Mobile dock drains my tf700 battery - Asus Transformer TF700

I have a question, when I have my TF700 connected to mobile dock, I just don't seem to get 9hrs of extra battery life as the dock claims. 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?

My battery stats are normal. When I'm not connected to the dock, it seems fine, normal battery drain.

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'.

I think I've fixed the issue. I simply reflashed my rom, and the problem is gone. I did however check my battery stats and found nothing out of the normal

[Q] Keyboard Dock Battery Drain

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 ...

I hope a firmware upgrade improves this
I have noticed this as well. I hope they fix this cause I want to have my tablet docked more often.

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.

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...

Terrible battery life after 3.2.1 update.

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 ;-)

But to satisfy your curiosity, I had around 7-8 hours of continuous use with WiFi and screen on.

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 may want to observe the non-sleeping time using "cpuspy" from Markets. Quite revealing...

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.
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium
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 :-(

@CalvinH ,
Good points to check, but I was wondering if you are using the keyboard ,and that is perhaps why some people are not having issues,could it be a keyboard bug again. I will try without and see if there is any difference.

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.

Keeping Battery Calibrated

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.

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.

In 4 to 5 hrs the most that's when I watch movie and TV straight full charge and even in power saving mode 30% dim no blue tooth sync off, I thought I were getting 8hrs, nope I was wrong, unless I'm doing something wrong here or need calibrating the battery right idk.

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.

Battery on this device getting worse?

I've had this device since September and I've almost always been unsatisfied with the batter but now it's even worse! I charge it every day just for some slight use and I think it's unacceptable compared to what's promised. Anyone else noticing the same? I've lost 10%/hour and most of the time being idle.

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.

I wouldn't believe someone actually pulling a month on a single charge (since that is what a 20% decrease in a week implies!). I run about three days on a charge, and that's with the dock attached. (EDIT: I can easily drain the tablet+dock combo in a few hours of heavy (graphical) use.)
You can join in here:

well this person said it wasnt on screen off time. noooooo use
Stand alone tablet without dock? And WiFi on or off? If WiFi is on and it's standalone tablet 20% seems to be fine for a whole day.

Hmm? Looks the same to me. You mean the new default launcher that ASUS thankfully doesn't ship with by default?
Same as OP
I have the same problem as OP with 4.2 but I have the keyboard dock. I can leave my tf700 for 2-3 days without using it and come back and its dead. This is from a 80-90% charge. I think there must be something with the deep sleep not kicking in.
I am thinking of looking back at the build prop to see if that helps with deep sleep. I have wifi off, gps off, brightness down. I did have location services on but figured I could so that's news to me and the only other thing I have is a moving wallpaper. Could those to really be causing all this drain? There has to be some way of getting deep sleep to truely sleep deep and shut down everything..

New app to help with deep sleep
I just installed DS battery saver pro and I am hoping it will actually help with deep sleep. I had power switch but it did nothing but pop up and bother me and never actually shut anything down. I am hoping this app will actually do what it says it can do and shut down all apps and everything when the screen is off.
I am having the same problem since the 4.2 update. I charge my tablet+dock and after 2 days of standby ONLY - no more juice. Everything turned OFF, never touching the tablet.
Any way to downgrade back to 4.1?

Yes, you can just flash the 4.1 firmware to downgrade. The 4.2 bootloader works fine with the 4.1 rom.
Don't forget to wipe cache and dalvic. If you have problems afterwards you may have to do a factory reset and re-install your apps.
There's a guide somewhere, I believe in the General Discussion section, on downgrading.

Nope - everything fine here. The battery seemed to drain very fast after I flashed the first 4.2 rom. But after a few charge/discharge cycles everything seems to be honky dory.
Took a fully charged tablet/dock off the charger about 16 hours ago. Did the usual surfing, reading the forums, email etc, watched a couple of episodes of Breaking Bad, downloaded the latest Cromi-X rom and installed it with mods - I would call it a day of light use.
The dock s now at 9%, the tablet at 90%. :thumbup:
Your battery calibration may be totally off. Have you tried this:
Let the tablet drain to almost 0%, connect it to your PC via USB cable and make sure the PC is on and not going to hibernate or sleep. Let the tablet trickle charge all night - at least 8 hours.
That seems to have helped in some cases....
