TF700 very sluggish after waking up

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.

[Q] Tasker - Force Fitbit Update on Bluetooth Connect

I have a tasker profile set up to turn on my Bluetooth for 5 minutes every 90 minutes from 6:30am - 10pm each day. The only bluetooth thing i own is my fitbit, which syncs directly to my GS4. However, I noticed that even though my profile turns bluetooth on and off every 90 minutes, it doesn't automatically sync to Fitbit. Is there a way, through tasker, that I can force the update when bluetooth turns on?
Thanks for any help you can give!

Hello, any luck with that? I have the same issue and wasn't able to solve it.

No such luck. I just ended up keeping Bluetooth on all the time and resorted to Juice Defender (which does a pretty good job) to help with battery life.

Too bad... I'll probably resort to create a tasker setting that turns Bluetooth on when I open the fitbit app and turns it off when I exit. Or even just have it automatically open every x minutes and then close it.

I did that too, but it too too long to boot up and then I ended up manually refreshing anyway. I just don't sit there and open my Fitbit app and sit there with it for a few minutes waiting for it to sync.

Did you try to have it do it only when the screen is off and without having it turn the screen on?

I think I set it up to turn bluetooth on every 2 hours for 5 minutes and when that happened, open up the fitbit app and leave that on for 5 minutes, only when the screen was off. However, inevitably, I always ended up turning the phone on when it was in the middle of the 5 minute window and I just got annoyed and scrapped it.

I just set it up to turn bt on for 15 minutes every 45 and nothing else. It seems to work, I have the fitbit widget on the home screen and it is updating even though I haven't accessed the app since this morning.

Nice. Glad you got that working. I'll probably stick with what I've got because I also use Dash along with a bluetooth OBD sensor in my car to monitor my driving and engine health, etc. If I had BT turn on and off, Dash wouldn't work.
Side note, have you ever used Llama?

Ok!
I had used llama once, I think back on gingerbread and wasn't too much into it. Frankly, I don't even remember exactly what it was for! Changing settings based on location maybe? I use tasker for that already, though.

Ok, I'm totally hijacking this thread now, I've used Llama since my old gingerbread phone and it does a great job at 99% of what I want. It's primarily location-based profiles or tasks, but it can also do other things like manage profiles and tasks based on whether a headset is plugged in or other device states.
The thing I can't figure out in Llama (and am trying to figure out in Tasker) is I want my phone to go to silent, with no vibration or sounds overnight, but I want my weather radio app and a few select contacts to be able to ring through. Any idea how to accomplish those exceptions within Tasker?

I'm sorry, it doesn't sound too complicated, but I've never used tasker like that. There must be a tasker thread or subforum on xda, no?

Battery Saving tips? Help!?

I have the droid ultra and was wondering how I could get some extra juice out of my phone? Any help would be appreciated!

1. Turn off Battery Saver under Settings/Battery. This is false hope and more of a placebo. It usually kicks on when you are already really low on battery and it usually just down clocks your CPU and can make your phone sluggish.
2. Turn off Automatic Brightness under Settings/Display/Brightness. When the sensor on your phone reads the light around you, it likes to shift the brightness on your phone from really high to really low. This effects your battery. Turn that option off and leave your phone on half to 1/4 max brightness. 1/2 is usually just fine. You will get used to this brightness.
3. Turn off Location Access. This is probably one the biggest battery wasters out there and you don't need it running all the time. It is located under Settings/Location Access. Turn off or uncheck everything here. If a program needs or wants it on, it will request it when you are using that app. Most of the time it is usually for Google Maps. As you can tell, this also turns off GPS.
4. Let your phone sleep, but not too soon/long! Under Settings/Display click on sleep and change it to 1 or 2 minutes(preferred). Nothing shorter, nothing longer. Nothing longer because if you forget to turn off your screen, you don't want it sitting there for 5
minutes wasting away. Nothing shorter because turning it back on after 15 seconds because you were thinking will only cause the screen to demand more power to get it restarted, thus draining battery.
5. Facebook = Battery Killer. I get it, you love Facebook. That is ok, but your battery doesn't. There is hope though! Open the Facebook app and slide your finger from the left side of the screen to the right side of the screen. Now go all the way down to "App
Settings" and make these changes. #1 Refresh Interval = Never: This will prevent it from waking up your phone/battery and refreshing automatically when the phone is off. When you launch the app, it does this for you, so why have it do it when you are
working/sleeping? Plus you can always manually do this by pulling down on your News Feed. #2 Turn off Messenger location services. You don't really need this on. it likes to activate your GPS(battery hog) and let people know which city you sent that post/message from. Unless you care that people know you are in Butt****, Ohio, you should have this off.
6. Streaming Music kills battery. Do you have 80gb of songs at home on your computer? Then why do you stream Pandora all day? You having unlimited data is not a good excuse. If you can, put all those songs on your SD card/phone and listen to them using Google Play Music app. Buy a bigger SD card if you have to, they are not that expensive. Or just ask Santa.
7. Turn off vibrate on touch/haptic feedback. Usually located under Settings/Sound. That little motor that tickles your finger tips when you touch the screen actually uses a good amount of power. If you are really looking to get the most out of your battery, turn this off. I leave it on because I could always go for a finger tip tickle.
You don't have to use all of those, you can pick and choose if you like. I do. I hope it helps you out. Let me know.
Fun Fact: The takes more power to show the color blue on your screen than any other color.

Yeah, well, you need location services for Google Maps. It's nothing something discrete for just one application. (Meaning, if you turn off location services globally, it turns it off for everything. If you turn it on, you can go into individual apps and see if you can turn off location.) However, you can go into Google Now, menu on the bottom right, settings, Privacy & accounts, Google location settings, and turn off location reporting and location history - unless you really want that in Google Now.

There is no SD card slot in the Droids.

1 - Agreed.
2 - This is mostly preference and will not that huge of effect on your battery. Having the display on the brightest setting will always drain more than the lowest setting, but the auto-brightness changing does not hurt the battery, it's when it sets the brightness high that it does. I have auto-brightness set and I'm doing pretty good.
3 - Location services are only accessed and turned on when requested. For example, when you open maps, or have geotagging enabled on the camera. Just leaving it enabled in general will not be that big a deal.
4 - Mostly preference, but setting it too long can have more detrimental effects than just battery usage. For example: forgetting to lock the phone and shoving it in your pocket while the display is still on can result in apps opening or calls being made.
5 - While you're at it, just quit facebook altogether But seriously, the more "social" apps you have running, the more you have apps waking up the phone and hitting data in the background. Instant messaging can cause battery drain as well. As for me and facebook, I do not have an account at all, so I don't use it, and can't really say if it really is a drain on its own.
6 - Agreed. Either put music on your phone or use the caching available in various services like Spotify. I'm a Spotify premium subscriber and it's totally worth it.
7 - This will have a negligible impact on your battery.
I'll add this: If you're into figuring out what's causing battery drain, install an app that monitors wakelocks. I use Wakelock Detector. Wakelocks are going to be your idle time battery killers and apps that abuse them will cause excessive drain. I'm sitting at 8% awake right now and my battery easily lasts the entire day with around half battery remaining on my Mini. You can find apps to blame for battery drain with an app like this easier than an app that just monitors battery usage.

[Q] Simple Tasker Aim - Just cant work it out

This is literally my last hope. I've tried so hard, but ended up having to come here and ask, which I don't mind, just feels like I suck, because I've given up lol
I have Tasker on my one plus one, and its doing great, I have current set ups doing such as:
Turning on and off WIFI when I like the radius
Headphone music app enables with insertion
Auto SMS for Night and Work
But theres one more.... that I just cant get my freaking head around......
I want Tasker to turn off my Auto-sync and Mobile Data when I turn the screen off, after a 5min wait period.
And then for it to re enable, for 5mins every 1 hour, whenever the screen is off, forever.
And to re enable Mobile data and Auto sync when I turn the screen on.
I am very close to it, but I just cant put everything in the right place to get it to work, although.... saying that, ive never got the Data to turn off in general via a task, so I'm probably screwing most of it up.
I hope someone can help,
Thank you for reading
Alex

Bump.

Could you Export your profile and send it to me? I'll have a look at it.

Still terrible bAttery

I can't believe it, but after the new update I still cannot get a full day on the battery. is this normal with always on?

Not normal. turn auto heart rate off, turn s-voice off, use a dark background to conserve battery while always on, turn on inactive notifications, etc.....

Thanks I turned off some things I turned off everything except Bluetooth but now it doesn't seem to be changing the time or updating the weather for the location I just landed in. Is there something that has to be on besides Bluetooth? Or can I have every single thing off . thank you

Apps have intervals. For example, the heart rate sensor by default is set to 10 min. Imagine the impact that has on the battery. Same with weather. You can set your weather to check every hour but you must turn on your phones GPS. The watch doesn't know where you are if your phone's GPS is off. You pick and choose what notifications you need with intervals while others can be manually updated.
For the most part, I have everything off on my watch except for bluetooth. I manually update weather, heart rate, i dont use voice search on my watch (Google assistant on my phone; ok google), my gear is LTE and I turn that off to save battery, etc... mostly, I use my watch for notifications and answer phone calls when I drive. If your watch isn't changing time while bluetooth is on, you might want to try another watch face because that isn't normal.

I suggest also powering down when you notice rapid battery loss. Some times for no reason after charging overnight, my battery just starts draining fast. Powering down and then up fixes the problem. Also, double check no app is running more than you'd expect. When Samsung updated the Mail app recently on my Note 4, I noticed the my Gear S3 showed super high Mail app usage. I forced stop the Mail app, and then all went back to normal.
