Does anyone else have an issue with the battery reporting when the dock is connected?

I know Gnufabio doesn't have a dock, but after searching the thread, it appears that this was asked before, but it doesn't seem to have been answered.

I've got 3.9.3 and when the TF is connected to the dock, it doesn't report battery usage. It acts as if the dock is the power cord and shuts off reporting battery activity in System/About Tab/Battery usage.

This also messes with the Stay awake feature in the Apps/dev/stay awake option.

I use my dock about 60% of the time and keep the "stay Awake" option on so that I can reference documents while I do my work. I do this with the cable attached and it doesn't go to sleep. Works great.

But when the option "Stay Awake" enabled, I take it with me away from the power cord, with 3.9.3, the TF always stays awake, I think because the TF see's the dock as being connected to the power cable. I take the tab off of the dock it goes to sleep properly.

I went back to stock and it works properly, and downloaded 3.9.3 and tested the archive via 7zip, and reflashed through CWM, same effect.

Would this be something that can be resolved?

Hi!

Finally rooted my B70 with Ravenclaw, flashed Recovery, and the Revolver, and all works good...

Thanks for all the work!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] juannicolas:
I too have the same problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] crzycrkr:
Blades 2 was by far the best, but it doesn't play nice with the new updates. I used to get great battery life clocked to 1.47, but now it drains insanely fast. The drain you are seeing is not due to the overclocking, its due to the kernel having issues with the newest uodate
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] uomocontratto:
tf101g

this rom is compatible tf101g 3g ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gnufabio:
Yes, you need to use the app "3G toggler" to make it compatible.

Been using dock since v3.7 and it has worked flawlessly. Using Roach's Prime kernel to overclock from Revolver Parts. Everything works great. Been using my keyboard dock all day and battery on Tablet at 97% and Dock at 47%. This morning at 7am I was at 100% on both and it's 4:15 pm now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gnufabio:
Revolver Parts Elite is on the Market. More informations in this post.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jtrosky:
C'mon folks - time to put your wallet where your mouth is! @gnufabio has created the best ROM available for the Transformer - now it's time for him to reap some of the rewards of his hard work!

If you have the means, please consider Revolver Parts Elite - it'll keep @gnufabio interested, especially now that ICS source code is out! Just think what he can do with that! :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] outerdepth:
So, I hope you're happy. I have really enjoyed your rom, I decided to go ahead and send you the $12.00 and buy Revolver Parts Elite, us Italians gotta stick together,lol. I hope you keep up the good work. I truly appreciate your clean rom. It works pretty much how I hoped a tablet would. I cannot imagine how much time you spent on it, but regardless, kudos to you. Thanks again. Have a great night, Giuseppe.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Agfadoc:
I just got the Elite, I really like the work you have put into this rom. I also like this method much more than paypal.

Thanks again man..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Hammerfest:
I had this issue as well, however, my issue was that I removed SetupWizard.apk and a few other crucial .apk's from the ZIP before I flashed (I am a custom-a-holic), I dont know if this is the same issue for you, if you modified it before you flashed, but also see if the Home button works proper as well... that was also tied to the dock not reporting properly :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Agfadoc:
Thanks for the help. I didn't remove the file and my home button works. Basically this is the only thing I have found that doesn't work for me. I love the revolver parts aspect.

I can work around it, but it's just one of those things that has me twitching for the moment.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] KingDavid63:
i think that is normal is it not? becuase it's basically charging off of the dock... dont kjnow just got the dock and this is only rom ive used it on...

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

Primes OC kernel is the only one compatable with the new firmware for now... too bad clymsyn and blade aint doing nothing atm...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bedroc:
this Rom just keeps getting better. So you know I mean it when I say, Thanks Gnufabio for all the work you put into Revolver. I bought the Elite. Thanks again!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Agfadoc:
Actually, on mine, it reacts differently on the stock rom, the battery is being monitored with the use of the dock, ie. monitoring screen use, wifi use etc. and somehow the stock rom knows that its the dock and not the power cable plugged in. When the dock is connected now using 3.9.3 it thinks it's the power cable. I've only used this rom, so I have no other reference other than stock and this.

I finally rooted the TF yesterday morning and was using the stock rom all this time and was trying diagnose an issue I was having after the last update. Happily rooted...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chrisgto4:
Rooted with razorclaw, installed cwm, flashed prime rom. Wiped all, flashed 3.9.3 and it won't boot. Tried 3 times.

B80

Anyone got an idea?

Is there a base I'm supposed to flash first
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] parmend:
It seems when I press the home button to get to the home page my home page is blank and takes a sec to load up. Any suggestions?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bleached45:
It sounds like the homescreen is being redrawn (could be wrong here). This was just posted in the X10 (phone) forums.

This is a suggestion that supposedly works on 2.3, don't know if it will work on 3.0+. Test at your own risk and please make a backup first.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thomas_pieps:
great rom, but I have a little question. Could you share the earth wallpaper you use? my google backup restored my old wallpaper and I can't find your awesome one ;)

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

why the prime rom? just flash revolver and afterwards choose a kernel out of the revolver parts application
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rjvdhoek:
I have the problem that my dock is not charging anymore. I drained both batteries (dock and tablet) with the dock in place. Last night I charged the tablet (with the dock in place) without problems, but the docks battery is still empty. Now I am charging the dock seperate from the tablet, hope this works.

Did anyone noticed this problem? It occured after the update to 3.9.3. I don't know if it is rom-related.

Any solutions?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devilpera64:
I tried Prime Roach Kernel but it doesn't use OC tables so CPU doesn't scale propely :) i will return to Blades 2 waiting for next kernel build :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pudil:
great thanks

Thank you for your work fabio, rom is excelent. I am one of the "B70 newrooters" so I am enjoying a differences to the stock one a much!

My best regards,

Vit
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Wybo:
I bought the elite version this morning, and i have some dock isues as mentioned before.... but keep in mind, your study is most important :)

Thanks and good luck.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] comfort69:
That is the crux of the battery drain problem. The TF will not go into a deep sleep on this rom with the dock connected because it thinks it is plugged in. Once the dock runs outof juice the TF then acts normally.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jtrosky:
I am running the latest version of Revolver and my Transformer IS going into deep sleep just fine (as shown by CPUSpy). If your tablet is docked and the dock is being charged, the tablt will never go into deep sleep - it only goes into deep sleep if the dock is not being charged...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mr. phillip:
Hi!

There is, in fact, a problem with the dock, it drains battery very fast...

Even if CPU Spy shows me that the TF is going to deep sleep, the fact is that, with the dock connected, it assumes to be on AC power, and drains a lot of the dock battery... Without it, works normally...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Wybo:
I have no problem with that. before i go to bed tab 98% dock 35%, when i woke up tab 96% dock 30%.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jtrosky:
Same here - I do NOT have this battery drain problem that you speak of - and I use my TF in my dock most of the time...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Agfadoc:
I think every TF responds differntly, but I am curious, how are you guys monitoring the battery usage of the dock without the abiity to see the usage charts while docked? It stops monitoring the battery usage, so how do you really know?

I am not being critical of the rom mind you, I'm just one of those guys that is overly curious all the time.

Are you just using time as your guide to its perfomance? Battery monitor pro doesn't see the dock, dual battery monitors its depletion time, do others have a program that you can see the battery performance in the dock? In the stock rom it's an overall combined usage of the TF battery and the dock, but we know the TF is getting the power from the dock but we can at least see the overall battery performance.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Agfadoc:
I think I have the latest dock firmware EP101 - 0213, which might be important in the discussion B80 dock. B60 TF
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Wybo:
If you use https://market.android.com/details?id=org.flexlabs.widgets.dualbattery you can see the use of the dockbatery.

I do not understand why it does not work for you. It works perfectly here.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Agfadoc:
Thanks, I have dual battery widget, and it shows the time of dissapation. but you don't really know what is the leading item being used until you remove the dock and then begin monitoring. Is this correct?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Agfadoc:
As seen here..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] comfort69:
just so its 100% clear my TF is docked and not plugged in and it will never go to sleep.... as shown by cpu spy

It is "like" it is plugged in... that is how the TF behaves... but it is not.

Just because your TF does go to sleep whilst docked does not mean mine does. This thread is full of people with the same problem and there are others who dont have the problem... and you seem to be in this camp.

It may come down to different models.. ie B50, B60 etc etc..

For those with a TF that will deep sleep whilst docked (and not plugged in) but will go to sleep.. what is battery icon doing when the dock is plugged in???

Mine shows the charged icon whenever it is plugged in and the dock has power.... does yours???
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Wybo:
only when below a certain percentage (i guess 95%) i see the charging icon otherwise it shows the percentage and no charching icon.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] comfort69:
I have the same firmware.. Is there anybody with this dock firmware that is able to deep sleep when docked but not plugged in????
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Agfadoc:
Mine goes into deep sleep when I have the option "Stay Awake" disabled in Apps/development
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Wybo:
English is not my motherlanguage so maybe i just do not understand you. But the blue line is the dock and the green line the tabbatery.

you can see at my picture the times when he was in deepsleep. and that there is no big drain there.

/edit: yes i have EP101-0213
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] comfort69:
I get the charging icon on the TF all the time whenever the dock is connected and the dock has more than 3%. even at 100+100

The only time the charging icon is turned off when docked is when the dock battery falls to 3% or below.. and once this happens it will sleep fine.. Whilst there is power in the dock it will never deep sleep
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Agfadoc:
It's really not that big of a deal, but, I just had an issue before rooting my TF of my battery being used too fast, and I used to monitor the battery usage by component. (Settings/about Tablet/battery usage) and there you can see the items in general of what has been using the most battery.

With the stock Rom, you can see the battery usage by Wifi,Screen, processes, etc. with the dock connected and being used as one LARGE battery and it monitors the usage. With 3.9.3 it stops monitoring as it thinks the TF is connected to a charger.

I use the "stay awake" feature to reference information while I work and if you keep stay awake on, it will stay awake (and likely not deep sleep?) because the dock is connected. Again, no big deal, but I thought it would be good to share my findings.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] comfort69:
I hope it is that simple. That setting is about the screen behaviour when it is plugged in so it should not effect the TF when docked.... but I hope it does and unticking it fixes the problem :) testing tonight..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Agfadoc:
Good luck, hopefully it works. I know it didn't deep sleep on mine when I used that option.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jtrosky:
Yes, my tablet goes into deep sleep while docked (and I'm on the same version of dock firmware as well). I have neer had an issue with deep sleep though. It coud be a program that you are using that is causing the TF not to deep sleep as well. Have you tested deep sleep after a fresh install, before installing anything else?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] 24601:
Are you saying you flashed Roach's Prime rom, then tried to add fabio's 3.9.3 to Prime? I'm pretty sure that won't work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] livinsacrfice:
Just rooted last night and got this great rom installed.

I can'tseem to get overclocking working though. I am using default kernel with rom and using setcpu. Do i need to use a different kernel or app?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Agfadoc:
download revolver parts and select another kernel, the stock one only goes to 1gz.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jjdavola:
Three questions, including one that I asked before but slipped through the cracks:

1) Is there a way to delete/uninstall the Revolver removed apps? I installed them not fully realizing what they were. :o

2)

3) Is there a way to donate through PayPal to get the Elite version of RP?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] livinsacrfice:
Do you have a recommendationon which kernel for latest firmware?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jjdavola:
I've tried all the kernels except for the Prime one (just because I haven't had time recently) and I found Clemsyn 13 to work best for me. Although you should try them all to see which one works best for you since the kernels appear to vary based on how you use your TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] premler:
According to someone, you should use clemsyn kernel to get the HDMI to work.

Does that kernel work with this rom? And if it does, where can i fint it? And will i flash it through cwm like any other .zip? :o
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chrisgto4:
I can't get revolver to boot
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] elpeterson:
1/2 Download Titanium Backup (something I recommend buying too, you can copy the pro key to use on phone/tablet). You can go in there and freeze or uninstall apps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jjdavola:
Thanks. I have Titanium Backup, but my fear is if I uninstall or freeze the Lenovo app that caused me a problem before, I'll have to restore or reflash everything again (which I'd prefer not to do).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Wybo:
make a backup first... remove the lenovo things and try :)

if it gives troubles you can easily fix it :)

(But i do not think that it will gives troubles as that the apps are only 'extra'. I removed the Asus wheater app without any problem. And lenovo apps are not even original for the TF.)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pside15:
When you say that it won't boot, what exactly do you mean? Does it even try to boot? Does it get stuck just looping the boot animation?

Did you boot up completely after you flashed Prime or just tried to install Revolver 3.9.3 right after you flashed Prime?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] goodintentions:
That was a long time ago, man. All custom kernels have this by now. For the moment, the only kernels that are compatible with the latest firmware update are clemsyn v21 and prime.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] premler:
Oh I see. Well, which would you recommend that I used? Which is the best kernel for this rom?

I see that there are som kernels to choose between in the Revolver Parts-app.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] strker45:
are there any usb 3g dongles that will work with T-Mobile USA? if so can you pm me the link.

Gnufabio,

I just became an Elite user to support you fully with your awesome Rom.

Keep up the good work (becoming a flashing junkie with all the updates :))

Love it!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] crzycrkr:
Thank you for the Prime kernel! Very similar performance wise to Blades 2 before the newest update. Now I don't need to deal with the margy performance Clemsyn gives me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jyams:
Here you go.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jyams:
Same for me. I get deep sleep excellence! In addition, when you charge the dock (with tablet inserted) the TF automatically boots up (if powered down). I usually hold on the power button and shut it down while charging. Works like a charm. Do the same with tablet only on charger. I too use CPUSpy and have found it to be very accurate. I also use SetCPU profiles and minimize all power consumption for the charging state unless I'm actually using it while charging. I've found the profiles work great for conserving the battery and don't compromise performance at all. I also set voltages however the Prime kernel (which I currently use to overclock) does not include any voltage settings.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gnufabio:
Fantastic :D

In the future i want to implement a menu in which you can choose the plugins to download (like other kernels, mods etc), but i think I will need a web hosting for that :p
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] guptaavi:
Downloading the donate version of the app. now! Thank you!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GIKE:
Maybe you have any AD blocker that blocks the download.

I downloaded the rom and the update a few minutes ago without problems.

That sounds amazing!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] 5hamz:
lol...thanks!

I give up!

:)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thering1975:
Had to switch to clemysn kernel as voodoo sound plus stated error with original kernel not compatible and cifs would not mount any shares, switched kernel both a ok now . Just fyi
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gnufabio:
Thanks :)

Btw I'm working on a new kernel :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] housry23:
Downloaded fine in Chrome for me.

do you mean dalvik cache ?

or cache partition ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] 5hamz:
thanks for the info.

I'm still not having any luck with these links! think it has something to do with the adf.ly urls.

Use part of ram for RAM-DISK

Fabio i was thought if can be used some part of TF RAM as RamDisk ;) for example, using revolver-part the user can chose what app load to startup and by default try to load some System part to startup. What do you think?

Ah can be inserted into Revolver Part screenfix at the startup automatically.? ^^
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Agfadoc:
I am not trying to be a pain about the dock charging, but my curiosity is getting the best of me. I am sharing what I am finding as it appears the dock is discharging faster than it should.

Here is an image from Battery Dock Chart Widget in the market:

I have Auto Airplane mode active and have not plugged in my device all morning. I do have System Tuner Pro killing the apps on turning off the screen, and set CPU to throttle the processor down to 216 while the screen is off.

Stock kernel and standard 3.9.3 on a B60 Tab and B80 dock.

You can see the wifi turning on and off as I have used it a little here and there, but it is showing that screen remains active, even though I can see that it isn't. It is reporting that the screen is in an on state.

In 7 1/2 hours of being off the charger I am down to 67% on the dock with a combined usage on and off of about an hour overall, the rest of the time its sleeping.

Here is the same drain over time with Dual Battery Widget:

Just info for the dock people wondering..

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

I will add that if you look at the times on each picture, the Dock decreased 5% in 29 minutes a four screen shots and a bit of uploading. It could be normal.. But I am nadroiding this setup now and going to check stock again for reference.
