[Q] Seeing battery usage details?

Wondering why this information is not available, is this a Honeycomb 3.0.1 issue or a TF issue?
Will this be available with the upcoming 3.1 update?

It's a TF issue (e.g., the Xoom has the correct info). We can only hope it's fixed in the next update.

i did have the same question, but i guess it has more to do with the fact that transformer has 2 batteries instead of one

I first thought that the problem was the missing dock? Basically the system has to report on 2 batteries. And the OS is customized to expect 2 batteries, but as far as I understand, even when you attach the dock, the result is still the same?
Anyone with a dock, can you confirm?

Only details you will get is when you click on the graph. Let me find the thread where I saw that~!
EDIT: here's the link to the post: Click!

it still does not show a detailed view of each program and process power consumption, like the one you get in gingerbread.

Nope. I never claimed that. On the XOOM you get all these details but ASUS is apparently still working on the implementation.

Wi-Fi power drain?

Maybe just new to the tablet but.. Wi-Fi sucks battery like no tomorrow. Maybe it's the battery monitor built in that doesn't read it right but when Wi-Fi is using 70-80% of the battery (by far bearing screen). Just curious if anyone else has the same thing. Get great battery time with it as long as I'm not paying with it, and in standby it uses next to nothing. Just when on the Wi-Fi goes into overdrive.

My understanding is that the built-in battery monitor just isn't accurate....

Ok cool. I figured that was the case just as it is with my phone. Just had an older phone that was really accurate so just use to that.

Anyone found a way to display notification area battery remaining as a %?

Would love to be able to do this without a 3rd party app (such as GSam). Any tips would be most appreciated.
Cheers,
Mike.

I know you don't want a third party app but every time I recommend "Battery Widget? Reborn! Beta" people love it.

Download the Cooltool app. It displays remaining Battery percentage amongst more important stats.

Yeah, I've been pretty happy with the features of those ROMs on the phone . However, I understand that the builds aren't quite 'there' yet for the tf700. Using CleanROM atm, which is running like a champ, but could do with a few customisations.

Cheers, Seems pretty similar to GSam Battery monitor which I am using. Would like to minimise 3rd party apps if at all possible though. I don't mind using apps, of course, but if it can be themed into the ROM then would rather not have redundancy.

Have you found a way to put the graph over the notification bar? The widget is blocked by the notification bar on my tab.

The developer of the app told me that it's a Jelly Bean issue. I know it worked fine with ICS.

Nevermind.

This one wont shot the percentage in the notification area, but I figured someone might like it.
Dual Battery Widget
It will show the power levels for the Pad's battery and the dock's. If you unplug the dock, it will remember the last power level the dock had and show you that percentage, but will let you know they arent connected anymore.

Why is wifi killing my battery

I'm on stock jelly bean and only getting just under 3 hours of screen on time. This is horrible and besides screen drain I'm getting most of the other drain from wifi. Anyone know whats going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Edit. After Google I see it's a known issue

Try killing off Google maps if it's running.
Shut blue tooth and GPS off if not using them.
These couple of things might help.

One thing to know and remember: The percentage mentioned is not how much of your battery it uses, it's how much of the current battery usage belongs to the app/component.
Running any live wallpapers? Auto brightness? Which power-setting mode? Location services?

i am having the exact same issue, balanced mode, 35% brightness, no gps, bluetooth on etc and having only 3 hours on screen? Unfair because this tablet is perfect other then that

I would assume it's normal, it might use more than it's supposed to but wifi and screen will usually be the worst sinners, depending on what use of course.

Thanks bud. It's definitely not normal. After doing research I come to find out its a problem with Asus code. Wifi should never be anywhere close to being reported by the battery use stats. Hopefully we will see a fix sooner or later

If I am not mistaken an update came out either yesterday or today that had the WiFi issues noted in the changelog. Check the ASUS website.

Anyone had a random reboot on the latest 4.2.1 update?

Hello everyone, I have tf300 with 4.2.1 rooted and busybox installed
It had been amazing but just today, I got a random reboot when I was watching videos with YouTube app.
This isn't a thread where someone goes "baaaaaaaaaaaa somethings wrong!!! Someone help" but I just want to know whether or not it's a problem with my tablet (maybe a bad flash or something) or it is an actual firmware problem.
Thanks!

Yours seems to be worse than mine. I've been running my tablet on 4.2.1 for quite a time now but this is the first time... Maybe it is the bad flash. Used to happen on ICS on my first TF300 (Exchanged it). I guess I'll wait another day or so and see if the problem persists or it's one time thing.

Yea seems to be get it quite often not sure why. Was on all stock when updated got it ota then unlocked the bootloader so not sure why was thinking of sending it back to newegg for and exchange but they're slow as all hell put in for an rma earlier this week like monday they're supposed to send me the shipping label haven't gotten it yet. Was printed already its only good for 7 days by the time it gets here will be no good. Figures. Would rather find a way to fix it maybe ill try a reflash like you mentioned.
Also didn't mention bought it as refurb which may have been the original issue prior to them reselling it. Who knows.

This random reboot might be just Android not getting upgraded properly now I think about it... Just keep hoping that it isn't my tablet hardware that's having a problem Lol

Your not the only one gonna try to reinstall the update when its a good time to go through the whole process of setting it back up. Was gonna root it any way so no point to get an exchange if can be fixed. If send it to asus theres a chance they can repair it and lose unlock bootloader and not be able to regain it happened to a couple people on here. When i try it will repost if anything changes.

You to thanks wouldn't have thought of trying until talked to you. Pretty sure fixed it usually rebooted at least once if not twice a day. None yet today. Can actually enjoy using it now. Ota really screwed it up glad don't have to send it back to newegg. Although didn't sound like yours had as bad of issue should probably fix it. Good luck.
Trust me I've been testing it now that i got the shipping label need to know by monday if really need to send it back which would suck it's my only pc right now.

Glad I found this, my totally stock machine is also now having random reboots....I see people re-installing the update.
Care to share how please....might help might not but willing to give it a shot
Thanks

I got a random reboot today whilst going through the painful experience of browsing with this tablet. It took about 5 minutes or more to start up again and when it did, the system UI kept crashing which made the tablet hard to use as the message kept popping up. Thereafter, when i tried to reboot using the power settings, it froze. Very frustrating. I was able to sort it by holding the power button to turn it off and then turning it back on. It seems to work fine for now but it's something that shouldn't be happening. I'm stock and unrooted

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Hm... seems like many people are experiencing this? Maybe it is a problem with the firmware itself?

Mine keeps rebooting everyday now and I can't unlock the bootloader because of some "Unknown Error", I'm seriously considering giving RMA a shot then try to sell it if it doesn'tfix the issue...

This was driving me crazy until i realized that every time it rebooted automatic updates were running. Not sure how this happened, maybe corruption caused by play updates running when android updated. Uninstalling the 4 perpetually updating apps and reinstalling seems to have corrected the problem (or it's a lucky coincidence).
I was also having wireless dropouts, not sure how that would be related to updates but seems to have stopped now, possibly the updating process was spinning or using some other resource. I definitely recommend disabling auto updates and seeing if that helps.

I don't think that's causing problems for me as I already disabled it. But for few days, I have not been experiencing random reboot which is good but I don't know why.
