I have no battery problems.

It is probably interesting to mention that I am almost always connected to WiFi (at home, at work, at friends). It's only for an hour a day that I don't use WiFi due to traveling. Needless to say that 2G/3G/HSDPA is turned off when I'm connected to WiFi.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nilezon:
As I understand it, the DIR-655 drain is not the same issue as the Android OS battery drain bug.

Until proven otherwise, let's keeps these issues separated and please create a new topic for the DIR-655/Wifi-N/etc. bug.

On topic:

I have very high battery drain on two different Galaxy S2, none of them connected to any wifi. Android OS is at 40-60% in the battery statistics. Disabling background sync seems to work (I'm having two Exchange accounts, one SyncML and two reglular IMAP syncing every ~4h).

Killing the Program Updater, IMEITracker, SocialHub and Wifi Sharing services and setting all e-mail accounts to maunal sync seem to reduce the drain, but AndroidOS is still using 40+ %, so I guess it could be improved even more.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jclarel:
On XWKE2, rooted.

Battery at 93% after 11 hours, with some calls, sms and wifi connection on and off.

Android OS at 25%

Mobile data switched off.

Background data enabled.

Auto-sync disabled.

Is this normal battery usage?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] earthdome:
Hmm. This is weird. I used to have 0% time without signal with WiFi on for the whole battery cycle. And the percentage decreased when i switched to network data for few hours after the next recharge. I even tested it twice to confirm it. But now, it always shows 100% time without signal. I wonder what triggers it
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DocRambone:
The "android os" seems to be active 2 min /h

The % posted in battery status is dependant on the phone use.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dagrim1:
nah... just insane good (especially with usage)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paranoid2007:
Yeah, but with mobile data and auto-sync disabled there's not much going on, which needs battery. Guess what: I switched my phone off and it lost 0% in 3 days. :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dagrim1:
Haha, that's true of course... Kinda overlooked the mobile data thing.

But still, with some actual use (and wifi instead of mobile data) I think it's still pretty good.

Anybody tried this btw?

Here is what the phone sleeping and good battery life is supposed to look like, unlike on my Sgs ii which shows hours and hours of CPU time in suspend. This is got my Sgs vs the Sgs ii. Also the Sgs ii had not even been on or used for the last 4 days as I am back to using the Sgs due to this issue. Or it would even have been worse.

Sgs

sgs ii note high cpu usage over the week (really only 1 day or so as i havent been using it)

obvuiously the same major problem others have reported.. innability to sleep and high suspend cpu usage.. this with ke2 firmware.. with earlier firmwares it was high usage in the wifi sharing stuff..

guys, i am having an issue with my sgs2 that is i only can connect to 2g data network (Edge). HSDPA and 3g never connects at all. is this related to the Fastdromancy thing. please take a look at my post for more information

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1073958

im seriously thinking of returning it to handtec but if you think the problem is due to the Fastdromancy, i will wait for a fix hopefully
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lgkahn:
no fast dormancy only has to do with the phone going to sleep.. your problem is either hardware related, incompatibility with the phone for your providers 3g freqs, or problems with your sim or apn settings.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] slyydrr:
Sadly no. Sorry man, wish I could help :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dryspuri:
Hi everybody just for my replacement from o2 uk

I installed alogcat, and saw fastdormancy returned true rather than false and our stops after some seconds, not like earlierphone which used to go on and on

Will report battery life later :-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dryspuri:
that is a relief
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lgkahn:
so are you saying you think this is some hardware problem.???
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] beppez82:
Is it normal to have FD ON evry 5 sec also with screen on?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] slyydrr:
Yep, the screen being on doesn't prevent it from checking. Remember, fast dormancy is essentially an attempt to put your data connection into a slumber. If your screen is on but you're not doing anything with the data connection, you might enter Dormancy if your phone/network support it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dryspuri:
That is what i thaught otherwise why it should stop and show differently on two handsets, and i think that is what is causing battery drain
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] beppez82:
On the sgs1 same network with alogcat don't appear fast dormancy and i allways got a good battery life on it in HSPDA...there's any way to disable FD at all?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] slyydrr:
What firmware do you have on your new replacement?

Not sure about this yet. Someone pointed out a configuration parameter (I believe pulser) in another thread that seemed to indicate it being possible, but I haven't seen proof yet and sadly I haven't had a lot of time lately to dedicate to researching this. I'm still planning to check out the kernel source code to scan through it once I get a free moment to do so on my home rig.

As do I. I would love if a dev could throw an apk together or zip file that contains the notification bar widgets. I would also love if CM7 worked on the NS4G.

I am quite surprised at the lack of toggles for 3G on the NS. By toggling data when I do or don't need it, I can often triple my battery life.

So i was sitting here on my couch reading some RSS feeds. Played a youtube video and realized my right speaker had stopped working...

My speaker has been working since i got it and just stopped today. I then put presure on the lower right back side of the tablet and the speaker started working. I released the pressure and it failed...it appears to be a fault in the manufacturing process.

I'm ging to RMA mine but I wanted to put this out there for people that are having issues and thinking it might be a firmware thing...its a faulty connection inside the actual device.

Now I have to see if Asus will actually send me one while I use this one or am I going to have to sit here without a pad for a few weeks because of their cheap manufacturer.... i hate RMA processes....

Let me know if you have this issue as well.

edit: I also have the light bleed issue around the bottom and right side of the screen :(

Bubbled up housing around the bottom as well. I hope asus has changed some of the QA process....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] haupman:
I have this problem also. My right speaker no long works but the headphone and HDMI works fine.

I think the only thing to do is an RMA at this point?? How did yours go?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ubelmort:
Ive noticed today that the bottom right corner is a little loose and not connected all the way. I'll probably end up with the same issue. Im still in my 14 day return policey i may just return it for a new one before it runs up. Id rather not deal with RMAing it to asus to tell me that its not broken
[Eee Pad Transformer General] streetsmart999:
Do it.. While u can. Cause all I hear is Horror Stories about RMA. I think I will deal with one Speaker than Spend additional $30 shipping costs and horrors following that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ubelmort:
yea thats all ive been reading as well is horror stories with RMA. This will be my 3rd exchange, I love the product, I just wish they would make a stable structure

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
You better hope the retailer allows an exchange. Otherwise you have to deal with Asus and in that case you might as well throw the tablet in the trash.

They're probably going to break the device and blame it on you or the courier anyway. :)

Is anyone else having an issue with charging? it worked fine for a week or more. now when i plug it in, to any outlet, it wont charge at all.. they are considering RMAing the entire unit, and im going to be torked off if i have to wait weeks to get another. argh.

just curious if anyone else is having charging issues.

thanks

My unit doesn't charge if the battery is above 90%. I see no problems there, what % is your battery at? That is expected behaviour to an extent to prevent overcharging of the battery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremedroid:
Mine did that once and I just left it alone for awhile and it started to work again on its own.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dunginhawk:
i only noticed it because its asking me to connect to charger now.

so its at 11% right now.

Tech wanted me to trickle charge to see if i get anything out of it. Its not working.

Is there any lights on the adapter? i cant remember? but i think the unit may be bad.

SOOOOO pissed, now i have to wait weeks for a replacement to show up.

Has anyone else had a unit they have had to RMA??? is so, did they send a brand new one, sealed in box? if so, i have an extra here, ill just use it and sell the RMA one when it comes in.

thanks

EDIT: i had it trickle charging in the off position. just turned it back on. then plugged it in to wall. seems to be charging now.. WTH. wonder if its something with the dock?

TF101 not charging after run flat issue - SOLVED

Hello

I also had this problem. The tablet drained the docking station dry, and then neither device would charge from the adapter.

I solved the problem as follows:

1) Remove table from docking station.

2) Turn tablet off completely.

3) Plug tablet only into the charger, at this point the tablet turned on, and began charging.

4) Allow the tablet to charge completely!

5) Reconnect tablet to docking station, and plug docking station into charger.

Voila, all charged :) Hope it works for others who have this issue!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] typci:
Mine also had charging problems. When I charged it, it never reached 100%. I took it to the Asus repair center, and they called me today and said they got it to reach 100%. Also, above 90% it reports the battery status as full.

I also to them about the battery drain problem, and gave them my tablet with the dual battery widget installed. Told them to charge both the tablet and keyboard to full, dock the tablet, power off, and wait until morning to see the results.

I'll find out what happens tomorrow when I go see them in the morning.

TF101 not charging today...

It happened already once some time ago, but leaving the power adapter disconnected from the wall plug for 10min solved the problem.

Now it's happening again... and previous workaround is not working.

Tablet is TF101, no docking keyboard, last version of ICS installed.

I've checked the various threads for suggestions: of course I tried the various reboot options; the only thing I'm missing is the refrigerator, but the power adapter is cold (tablet is not charging since 2d, and battery is still alive...).

I've not checked the cable, but have cleaned with air the connectors (just to avoid dust inside).

Any suggestion is welcome.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 33colburn:
I have had my charger stop working twice in the past 6 months. Both times I put the wall adapter in a zip-lock bag and placed in my freezer for 30 minutes. Upon removing I plugged the usb cable back into the adapter and bam, everything was working fine again. From what I remember, there is a temperature sensitive circuit breaker inside the adapter that sometimes gets stuck. Even if the charger is cold or has been left alone it takes the dramatic temperature of the freezer to unsieze it. Good Luck it worked for me, twice.

With ATT – Tmobile proposed merger acquisition (whatever you wanna call it), I am wondering what would be the future of Simple Mobile. I have been seriously considering switching to Simple Mobile once my contract with tmo ends. Simple Mobile gets is a reseller of tmobile phone service at a cheaper rate.

What do you guys know/hear about the situation if the ATT Tmo deal goes ahead. Would Simple Mobile still be around and if so, will it continue to provide plans at the same rates?
[Networking] ericatomars23:
I don't think they will get the deal because congress is not happy about ATT owning that much of the market.

Simple or non smart phones will seem to become a thing of the past. Especially when there are companies like Motorola that are moving only into making smartphones. Which think about it Motorola is what gave the world their first smart phone and they helped make what the phone has become and for them to only want to make and invest in only smartphones says alot. Regular phones are becoming a thing of the past, people rely on computers and smartphones are a mobile computer basically I dont see people taking a step back from that.
[Networking] sLiKK:
I meant the company 'Simple Mobile', not literally the phones from the previous years.
[Networking] caffeinated chris:
not to mention motorola was not the first smartphone hahaha. I think that pertains to Palm and Blackberry, followed a couple years later by iPhone and then android phones later haha.

As far as I know Motorola was definitely not the first.

And back to Simple Mobile, I was wondering the same thing. What will be the future of Simple Mobile? Will it stick around? I'd say probably. Is it worth it with the 1gb cap? eh. Will they change that? That'd be awesome. I'd go to them for sure.
[Networking] sLiKK:
I thought their data cap was somewhere around 4/5GB...sucks to know its 1gb..way lower than tmo.

Anyone know how to get droid VNC Server app to work? It installs, and I can start the server, but by default it is listening on a TCPv6 address, not v4. I can ping hte v6 address from computer, but cannot telnet to port 5901 or 5801 from computer.

On DX it only listens on v4 TCP and it works.

Paradise Island help

I haven't played the other games mentioned, but I do have Paradise Island. I know it doesn't help now, but in the future if you have root, you can copy your saves out of /data/data/com.seventeenbullets.android.island/files. Another thing that you can do now to get back to where you were is to set up the things that you want on your island, then go to settings and change the date to one day ahead and submit and then go back to the game. It will cause a force close if you are suppose to get a reward for coming back multiple days in a row on that day. Just reopen the game, collect your income, make your tweaks and repeat. Once you think you have enough money or island pia (whatever they are called, you can start getting these when you buy a business center or the bank) you can change your date back to the current date (make sure all buildings are repaired before you do this). You will then notice that the time until collect on things are superlong. Just send each building to the storage and then replace it back down where you want it. The timer will start over. The only thing is that you will not get the multi day rewards again until you make it back to the date you stopped at originally.

Another hint is that moving plants that are already on your land around counts as moving buildings for the achievement, so you can get a loarge some of money from doing that with no money involved until you get all levels of the acheivement. Hope some of this info/cheats help.
