I have my Tf700 rooted but locked. I have been trying to just put the tablet to sleep rather than shut off (long boot times). With the sreen off and using Auto Airplane Mode by Don, my tablet is draining by 15 percent overnight (9 hrs).:crying: I'm using Battery Stats Pro. It shows that 'Cell Standby' is using >90% battery. I'm at work right now and my tablet is at home charging so am unable to post a screenshot

Where can I find this auto airplane mode app? Will it work on stock unrooted also? I have noticed "Maps" automatically gets turned on and used by WiFi after the jb update. Anyone know how to fix this? WiFi just stays on and drains the battery.

There's Battery Widget Reborn that will do this also. But then I'm using JuiceDefender Plus on my 3 devices. Works pretty well on my TF700, there's a "night mode"... My tab hardly loose any juice over night. Maybe try one of those...

I have Juice defender Ultimate installed. The problem is that I want the tablet to deep sleep every time I put it in standby. I am still losing 90% of battery to 'cell standby" even with juice defender.
Anyone have an idea about the maps issue?

"90%" Does not mean it drains 90% of your battery.
It means 90% of the current battery drainage belongs to that process. So 90% of the 15% battery drain comes from Cell Standby, the remaining 10% are other processes (usually Screen.). So something else is draining your processes.
Cell Standby is the same as Idle Processes on Windows: Nothing.
It should use about 1-3% per night even without 3rd party airplane mode. So, based on not using that, which of these do you have enabled:
WiFi (Especially the "Keep during sleep" setting. Even with WiFi toggled off, this keeps running undetected. Same goes for USB Ethernet.))"
GPS
Power saving, Balanced or Performance mode?
Power Saving in settings
Auto brightness
Location services (settings --> location services), any of the settings in this menu.
Ever used a USB Ethernet adapter?
Using any overlay apps? (handwriting, graphic effects, alarm etc?)
Does the tablet's location get very cold overnight? Lithium-Ion batteries hate the cold, drains them 10 times as fast.

Idle is called "Tablet idle" on my TF700. "Cell Standby" sounds like the connection to a mobile network, which should not even run on a wifi-only device.

This was my first idea as well -- your 700 doesn't even have a cell connection, so this is a strange entry. Try using BetterBatteryStats or something alike, because the standard Android report of battery consumption is notoriously vague, and most of the times downright incorrect.
This harkens back to my SGS2 tweaking days in which loads of users were clamoring for tweaks to get the Android System consumption down from 99% -- "it is killing my battery" -- even when they had less than 2% overall consumption overnight. LOLOLOL!
These are high-powered devices, people -- if you'd want two weeks of standby time, you should have hunted down an old Nokia Communicator.
I still find a 15% drop in 9h of stand by time a bit high. Mine is a lot less than that...

Hm. Regarding the USB Ethernet adapter: Did you ever set the option "Keep during sleep"?
Reason I ask is because the moment I turned this on, it started draining my tablet+dock in a day, even without the adapter. Turned keep during sleep off and it went back to 1% a day. Never showed up in any battery monitor.
jcp2, do you have the TF700KL model version??
I will plug the usb ethernet adapter back in when I get home and see if the option "keep during sleep" is checked.(I only used the usb adapter twice.) I have the TF700T model.
Update.... I docked the tablet and plugged in the usb ethernet adapter. "keep ethernet awake during sleep" was checked. I unchecked it. I will let it sleep overnight and check the battery usage in the morning.

Fingers crossed, then.
Great news everyone! After following ShadowLea's advice about the unticking the USB Ethernet option for "Keep during sleep" (Which is only visible if you have the USB Ethernet adapter plugged in BTW) I am very happy to report that my tablet lost only 2-3% over a 9 hour period overnight. :victory: Thank you very much everyone, especially ShadowLea for the heads up! :highfive: :good:
Glad it's solved

Same problem here, except even more extreme. My battery dropped from ~90% Tab + ~30% Dock to 24% Tab and a dead dock overnight. The culprit for me also appears to be cell standby at 90% of usage.
I do not have the KL model and so there is no cell radio, and have never used a USB to Ethernet adapter (didn't know that I could, I might try it out now that I know).
Keep WiFi on set to never
GPS Off
Power Mode in Balanced
Power Saver enabled after 30%
Location & Google Search the only location service enabled
No overlay apps.
Kept inside at a reasonable temperature.
I'll try turning off the Location & Google Search, but anyone have other ideas?
EDIT: See screenshot http://db.tt/ph1d0FVT
I keep Airplane mode checked
GPS off
location settings all unchecked
under ASUS customized settings: check "mobile dock battery saving mode" and also check " disconnect network during sleep" , Uncheck "enable smart backlightlighter adjustment"
These settings cured my battery drain problem. Good Luck!
There is a known bug with Location Services that causes battery drain, as it keeps checking for a signal, even with WiFi and the app off. Turn it off

The fact that this tablet does multi-tasking is both a blessing and a curse. When tethering via bluetooth, it doesn't die even if you're not using it. I left mine connected to my iphone at night and the next morning, both the tablet and the phone are discharged. I'm sure that there's a setting somewhere that will kill these processes after n minutes of inactivity but for now, make sure your connection is off (Airplane mode) and just kill all processes using the Advanced task killer.

hmm I have bluetooth tether on 24/7 and it barely drains anything... odd.
This might seem extreme, but I turn mine off if I know I won't be using it for several hours or more. Power-up is pretty quick when I do need to use it. I know it's not the ideal solution, but it has helped me a lot. Now it last for several days between charges instead of a day or so.

I did too before I made the changes below. These all work with the Stock Rom.
1. Installed No Lock (so that I don't have to swipe the screen to unlock, just push the power button)
2. Set screen to turn off in 30 seconds.
3. Installed Brightness Widget (allows changing the brightness from the home screen
4. Installed Screen Filter (lets me really darken my screen at night.
Try those and see how you do.
5. I then flashed the Infused Rom (I now get up to 10-14 hours)

Battery
After much experimenting and monitoring of battery use I find that the biggest drain is the screen display, so go to settings-->display-->brightness and lower the screen brightness as low as you comfortably can. Also when you you are not using the phone make sure the screen is off, I have trained myself to automatically hit the power button every time I put down the phone. If you listen to music through your phone make sure the settings on your music players allow the phone to play when the screen is off and turn the screen off while it plays.
GPS also drains the battery, so I keep it turned off when I don't use the Nav. When I use the Nav I know the battery will drain at a rapid pace, nothing you can do there, even if I have the phone plugged in to car power while using Nav it still drains the battery! Drains slower than unplugged navigating but still drains.
If your watching videos then your S.O.L. there's really nothing you can do that will increase battery life enough to make a difference during video playback.
I get 10-12 hours with regular use and stock rom. Worst was 8 hours best was 24.
Thanks for all the advice this has really helped my battery

It seems that Samsung ****ed up and included phone CPU/screen/etc usage when measuring battery charge current.
This means that the 600 mA stock battery charge current limit isn't just going to the battery, it's split between battery/screen/CPU. If screen/CPU/etc go above 600 mA (Navigation at full brightness seems to be the most common way), battery starts draining.
It also means that unless there's something I'm missing (which I could be since the MAX8998 datasheet is super-ultra-secret), our phone isn't going to be able to do proper charge termination - if the screen is on/CPU is running, it will cause a falsely high battery charge current reading, which will cause charging to fail to terminate.

look in about phone battery use to identify the biggest battery user, it should be the screen. anything else and there is a problem.
the cell standby may go high on froyo rom, turning on flight mode and turning it off will correct that, it's an android bug.
on gingerbread the android os or android system may hog battery occasionally. some think it is the wifi sleep policy but it pops up on me without setting the sleep policy. the fix for that is to pull the battery for a couple minutes and put it back in and restart the phone.
next manage the screen brightness
install a custom rom, there are issues with certain firmware keeping sensors active wen they shouldn't be.
turn off unneeded sync options (i find that auto fetching my email uses a lot especially with my gmail already set to sync),
use wifi when you use the internet if possible, turn it off when out and about.
monitor cpu useage of apps that are cached in the task manager
kill apps that use cpu
if needed turn the max cpu clock down to 800mhz
set "use wireless networks" for location when possible for general location (limited to city level at times)

Actually, high cell standby is OK if the phone is screen-off often.
Cell standby is always my top user - but my phone is sitting on my desk with the screen off frequently, in a location with weak signal. Weak signal makes cell standby usage go WAY up.

I agree JuiceDefender works!! I had to charge in the middle of the day. Now with moderate use it will last all day Im on stock Rom.
I easily get 2 days out of my Infuse, no idea how some of you are managing to only get 8 hours. After rooting my phone and freezing the bloat i easily get twice the battery life of my prior iPhone 3GS.
Ok, so I've been reading a lot about how people are experiencing battery drain on their TF tablet and TF dock. I wasn't experiencing any battery drain overnight until I installed a bunch of apps and played with many settings. So recently, I would see my tablet go from 80% battery to ~60% battery while I slept (around 10 hours of being turned off).
I checked on the Asus Weather widget and it was set to refresh every 4 hours. I turned that off and set it to refresh only manually. Now my battery goes from 91% to 91% (after 10 hours). I've tested this two nights in a row now so I think I've fixed my battery drain issues. Anyone else experience these results?
Other settings I have:
Wi-Fi sleep policy set to turn off when screen turns off.
Does no one have this issue with the Asus Weather Widget? Does no one care about battery drain?
Dear ScubaSteveo
I have such query also, last night 95% before standby with the wifi sleeping, however, when I woke up and checked only left 72% within 9 hours.
So, I untick the Asus weather auto update and changed to manual also.
I will actually switch off the wifi before sleep tonight to test.
I upgraded to 3.2 just two days before, so I don't know much about the wifi problem and battery problem.
But I am quite sure only wifi could cause such battery draining.
It may be not the Asus weather causing the problem, maybe the setting of "screen off with wifi sleeping" actually doesn't sleep the wifi.
I have heard a lot 3.2 with a lot wifi and battery problems...hope Asus finds out and solve the problems.
I still think it's the Asus Weather Widget because as soon as I turned off the refresh setting and changed it to Manual refresh, I stopped seeing the battery drain.
Let me know if you see your battery do better after switching to manual.
I saw a similar improvement when switching from the 4 hr default to manual. I tested it last night and saw 10% drop in dock battery in ~10hrs, where before it was about 2-3% / hour.

I now have to agree with you. I've tested the Asus Weather Widget (still on manual refresh) with Wi-Fi sleep policy set to turn off when the screen turns off, and I have around 3% battery drain per hour. Apparently I have had Airplane mode on for a while so WiFi was not activated while I was sleeping.
This is not good.
So why the heck is the Wi-Fi not sleeping when it is supposed to??
Hi guys. The idle battery drain is ridiculous in my transformer. I charged it over night and left it home idle for 12 hours. And there's only 52% battery left. I checked the battery usage and it says 34% are from wifi, but I setted it to wifi off when screen is off. Beautiful Widgets consume 15%, tablet idle 11%, android os 10%, screen 10%. My tablet is almost a week old and I'm running prime v 1.7 with default settings. And is there any free Widgets that lets you toggle wifi,bt, auto sync, and etc....?

Obviously something is taking wakelock. That's the only way you can get drain like that. Start uninstalling apps and widgets until it goes away. I would start with Beautiful Widgets, because it's on the Consuming Power list. Widgetsoid is free, and has alot more function.
I had this same problem.
I had the same problem, and you can check the responses over at this thread if you like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1222410
Basically, for me I had the tablet charged to 100% and it would drop to ~50% after 15 hours of being idle and not touching the thing once. I had WiFi set to turn off when the screen turns off, and all other settings adjusted to try and save battery life. Google Maps was the biggest user of battery while the tablet should have been sleeping.
For me, the problem turned out to be Latitude. Latitude was waking my tablet, turning on WiFI and updating the location while the tablet should have been sleeping. I had to sign out of Latitude completely. This fixed all the battery issues I was having. Now if I need to use Latitude, I will sign back it, update, then sign back out. Kind of annoying, but it is what it is.
Hope this helps...

Hi guy, my wifi won't turn off when my Xoom is on sleep. I have set the settings of 'keep wifi on during sleep' both to 'NEVER' and 'ONLY WHEN PLUGGED' but nothing happens. Wifi stays on and keeps draining my battery life. I am running rooted with the latest version of nightly 62 and I've been having this issue since 55. I have reinstalled, flashed, factory reset, wiped my Xoom.
Is anyone else having this issue? What should I do?
From my experience, wifi stays on for a little while longer after device sleeps. However, some apps in background may trigger wifi back on again. So I turn off wifi when i go to bed. Actually i notice wifi itself will not drain much battery, 1-2% for 10hr. It's the host apps sucking the juice.
I am not an expert though.
OK i've also checked it out and as you said wifi turns off after some time. My main problem now is that my battery life won't last more than 3-4 hours on wifi.

What do you mean "no more than 3-4 hours"? In your battery chart, you can get more than that even starting from 75% battery.
What I wanted to say is that I think my battery won't last more than 4 hours with wifi on and some serious usage.. from my stats as I can see I've been using it 5 hours but I only had screen on and browsing the web. I think there will be a huge difference if I am watching a movie or playing a game.. I don't have the time to check it now but I will post my results in some days..
According to my previous battery graph do you see any problem or something less from what your Xoom battery holds? Does this battery drain seems normal to you?

I think you'll find it will stay on for about 15 minutes. There is some setting in a system database (using a sqlite editor) that can be changed to bring this down. I doubt Wifi is what's draining your battery. Are you synching email via activesync or running other stuff in the background?
I am only using my yahoo mail from the EMail app. I don't know if it uses activesync. I have set it to check emails every 30minutes.
wifi not turning off
Edit: I found the wifi sleep option in ICS. Google sure did a great job of hiding it. See attached picture for anyone else having wifi staying on during sleep issues.
So there are three options
Keep WiFi on during sleep
1) Always
2) Only when plugged in
3) Never
What option to set if i want Wifi to turn of after some time of when phone sleeps. Previously i had set the option to 15 minutes but that option is not available in ICS and i m having a hard time understanding how these options work on my sensation.
Can anyone explain what each of these options do ?

My guess:
1) Always: WIFI always on no matter awake or asleep
2) Only when plugged in: WIFI always on only when plugged to power
3) Never: WIFI will be off if asleep (my current setting)
That was it

For an app to change wifi sleep policy, it needs the WRITE_SETTINGS permission.
