[EVO 4G General] schmay33:
I can't believe how bad the battery life is compared to rooted roms. I can't go 7 hours without running out of battery.

I use music streaming from Google music for about 1 hour, internet probably 20 minutes for every hour on and texting periodically. No calls no pictures. Sync is set to manual and don't have any apps that I know of working in the background that are ruining my battery life.

My $0.02
[EVO 4G General] cg 112358:
well the streaming from google music will take up a lot of battery considering its using data to stream and your speaker to play music (even if your using headphones...it'll use battery) internet takes up battery too....so no wonder you have crappy battery life

a lot of rooted ROMs have custom kernels that allow the user to over/underclock their cpu's and undervolt their batteries therefore giving them better battery life.

i flashed the 2.3.4 hktw zip though cwm4 and after reboot im stuck on motorola logo with "unlocked" at the top. any idea on how to get past this? thanks in advance for any help
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
Came across this tweak and thought I would share it.

I take no credit, other than pushing it to my phone to make sure it was compatible.

For this to work you must be running a kernel that supports init.d (Bali)

Follow directions on the link (I used method 2) Not sure about the flashable version

After pushing the file, reboot into CWM clear cache,dalvik, and fix permissions.. Reboot let sit about 10 minutes to rebuild dalvik, and reboot one last time..

Make sure to thank JUWE11 for this!!! :D

I downloaded Emulator Roms Plus over at http://slideme.org/ and they run great on the Flyer. Nintendo, SNES, Genesis, N64, and a few others. What's nice is that the rom's and emulators are all there so there's no need to scour the internet looking for roms. So far I've run Mario Kart 64, 1080 Snowboarding, and Tecmo Bowl without a hitch. They look great on the Flyer in full screen and the virtual gamepad does not take away from gameplay :D

My problem and question is this : are links in a .PDF file working for others using the adobe PDF viewer for mobile devices?

By links I do NOT mean URL addresses but rather links to pages.

I'm don't know if this features is unavailable on the mobile version, if its a rooting issue or I'm doing something wrong.

I tried my wife's fascinate with no luck aswell. I've tried other viewers no luck.

The files are company distributed and work fine on a PC. The links work on another guys iPhone.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA.

So I can get this one for $300 brand new, slightly old but never used from a rep at Denon. http://usa.denon.com/us/Product/Pag...roductId=548d1dfb-79a7-4e9e-bc6f-c66f86ba4c9f

I just bought this one: STR DH520: http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs...gglsrch:havmodels_strdh520_p_6938407564_dh520

Is it worth it to return it and get the Denon?
[Off-topic] VeryCoolAlan:
The Denon has more features and way more expensive but ask yourself. "Do I really need all these ports/things" Unless you just wanna buy it to show off.

Me knowing I wont use all that shiny stuff in the Denon. I wouldnt buy it since i barely have any hd stuff lol

[Eee Pad Transformer General] chase7545:
I was worried about getting the dock because of all of the drainage issues reported but i finally caved in and got one 4 days ago from amazon(direct for $149). Charged it up on Sunday and I've gone 2.5 days on standby (wifi enabled) with ~2 hours of active use and i still have 72 percent battery on the dock and 100 percent on the tablet. AMAZING! no custom kernal just stock rooted. Anyone else seeing this with a newer dock?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jdenn:
Any chance you'd read the SN off the front? so the rest can compare?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ASR831:
Same here. Though I have wifi disabled when screen is off.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] diecast17:
Very interesting! Does Asus not want to admit it was a hardware issue and not a software issue?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Fixter:
Please let me know what is the model on the dock. We need to compare this to ours, if this is the case I can return mine and change it to one of this by Tomorrow... If only the new tablet models wouldn't come with the regular problems so we could return them... Oh one can only hope...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chase7545:
Here's the info from the box:

P/N - 0K06DK10060Y

EP101(TF101) - 1B dock M/33/US

S/N B60KAS...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Fixter:
That is the same dock that I have, not that I have been having issues with it. But I needed to check.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aligatro2010:
I think you need to look at the serial number instead. Mine is B50KAS... his is B60KAS.... Mine does lose charge when I leave it over night, but I think it's because of wifi turned on. I can see my tablet on the router's page even when it's in standby and it shows level of signal.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tortel1210:
Can you confirm that it also does not loose a charge when off/disconnected? If so, Im going to RMA mine with newegg, Im tired of loosing 30%+ when it should be completely off
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chase7545:
Sure I'll turn off/disconnect tonight and check it in the morning
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
What's the firmware on your dock showing as?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Alwyna:
I've got the B60KA as well. No hard drainings like the others described in this forum. Yesterday, 4pm @ 100%. now (8am) i've got 87% (wifi enabled all the time)

3.1 Stock HC, MobileDock Version: EP101-0209.

I got the dock from Amazon Germany at saturday (25th June)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gig103:
Just chiming in, my dock is a B50.... serial and drains 5%/hr in standby and 2%/hr when the TF is off. 2 weeks left on my return window, so I'm tracking this thread :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] adiliyo:
i have a b60k and my dock killed my tablet the other day when i left it on.

i'm pretty sure it has to do with wifi settings, since the transformer thinks it's charging when it's connected to the dock. i'll change it to turn wifi off when asleep tonight and see where it's at when i wake up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mysticc:
B50 - heavy draining on standby and shut down
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rumitg2:
B40 also kinda drainy
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mocktor:
B50 No drain
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zaibatsu:
B50 same drain on standby with wifi and powered off, approx 2%/hour
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chase7545:
UPDATE 0 percent drain overnight!!! Dock firmware is EP101-0209. I'm testing wifi on vs off today. Based on the feedback from this thread and the other relating to dock drain its starting to look for sure like it was a hardware problem that they've fixed in the most recent units that are shipping.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
There appears to be two issues.

1. The TF can not distinguish between the dock charging it and being plugged into the AC adapter, and therefore keeps the wifi alive when docked, but off.

2. The battery management on the TF and dock is flawed in that it will continue to power the device until the battery drains completely. This does permanent damage, It should be disconnecting the battery at a level that will not prevent it from being charged using normal methods.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sageth:
I've got a B50KAS dock and it seems I've got half the problems:

1. In standby / off the dock battery gets drained quicker then it should.

2. The dock battery does not drain completely. It drains till 3% after which the tablet batteries get used instead. I've had this happen multiple times and the dock still works perfectly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] evening2005:
Not really. One previous poster reports having a B60.. which has still drained his dock battery.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
Same here. I have my docked tab drain down until the unit will not boot. It takes about a week. At that point I plug it into the charger and in a few hours everything is charged.

Based on Asus' published specs I would expect charging the tablet from the dock requires more power than tablet's battery. The batteries in both unit are the same and Asus says adding the dock increases the battery life by 50-60%. Therefore 40-50% is loss in the charging process.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brachiopod:
I don't know if I's worry too much about it switching over at 3% vs. draining completely, the "3%" figure is probably calculated by software based on your previous usage and may be off, whereas the switchover is probably hardware based and set at a fixed point where the battery is drained. Draining the last bit out of a Lithium isn't good for them anyway, so I'm actually surprised that it goes that low, the "0%" point probably has some juice left anyway because of this.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bob Smith42:
When the tablet is closed on the dock the screen dims, so there must be some switch action in the hinge.

Does closing the tablet influence the dock drain?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chase7545:
Had mine closed no wifi connected on standby for the last 5 hours dock battery dropped 0% while the tablet dropped 3% which probably means when you close the dock it stops charging the tablet. Also i noticed when you reopen it the screen automatically turns on so there's a switch in there. Maybe someone who is having the draining issue should push the metal hinge all the way down with the tablet disconnected and see what happens. perhaps the switch is broken in a lot of cases causing extra drain because it charges when it thinks its open.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BulletProofPoet:
Well, I'm hoping that the issue can be fixed with a simple firmware update. I like my Tranformer and don't want to be sending it back. It's frustrating, as I'd intended to carry my Transformer docked to a) help protect the sceen and b) ensure that I always had the keyboard to hand.

If they cant fix the issue of the keyboard discharging faster than it should, maybe they could build a switch into the firmware, allowing you to turn off the charging circuit when you're storing the device. This would, hopefully stop the unintentional running down of either battery.

It doesn't sound as if the B60's are a reliable fix to the problem if some are still exhibiting the issue.

I hope that's not the case - I don't like the idea of it being a physical hardware defect. Come on, Asus - it's a fanastic device, so let's just iron out the few remaining issues...even if it does mean a product recall.

Cheers

[Eee Pad Transformer General] HorsexD:
What if we push that lock key button on the keyboard dock and close it? think that helps with drain issues when asleep?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jojobou:
B40KA 2%/hour while off, 5%/hour on standby
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Canadoc:
Same here.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sageth:
I've been testing what happens with the dock battery when the tablet is connected, is in standby and is in "closed laptop stand". I haven't used the tablet during testing, only to open it and check the battery levels. So far the results are:

20:00 - Tablet: 97% + Dock: 100%

21:00 - Tablet: 97% + Dock: 95%

23:30 - Tablet: 97% + Dock: 88%

01:00 - Tablet: 97% + Dock: 85%

That's a 15% drop in 5 hours or 3% per hour. Considering that the dock battery has half the capacity of the tablet's battery and that the dock is charging the tablet's battery (which can't be that efficient) I'd say this would be similar to having just the tablet loose 1% per hour.

I'd think that is pretty close to what it's supposed to be.

- B50 tablet / dock
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
Sageth maybe you are correct, but i'm wondering wtf there's peeps now claiming that theirs loses nothing while docked and in standby. Thought I'm not too sure I believe these peeps as I dont see why it'd be happening to 99% of the users seemingly and not them...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aligatro2010:
With Dock - 2% 1 hour wifi off

without - 0% 1 hour wifi off

:(

build 5 dock
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BulletProofPoet:
OK, I just noticed a slightly odd behaviour last night. I shut the tablet down (full power-off) and then connected it to the dock to charge overnight. This morning, I opened up the dock to remove the tablet, and the tablet came straight to life.

Does it somehow turn itself back on when connected to the dock or charger? Could this account for the battery drain issues. Maybe not, as the dock should still stop charging the tablet when the tablet's at 100%, but it's odd, nonetheless.

My tablet and dock are both B50K's by the way.

Cheers!

Rich
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sageth:
I'm guessing Asus figured out what was wrong with the docks and has fixed it somehow. It could be that all B6-docks are fixed / not broken.

Some more results from my testing:

- 13.5 hours of testing with the dock + tablet docked in closed position

- Because of 4 times checking the current battery status Wifi has been on for at least 1 hour

- Starting battery settings: Tablet = 97% + Dock = 100%

- Battery settings after 13.5 hours: Tablet = 96% + Dock = 66%

That's a 2.5% drop of the dock battery per hour when it's in the closed position with the tablet in standby. I'll be testing now with the tablet + dock in the opened position to recheck if it really does make a difference.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] FrayAdjacent:
It powers itself back on when you plug power into it. Every Android device I've had does this.

So if you want to charge it while actually powered off, you have to plug it in, THEN shut it down.

BTW, how is everyone checking the dock battery status?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] faithblinded:
i have a b60 dock i just received from amazon. i love it, and will post my findings regarding it's battery performance, as noted by the dual battery widget.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sageth:
There are some widgets to do this like "Dual Battery Widget" in the Market.

I've finished testing the power drainage of my dock, turns out there is no difference between keeping the dock + tablet combo open or closed, drainage is always about 2-3% per hour with the tablet in standby.

So its better as having 5% drained per hour (which I thought I had) but it's still no way near enough the 1-2% drainage per 8 or so hours it should be.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tortel1210:
Got an RMA today from Newegg, hoping I get a B60 dock
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aligatro2010:
Did anyone try to communicate with chipset that is responsible for charging using i2c or similar ? If it supports it then we can "simply" send command to stop charging when screen is off.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] faithblinded:
I put my TF into standby this morning with the following battery levels: 100%, 32%, tablet and dock, respectively.

Bluetooth and wifi were both running(I could hear emails hitting the TF via my notification sound, and it's always paired with my phone).

At 6:30am the levels were at 100%, 32%.

at 1:30pm the levels were at 100%, 24%.

So that's just over 1% an hour in standby with the radios running. I will do my next test with the TF in airplane mode. So far, I'm pleased.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] marcmarshall:

I just got my dock from the ups guy a while ago, and now I'm charging it... what tests should I run to see if it is problematic?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ASR831:
I have been testing my new dock, B60, and so far with three cases, dock only lost 2-3% per case.

I have wifi to be set off when screen is off as well MobileDock Battery saving mode checked.

Case 1: Dock 74%, left for 6-7 hours docked, Dock decreased at 71%

Case 2: Dock 34%, left for 4 hours, Dock dropped to 32%

Case 3: Dock 10%, left for 8+ hours, Dock dropped to 7%

I will do more testing but I can confirm that the dock is not draining battery when docked, just as expected. It has been more than 3 days since I last charged the dock and tablet.

Will report more results after a couple of days.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
I lost 10% in 3 hours with wi-fi on, tablet asleep. Hmmm... is that good or bad?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] marcmarshall:
That's great. I don't even think you need to do more testing. From what I've read in this forum it sounds like there are some who have B50 or 40 batch who that are good also. We need some more tests from other B60 batch docks to confirm they are consistently performing better.

I have a B50 that only loses about 2%/hr but I am not happy with that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bob Smith42:
This is really good. Thanks.

I have a B50 dock and even with reed switch mod I am not seeing these results. I might change the reed switch connections. Last night I got about 3% an hour, so I am adjusting settings and trying other ideas.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Globespy:
if i went to best buy to pick up a dock, how would i tell if its a B60 version?

Don't want to end up with B50 and all the unresolved battery drain issues.

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] evening2005:
Serial number is on a small label on the front edge of the tab and dock. It's also on a white label on the back of the box (at least for my B50-- model).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] caveman999:
When I went to my best buy (yesterday) in Austin, TX they had no B60 models of either the tablet or the dock. I decided to still go with the tablet but wait until they get some newer version docks in stock. If your best buy is the same as mine, they probably wont have any of the B60s in stock. They said that out of all Texas, they only had one keyboard and dock in their warehouse.

I hope that you are luckier than me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
My tablet is a B5 (and I feel pretty lucky because I didn't know that the transformer had so many instances of bad build quality and mine turned out almost perfect except for light bleed that isn't noticeable until you check very hard for it..), and my dock is a B6. I've been checking its battery changes and so far it's been about 2-3% an hour. Hmmm.. I wish there was an on and off button for the dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Globespy:
Mine is also b50 and other than delayed typing response (obviously software) I'm happy with the thing.

Will check best buy here in LA for b60 dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bob Smith42:
It does not matter if there is an on and off button for the dock. Even if you turn off the dock *I think* the tablet sees something attached and so the tablet will drain in standby. This seems to be what my tests are showing with my reed switch dock mod.

I am still doing a bunch of tests, maybe we can get it sorted. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Globespy:
Checked BB in North Hollywood and they only had B50 dock, so I passed just in case the B60 has actual changes to reduce battery drain. I guess I will wait a month or so....no biggy since I really bought the Asus cause its a tablet.....I have several notebooks if I can't live without a keyboard :-)

Verizon Gingerbread OTA blocks wifi hotspot apps

I've read on several sites that the Gingerbread update from Verizon has an added blocking software that disables non-Verizon wifi hotspot apps. I've seen this first hand (and am waiting for a fix) on both Barnacle Wireless Tether and Wireless Tether for Root.

[Edit] Nevermind. I figured it out after reading Wug's entire post (link to that post in the other thread here titled "wireless tether") and saw that I am supposed to use the beta Wireless Tether that is part of the patch (yellow icon) instead of the released Wireless Tether for Root (green icon) I already had installed. So it works great now.
