[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo4sickness:
Yes I have watched ever review before I bought mine and no one really mentioned how it worked. What I have seen today is not what your stating. I have seen that the battery when from 95 where I shut it off when out for couple hours came back and than.

When I came back it was at 90 have been using it for 2 hours and now the bat is at 72 percent. now I have seen the Dock Battery go down to 91

So if it charges the way your stating than should the battey percentage on the Tablet be going back up to 100 and down this is what is confusing.

Ok Edit I saw the 71 climbing now but than what happens when it reaches 100 percent when does the dock start charging the Tablet.

and what I find strange when that The Dock battery went from 91 to 81 so 10 percent but did not give 10 percent to the Tablet
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vincepg13:
well it won't charge perfectly like I said unless the tablet is in standby. If your using it whilst connected to the dock dependent upon how heavy the task your carrying out is, it'll either charge slowly or battery drain will occur but a lot slower then normal because the docks pumping it juice but at the same time the prime is using it. When the dock is plugged in press on the clock in the lower right to bring the menu up and you'll see it'll show the dock battery percentage then two arrows pointing towards a second battery percentage for the tablet. This represents the tab being charged by the dock. It should always work like this
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SexyAndIKnowIt:
I just tested it a bit.

my tab was @ 82% and my dock @ 70%, turned my prime to sleepmode and waited 20 mins.

Right now: tab 90% dock 54%

As you can see.. there is a MASSIVE loss of energy... (in sleepmode whilst not doing anything rly)

imo something is wrong... terribly wrong...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo4sickness:
Why is there something wrong the math adds up not perfectly but when did you get the Tab because Its takes a couple recharges and discharges for it to have full capability.

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------

My next question is what hours are you guys seeing with your tabs.

I got up to 8 hours the first day and 9 hours the second. I wanted to not use the dock all day today to at least run down the battery fully and charge up full 3 times without using the dock.

My other question is when does the dock or at what percentage does it start to charge the Tablet. Because when I used it yesturday I had not detached the Tablet from Dock and saw it started to charge right away but the tablet battery did go down to 80 and than it started to go backup.[COLOR="Silver"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChiGGz:
Also keep in mind that it takes more energy to charge the last few percentages of the battery.

For examples: it would take less energy (and time) to charge a battery from 40%->50% as opposed to 90%-100%.

A more accurate test would be to drain your tablet to a much lower level turn it off, and charge it with the dock. But you will never get 100% power transfer efficiency so don't expect it. You'll be off by a couple percentages assuming the batteries are the same capacity.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vincepg13:
Well you've lost a net percentage of ten percent battery in 20 minutes. Charging one battery off another isn't completely efficient and the battery charges slightly exponentially but this should only make a difference of 1 or 2 percent over such a short period of time. Bit perplexing really, I would say keep an eye on it and it should get a lot better. If I left my tab docked screen down doing nothing for only twenty minutes the net loss between the tab and the dock wouldn't be more then 2%
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aragorn182:
That assumes that the capacity on the tablet battery is the same as the dock battery. 1% loss on the dock battery does not equal a 1% gain on the tablet battery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
My dock doesn't charge my tablet until the tablet is at 70%. Not sure if that changes when it's asleep though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jupppo:
The math adds up perfectly. Your dock battery is half the size of the prime. Meaning if you charge 8% on the prime it should drain 16% from the dock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soulctcher:
This is widely known and exactly correct. I do not believe this changes when the tablet is sleeping.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo4sickness:
Yeah thats exaclty what I can confirm from today stared when my tablet hit 70 percent
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] monkey10120:
Last night I left my tab in my dock.

Tab- 90% dock-78%

This morning

tab-96% Dock-31%

Yeah its bad! Its was sleeping all night
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkbahamut:
The Prime has a 7.2v 3380 mAh battery (24.3Wh). The dock has a 7.2v 2940 mAh battery (21.2Wh).

It is 13% smaller, but it certainly isn't half the size.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jupppo:
You cannot compare this. The docks takes power itself plus the losses from charging and discharging. The usage times ASUS stated in its specs are perfectly met with the example above.

Whether its good design or not is a different story, buts specs are met.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
Idk if it is real or perceived but I feel draining my OG TF dock's battery and my old LG OT's to really low levels, several times in a row (like a week), resulted in faster battery drains.

It's my opinion, not my science, and I usually charge my devices around <=75% when able just to keep enough juice for a good stint of work off battery, and take no issues going down to like 35% every few weeks. I also top off when able.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] philipp.ni:
Hi,

is there any way to deactivate this feature? I understand the advantage of this solution in terms of mobility of the tablet, but if you're running it docked most time it's not quite efficient, I think.

Regards,

Philipp
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kls629:
leaving the prime on wifi or anything that it has to be sync with will use battery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cameronsutor:
50% dock drain within an hour

I have be browsing the forum looking for someone with the same issue as myself, but have been unable to find the exact issue I am having - granted, I gave up looking when I found this thread.

The Prime and dock batteries have lasted pretty long up until recently, but within the past few days, I have noticed that the dock battery is fully drained when I wake up in the morning, while the tablet's battery may still be around 70%, so it's apparent that the dock is mysteriously draining without fully charging the Prime. Today, I decided to fully charge both and periodically keep an eye on it ... keep in mind that I have both battery saving features enabled under the Asus Customizable Option menu: diasble network on sleep and mobiledock battery saving mode.

After a full charge today (both the tablet and dock @ 100%) I used the tablet for a while, and when I put it away the tablet was at about 92% and the dock was at 99%. I came back to it about an hour and a half later, only to find that the tablet had drained a couple of percent, but the dock was now at about 57%!

I think I am going to contact Asus about it tomorrow, but I hate that i may have to return it for repair. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] okok2:
Hello

I have a htc sensation. I have two problems; I hope you will help me.

Here's my problems:

While mobile network is off and I send mms my mobile uses mobile network and sends and receives data.

I know that for sending a mms, mobile should send and receive data but it uses more than usually must use and it cost more than a normal mms cost. (Difference between pays is too much)

and

Sometimes the scene UI Resets! A white screen with htc 's name comes and launcher resets!!!! somedays 5 to 8 times in a day somedays it doesnt happen!

What should I do?

a third problem that I noticed is when I', recording video screen time out works! and after 45 sec turns screen off and video recording stops :(

(and bad voice recording :(( )
[HTC Sensation] brusko1972:
When video recording, launch the camera app instead of the video cam app then switch to video recording by sliding the selector to video. Try it, see if it still time outs after 45 seconds.
[HTC Sensation] okok2:
yes; I always do that ... and this problem sometimes happens and sometimes not!

Voice recording is awful
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
So I haven't been able to find anything on this yet. I apologize if it's out there and I missed it.

Will the Nitro do a true 3G signal? I ask because I just returned the Skyrocket because it wouldn't. My problem is I work in the Texas oilfield outside of good coverage areas. With my amplified cell booster my old iPhone would go from NO signal to full 3G. One month of the Skyrocket and it wouldn't work. The phone would only do EDGE, 4G, and LTE.

I've ordered the Nitro (will be here tomorrow) because on the AT&T website it's the only LTE phone that comes up when filtering search to show 3G capable devices. I want the LTE phone because when I'm home in DFW the LTE service is amazing.

I know that "all" phones now are "3G compatible", but the Skyrocket (and even my wife's Infuse) would never do anything more than EDGE out there.

I've noticed that some people use different APNs for certain signal options. I'm new to all of this and I'm not familiar with much about android.

Thanks in advance.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
f it helps, I have yet to see 3g on mine. 1 month + :-)
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
Well crap. Do you regularly travel outside of 4G areas where it should drop to 3G?

I'm beginning to think that all of the 4G phones exclude 3G. :confused:
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
I think it's more basic than that. My initial assumption was that if you're in a 3G coverage area on a network/phone with HSPA+, you'll always see 4G, but I could be wrong in my understanding of how the technology works.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
TBH, not regularly enough to have a 100% on the 3g thing.
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
If i may inject my 2 cents:

The Nitro can use the following cellular frequencies:

2G/3G Network	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

4G Network	HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100

4G LTE Network	LTE 700 / 1700

so if the cellular area you are in has 3G, and you have an APN for the 3G network, you should have no problems.

You can also scan the area for available frequencies by going to Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Network Operators -> Search Networks then choosing the 3G provider you use.

To be honest, i have seen my phone roam to the 3G network while travelling to ottawa from hamilton (where i live) via the 401 and Hwy 7 (transcanada). You will NOT see an indicator that you are on 3G, only the bars for signal strength will show up meaning you have a signal for voice. your carrier may offer 2G/3G data but i can't speak on that as i don't live there :)
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
Mine does not allow access to that search networks setting. :-(
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
@scott0: okay, just what _do_ you get under the network operators menu???
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
again, I do not get access to that menu at all, whatsoever, nada, zilch.

it is greyed out.
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
ahhh i didn't mean to upset you. The "greyed out" was an important piece of information. so the baseband has you locked out. you might try flashing the baseband image from Malnilion's thread (if you feel adventurous). You have a Nitro HD, with AT&T if i am not mistaken??
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
I'm not upset, not sure what would lead you to say that. I was simply checking out the navigation you pointed out as I like to see all the nooks and crannies of this device. Upon navigating there, I discovered the menu is not available and pointed that out.
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
could you try this for me please *#*#4636#*#* then choose Phone Information and hit the left most soft key (settings/menu) and try the Select Radio Band button please?
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
Been through that on another thread..."Select Radio Band" blows up on our Nitro (Force Closes). Bit of a bummer I must say.
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
thank you Namuna for your reply, i was specifically asking _him_ to try it. Anything scott0??
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
My phone has that disabled as well. I think it's because we have locked to AT&T? Does it make sense?

The Select Radio Band crashes here too.
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
@repherb,

You are running the SU640 ROM which unlocks the features you are describing. Most of us are not, so these settings will hidden from us. In other words, stop asking people to do things that don't apply to the stock AT&T/Bell ROM's.
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
If you would be so kind as to look at in my sig and THIS thread, i am running the Nitro HD ROM. please stop and READ next time before posting. The SU640 ROM is different than the AT&T or Bell ROMs, as you already know.

The reason I asked him to try it is because the option to select networks is greyed out and since i do not have that feature disabled myself, it only stands to reason to ask scott0 to try it on his unit. Just like i was experimenting on my unit as well, yet i have NEVER told anyone to stop saying/telling/doing something. We are all here to experiment and discover new things and collaborate with our peers to accomplish anything we can with this unit.

thank you LiViD.

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

@ V@no & scott0: Okay, i assume you have the option greyed out too, so it stands to reason that the Nitro baseband is locked to that carrier, which means we now have to find a way to experiment on a Nitro with another carrier baseband to see if it allows that option to be available in the normal menus. sound like a plan folks? any guinea pigs out there???
[LG Nitro HD] TheRomMistress:
Before this escalates to who gets the last word, I am going to leave a warning. Do not derail this thread into a battle or else I will issue infractions. Kthx.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:

[LG Nitro HD] TheRomMistress:
Livvid & repherb
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
Thanks for the clarification, wasn't sure if I was to be included.
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
In defense, he has asked people to perform test features that are not found on these devices (proven by three or more people so far). I read it as bad advice. Sorry for my skepticism.
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
I think I might be able to clear a few things up here in this thread.

I think the reason scott0 has the search network operators grayed out is *probably* because he's not carrier unlocked. I have access to that menu and repherb has access *probably* because we're both unlocked. Doing the phone testing also gives me a force close when I try to select bands. Also, LiViD, repherb is no longer on the SU640 rom, but back to P930 baseband on the Nitro system image.

Now that's all hopefully cleared up, lol, I don't think any of the discussion at this point has been relevant to the problem the OP is worried he'll be having.

I think the fact that we don't ever see 3G on our phones is because darn near all carriers these days supports HSPA+ and any coverage area that would be 3G on a 3G phone is 4G on a 4G phone. I think OP's problem is unrelated to APN settings or carrier settings on his phone. In fact, I don't know if it's even *possible* or even advisable to force your phone to use plain 3G (plain HSPA) because you don't gain any advantages by doing so. I just hope OP sees this comment, because I think it is the answer he's looking for.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Seriously guys, just cut it out. We don't need this here. It's a small forum for now and we all are a crew working together to make the best of our phones. Everyone is just trying to help one another. So be it if its a bad advice or what not, it is up to the user if they want to try it or not. There are some things here in this forum that I'm curious to try, but I worry that I might brick the phone, so I don't do it. It is duly noted everywhere that what we advice or try here is nobody else's responsibilities but our own. So please just relax and be nice with each other. Everyone's work here is appreciated, and we won't know if it works or not if we don't try them, again, with the responsibility being our own.

Please, let's just go back to discussing the topic of the thread before our admins get fat up. Funny to say, even the OP is not replying back to the posts.

Note: Sorry, this post was made prior to me seeing Malnilion's post x)
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
I agree with you Malnilion, but if he is out in the fringe in the oilfields, it also may be that his repeater can't do 4G HSDPA (he says it only repeats EDGE freqs), so the repeater might need upgrading to be 4G compatible. upgraded handset=upgraded technology...true??
[LG Nitro HD] hyelton:
Lets make this simple what att calls 4g. When itnsays 4G that means ur have 3G when it says 4G LTE that means ur have lte
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
Minor correction: when you have 4G, it means you have HSPA+ (which is faster than 3G), and yes indeed when you see 4G LTE you do have LTE :-)
[LG Nitro HD] hyelton:
Haha I wish att would make it have. 3G H and then use 4G for lte logo

You can also scan network operators from bell rom also.

[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
Thanks for all the replies guys. I didn't expect so much, but obviously hoped for it.

Unfortunately, none of it helps. My problem is that the Skyrocket never reverted to 3G. I'm hoping that the Nitro will, but I'll test it tomorrow.

My biggest concern now is that all the new 4G smartphones have left out the 3G "function". Basically, if the phone doesn't have a 3G setting then I'm out of luck. My old iPhone 3GS obviously wasn't a 4G phone so I didn't experience this. Now that I have a 4Glte phone I'm stuck with only EDGE/2G out in the field.

I've contacted the cell booster company and they walked me through the phone settings to check signal strength. It showed great signal strength, but the phone just wouldn't do 3G or even 4G. I've also tested it with the Samsung Captivate and the Samsung Infuse. I don't know if it's a Samsung thing or an android thing or what, but I'll find out tomorrow night what the Nitro does.

edit: I've also looked at searching for different network operators and those options are "grayed out" on my device as well.
[LG Nitro HD] MoreYummy:
Carriers are skipping some speed mode, so they can label it to LTE sooner.

3G, (missing band), suddenly 4G, lte
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
Now that I think about it, you might be out of luck if your booster can't handle HSPA+. It might be time for a booster upgrade unless you really want to limit your phone choices. It doesn't make sense to make a phone run just HSPA when basically all carriers support HSPA+. Although you'd think there's be backwards compatibility there.
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
After talking with the booster manufacturer a couple of times I've learned that the boosters only do 2G and 3G signals. I'm a noob so I don't really understand the difference between HSPA and HSPA+. Is one of them 3G and the other 4G?
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
I dunno if anyone's looking at this thread anymore, but I'm getting pretty good 4G signal with my Nitro on the booster where I was limited to 2G on the Skyrocket, Infuse, and Captivate. Must be a radio thing with the Samsungs???
[LG Nitro HD] bmxant:
I'm getting a MUCH better signal on the Nitro than i was on the AT&T SGII :cool:
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
Hmm, I figured the Samsung Galaxy phones would have good signal. Either way, I'm glad I get 4G out there now. I've determined that the Nitro won't ever show 3G either. I guess all the new 4G phones are not designed to show 3G.
[LG Nitro HD] merujmar:
I had never seen 3G on my nitro either until yesterday when i lost signal completely.

It first came back with Edge, a little E on top of up and down pointing arrows, then the E turned into a G, something i had never seen before. Then 4g came back.

I'm guessing the G was for 3G
[LG Nitro HD] gmkelly001:
The G might have been for GPRS, which was the predecessor to EDGE data service.
[LG Nitro HD] gte460z:
I can sort of confirm that. G (which I agree stands for GPRS) was all I had at the mountain peak lodge at Sunday River when I went skiing recently. It was much slower than 3G would have been.

Following my question to divx118 who has made the superb and smooth runinng ROM Gingerbread RC2 Bull for Archos, he replied:

So this is a call to our valued dear developers to come together and pool resources and develope a working ICS even if it is slightly cut down for Gen8 and upwards with a minimum requirement of 256mb as opposed to the stated 512mb.

Since our devs have hacked the bootloading and device drivers and ICS is open sourced, maybe we can expect an alpha ICS version even if it is not %100.

There are various low spec ICS ports coming out these days on all sorts of devices, so it is just a matter of time. We need one dev who is good at organizing to PM all other Archos devs here and start a team and get those interested together to pool and share work so far and start off this project. This is the near future now.

No plans for Value Pack or Android 4.0 for Galaxy S

Bad new for all Samsung Galaxy S owners.

A spokespersoon at Samsung told us threre will be no update or ‘Value Pack’ for the Samsung Galaxy S.

Samsung told a couple of weeks ago they cannot update because of hardware problems.

Many people get angry on that and they open a online petition page.

Because there are too many people angry on Samsung, they told we will check again.

A week after is the result still bad.

No Android 4.0 or ”Value Pack” updates!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bad.bad.bad:
I recently bought a 5' HDMI(v1.4) cable for my Transformer Prime for gaming but I noticed that when the cable is connected and the screen displayed on the TV, the touchscreen goes haywire, doing random screen taps simultaneously upon a single tap of my finger. It gets annoying and makes HDMI-out gaming almost impossible.

Attaching the dock seems to temporarily solve the problem since the dock's touchpad actions do not affect and cause random screen taps.

Any ideas on how to solve my problem? Thank you so much.
