%.
This morning (about 9 hours): Tablet is the same, Dock 30%. WTH???
I noticed it today. I leave my dock on the Transformer even when its off and folded. I used it a few times to in the span of 2 days tying into a journal. Today the dock was at 3% Screen at 98. Im guessing its feeding power to the screen. The only settings i have different is screen always on. I shut the screen down when im done using it, or set the Transformer aside or off.
After using my transformer for a couple of months, the battery life amazed me the most. With about 9-10 hours battery and a couple of days sleep time which was very convenient. Also charging time was very fast.
But after updating to 3.2, I've noticed that when I leave the transformer on sleep like I usually do after using it, it would drain to 0% by the end of the day when usually it would only drain like 1-5% before updating it. I checked the processes and it doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary, and I haven't installed any new applications since the 3.2 update.
Anyone else having this kind of problem?
I have the same problem
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
I came online to search for the exact same problem if anyone else had. And seems I am not the only one.
Now do you have the keyboard dock as well or just the tablet itself?
My case is that when I have both (tablet and keyboard) fully charged at 100% it will drain out in 18-24 hours whether I use it or not.
Under Location & Security make sure "Use wireless networks" is unchecked - that fixed it for me in 3.2

Going to give this a try, as Im having this issue as well.
I found that putting the device into airplane mode stopped the battery drain, even though I had bluetooth disabled already, and WiFi policy was set to off when screen is off. Will see how it goes with "Use Wireless Networks" disabled in location settings.
Alternatively, I may write a small app that puts the device into airplane mode when the screen has been off for more than a couple minutes (and disables airplane mode when the screen is turned on)
I have this issue too.
I had mine docked into the keyboard. left it closed and went to work.
When I came back home late, I saw the tablet with 90+% battery and the dock at almost 0%.
Might be the same issue as you guys.
What I did is set the wifi policy to off when screen off.
and I tried again to leave it in the same situation.
Charged it full at night. left it overnight, woke up went to work, and came back. and I checked. Both are still way above 90%.
It makes a big difference for me. =)
I got the battery at 66% this morning and now after no use it was at 18%! I was about to throw my tf out of the window!

I have done all this yet the drain continues. When I compare the battery drain of my tf101 with my HP touchpad, there is simply no comparison. There is virtually no drain even if I leave my touchpad uncharged for more than a day. On the other hand, my tf discharges battery when closed with the dock as if I am using it.
What gives?
Factory reset helped mine. 14 hours 81% with 3 hours of straight use.

I got a huge battery drain today again, got my battery from 57 to 3 on the dock and from 100 to 88 on the tablet with less then 10 hours, just for comprasion I got only 7% down on the dock over night (like 9-10 hours) just this morning. when i checked battry use today I saw 63% used by wifi, this wasn't like this in the morning and all I did is just checked my email and sent it back to sleep, that's annoying as hell, i barely use it and it keeps on dying really fast..
Same here indeed the wifi policy set to never sleep-->Big drain wifi policy set to when screen off-->drain very little

It doesn't seem like the power button on the tablet works as well as the one on the dock. If docked, I only lose about %1 per hour.
I've noticed that if I use the one on the tablet, the screen will go dark, but sometimes the tablet doesn't sleep (verified via the battery status). I have the screen set to never timeout and the Wifi set to turn off. Bluetooth set to off.
The tablet lock button seems to be the most reliable and I always get about %1/hour drain when I use that button. Might be just a coincidence.
Is there are "real" sleep mode that we can access? It seems like sleep mode doesn't really sleep, it just shuts down certain items (the screen, bluetooth/wifi). I'm talking about like an S3 state where power is cut to the processor and the only the memory is keep.
If there is a real sleep, it seems like the device has a choice. I want a "Go to the Fok to Sleep" button!

I did this and it worked for about an hour (cpu spy) but then something woke the tablet and it never went back to deep sleep and wiped out the dock battery in about 4 hours. If I turn wifi off standby life is good. However I woud really like to keep the wifi on and get good battery life.
This working consistently for you?
I was ready to replace my dock. This worked like a charm. I went from 1-5% per hour in sleep to <.5% per hour.
I just figured it out this week. I was running WEP at home and this prevents both of my android devices from sleeping like they should. I know I shouldn't be running WEP but neighbor is wide open so I was too lazy to change. Open and WPA allowed sleep on both devices about 80% of the time in standby and big improvement in battery life. Still keeping my eye on it but difference was immediately noticeable with cpu spy.

After further review it appears it wasn't WEP. All was well until I put my laptop and computer back on wifi then both infuse and transformer had inconsistent sleep. I disconnected computers and both android devices sleep again. Updated my router firmware but no improvement. Any ideas?
Update: I believe my router is doing this. Works fine until I connect other wireless devices then drains. There are sporadic reports of this in other forums for dlink dir-655.

After 3.2.1 or possibly the Maps update, my wifi stopped powering on after sleep. It would start and stop, even airplane mode would not break the cycle. Frustrated, I turned the location setting back on, reinstalled maps and left it undocked. Woke up this morning. 98% battery. Arg. WTF is going on? This is maddening. The dock drain seems to fluctuate between 8-40% in 8 hours and I get 2% undocked? Is the dock the issue (that would suck).
I'm docking it again tonight. Maybe it was reinstalling maps? This is really frustrating. With 3.2.1 the browser is stable, Skype video now is going. This is the last issue with TF before I can strongly recommend it to my friends.
I am getting some nasty battery drain now too. Approx 30% overnight with wifi off. Im very happy that skype works though.

I've had an HTC One Mini for about 6 months now and haven't any real problems. Last night, it decided to stop vibrating completely. After two restarts and a knock on its back, the motor seems to be working again, but it is running warm and the charge is plummeting. Just sitting on my desk it lost 40% charge in just over 2 hours and it's running warm. I've had the issue in the past where Android System was using a lot of power, but it's not being reported as anything significant this time, neither is any other app.
Better Battery Stats CPU states has 1.4GHz for 1h58m, 1.03GHz for 29m, and nothing else significant. This is from charged to current while I am at 49% battery. Screen has only been on 12m in that time, but it has been awake the entire time. The battery is at 34C in a cool room.
I'm running CyanogenMod version 11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-m4, which is Android 4.4.4. Nothing changed that I know of when the problems started.
I just noticed that the vibration is now weaker than it normally is (and was earlier today), still working, but weaker.
Any ideas?
download wakelock detector and let it run in the background for about an hour. Then check it to see which program or service is keeping your phone awake. Once you find it, kill it and wait another 15-20 minutes and check the power stats within your settings to see if the phone has stayed awake since then or not.
