When I add an event using Touch Calendar on my phone (HTC Desire Z) it is listed in a green font, and does not get replicated to my Google Calendar. If I enter an event in my Google Calendar on the web it DOES get replicated to my phone however.

I have Touch Calendar configured to show all calendars. One of the listed calendars is "PC Sync", which is where I believe all events are being entered by default.

Even if I choose not to display the PC Sync calendar it seems to put new events into it.

Can anyone advise on how I can my events going to the my Google Calendar instead?

From my experience with the Xoom, there is no direct workaround for now, unless you try other browsers and see their performance.

However, regarding specific sites, verify if there are native apps for them, like eBay, NewEgg, etc... it is much faster that way.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L0$t$0ul:
I think it is just that the sites are designed for a desktop where javscript performance is a non-issue. A lot of those site searches on eBay and amazon and stuff really lag on my iPad too due to all the "smarts" they try to put into the text fields.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djh36:
Do you guys usually have activesync on autosync or do you sync manually?

I turned on my g-tab after I got home from work yesterday (I used it in the morning before I left for work) and all I did was have google mail and google calendar selected on autosync and it took approximately 22 minutes to sync completely.

This is pretty frustrating considering it feels like my g-tab is crippled while syncing and 22 minutes is a longggg time to wait (for me at least).

Is this normal?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgruendler:
First and foremost, I have no idea how you could have started a thread in the development section with only 5 posts under your belt. Second, you started this off as a question, which means this belongs in the Q/A section of the forum. This has nothing to do with Android development.

Mods, could you please move.

To answer your question, if it is taking 22 mintutes to sync your email/calendar, you either have 1 million emails and thousands of calendar events or you have EXTREMEMLY slow internet. Syncing a couple hundred emails only takes seconds.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djh36:
Thanks for the response, and i recognized later that i accidentally posted in the wrong forum (i browse all 4 g-tab forums). Accidents happen right? Yes mods, please move this to the q&a forum.

And i dont see the need to be so fired up over how im able to post a new thread despite having only posted 5 times prior to this. What difference does it make that you have 300+ posts and i have 5? Especially when you consider that i have joined and been actively reading these forums 2 years before you joined. I could have 10,000 posts if i bickered over every incorrectly placed thread or idiotic statement but it doesnt make me any more valuable or special of a member.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgruendler:
Joining 3 years ago and only starting to post exactly one month ago today sounds like you signed up 3 years ago for some one off the wall thing and haven't been back since. Being active in the community is more important than how long you have been a member. And I am pretty sure there is a new mechanism in place in this forum that keeps people from posting in the development threads until they have 10 posts, and that is why I was mentioning the 5 posts.

[Vibrant General] Cartigan:
Never going to happen. The problem with Android phones is updates have to be filtered through hardware manufacturers. Hardware manufacturers have no interest in updating software for old hardware. In fact, they have a vested interest in the opposite.

[Vibrant General] bush2088:

[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
DEFINATELY.

The only reason Android is growing so fast is because... well..

iOS has 3 devices (generally) Iphone, IPod, IPad in the "smartphone" world correct?

Now think about how many ANDROID has.

A couple hundred no doubt, specially the HTC's lol.

Quality > Quantity

I'll give it to Apple, even though their closed, organization is better than a fragmented market.

Google should be looking forward to handing out all the updates THEMSELVES.

That would make a MAJOR change. Google can only regulate the things, Manufacturers can add w/e crap they want, but carriers can't. There's 1 date for 1 device to get updated, may get delayed but not 9 months delayed, maybe a week or two.

So technically, Apple is ahead of Android.

But just in that aspect, i love Android with all my heart, but thats the problem Android has, and there's a SMALL chance it'll be fixed.

Again,

Quality > Quantity

Anyways i just noticed i'm totally off topic.......

whats up?

ok so i have darkys rom v9.4 and i want to try a new rom called pilotx because im not really happy with the battery life and speed, and i got a little bored :D

so anyway, im kindda new to this flashing thing and i dont want my phone to become unusable for the next days so i wanted to know how to change roms the quickies and painless way possible.

do i just copy the files to the sd card, wipe and then install with recovery?

thanx
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
yes that is what you do BUT !!!

also remove the lagfix (if applied) before flashing the new ROM

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
i use MIUI now and its awesome !!!

it has a few bugs still but is more than stable for day to day use.

biggest issue is battery life - its about 1 full day with heavy use. 2 days with normal use.

you MUST follow the instructions perfectly, it can be a little tricky but will definately be worth it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolf1306:
Post your battery usage on your transformer, and how much juice you are getting.

Mine looks like it's draining much.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aarofloyd:
I had 100% battery when I started using it last night at 4pm used it heavily from then until about 830, which included the firmware update and some angry birds and I was just under 50% by 10pm after 1.5hrs of standby. Didnt plug it in until i left for work after some browsing this morning andwas at 35% then. Hope that helps!

I have an ipad 2 and a transformer and par to par my ipad 2 last longer, but I love honeycomb and it's probably due to the fact that we have real background applications
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brachiopod:
For my first charge, I wanted to charge it up and then run it down until it died to calibrate the battery. It lasted a good two days, probably 9 hrs of pretty heavy use as I goofed with it constantly. It was hard to get it to finally die, I turned the brightness up all the way and kept it alive to kill the last 5%.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipao:
It was draining pretty quickly at first but it improved over time, specially after the first FOTA.

I've been using it on and off over the past 3 days and it has just over 40%.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazz87:
Just wondering do we really need to run it down till it dies and then do a full charge?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brachiopod:
I dunno. People are all over the road on this, so I'll just give you my opinion. I don't think that full discharge of lithium ion batteries is good for them. These aren't the old fashioned NiCd batteries where that was true. The more you use your lithium battery, the shorter it's life. There are people that say otherwise. That said, on an Android machine, I think that the battery calibration needs to see the full range of the battery to be accurate; and it is worth one full cycle to get things working. That's why I did it. I'm not recommending that anyone else do it, that's just what I did with mine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msw1382:
I thought mine was draining fast at first but I'm on about 32 hours since it was plugged in to get its full charge. Of that a solid 3 to 4 hours of use easy. Currently at 19%
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richierich1212:
Wouldn't it take a couple of discharges and recharges before the battery gets conditioned?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tastycakess:
The other day it was on 100% brightness and light usage I think I got 6 hours out of it. 5 hours in use I'd say. Max brightness and touch intensive stuff like angry birds and playing w/ it FWIW. I'm sure at a lower brightness you could get close to the 9 hour battery life. On the other hand before work I unplugged it at 100% and it sat in a 40 degree car from 7:00am to 5:00 pm and only fell down to 94%.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
Asus does recommend a series of full discharges and then basically keeping it topped off from then.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirumirai:
I've been using it almost non stop since 8:00 pm, when it was fully charged. Now, it is 3:00 AM, and at 42% battery life. If it keeps going at this rate, I should have over 10 hrs of battery life. It is on auto brightness. I've been using it to study pdf powerpoint slides, playing some angry birds, and surfing the net with firefox. During the longer studying sessions, I used airplane mode. That probably saved battery life.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] den997:
I left my transformer fully charged last night and turned it back on this morning to find the charge at 55%.

Didn't seem to be any background apps running that could have accounted for the charge drop, though my wifi was stuck off requiring a reboot to turn it back on.

Anyone else with similar experiences?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazz87:
I am having the same issue. Last night I had 42% when I put it in sleep mode. This morning tried taking it out of sleep mode and the tablet reboot some time last night Weird. When it came back on it was down to 22%. Dont know but I am getting horrible battery life. Started using it at 10pm last night and by 1 am it was at 45%. Had on auto brightness All I did was surf, and stream music from my server. Maybe I need to drain it down tonight......
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirumirai:
That shouldn't happen. Maybe try turning airplane mode on before you go to sleep? Or maybe you need a task manager?

Attached an image of my battery life. I definitely got around 11 hours on one charge.

As for recharging, it seems to recharge to full in 2-3 hours.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
I'm finding that during actual use, my TF is doing about as well as my Xoom. However, the Xoom is using MUCH less battery while on standby. Where the TF is burning around 2.5-3%/hour on standby, the Xoom burns <1% on standby.

I'm still on the original build (i.e., haven't had a single update applied) and as noted earlier in the thread some things might have been optimized. And, I'm still burning on average around 3.5%/hour, so that still translates to over 25 hours battery life. Not as good as the Xoom but still pretty decent.

If it gets a little better in standby after an update, though, I won't complain.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zach Alt:

When mine worked, I used it for nearly 2 hours straight on wifi with the screen on Auto, playing games and browsing the web. It drained 20% extrapolating such I'm getting the 9.5 hours of constant use WITH games. I was pleased until my screen failed on me
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studentpilot410:
When you all drain the battery, are you taking it all the way till it powers itself off or plugging in at a low power state?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crimton:
i don't have exact times but on my first charge it drained fairly quickly and was below 15% in maybe 36 hrs? with my xoom the first charge lasted 5 days! so in comparison as of right now the xoom had better battery life, but people are saying it gets better so we'll see. i don't mean this as a complaint at all because it doesn't bother me to charge it and i love this tablet. just something i have noticed.

i might add that these times i have given are just browsing, using a few apps and games, but no movies are anything.

aftre seeing a couple other posts in this thread it seems the xoom may just be getting much better standby time.

Does CurrentWidget work on HC? Really curious for the mA in standby!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M@rtin:
I'm not happy with mine either - generally I'm getting about 2 days between charges with light usage, just browsing for 20 mins several times a day. I've tried a hard reset and not installing any apps and this has improved things slightly but not by much.

This is the one thing I'm considering returning the Transformer over. I got an iPad 2 on April 20th and fully charged it that day. With similar usage, it got down to 1% yesterday, so that's nearly two weeks between charges. I'd be happy with even half of that from the Transformer, but 2 days means it's lasting about as long as a smartphone!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetfann:
I'm also disappointed with battery life. I'd estimate that I'm getting about 5 hrs of actual use from full charge to full discharge. I could probably get more if I used the auto screen brightness, but that sets the screen to be way too dim for my taste. Hopefully I can double my battery life with the dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naturefreak85:
With auto screen brightness, you set it at the lowest screen brightness you want it to be at and turn it on, it won't go any lower than that.

If you set it at 50% and turn on auto screen, it won't go below 50% brightness but will go as high as 100% brightness
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetfann:
Nice! This works great...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
I take mine off the charger in the morning and take it to work with me, where I keep it tethered to my Evo and check email, do some light browsing and games when I need a breather, and read books during lunch. After my work day, I take it home and use it a little less since I have my laptop at the ready. I managed to squeeze about 11-12 hours before I decided to plug it in for the night, and it was at about 25%. I'm satisfied with that since that's my normal usage.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
I wonder if the updates are making a difference. Please report your battery life like this:

1. Approximate discharge rate (%/hour) while in use.

2. Approximate discharge rate (%/hour) on standby.

3. What build you're on (original, 1st update, 2nd update).

Mine are:

1. Varies while in use, but in typical (Web browsing, email, etc.) use I use around 5%/hour. More if gaming or watching video. This is about the same as the Xoom.

2. Standby is about 3.5%/hour. This is what I'm most interested in, because it seems like standby is where the Transformer uses more battery life. The Xoom, for example, uses <1%/hour on standby.

3. I'm on the original (March) build. No updates have been applied.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naturefreak85:
The problem is you can't gauge it by such, each device will be checking email at different rates, downloading different amounts of data. The best way to gauge it is to see how long of usage you get out of it.

An example, one day my Atrix may discharge at a rate of >10% per hour some days greater than such. It's a flawed way to gauge battery life, rather just look at usage time. If I use it for 2 hours and it loses 20% that's a good standpoint.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brachiopod:
I have the 4/23 update, and mine dropped about 3.4%/hr from full last night on standby. I'm starting to turn it off when not in use to save the battery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vlad_z:
I was looking to buy a Transformer but high discharge rate in standby (3+% per hour, even with current firmware) is a deal breaker.

I was hopping that with "tablet" Android 3.0 they sorted out sleep mode problem and somehow they did with Xoom but not with Transformer.

Btw, my Gtablet with Android 2.2 has standby discharge rate around 1% per hour with no email client running at background.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
Alrighty, sounds about like mine so it's unlikely they've fixed anything yet. It's definitely doing something inefficiently on standby, because I have the same things running on the Xoom (same email accounts, etc.) and it's far more efficient.

A question: are you showing "Battery usage data not available" when you check battery status? I'm wondering if that's been fixed in the latest update...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehdoughnut:
Topped off my battery last night and unplugged it when I went to bed around midnight. Checked it at about 8am and it was down to 95%. Doesn't seem as bad as some people are reporting, but worse than the Xoom that I had.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob1971:
3.5% per hour???!!!

Mine tends to lose about 3% or so in standby over 8 hours. I suppose it depends if something is actually waking and running or not.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naturefreak85:
That 3% per hour is with an email client. If you turn off email checking you would most likely be at the 1% per hour. It all depends on background apps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madsquabbles:
that 3%/hr sounds more like it's not sleeping properly. the nook color did that when i was using cm7 b/c the couldn't get sleep right.

my xoom always has wifi on and bg sync and doesn't lose battery that fast.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M@rtin:
One thing I noticed on mine is that I've got an Exchange email account setup and if I set the frequency to never, it seemed to be acting as though it was set to push. I'm not sure if that was because I had the email widget active so I've removed that and will keep an eye on it.

This morning was approaching 3 days since my last charge and it was at 10% remaining. Usage has been probably 3-4 hours max of browsing/email, plus maybe 15-20 mins of watching youtube.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost83:
Is there a way in honeycomb to check the battery history like on the android phones? I'm talking about the one you have to get to by entering in a special phone number. From there you can look at the partial wake usage and see what's been using the battery the most while sleeping.
