Just a reminder.

If you get a dock less than B60(+) series you are getting burned on standby battery life. There may be a fix in the future, but there are many, many reports that ONLY the B60(+) series docks have top performance on standby battery life.

I noticed the junk (B50 and below) dock versions are being sold at $150 USD in many retail locations throughout the USA. Probably it is ASUS dumping junk stock on unsuspecting consumers at top dollar. Great job ASUS. :eek:

I have still been unable to find any B60(+) dock in any retail store and I have seen almost 100 docks in at least 20 locations to date. If any are available, retailers would be wise to advertise selling the B60(+) dock series because there are clearly worth more $$$ than earlier series.

However, I suspect ASUS is withholding the improved B60 docks from USA distribution in order to flush the junk docks through retail at top dollar prices. Opinions, opinions. LOL

Just picked mine up from newegg a couple days ago. The battery drain is also without a doubt a hell of a lot better than what people are reporting on the older ones. I've had mine unplugged since about 7am today and using it throghout the day since about 8. Its 7:30 now and my dock is sitting at 35%. Havent turned it off or undocked it once.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jojobou:
There is not much perceptible difference between docks when in use. The test is while turned completely off or on standby.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acpig28:
Got my transformer yesterday and dock today from J&R. Both B60. Updated to 3.1 and with 0209 firmware for dock. Installed dual battery widget. Fully charged both dock and tablet. Powered off the tablet with dock connected. After 4.5 hrs, powered on and widget reading 100% for both dock and tablet. Hopefully this is a sign that the dock battery issue is resolved. I'll see how much it drops overnight.

Do you notice any light bleed on your tablet with the brightness turned up all the way and a black background on the screen? I am trying to determine if it is worth returning my B50 tablet for a B60 when the only complaint I have is minor light bleed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acpig28:
I didnt really notice until you mentioned. There is minor light bleed on the lower border near the middle while held horizontally and brightness all the way up.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caveman999:
Okay, thanks. Mine has pretty much the same issue, just in a different spot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eldunco:
Turned off my tablet this morning when I went to bed around 2am. Dock has 9% battery left. Woke up around nine and it was down to 4% and the tablet was sitting at 98%. The tablet initially dropped to 98 before I shut it off and after the dock dropped below 10%
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pisugtooq:
I was lucky to have the keyboard dock pop up in my quick picks at Amazon the other day (5% off). I received the dock yesterday: it is a B60 and my preliminary tests show that it does not suffer from the battery drain issue. Today I left the tablet docked (while powered down) for 10 hours - the dock only drained 1% over that time. Even this may have been due to the tablet only being at 99% when I connected them. Also ran one quick test with both at 100%: after an hour, no change in battery levels.

I'm going to test both at 100% overnight today or tomorrow.

hhgregg has the b60 in Nashville
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
I have prime 1.5 overclocked to 1.6 GHz, with the original batch dock and tablet, both have less battery drain than actually advertised, so it's fantastic. I'm gonna say placebo effect on this one.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bob Smith42:
Oh yes. The third HHGregg I visited had the B60 in my town. I got it. Now I will get to the bottom of this thing. Thanks, thanks, thanks.

And, thanks for everyone's input. Keep posting if you find the B60(+) docks in your location. See ya.

I also have original tablet and dock (b40) and have the 2%/5% drain on off/standby. Did you notice drain before rooting? If so I might try rooting see if it helps.

Thanks for the info.

What's the S/N of your tablet? I'm owning B40 and ordering B60 dock, not sure if there will be draining problem or not.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanwarrior:
I got a B50 dock, bought from Best Buy just last week. Few days ago, I forgot to charge my dock, after using it during daytime, and left it in a car overnight. The next day the dock still have about 30~% charges left.

So it looks like some B50 dock doesn't have the problem of losing battery charge as much as the previous one.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:
I see that PC World in the uk now have B70 docks, so anyone that bought a B60 needs to upgrade immediately.......
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikey1602:
I got my B60K in the bundle pack forum Overclockers.co.uk a few weeks back. I was seriously impressed with the battery life.i don't have the drain but hopefully the incoming fix will solve the drain for people with previous versions of the dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanwarrior:
Is the B60 dock have BLACK SEAL on the box? Mine have a green seal, but my Eee have a black seal and it's a B60. So I assume the B60 DOCK will have the sam thing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slopokdave:
No. My b50 had a black seal.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jentwistle:
I just received a B60 today from newegg.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanwarrior:
Dang, then how would I know which dock is a B60 or B50? I saw some dock in Toys'R'Us and Best Buy, some have green seal and some black seal. I couldn't see the serial number from the box, though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiezane:
got my B60 from bestbuy a few days ago. it had black tape and the serial number is right on the back of the box. the battery drain is significantly better than my B50, glad i was able to return it to newegg
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanwarrior:
The Best Buy I went to have a BIG sticker covering the area where (I believe) is the serial number, so I can't see whether its a B60 or not. It does have a black seal though.

Mine is a B50 and bought from Best Buy 2 weeks ago. What's their return policy, 30 days or 45 days?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bob Smith42:
Every black seal I have seen in a B60, and green seal is B50. It might not be a rule, but good chances if you have black seal you will likely get B60 based on what I have seen.

I have no idea about Best Buy returns.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiezane:
30 days on the keyboard 14 on the tablet
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
+1 black tape is b60. Unless they changed the color of the tape which is unlikely.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alucard_6956@hotmail.com:
Got mine at office depot with the staples 100 off coupon. Bought the first one and returned after two days because of the non responsive screen issue. Not sure if it was a B60 or not.

Exchanged it for my current B60. This time i let it do the ota. Using it for two days and so far no problems, thinking of rooting it soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DilloDroid:
Well I have had both a B50 and a B60 dock. I think if you'll look my results of a test are back in another thread about the dock problems.

I have had a B50 tablet for about 2 months. I had my B50 dock for about a month before returning it. I have had my B60 dock for two or three weeks. So I have had them both at the same time. Both docks were used with the same tablet. The battery in the B60 performed and still does perform a lot better than the one in the B50 did.

As you should know with Android on your phones...if you want the battery to last as long as possible you can't have a ton of widgets running updating data. Some will override your other settings. I have my email accounts set up to not sync data whenever they want too. It takes less than a minute for them to sync when I take the tablet out of standby or click on the email application. I have the WIFI set to turn off when the screen is off. I have the track-pad turned off (I use an usb mouse) the home screen scrolling is amazingly fast using the mouse... better than just the tablet touchscreen or the dock. I use a Logitech mouse with a nano transmitter... a cheap M305 one. I am stock 3.1 not rooted latest OTA update.

I know there is a difference using my B60 dock with my B50 tablet over the B50 dock I used to have. A big difference. I'm not saying that some B50 docks might or might not have the latest features and that all the B60's or later do. I can only report my experience.

YMMV ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuggernaut:
So maybe I am confused...

So the implication is what? That some docks will drain all the time? Even when not connected? Or that they are always draining when connected?

I have a B50 dock. I fully charged it on Thursday of this week. Last night I watched a 45m episode of star trek voyager (online streamed) then I disconnected it and went to bed.

I have not charged either my tablet or my dock since then and have not connected them together.

I just connected them together while reading this thread.

Tablet is at 88% (I maybe used it for 30 minutes today)

Dock is at 86% (Haven't touched it for almost 48 hours)

So is this bad? Or is this normal?? Seems fine to me. The only time I have any issues with draining are when I leave them connected all the time. Then the dock drains out faster.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Enraged21:
Hi, I just rooted my friends g2x. After I was done I tried to get into hboot/bootloader by holding volume down + power button like I do with my phone. But when I did, the g2x just rebooted really slowly, and everything took long to load like it wiped everything.

I guess my question is, does this phone have bootloader installed or would I have to do that? If so, how?

Thanks.

Hello,

I just try this on my Asus Transformer and it seem to make a big different on the tablet smoothness.

Before when I either wake up the TF or running allot of program, it would lag allot. After the ram tweak, I can said it does make a different. Even after I had almost fill my memory up to 90%, opening new programs and swapping screen is fast. Android does a decent amount of work and return my memory back to 150 (and up) with the OOM Kill task. It did not cure my SOD problem.

I am current running the ram optimization with no other ram optimizer or task killer.

Here my TF configuration:

Prime 1.5, Netformer 1.5 @ 1.5GHZ, SD Boost, and Script Ram Optimization. The link is below. Check it out and let me know how it goes on your transformer. As always, make a nano backup before the tweak.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
Hi, if you're running prime 1.5 it has support for sysctl changes built in. By using /system/etc/sysctl.conf_default as a guide, simply put the desired settings into the /system/etc/sysctl.conf file and these will be applied on reboot by the 04sysctl init.d script that's already in the rom.

Or just use the script for the post above, it should work fine too.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] amerikian:
nice work !

By the way, what is SD Boost?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devilpera64:
can i use this tweak with the netformer kernel and stock rom?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frosty5689:
The default settings for I/O is really slow when it comes to SD r/w. With SD Boost app on market, it'll tweak the I/O parameters on boot. If you're running Prime, then it is already tweaked for you and is permanent.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devilpera64:
But those files can be applied on stock rom with root and Kernel netformer 1.5 or i can fall in some issue if i don't have prime 1.5 installed into TF?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jonitfcfan:
Apps like that or SD Speed Increase should be fine with just a rooted device at minimum.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devilpera64:
and the RAM tweak? if i apply it with CWM on the stock rom (as i have done with wpa_supplicant to turn on Ad-Hoc connections) it's ok or i can have issues?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jerdog:
Here is what Roach2010 already has in the kernel by default:

[taken from the /system/etc/sysctl.conf_default file in PRIME v1.5]

NOTE: only the values that relate to what is in the script that the OP links to

vm.dirty_background_ratio = 5
vm.dirty_ratio = 20
vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs = 500
vm.dirty_expire_centisecs = 200
vm.swappiness = 60
vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 100

Here are the values to place into the /system/etc/sysctl.conf file that Roach2010 mentions above:

NOTE: these are the replaced values that relate to the script the OP links to

vm.dirty_background_ratio = 5
vm.dirty_ratio = 90
vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs = 1000
vm.dirty_expire_centisecs = 500
vm.swappiness = 50
vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 10

Looks to be similar to this app => https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rs.autokiller&feature=search_result

Canny figure oot if yer sayin this is gonny help oor no?

I'm running Prime 1.5 and clemsys kernel v14b.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frosty5689:
Everything about how much "snappier" it becomes is subjective.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Globespy:
Cheers. I guess it falls in the same basket as autokiller etc. Highly debatable subjects.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] minhgi:
Just from my experience. When I have using the TF for 4 hours, I would have use over 10 programs. opening the android market up would take at least ten seconds or more. With the ram tweak, it open up in two seconds.

Opening all other programs there after are just as quick, as if you first start up the Transformer. Switching from screen to screen is very smooth. Where with out the tweak it would lag for a few seconds if I have allot of programs running.

My experience with the tweak vastly improve the usability of the tablet. Then again, it is subjective.

Did not know Prime 1.5 already have the SD Boost tweak? Can anyone recommend me a SD Card benchmark tools that can work on the microsd, SD, and internal storage? Been looking on the market, but not that work for all the storage slots in one tools.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Bob@Desire:
I am using the Clemsyn version 16 kernel. Can I use the CWM RAM Script?

Thanks a lot
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] minhgi:
I don't see why not. OC does help with loading up the program faster and durning usage. The ram tweak help with the multitasking part. It use subjective though.

Do a backup before tweaking it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] adiliyo:
would a complete nandroid be necessary or could we just backup the files it alters?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jonitfcfan:
A complete nandroid backup would a safer bet in this instance, or any other instance for that matter, in case you can't boot into your TF for whatever reason. It'll also be more convenient than having to find out which exact files are being modified and to use a root file manager to manually copy and paste the current versions before flashing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brando56894:
It seemed to help me on my tf. Surprisingly I didn't have anything in my sysctl.conf before I added this in.

I have asus eee transformer with kernel netformer 1.5 @1,5 ghz and prime 1.4 but after a succesfull flash wirh cwm i don't see the file in the folder and with the other metod i can't change permissions with root explorer, what have to do?*
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] minhgi:
You want use te second option. Push the script file into the initial.d folder. Then set the permission rwxrwxrwx with root explorer. Then reboot.

Netformer does not have initial.d built in yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wertico:
I have extracted zip file in download folder then i have set permission but when i tried to copy the file in the other folder root explorer don't give me permission.

maybe i must extract zip directly in the right folder?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] minhgi:
You must set the root explorer to r/w mode before you are able to drop the file in.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sonydesouza:
If you can't set root explorer in R/W, it's because you have a cracked version...

So, buy the app ! ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wertico:
Root exp was set RO so i set RW and now all works, thanks :)

P.s. now eee transformer is perfect, videoreview on youtube should be released after installing on eee:

-a new rom (like prime)

-a kernel for overclock

-adfree (to solve browser issue)

-cache cleaner and ram optimization for fast reponse of tablet

Now i would like a new battery with more power!

actually, sysctl is standard way in linux to tweak the way kernel works .. although I agree that this is highly subjective, unlike autokiller, this is the right way to boost performace ..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] andrew53517:
Okay, thank you. If we wanted to remove it do we simply just delete the file?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] minhgi:
Please note, you will not immediately fill the affect right away. You would have to check your memory usage from time to time if it returning any good amount of memory back. You should have done this before and after the tweak.

If your tf is performingg very well after 4 hours of use, you may not need the tweak. It is subjective.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wertico:
Da quello che ho capito basta mettere il file nella cartella e nient'altro, anche perchè non è un eseguibile

Ok fantastico quindi potrebbe essere anche un placebo visto che i vantaggi sono avvertibili solo a pelle...ad ogni modo ho postato un topic riguardante Tegra 2 OC vs Tegra 3 perchè sarebbe interessante capire il guadagno prestazionale raggiunto con l'overclock (in termini numerici) rapportandolo ai valori stabiliti da Nvidia di Tegra 3. Solo che non so usare CoreMark 1.0 (di cui ho inserito il link per il download). Se puoi ci dai un'occhiatina? :)

I tried the CWM install and it basically turned my otherwise fast running TF into a slug.

HORRIBLE.

Glad I had a nandroid to go back to!

Back to using Autokiller - even if it may not 'work' as well as this script it at least doesn't **** my machine!

If I wasn't such a flashing junkie I would have known that "if it ain't broke......"

Me: Hello! I feel I have installed RAM optimization using CWM and I think everything went ok (not sure though). I Netformer the kernel and root stock ROM .. I have seen with the explorer that the root folder there, as well as the 2 files inside (one of which is the script). how do you tell if it was installed correctly?

Him:From what I understand you just put the file in the folder and nothing else, also because it is not an executable

Me:Ok great so it may also be a placebo since the benefits are perceptible only to the skin anyway ... I posted a topic on Tegra 3 vs. 2 OC because it would be interesting to see the performance gain achieved by overclocking (in numerical terms ) relates to the values ​​established by Nvidia Tegra 3. I just do not know how to use CoreMark 1.0 (which I added the link for download). If you can give us a peek?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] andrew53517:
I didn't notice much of a difference. If any at all. So I unchecked all the boxes and hit okay. Then deleted the file. Now the script is turned off right?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chatch15117:
much faster for me. App store used to take ages to load and now it's instant, even the first open after boot

Just flashed the CWM zip file and it seems to have sped up my TF running Prime 1.5 with Netformer 1.5 at 1.6GHZ. Will keep it on for a few days to see if the effect lasts.

Thanks for the tip. Now I want to see if it can speed up my good old D1!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Cerfer5:
It works well for me. I used to have maybe 90 MB available in memory and now it's routinely 250-350 MB. Stock launcher never got up to speed (I have an app somewhere that's dragging the ship down), so I switched to ADW and it's working very well. Speedy and modifiable.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] minhgi:
Finally more and more people agree that the tweak setting actually work. Even Clemysn use the ram script in his new rom. No more said about if it is subjective or not. =)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Win$t:
Hi

I take it sysctl.config_default is not getting applied by the 04sysctl init.d script by prime 1.5?

also my sysctl.config is currently empty, so do i take all the settings from sysctl.confg_default and change the relevant settings from the OP? or just add the settings from the OP?

Cheers
