OK, so now I am flashing ROMs here and there, am I right in saying that I need to keep my battery calibrated in the software? Does it need to know where 0% and 100% is eery time I flash a brand new ROM?

My experience has been that you need to let the battery cycle through a few times (not to zero, though) and it will adjust. I'm not sure that calibration actually works. You could just flash a new rom when fully charged and wipe battery stats in "advanced" and that might help.
There's a nice app in the Play Store called Battery Calibration that will do this for. I run it after the first full charge after flashing a new rom.

I think that it's not good to discharge lithium ion batteries all the way...better to top them off.

IMO, Nothing wrong about it. As long as you don't do it every time you charge your tablet it won't kill your battery. It serves as a way to reset/resync your device. In my experience discharging it until the device auto shuts down then charge too 100% then use Battery Calibration has extended my playing time with my Infinity. The overall health of my battery is still very solid. I've been doing it like this for a couple of years now with all the tablets/phones I've owned.

Yes. Let it shut down on its own. For best result, once it shuts down plug it in. It will boot up. Turn off the screen and leave it charging till its at 100% You can then use Battery Calibration or unplug it. What I found out in my experience to keep the battery healthy after is to make sure to charge it within a certain percentage. For me I wait till 20% to charge sometimes 15% when I get a warning to plug it in. If whenever I mess up on a charge and it unplugs before a full charge, I will just leave it unplugged and discharge it once again.

Well it seems to be getting a little better but still I am not looking at 9 hours and probably more like 6.5 which is far from what I would like. Would I keep just going from 100 to 0 until I see some good results ? Its getting to nearly a week old now and the battery is hardly any better than when I out it. I am sill thinking its cos I was flashing the rooms. Flashed to he Zeus and back a couple of times now. I am now on stock. I am pretty sure its not because I turned it straight on with the 15% they gave me and charged it from there instead of charging for 8 ours or whatever hey say.

And to add to the problems, it seems Asus for the life of them cannot figure out how to attach a screen to the main body. Right down my left side is that annoying clicking noise, worse than my second prime, not as bad as he first. Tap the home button, squeak, anywhere in the top left corner, squeak. So annoying. I guess I will just have to see how it pans out because even though unlocking the deice has nothing to do with this, my warranty is gone. Maybe someone will figure out how to open the device and figure out how to reattach the screen. 3 tablets, same problem, just ridiculous.

Its not a matter of figuring it out. Its just like the Prime on how to open it. The question is, who is willing to open there Infinity. Erusman, from the Prime forum undertook that and in the end was able to fix light bleed and modded his tablet for better wifi/gps. Although it kinda looks like Frankenstein, it worked. The light bleeding was just a matter of the screws all along the display was too tight which caused stress on the screen. After he loosened the screws, it eliminated the light bleed completely. I'm pretty sure it is the same situation with our Infinity's.

It's simply reading the voltage from the battery, and that's it. There's no magic behind it. Calibration is useless.

There is something wrong about it. Li-Ion batteries lose max capactiy every time you let them go down to 0%. You should only fully cycle 1 time upon receiving your TF700 in order to calibrate the battery. After that, you should always top off.
Case in point: my dock maxes out at 96-97% now after being dissipated down to 0% about 10-20 times. My Tablet however still goes to the full 100%. My old Samsung Netbook had its Li-Ion battery completely discharged on accident for about a month when I was on vacation. It lost like 10% of its rated run-time when I recharged it. Do NOT let your Li-Ion batteries go to 0% if you can avoid it.

Hiya,
Previous posts have already mentioned that the keyboard dock battery discharges if the hinge is left in the open position, despite not having a tablet attached (which I am assuming is why my dock seems to run out of battery rather quickly sometimes).
I was just wondering; has anyone noticed the battery life of their transformer decrease when the keyboard is attached and out of battery, as opposed to when the dock is not attached. If I leave the transformer on its own on standby for several hours, the drain only seems to be say 1% every 1.5-2 hours, whereas with the keyboard dock attached the drain on standby seems more like 2-3% an hour or more.
I assume this is because the dock is always drawing power? Does anyone else notice a similar drain?
James,
Yes, i also noticed this ...

Yeah but if your not using it it shouldn't drain anywhere near as much battery as it is.
I.e.like if its closed.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
With the Tablet switched off and docked the dock still uses loads of power. Very odd.
It defeats the object of having the dock for extra battery life - with the dock attached i get less standby time than without it, which is crazy! I wish they would sort out these issues, until i can rely on it not to drain quickly its just a toy, not something i can depend on.
I'm pretty sure it's been stated before that they are added a fix in a future update.
Hi,
Did anyone notice the noise when the tablet is connected to the keyboard?
With mine, when i plug the Tablet, i can hear a sound like an ultrasound of some sort...
Hello All,
does anybody noticed the increased power consumption after the last official update (3.2.1)? Below is my battery chart after just one day. The most interesting part is when I didn't used tablet in last couple of hours, as you can see no WiFi, screen, pad not awaken and... battery draining as hell. On detailed battery usage screen Android OS was on the top with 38% then WiFi 15% and screen 12%
Before update battery life was ok (My TF is early hardware, stock OS, no root etc.). After update I didn't changed anything, same configuration, no new software, updates etc. Just rebooting two times because tried to get rid of another 3.2.1 bug aka "mobile browser"
I appreciate that Asus is quick to pushing updates to TF, but this time they did it too fast.
Does anyone have a similar problem, or is it just my update went wrong?
I get 7 hrs of hardcore usage, as for a day odds of charge, lucky u, how long where u getting before cause im impressed ;-)

You are going to want to charge your battery to 100 and use the battery calibration app in the market...called battery callibration. Do the instructions it tells you.
You might want to install CPU spy and see what is running in the background to drain your battery like that.

This is a real bug. Here's a screenshot I just took from my tablet. Tell me you don't see something strange with Android OS taking up 26% of the power.
That's 83% battery life left over 4 hours of me using it for about 30 minutes total.

You are right. No apps shown. But it shows a bar indicating the duration the cpu spent in deep sleep - this is useful for me.

Right...that's part of the problem with the new firmware..it never goes into a deep sleep. Not sure if it did previously, but the battery life since 3.2.1 is definitely bad
indeed i've seen a noticeable drop in the battery as well and was beginning to worry. hopefully someone comes up with a solution
I have no issues with battery drain after updating.
Did you double check that GPS didn't get enabled? Have you tried a factory reset after updating? Yeah, I know it's a pain in the ass, but it's not so difficult to get everything running again after hard resetting.
Regards.
Hi, I've noticed the same battery drain since the update , just bought the keyboard and was enjoying the added battery life ,but last night the pad and keyboard drained flat in seven hours while it was meant to be sleeping like me. It seems looking at the battery info that the wifi and system never shut down and does'nt even when charging :-(

Battery life has not been as good and also when playing music with google music it freezes sometimes and reboots wtf asus
I am getting random reboots as well, after 3.2.1 update. Twice now while the tablet was just sitting there on the table, suddenly the ASUS boot logo pops up.
I have always had problems with ActivityManager killing background tasks a little too aggressively, and so I wondered if it was killing things it shouldn't, now and then. (It does occasionally kill the wifi supplicant process, which should never happen.) But the reboots never happened before the latest update.
My battery life is significantly worse since the update. Before, in 12 hours of sitting idle, it would go through about 20% of battery. Today, it went through 70% in 13 hours of idle.
Wow sorry to hear that guys. For once mine has good battery life again! It was good, then after the last few updates it was reaaallly bad. Now it can go days, but it seemed like it got better right before the update?! Either way its better now.

For the asleep part, it might help to turn on the setting to disconnect wifi while sleeping. I get extremely long battery life, but I also have very light usage because I work a lot. A lot of it could depend on what you are doing for that constant use. Also, are you rooted? and if so have you overclocked?
I'm frankly quite surprised at the poor battery life. I depleted the entire dock battery this morning by using it about 3 hours. The main tab battery is now at 80% so will probably last about another 3 hours or so on heavy usage. I'm not all that impressed at all on 6 hours of usage WITH the dock keyboard.
Originally this morning I actually thought something was wrong with my keyboard battery since it was depleting so fast, but I guess not... Wow.
What do the "balanced" ... "performance" settings in the menu actually do?

Honestly, I've been pretty happy with mine. I just don't see any scenario in which I would drain the dock then drain the main battery and not see a whole day of usage. I just don't see myself doing 6 straight hours of heavy gaming.
Bare in mind that gaming is the most power consuming operation. 5-6 hours continuous gaming doesn't seem too bad to me.
What's the battery life like for internet browsing?

Is that with or without dock?
My battery is currently at 35% and it has been 22 hours since I unplugged it from the charger. I have 4.5 hours of screen time which included heavy browsing and playing Draw Something. This is without the dock.
I am using the .29 build.prop mod as well as the Transformer overclock app (I forgot what it was called) that uses 1ghz for eco, 1.3 for balanced and 1.6 for performance. My setting has been on balanced.
Overall I'm happy with my battery life although I don't play much games on it. FYI I lost approximately 12% of battery life overnight. I don't remember the exact number so I'll check again tomorrow.
If you are rooted, maybe you should try the Battery Calibration app on the Play Market?

Battery life at about 96% after about ten minutes of light use of the tablet for me. Not great...

I can't say I'm very happy with the battery life of my TF300T (no dock)
It's stock ICS with the WW .29 firmware and powermanagement is set to balanced.
But I (also) think that there is a software thingy going on:
After a 100% charge I left it on standby/sleep from 8 in the morning untill 6 in the evening. 11 hours of standby mode alone drained almost 20% of the battery
I double checked the battery usage and indeed it's the idle mode that was so energy hungry.
I saw there is a MOD here at XDA that fixes the standby power consumption and I will be giving that a try for sure.
With normal use (no movies, just browsing, moving files around from and to my NAS, reading PDF's) it uses 50% in about 3 hours.
Playing movies (WIFI turned off) does about the same thing, so I guess it's mainly the screen that consumes all the energy.
I do not play games, so no experiences with that.
What I would like to try is to have PowerAmp play music, screen turned off and then see how much battery is used.
Recharging is pretty fast btw: The TF300T does a better job than my Desire S.

Screen Brightness can drain a battery pretty quickly. The only other things I can think of would be gps, or bluetooth being on. If you are rooted, you could underclock and get a lot better battery life that way.

You could download better battery stat and see what app/process is using up your battery. Also download "wifi" toggle wiget, and turn off wifi, only turn it on when you need it, see you your battery improved. Some reported wifi drain battery heavyly..

A couple of things to think about:
At home, on my Wireless N connection, my tablet lasts even longer than 1 day and a half with light use. I am currently on vacation in Hawaii, and have noticed a faster drain - and here I am on Wireless G. Could be a factor. So could your router itself.
Also, if you create drafts in GMail and save them, the Gmail app checks every 5 min for changes. Don't know why, but it does. I think it is by design.

Also when I close it shut, it 'seems' to go into hibernation properly. But when I wake up the next morning, the battery on both the tablet and the dock are almost totally drained? Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Sounds like you have a rogue app that is constantly using the battery. What do your battery stats say?

Hmm... Ever used an usb ethernet adapter, by any change? Mine does this when I've used it it and forgot to turn off 'keep during sleep'.
