Not sure what I could have done but since yesterday my battery life has been nuts. I installed and am using a livewallpaper but that's it. Phone has been on for 5 days and it just got better yesterday. Is it even possible that lwp could help battery life?
Doing well today too will post screenshot later on. I've been using it as normal so its not due to change in usage at all. Again the only link I can find is the lwp!!

Wow. That's amazing! Wish I got that kind of usage!!

I'm pretty sure live wallpaper won't be saving you battery, having a constant animation on your background is only going to increase your CPU load and RAM usage, which will surely impact on your battery life.
What ROM/ kernal are you using?

I wish my phone would do that too, I need to charged it everyday.
I knew it was going to be like this before i got it, but sometimes is just annoying.

Since i have my acer iconia a500 my sensation lasts 2 days with 1 charge

One of the most effective things I have ever done for battery life is, after the first full drain/charge Calibration I did four more full drain/full charges before using normally. Then I remained patient with imperfect battery life until those steps were done.
Battery life is great.

Jealous!
Wish I got those kind of results. After the update to 2.3.4 my battery life has been terrible and nothing I seem to do is helping
It simply looks like you've been on wifi a lot. It's known that being on wifi puts A LOT LESS strain on your battery than does using the network.
Same here battery life is not as good as expected but I guess there's not much we can do, either buy a much bigger capacity battery or be contended with what the stock could offer.

How much screen in time? It can last forever on stand by.

This is what I have now. With just casual texting and facebook, auto sync is off on all accounts except weather for the widget , no games. So I'm sure by the end of the day ill only get atleast 8hrs on my battery if I get lucky. From 100% to 65% in 3hrs I don't know if its good or not but oh well what can we do.

Yeah wifi and wifi calling help a ton. This is today with hardly any wifi and a little more usage. Still it gets me through most days from waking up to sleeping.

me too have a great battery life
since rooted and using leedroid ROM, my phone could last 12 hours with casual fb, sms, and calling. with some note-taking.
Got the Anker, and haven't really been following their recommended instructions. I guess I'll suck it up for the next week and just do it.
I'm 100% stock and unrooted but using LPP instead of Sense. That's it.

Good battery life here, 18 hours use with ~25% left when i plugged in last night. Rooted running Revolution HD ROM over clocked at 1.56GHz
Using Leedroid and a 7 quid 1900mA battery off Amazon. Auto sync off a few phone calls moderate to high texting and tweeting. A little gaming.
I can easily get over 2 days on 1 charge
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.

Nice wait but that jump upward toward the end, were you charging it there, send a screen of the graph with the usage pattern under it
And you recharged it abit
Hehe. But seriously I get around 17 hours of pretty good life. Moderate to heavy use with still about 30% remaining

Haha nope not quite we mean like tap the "screen" entry so we can see how many hours of screen-on time you've had, and also possibly tap the usage graph then it shows when your phone was awake, when WiFi was on/off, when it was charging etc.

As much as I do like the phone. I'm quite annoyed at the battery life and am thinking of ways to improve it and etc. but it doesn't seem to be working. I get like 8 hours and by then it's at 30% MAX. Usually around like 20 or so. 10 hours and it's pretty much dead. Am I doing something wrong? my screen is only on for about an hour and a half or so, maybe 2 hours. Lowest brightness setting, 4g off, 2g on, wifi on.. that's about it. I mean as much as I love HTC, I can't love this battery life...

Yes you're doing something wrong or have a faulty unit. Make sure you flash a good ROM (I'm using aokp) and that's it. I have my screen at about 25% brightness and here are my stats which is quite acceptable.

@devgee Lol wow 5hr37min screen and almost 10hrs thats quite impressive, all things considered hang on how is your phone still ON at 1% not charging? Mine shuts down at 4% generally...unless I charge it till 7% and unplug, then it runs to 0% before powering down?

Might be the 1% battery mod which has been added to the viper Rom (Don't know really)
I was too surprised when it was 1%
Usually it shuts down at 3% or 4%!

Well this is what I got.
This was back on CM. That rom game amazing batt life.
I don't have the screen time pic but it was just over 4 hours. Still had 1/5 of the battery left too! With this phone I just leave gps, wifi, antenna and sync on. It's so rare for me to NOT last a full day that I see no point in being conservative about use anymore.

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.

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 recently switched to hyperdrive ROM again, and the battery drain is absolutely ridiculous.. I watched 4% drain as I was making this post. I have included screenshots of battery stats, can someone tell me what's up? One thing to note is that it may be my charger, because I bent the metal part that goes in my phone a while ago. Should that affect the battery life? I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something to do with my setup before going out to buy a new charger.

I see cray drains when I flash a new rom too. A charge, a complete discharge, maybe twice and it goes back to normal. When was the last time you did that?
Same it usually takes a couple of days for me to see real battery life in a ROM. I'd test it out for a day or 2 and see if you have any improvements

do you calabrate your battery after switching roms?
That's been debunked but you can akways try.

What kernal are you running? Depending on the governor, I got really bad battery life with 4glte . Its kind of trial and error though.
Let the ROM stabilize for a while.
