Hi guys, any thoughts regarding Battery life? I get roughly 8 hrs, not the 9.5-10hrs advertised/reported in the forums. Of course, this is with very high use, screen on 7.5hrs, wifi on the whole time, plex on for an hour or so, mobo video playing for an hour, and web browsing for a couple of hours, and some games too. Is this standard? Dock battery is ok, gives around 5 hrs. Any ideas on improving battery? Screen stays at 60% brightness all the time. Plus i have cnn, facebook, youtube, pulse, cnbc and plume widgets on. And active mail sync in the background.

The 9.5h time is stated for constant 720p playback so I don't think your usage is that much higher. I never stopped the time for my ASUS but I am happy with it and I guess that's what matters most.
I use SetCPU (requires root) to set the clock speed to 216MHz when idle. That seems to improve battery life.
I am not getting anywhere close to 9 hours. At first I thought it's the apps I have been running in the background or the brightness, but it's the same after I adjust it. I get about 6 hours.
Dude....6 hours is pretty low.anyways, i havent rooted it yet because of the impending otas.will do it as soon as a gr8 custom rom comes out.

Yes but i do video streaming over wifi. Also my wifi is on the whole time. And as far as i know, wifi takes more battery than video decoding.

The 9.5 hours is for
Airplane mode
playing a local movie, only
display at about 30% based on the NITS listed and Anandtech measured brightness
I bet you can achieve the same if you duplicate their testing scenario.
As for improving battery life decreasing screen brightness can have a huge difference. The screen is often the #1 power usage item when I check on my phone. Also, reduce the checking frequency of any task that needs Wifi to get data.
It's been 15 days now since I had the TF and I can tell you based on my usage - I used up;
12% per hour - airplane mode, play games watch movies in auto brightness
1% per 2.5 hours standby.
So more or less 9 hours usage should be achievable.
I get about 18 hours of constant use with dock
I play with the thing all the time and I honestly haven't ended a day with my battery being below 50% yet.
Actually, out of fairly constant use, I haven't charged mine for, let's see... 2 days, 6 hours, and 52 minutes. Currently at 48% charge.
EDIT: Oh, and I don't have the dock, so it's not counting that.

It stays on auto. When it lasts me multiple days, I can't say I really worry about saving battery much.
For example, I unplugged it this morning at 7, played with it quite a bit today including playing Zenonia for a little over an hour and letting my friends play around, and my battery is currently at 75%.
Hi all. I just wanted to chime in on this thread here. Im a former owner of a xoom and can say that tablet was a beast when it came to battery life. I could have a full charge last for 2 weeks+ with very minimal use all consumed by idle standby. That was something to be said. The tf isn't as good; I can tell already, but I was surprised today! I charged it overnight and unplugged it around 11am. 98%, until I woke it up right now! Its at 97% with 13 hrs 39min. I probably had the screen on for only 5 minutes, but pretty good! One thing to point out that helped me a lot was to always have the tab in airplane mode. You can still have the wifi on and stay in airplane mode. That seemed to make a difference with the xoom. Just my $.02

I get 5ma constant use in sleep mode. By that logic, u would lose 1% in 13 hours on sleep mode. So yeah, idle use is pretty good. Decent tested flight mode yet though.but seriously, y doesn't battery use show the percent divisions like my phone? :O

Its doesn't seem that any of you guys are reading the manual when it comes to battery.
It says it clear in the manual. Why not follow what the book says, I guess some dont read.
"If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your battery pack before going on long trips.Remember that the power adapter charges the battery pack as long as its plugged into the computer and AC power source. Be aware thats it takes much longer the charge the battery pack and when the Eee Pad is in use"
Remember to fully charge the battery (8 hours or more) before the first use and whenever it is depleted to prolong battery life. The battery reaaches it's maximum capacity after a few full charging and discharging cycles.
"To prolong Battery life, charge the battery for up to 8 hours when using Eee Pad for the first time and whenever the battery power is fully depleted.
Hello all, I'm a Galaxy Nexus user who's tired of turning his wifi and bluetooth on and off multiple times a day so I decided to leave them on. On the web I've found various claims of its effects on battery life, some claim it does drain battery and others say its impact is minuscule. Is there any data to support either claim?
LTE drains enough of my battery. I don't want to add to it. Any feedback or info you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks.

u should use wifi/bluetooth widget to fast on/off ur wifi/bluetooth.
if u open wifi and bluetooth it will used a lot of your battery.
but it never harm your batterry.
the thing that harm your battery is , you play games of surfing web when charging.
this based on my experience btw.:laugh:
Wifi doesn't affect battery much for me, bt isnt a battery drainer too, but together you can count on it that you battery will die earlier

imho leave wifi on if you're not connected on a wifi (for example around the city) is useless and it spend some battery cause it will always search a wifi
bluetooth i don't think that it will touch the battery if you set 2 minutes of availability.. after this 2 minutes it will go in stand by..
Hi,
just got my brand new Transformer Infinity today and I'm pretty disappointed with battery life - without dock it lasts something between 5 and 6 hours while watching youtube and browsing web and that's not much more than my HTC One X. I found out that wifi drains more battery than the screen - 40%, which is pretty weird, because I'm sitting right next to the router and wifi signal is always stronger than -50dB. Have someone experienced something similar?

Is there a way to check if it's miss calculated or if there is something wrong with wifi module? And if it's actually miss calculated, shouldn't Asus repair it to make sure it is calculated correctly?
your argument might have more merit if you did a test with the wifi always on for a period of time vs without it on.

Since it might be miscalculated that could be wrong. Try watching a movie with another one of similar length without wifi. Afterwards compare battery percentage.
The battery needs a few charge and discharge cycles before you will start to see more meaningful reports. Don't go around and unnerve people by posting about battery life when you cannot possible say anything about that particular issue right now. Let it settle in for a bit. Please.

No, it's not. Li-Ion batteries have hysteresis as well, and the circuitry needs some start and end points to calibrate itself. I would agree that in some cases, like in my SGS2, specific hardware is used that doesn't need as much info as other pieces do, but generally speaking, you can't expect full potential out of the box.
Posted for reference. You can keep believing in your myth busting capabilities; I do not have the illusion I can convince you otherwise.

I agree. As an SGS2 owner myself, I know that when a battery is first used, or removed and put back in, it takes the device a few cycles to properly calibrate the battery gauge to have accurate results. I imagine this is the norm across other devices as well.

Never experienced anything like that since Li-ion batteries came into production.
Btw, just did video tests with wifi on and off, there is almost no difference in battery usage (about 15% per hour with brightness about 50% and IPS+ off), so it seems the battery readings are wrong.
Also I found out today, that auto brightness does not work - stays at maximum level if you go into dark room from bright place forever, exactly the same problem someone experiences with earlier Transformer models. Does auto brightness work OK on your Infinity?

My specimen does the same. Brightness doesn't go down when I turn off the light in the room, and it stays at the relatively high level it was at. So that currently makes three of us.
Using auto brightness on mine now. Seems fine. Regarding the battery usage, i have wlan at. 30% usage after alot of downloading.

Apart from the physical characteristics of the batteries discussed above, it is a problem I have encountered in numerous Android devices - the stock battery stats are miscalculated in so many ways, we won't even have enough time to name them all (I remember users panicking about the dialer "draining" the battery in numerous threads, while in most cases it was only the stat issue showing the dialer using most of the battery after making/answering an initial call).
For some different measures, try different apps from Google Play, like Badass battery for example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm
According to the review from Taiwan, the Infinity could watch youtube movies for almost 7 hours. The brightness was set to max, volume was set to 50%, using wifi to connect to internet.

Engadget said they got about 9:30 out of the thing. 14:43 with the dock attached. That's looping a 720p video with wifi on, and the screen cranked to 50%. I think with normal usage, you can crank out a good amount of time. You just have to find that sweet spot with battery usage. I know I'm still working that out on my Bionic...but I've gotten that to last all day lately.

After one week of usage mine lasts about 9 hours while idling with 50% brightness, about 4-6 hours while watching youtube or browsing and about 3 hours while watching videos or gaming at 100% brightness and IPS+ on. Right now battery is at 66% after 1:48 of youtube and browsing with about 35% brightness, Badass Battery estimation - 3:06 left. What is battery life on your Infinity?
Good day,
I just got my Infinity yesterday, and as a previous owner of the Transformer Prime, I know the kind of battery life to expect.I am getting around 5 hours of battery, half of what I got on the prime (both with no keyboard).
The strange thing is that the battery usage gives wifi 50-70% of usage. The screen is usually usually around 20%. Does any one else have this issue?

I never owned any Prime but I have the same issue as you. Do everyone else have 50% wifi usage and about 5 hours battery or would it be a problem on some specific models ?
This is only a problem with statistics display on Android, not WiFi draining 50% of the battery. You can understand it as "WiFi mostly on" or something just try other battery widgets with their own stats, you can see my best apps thread.
I noticed the same thing. I was expecting the screen to be the major consumer, just like on my GNex, but was shocked when the Wifi was taking up so much. Yesterday I was downloading a ton, so I can see how it was then.Today not nearly as much wifi usage, and it still is taking 84% of my battery. Down to 89% after nearly 4 hours. Only 23 minutes of screen on time.

Well my mistake. The battery life started at 94% (forgot I reset the device) on that clock. After another 1.5 hours, it dropped 2% the way it was to 87%. Just turned off auto-sync and gps. We'll see how it does now.
As far as I'm concerned, it appears to be much better than my GNex. And I have a 41WH battery pack/USB charger for when I travel. I should be great with battery life.
My WiFi % on battery is way high too, but I'm not seeing a ton of battery drain. I'm at 92% after 3 hours with 10 mins of screen on time and auto sync on. WiFi is at 88% and screen at like 7%. Kind of odd but not noticing anything totally broken yet.
Same here
I was shocked at how fast the battery runs down on my Infinity. I've used mine for about an hour and a half so far today and it's at 65% already. Wifi shows as using 50% of the battery and I haven't really done any wireless work with it - mainly watching local videos. I'm getting about 4-5 hours of battery life every day.
Before anyone suggests that it's just a bad tablet - this is my second one. Both have behaved exactly the same way. I have installed Startup Manager and used it to disable all the live wallpapers, etc...from starting up when the device boots and it hasn't made any significant difference.
What's going on...?
location via wifi is the culprit
I also had this issue after I bought the tablet. The battery was drained even in sleep mode which was a clear sign something was not right.
There seems to be a bug with google maps that makes maps ask location way more often than necassary even when no settings for this are yet made..
I noticed this when turning wifi off for sleep to keep battery cosumption down and maps came up the biggest battery hog after this change.
The remedy is to first enable location settings in google maps (you have to do this first to get access to location settings) and then disable all location updates you don't need. I actually turned everything off from maps but I left wifi location enabled in system settings so I can still refresh location manually in apps that need it so for example apps like star chart can get my wifi location instead of gps in my apartment. In fixed location wifi is accurate enough and much faster than waiting for gps signal. So anyway now i can leave the tablet sleep for a day and it will only consume 1-2% at most even when wifi is on.. hope this helps.
Ok I think I found an issue with my infinity and need some confirmation. Here is the test. Charge tablet to full. I remove from charger and spend 10-15 minutes browsing the Web. Now check battery usage. Is Wifi your number on power drain? Here is what mine looks like.

For comparison I used my xoom tablet for 10-15 minutes doing similar activities and my wifi power usage was around 2%.
Also just an FYI I'm not in a strange wifi environment that creates any issues. I'm about 6 feet from my wifi hub and I noticed this usage today after work where wifi was between 50-60% of my total usage and that was on my work wifi.
Anyway I'd be really interested to hear if anyone is seeing a similar issue. I also created a ticket with Asus asking about this issue.
I hope you know that the stock battery stats are very unreliable. Under a better battery stats app, I've found that wifi isn't quite as consuming as apps, so I think the system stats are incorrect

Your is what I'd expect. In fact you got 91% after two hours. That is better than my xoom. This explains why some people claim good performance and battery life. Mine will be below 90% in like 30 minutes usage.
I think there is a wifi issue and this might be a way of identifying bad tablets. I'll see what the ASUS support people say and post it here. The bad news is this looks like a hardware issue...
Before I completely get excited can you make sure your wifi is always on. Go to settings, wifi, advanced, make sure keep wifi on during sleep is always.

The screenshot is also missing the "ASUS Customzied setting" menu option on the left, right under Apps. Looks like either custom ROM or not an ASUS tablet perhaps.
For what it is worth, I have noticed the same issue with my Wifi eating up tons of battery. I haven't done any tests, but it certainly feels like my battery is draining pretty quickly with Wifi on. It is certainly draining much faster than my TF101....I would expect that to be the case to some extent because of the processor and screen upgrade, but not this much. There is another thread going on TranformerForums about the same issue. Someone reported that leaving their device fully charged with Wifi turned on overnight had drained it down to 19% by morning, with no use.
Not sure yet if this is a real issue, but it seems strange that Wifi would use significantly more battery than Screen.

Don't rely on the battery usage screen. It's not like it's got an ammeter coupled to every battery drain. It just calculates percentages based on the information it got, it's all guesswork and needs lot of calibration to be correct. The reason WiFi is blamed as the major drain is probably that it's running all the time (and its power usage might not be calibrated for the battery usage screen). The stats won't know at all if e.g. the kernel gets stuck in an infinite loop and drains the battery...
Personally, I only trust the info the battery usage screen gives me about apps. If an app has a high percentage, it's probably not right. The rest of the breakdown is mostly bogus.

Well something is eating battery fast.. I have my xoom and my infinity sitting side by side right now and my xoom is at 80% battery after 2:30 hours on while the Infinity is at 62% after 2:41 on. So the infinity is draining battery about twice as fast as my xoom. And the xoom shows the top battery usage as the screen where wifi isn't even making the list.

There are already some threads that discuss this topic. The battery meter has a bit of a bug where it shows the WiFi % based on how long the wifi has been connected rather than how much actual power it has used. Mine does the same thing with 85% battery atm but it has been running off of the charger for 1d 13h and still has 37% left.
It is a battery meter issue and not an energy drain issue.
Xoom is now 68% after 3:30

Well, the Infinity has more hardware to give power to.
However, my Infinity is at 62% after 10 hours... Most (about 80%) of that time, it's been sleeping (but on), though. Did you actively use both your Xoom and Infinity during the reported time?
How does the detailed battery usage screen (touch the graph in the normal battery usage screen) look? Here's mine (the gap is a reboot):

infinity is now at 40% and xoom is at 55%. a bit over 6 hours since both were pulled off the charger. Screen has been on over 4 hours.
Here is the current status of infinity 37 percent

Here is the picture of my xoom at 53%
From just eyeballing the two graphs it looks like the infinity sleeps better where my xoom is staying active constantly. None the less when the screen is on the infinity consumes power quite a bit faster.
It is clear that the xoom does quite a bit better on battery life than the infinity.
Mine does this too, but battery life is solid

Battery Drain
I just got mine yesterday and the battery drain is unexceptionable. I fully charged it last night and then was off and on it this morning before going to work. After getting into the office it was more than 50% drained and before lunch it was well below 30%. I have the TF101 and it hasn't been charged in two days and it is still at 79% with everything turned on.
I have not had a chance to look into this but I find that amount of drainage excessive.
On a side note I pretty much just have the stock apps running on this. I did just do a cold boot so I will see if that helps at all.
