This has bugged me forever, and I've never seen anyone else talk about it, and it's a difficult/impossible thing to search for. If you turn your screen off while docked, then close the netbook, does your screen turn on? Mine does. my screen timeout is set to 5 minutes (since I use it like a laptop) so this is annoying as it drains an extra 5 minutes of battery. Anyone figured out a fix for this?

mine was doing that all last week and it was killing my batterylife so that i would have 0 in dock and 60 in tab at the end of the day vs my normal 60in dock 100 in tab. i just reflashed revolver and rebooted a couple times and it seemed to have fixed the problem
It definitely is annoying, I agree. One thing that I've been doing is making sure the screen is on before I close the lid. At this point it has become second nature for me to do that when I stop using my tablet, and as such less annoying.
Still, a permanent fix would be nice.

I've reflashed many times and this issue has existed for as long as I can remember (back when I originally bought the device). No amount of reboots has helped, unfortunately...

Holy ****. This is fixed in CM9. It only took a year and unofficial developers to get it done. Now, to try to untrain my muscle memory from turning the screen on every time I close the device...

Hmmm, I do not have this issue on ICS (revolver). Did you have it in ICS as well?

Every since I've rooted the battery in this phone reminds me of my galaxy nexus and that's the reason I sold my galaxy nexus. I have tryed synergy ROM and cm10 with same results. Every 2 mins it drops a percent. I miss the battery life without the phone being rooted.

Might just be a defective battery.

root alone wouldn't do this, synergy rom/CM10 might - if you want to "go back" you should only simply have to flash a stock root rom again.
you should probably verify that the screen is turning off, or check the battery life statistics under settings. It could be a bad battery calibration perhaps? Probably should let the battery run down/charge up to calibrate (not sure if that's how it really works on phones but it works for laptops)
Yeah when I charged yesterday it only took a hour and a half from 0-100 I ran it down today to O and charged up again took 3 hours this time and its not dropping as fast very weird.

You can try BetterBatteryStats to find out what if anything is draining battery.
Did you try to factory reset your phone? You probably need to return stock ROM first.
I oded factory 2 days ago

Sounds like a bad battery because when I rooted battery was the same and since the unlock battery has gotten even better! Kind of scary if you think about it.

My was doing that also. I use Synergy 1.7 now and use setcpu and have presets with screen off max 348 min 348 and I get killer battery. I also charge my phone when it is powered down. If you charge at night with the power on the phone stops charging at 100% so you may lose 8%. Your phone will do a trickle down to catch up to the normal reading. So you will lose 1% every couple minutes when you are on it till it catches itself. Yesterday I had tow hours and twenty six minutes of screen time with 13hrs on the battery and still had 46% battery.

The general rule of thumb is that a Rom usually takes anywhere between 3 - 5 battery cycles before they Rom settles down and the battery normalizes

not bad
I could use some help here...I have been on Turge's Viper ROM for the last few weeks and getting fantastic battery life (increasingly better with each time I charge the battery). Well, today I took my phone off the charger and it has now dropped from fully charged to 80% in just an hour and 1/2, with very light to no usage, and mainly on Wi-Fi. The only thing that I can think of that is different is that I just got a new router. Is it possible that a new router could somehow be impacting battery life? I have not changed any of my wi-fi settings or other settings, really just been "business as usual" with this sudden battery drain.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for what could be causing this and how to fix it, please comment!

Hi,
I was here not so long ago with a battery issue. Now I'm back with a somewhat different problem with the same battery.
This morning when I started my TR101 (undocked), it indicated 0% pad battery and went off again. (Last night I loaded it up to 100% and closed it down.)
When I restarted it with the adapter in, it started up at around 3%, and in no time (just a few minutes) it was at 100%.
I took the adaptor out, and the battery went fast down. In about 10 minutes it was back at 5%. Reloading again, and in the same short time it was back at 100%. The adapter did not get warm at all, so the battery was not really charging imho. The indication of the battery simply was wrong.
When this phenomenon started to repeat, I docked the pad at 100%, and everything went fine. The pad battery stayed at 100% and the dock battery slowly unloaded, as normal.
A cold reboot did nothing helpful. Known problem?

Also interested in this topic. Have 3 tf101's one with the same issue. Now ordered a new battery because the pad is already of age and has almost been daily charged.
Hope also to get more feedback from the community.

I've seen a similar problem with a Nexus 7, and it was fixed by replacing the battery. I guess the first thing I'd try would be to discharge the battery completely (make sure it really doesn't power on even if it says 0%), disconnect it physically from the device, wait a couple of minutes then connect it back in. Then let it go to full charge before you turn on the device (you can know if it's docked).
I would be willing to buy a new battery. They are for sale widely, including instructions, but I would like to do some test first. The apps I see in Play either require root permission or do the same as any widget.
How do I know the battery is faulty? This happened overnight.

@Chinaboy: What is "of age"? Mine is almost 2 years old and has been loaded roughly every two days, so say 300-350 times.

Awesome, thanks for the update. I was hoping a new one would be the ticket for ya.
I did it too, after collecting some courage, and yes, problem solved after changing the battery.
I found the whole process a hell of a job, but I succeeded.

I thought the battery would last longer as the dock had extra battery, but it drains quicker than if I use the tablet just on its own
Any body figure how to make battery last longer with the tablet connected to the dock
Thanks

Are you using the stock ROM? Make sure that you dont have "Wake on Keypress" or anything similar enabled.

Will it press any key when you close it with the dock, I'm also using a cover for both of them

It should be in settings under something like keyboard settings or perhaps display settings.

Try installing a battery monitor and see what is wakelocking your tablet when the dock is plugged in.
Which one you recommend, I'm using the tablet in its own now for the battery reason

I used to use GSAM, but there are plenty of alternatives.
Using gsam as well will connect the dock and then report
