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.

@Chinaboy: What is "of age"? Mine is almost 2 years old and has been loaded roughly every two days, so say 300-350 times.

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.

Hey guys I just got my nexus s and im wondering why my battery is charging so slowly. I started charging it while it was completely dead and it took almost 6 hours too completely finish charging. Is there something wrong?
Btw I just got the phone yesterday and this is my second charge.

Are you using the factory wall charger or? Are you charging with a wall charger or USB hooked to computer/car? I honestly do not notice this problem with the NS.

I was using an iPod wall adapter right now because i forgot mine at home..
Also I know this is offtopic but can someone tell me how to optimize the battery life on this phone? Idle why but I feel like the battery isn't that great on this phone

Mine took like 3hour 20min-ish for the first charge. 3hour-ish for the second and third.

If you have the Super Amoled version, then you can use an all black desktop screen saver, switch your email/Facebook/weather syncs to a later time (2-6 hours instead of every 30 minutes), put the phone in 2g only mode when your not browsing the web or downloading apps, etc.

What the hell does this got to do with a 6 hour charge time ? As if the display is on all the time... or as if the syncing uses 10%+ off battery. It has nothing to do with this stuff, you're just not on the same page as the problem.
Try again with the original charger plugged into the wall socket, not into USB.

Why don't you read before you post tough guy? You sound real stupid. The OP asked an off topic question about how he can gain better battery life. "Hooked on Phonics" anyone?

Oh, I get it. Sorry, my bad.
I realised my Nexus S does take some time to charge up fully as compared to my Incredible S though.
Charger's rating is diff though after observing. 1A against 0.7mA

This has bugged me forever, and I've never seen anyone else talk about it, and it's a difficult/impossible thing to search for. If you turn your screen off while docked, then close the netbook, does your screen turn on? Mine does. my screen timeout is set to 5 minutes (since I use it like a laptop) so this is annoying as it drains an extra 5 minutes of battery. Anyone figured out a fix for this?
Sent from my Transformer TF101
mine was doing that all last week and it was killing my batterylife so that i would have 0 in dock and 60 in tab at the end of the day vs my normal 60in dock 100 in tab. i just reflashed revolver and rebooted a couple times and it seemed to have fixed the problem
It definitely is annoying, I agree. One thing that I've been doing is making sure the screen is on before I close the lid. At this point it has become second nature for me to do that when I stop using my tablet, and as such less annoying.
Still, a permanent fix would be nice.

I've reflashed many times and this issue has existed for as long as I can remember (back when I originally bought the device). No amount of reboots has helped, unfortunately...

Holy ****. This is fixed in CM9. It only took a year and unofficial developers to get it done. Now, to try to untrain my muscle memory from turning the screen on every time I close the device...

I could use some help here...I have been on Turge's Viper ROM for the last few weeks and getting fantastic battery life (increasingly better with each time I charge the battery). Well, today I took my phone off the charger and it has now dropped from fully charged to 80% in just an hour and 1/2, with very light to no usage, and mainly on Wi-Fi. The only thing that I can think of that is different is that I just got a new router. Is it possible that a new router could somehow be impacting battery life? I have not changed any of my wi-fi settings or other settings, really just been "business as usual" with this sudden battery drain.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for what could be causing this and how to fix it, please comment!

I went to bed normal. Plugged in my s3 into the charger . My battery was like at 4%. I leave the phone on because I use it as an alarm clock. I woke up at 6am and NY phone is really really hot I have no idea why? Why would this be? So I turn it off and let it cool down. Mean the screen was off and everything. Could my charger be bad or? It was so hot you couldn't touch the screen for long.

well do you have a custom rom on it does it have fast charge is it on? kernel? oc? voltage tweak?

We're going to need more info then that I am afraid to figure out what happened (if we can at all )
You flashed Clean Rom... did you
Use a custom kernel?
Flash the new firmware for the new update?
Flash the new radio for the update?
Any other things you flashed with the rom?
Any apps that have root permission?
I don't think it could be a bad charger .... key words don't think...
If it's not software related and it happens again it could be a bad cell in the battery perhaps and it's still trying to charge to capacity .... the more info you give us the more we can try and trouble shoot it.
Thank You for messaging XDA Anonamooose Tech support .....LOL
Anyone else have some insight?
Actually this happened before on my gnex . Thought the battery was bad but it can't be this battery also. What's weird was it charged it to 15% instead of 100% its like all the power after 15% was just heating it up instead of charging? Or could the battery be bad because I. Plugged it in again and it charged 33% in like 55minutes a 4400mah anker battery

Taking a hot expanded object and exposing it to quick contraction is how you pop solders and crack circuit boards.Exposing to sudden heat is not as bad as sudden cold. Plastic shrinks at a different rate then metal, and so on.
You got lucky.
I have the chinese variant of the standard battery and it's not nearly as good.

My Tab is 8 months old and never had that issue. Maybe it's software, maybe it's hardware.
You could try a different charger, too.
I borrowed my friend's USB cable and I changed my tab with my charger but using my friend's USB cable.
It took 2 minutes / 1% and when I using my cable it took about 3 minutes / 1% so I I think the cable is the problem.
BTW thanks bro for helping me
