Hey guys, i've seen some other threads about batteries being stuck at 100% but they were generally with rooted devices so i figured i'd make one here.
The Problem
My infinity will charge fine, usually 1% per minute and when discharging going from 100% to 35% in about 5 hours screen on time, mainly using web apps, no real gaming, maybe dead trigger for 20 mins per charge. However when i take my tab off the charger it will stay at 100% for over 45 mins, and most recently over 1h 20m, causing the battery reading to be way off. Today it randomly shut down claiming i had 20% left.
Does anyone have any ideas? Like i said device is non-rooted and i dont have much interest in rooting it. Problem started just before we got the Jelly Bean update, and i got the tab in mid august, so it was working fine for a couple months.
The next logical step would be to factory reset and contact asus if that doesn't solve anything. I was hoping to avoid that if you guys had any tips or tricks.
Thanks
My TF700T has just started doing this. So your not the only one. I've only just started to search around for a solution.

I suggest you make a backup then do a a factory reset (twice). After that check to make sure this issue is gone, before re install any apps. If this doesn't resolved the issue, you need to reflash the full Asus firmware. This eliminated your software issue, and the last 1% chance is your hardware.(but very rare).

I've done as you suggested. Including factory reseting the tablet twice.
I've had the tablet off the charger for 14 hours and 28 minutes. And it's still showing 100%...
Worth noting: It was fully charged with the dock this morning. I've taken the tablet off the dock and used it for the day and it's still 100%
Anyone else got any other suggestions?
Same problem here, started two days ago, the transformer shuts down at ˜33-35%. Installed battery monitor app and it reports ˜500mAh still availble just prior to the shutting down. After it shuts down it's dead until I plugg it the power chord, it charges to 100% but then the same story again, shutting down at 33-35% remaining battery left. I've tried the battery calibration app which deletes the batterystats.bin file but that didn't do anything. Also tried three factory resets without any success... I'm on stock ROM but rooted.
Any ideas to what to try now? Or should I wait for the next firmware upgrade and see if the reflashing of the firmware will resolve this?
How do I reflash the installed firmware version, want to try that next...

What do your power saver settings show under settings?
Mine are at 10%
Have you factory reset your tablet recently?

Everything in power saver settings is left default, 15%. But the transformer never reaches that level..
Oh, and I also have the same behaivor as the orginator of this thread, the battery shows 100% for good while after a full charge until it stops dropping, forgot to mention that. My tablet is four month old and this just started... Unfortunaltey is feels like a HW issue with the battery reporting the wrong remaining charge to the OS... But I will wait for a new firmware to see if a reflash resets the battery configuration somehow.

My TF700 shut down at 25% battery today. I think it's time to contact ASUS to see what they can do.

Try to poweroff your device and let it stay down for 1/2 hrs, then power it back on see if that resolved your issue.
You need to recalibrate the battery.

This is what I did. except I left it plugged in over night, then unplugged it, turned it on and it is back to normal.

I tried this to no avail. Worth noting the device was off for about 5 hours when the battery went flat. I've also tried turning it off and charging it.
I have a TF700 on a TF300 dock, and I have found that if I unplug the tablet from the dock, while the dock is plugged into the wall, it stays at that battery level until I plug it back into the keyboard. Deleting batterystats.bin, turning it off, waiting long enough for it to get to 8.4V, and then doing a cold boot seems to fix it.
Im having terrible problems with my battery on this phone. My screen cracked so i replaced it, after replacing it i noticed that it would only charge upto 94% which i didnt mind as i was happy the phone was working again. I then flashed xbsall's ICS port, after 30 mins of use the battery dropped to 0%. Thats when i started getting the 0% battery problem, i charge it but doesnt move past 0%. Ive gone back to gingerbread but still the same problem. I can get the phone to work if i leave it off for a while or if i give it a knock but thats not guaranteed to make it turn on all the time. Ive flashed the paranoid android rom now but the battery goes to 0% more often on this rom. Is there anything i can do?

Sv: [Q] O3D Battery Problems
Change to complete stock without root as the way you bought it and send it in for repair. Hope you got warranty
Sent from my 3D phone.
I am on stock rooted rom, and i have removed all the bloatware using root explorer. Since the last couple of days i am facing a weird battery issue.The phone takes forever to charge using the wall charger, and within one hour the charge drops to 1%, if i continue to use it without charging the charge slowly returns and goes upto 100% again. and then it drops to 1%, and the story continues.:cyclops:
I have taken a screenshot of the battery.
ps: i have done a factory data reset/got back to stock/ trying to install sungsonic hd.
So if on stock you've got this bug your battery is probably broken.
Hi friends,
I've been using my tab for over a year now, but since the last few days I am having issues with charging, the tab shows 0% and when I keep it on charging within a minute the battery shows 100% and then keeps decreasing, even after keeping it for charge the entire night the battery just doesn't charge, even last night it was charging but today when I woke up the battery was only 37%.
I searched online, tried a few solutions that i found, resetting the battery, tried flashing back to some older ROM, din't work. So guys please tell me is this a battery issue which would be solved by changing the battery only or is there any other solution?
Thanks

Do u try battery calibration app?
For the past few weeks, I've been having massive problems with the battery life of the phone (XT1955-4 RETEU2).
At first the battery would last for 3-4 days (Stock firmware Android 9 February patch) but now it will only last for about 12h, draining about 8% per hour, no matter if I use the phone or just let it sit.
Accubattery reports a deep sleep of ~90% while the screen is off.
Even if I turn the phone completely off it will lose about 5% per hour.
When I turn the phone off in the evening with 40% left, it'll be completely depleted in the morning with the battery LED lighting up when I plug it in.
At first I was on stock, then I unlocked the bootloader, hard bricked it first, successfully followed the guide by sluggedlemon (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-power/how-to/guide-recovering-hard-brick-t3989753) and then I checked out some of the custom ROMs.
Later I returned to stock and flashed OCEAN_RETEU_PPOS29.114-134-13_cid50 from lolinet.
Since then the battery life is disastrous.
I flashed the stock firmware again using the LSMA but that would'nt solve the high battery drain issue.
Then I tried to revert to OCEAN_RETEU_PPOS29.114-134-10 (February patch) but that wouldn't help either. (bootloader and modem couldn't be reverted)
All custom ROMs I tried seem to have the same problem now.
As I read similar posts about battery life issues after the April patch, I hoped that the Android 10 patch would fix it.
But even as the Android 10 update arrived and the June update soon after, nothing has changed for the better.
Is anyone experiencing something similar? Especially the battery drain when the phone is powered off?
Or has anyone an idea what could cause this issue?
Any help, advise or idea would be highly appreciated.

If it drains when it is off sounds like ur battery needs to be replaced I have a phone that dose that
It looks like there's something wrong with your battery. Maybe you should replace it.
My battery only drains a lot when the device is on standby. To avoid this I use the Naptime app. It helps a lot, you should try it too
