[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redman3170:
Yes I am a noob and I have been reading but I am confused. I have my note which I bought about a week ago. I am wanting to root it and put a custom rom on it. Now I have read that there are certain ways to root the note but which way is the safest. I have a note that is from Germany and it is was updated to 4.0.4 with LRG. I think I know how to put a custom rom because I was looking at the videos made by ashim. He did the Kingdroid rom for version 4 but I am wanting to load V6. Would I go about the same way of loading that rom on my note? Thanks for the help and Please don't bash me too hard. I'm coming from the G2x and its a totally different world!!!!:confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
First of all, thanks to d14b0ll0s for yet another great write up. I am one of those concerned with the battery life of the Infinity. Though some review says it got up to 9-9.5 hours with BALANCED mode I believe is the mistake. By using Power save mode, I think we can potentially get to that level but still hard.

My system is NOT rooted, but I have noticed significant change in my battery life so far with following:

1. Balanced Mode to Power Save mode.

This gets me like extra 2 hours or so. WIthout this change, 5-6 hours for my usage and with this it goes up to 7-8 hours screen time.

2. Under Wi-Fi Setting change Use wifi during sleep mode (mine is in Japanese so exact wording may be different) to never. Default setting was always. Prior to this change, I lost quite bit overnight unplugged; however, after the change it loses negligible amount.

Now rather than these, I am trying to play around with Juice Defender, which was recommended by d14b0ll0s in best application list he created. I have initially downloaded Juice Defender Free edition, and noticed may be minimal gain over #1&#2 already instituted. But concept was great. So I ended up purchasing Ultimate edition, which allows us to control when to turn of WIFI per individual application based without Root i.e. while reading PDF I don't think I need WIFI connection.

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=juice+defender&c=apps.

I am still tweaking and playing with Juice Defender, but I am certain without change in #1,#2 (which are actually taken care by Juice Defender in its own way), I can gain same battery life and my hope/guess is I can get even more battery life.

So in conclusion, for those not rooted try Juice Defender (at least free version). I will let you all know how the ultimate version does in next couple days.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Thanks for this! ^^ Post 1 updated.

Have you noticed what power-saving mode changes apart from CPU (& GPU?) clock speed? Does it change auto-sync settings or unload some modules? I'm not using it, as it is too slow for me to render big pdfs consisting of scanned jpgs. But when I'm reading them with WiFi off on balanced, I normally get 9.9% drain per hour according to Battery Monitor Widget, which even with some other things that I do from time to time and some additional rendering when opening new files should give me about 9 hours on a single charge. Browsing over WiFi gives me about 7.

The Wi-Fi settings you mentioned are the same as WiFi power-saving settings on the bottom of ASUS setting list, but I've clarified that in post 1 now.

I'm happy JuiceDefender helped you, it's good to advertise it here. I'm adding the info about your post apart from the link to the list of apps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] masiegel:
Thanks

I would also add that it's good the deactivate unused apps/widgets (settings -> apps -> "select app" -> deactivate)

it's only possible for apps which cannot be uninstalled

Look very useful! I'm about to try.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ali I Hagen:
I think the standby time is awesome. Wifi off, power save mode enabled and left the tablet over night right after full charged battery w/o dock. After 10h still 100%.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dbC4G:
#nice
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
The system measuring system isn't exact, and early on so are all the indicators, so don't rely on it too heavily. There may be a variance of 1-3% and a lot more in the usage indicators. Try different battery / apps widgets and compare the results.

Anyway, deep sleep is nice indeed. It normally drains about 0.2% (-0,5%) per hour, mine is now 98% after the night off the charger and responding to a few e-mails in bed ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] AspenMan:
Thanks for the info, it's appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tedr44:
Antutu's Battery Saver worked great on my 101, I'm observing how it will regulate the power drain on my 700. Hopefully it will keep the back of the tab cool as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] imagine cars:
i think the problem is when you have wifi on!

this is good when you have wifi off. however, when you have the wifi on, it shows 80% wifi and 20% screen consumed by battery. you can stop network access by disabling wifi from Asus customized settings and also in wifi setting, you can keep wifi on during sleep to NEVER. this helps a lot..
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Stock battery (usage) stats are not relevant, use other battery apps or widgets for that.

I've heard good things about AnTuTu's bat.sav., but also that it doesn't let you have more insight into what it's actually doing, so JuiceDefender seems a better option in that matter.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
d14b0ll0s:

Do you know the specific voltage setting / configurations coming out of the usb line?

Is it 16V and how does it distinguish between 16V and 5V on the single USB cable.

For example does the voltage cable go on different lines for 16V and 5V for the TF700?

Or is it 16/5V dual switchable on the same power cable?

I'm asking this is because there's interest to charge the tablet by using alternative methods such as mobile battery with 16V setting.

If so, then does a DC to USB cable be suffice for the job? Or is the cable wired differently as proprietary ASUS?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Sorry, I wouldn't know that. There some ppl here that are doing some testing with the batteries and hardware, perhaps the_kreature or MartyHulskemper could know something. You should post it as a thread in Q&A too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] firetech:
First of all, the charger gives 15V, not 16V. Avoid giving your tablet too much voltage as that can kill it...

Secondly, the included cable is a USB 3.0 cable and therefore has 5 extra pins (you can see them if you look straight into the USB plug). These extra pins are used to get 15V from the charger. I don't know exactly how that works, but I guess the tablet tells the charger it wants 15V over the power lines (same power lines as 5V) rather than the charger giving 15V over these extra pins (because that could be devastating to other USB 3.0 gadgets). This is why the tablet won't charge if you insert an old (USB 1.0 or 2.0) extension cable between the charger and the tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] watwat1234:
Hey I'm running with wifi on during sleep and I seem to get great battery performance (2% loss over 11 hr standby). No build.pro tweaks so no deep asleep our anything like that. I'm wondering if anyone else has gotten similar performance?

I thought it was interesting because the results were the opposite on my tf300t, and my usage pattern hasn't changed much between the two devices.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Fabipro:
Same here. Battery life on deep sleep with WLAN is great!

But I think the Infinity needs a lot of power while reading news, tapatalk, Reader HD..

Not more than 4 hours Screen On Time! :confused:

And that with balanced mode and 50% brightness.

Any problems with the fifth companion core?

PS: Is there an app which shows the activity of the different cores?

this is crazy, i got my tablet on monday, used it about 3-4 hours restoring all my apps and signing in to everything, and i havent used it much since but today, i'm still at 76%, havent plugged it in it or docked it. I also forgot to mention my dad played with it a bit also...prob about 1 hour
[Asus Transformer TF700] rand33099:
I read on a prime forum before that putting brightness in super ISP mode and then turn brightness all the way down did better than 30% in normal ISP mode. Has anyone tried that?
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
This

is how brightness is governed on the Infinity, so I'll try that just after praying for the rain while running circles around the bonfire ;)

I can see only one reason for this trick and this is a workaround for fooling smartdimmer, which is an obsolete one now, as we have the real solution.
[Asus Transformer TF700] watwat1234:
I think system tuner would do the trick for you

^^ This or Tablet CPU Usage Monitor, but you won't see the fifth core there, it's invisible on the system level.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Fabipro:
Have a look at this screenshot.

I think the 1500 MHz are running to much and that on all 4 Cores!

Something big is wrong here. The keyboard is doing hard to load the Tab while using it.

I didnt play anything in this time. Only surfing a little bit, facebook, Twitter and News.

And that in BALANCED Mode!

Hope for help and suggestions.

Thx

[Asus Transformer TF700] tha_kreature:
I've noticed that with the tablet docked my battery monitor numbers make no sence. I suspect the fact that tablet goes in and out of charge state is the reason.

Anyway, when trying for example OpenGarden to connect to my phone, and then giving up and packing it up, I notice 4 hours later it has used 60% of the doc, and 20% of the tablet (80% left on tab, 40% on doc) and they were both fully charged before I started.

Something seems to hang/be left behind and the tablet got very warm. Warmer than my looped antutu tests infact.

Smells like the basic idea of android is to blame here. I really wish they'd just nix that and let me choose between going back out of a program and closing it. Much faster and easier way to make sure what you want is running and not everything else.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Fabipro:
Could it be that the CPU is broken in my Infinity? :banghead:

Tapatalked via GNexus
[Asus Transformer TF700] tha_kreature:
I've been doing some more tests and OpenGarden is my problem. If I disable wifi and enable bluetooth it goes into action.

Then it will prevent the TF700T from sleeping and the cores go in 1.5 GHz mode. No other mode is used if I reset stats before testing.

Leaving it for 30 mins with lid closed (docked) gives 30 mins in state 1500.

It gets quite hot, especially in a sleeve.

Enabeling wifi again and disabeling bluetooth makes OpenGarden enter stopped state, but it is still loaded and TF700T now goes into 1300 state. Still a insane power consumtion when it should be in deep sleep.

Can someone else verify this ?

I use CPU Spy to check states.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mesutziya:

[Asus Transformer TF700] Yooboo26:
I'm about to try. Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I would guess that there is some app that is running in the background that is causing such high CPU usage. If my tablet is not being used, it stays in Deep Sleep most of the time.

If you would reset to factory defaults, I'm sure you'd go back to "normal" CPU usage... It would be a good test regardless (just back everything up, just in case).
[Asus Transformer TF700] tha_kreature:
Start by just rebooting. Then only run the cpuspy app to check and reset counters.

Next, leave it for a while and see what the stats say afterwards. If it's normal it's one of the apps he normally uses that is to blame and doesn't shut down properly. Just like my OpenGarden app.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
What is everyone getting as far as mA drain? A few days ago I received my replacement Infinity, and its battery life seems terrible compared to the first one, about 4 hours screen on time in balanced mode from only web browsing. I got 7 hours once, but there was a good amount of video streaming and I know the Tegra 3 is much more efficient while viewing video so I dont really count that.

It looks like I'm getting -287 idling on the home screen and -993mA during web browsing. Just want to figure out if the battery is still calibrating, I have a rouge app or something's wrong with my tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
What browser are you using? Does your battery get hot? There were some reports that stock-based browsers were having some issues recently.

I was normally getting around 15%/hr drain, which would be probably around yours. After the last update Battery Monitor Widget is going crazy with the stats, but I guess the drain stays quite the same, so around 7 hrs browsing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
Dolphin. It does get a little warm around the upper left corner after a few pages, at least more so than my first one. I'll give a few others a try and see how they do.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
I know it may not be the solution for every-day use if you need flash, but give Chrome a try for a full battery cycle and see what's the difference.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
Ugh Chrome. I'm getting sick of how laggy and featureless it is. I think I'm going back to stock for good.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
Swapping out Dolphin for Chrome pushed me to about 5 and a half hours screen on time. Figured it might be something like that, although now I have to hunt for a better browser since Chrome has that nasty habit of not rendering anything you'd need to scroll to get to until you've started scrolling. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Asus Transformer TF700] silverball.slayer:
Wifi seems to suck A LOT of the battery even if it's idle. If I'm playing a simple game, there is no way that wifi should be using more battery than almost everything else combined. Unless the battery stats are incorrect....

Rob
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
I believe those stats are relative. It's not necessarily using a lot of battery, it's just using more than other things.
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
It indeed may be relative but Infinity's WIFI is indeed battery drainer. My reasoning is the followings:

Facts:

1. The battery drain was approximately 10%/hr when I was playing local video or reading ebook WITH WIFI on.

2. The battery drain becomes 20%/hr when I use browser.

Hypothesis:

The way ASUS handling WIFI unit is either giving too much power to it so it won't have the WIFI issue it faced with Prime (as if fixing with part plastic cover wasn't enough) or somehow while it is in browsing mode it unnessary dissipates power by constantly supplying power to wifi.

One potential alternative explanation would be browser is extremely CPU intensive. Though this may partly be true, I sort of doubt from couple reasons. One I did not see much difference of battery drain among different browsers. If it was application related you would think different browser application requires different cpu usage. My current device Galaxy Note 10.1 would not show any difference in battery drain between constant browsing vs. non-browsing activity.

I believe this is fixable by some software though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
What do you expect when you're actually using it? All radios drain the battery when active...on all devices.
[Asus Transformer TF700] PhilipL:
Hi

Wi-Fi should use very little power in standby, however this depends on the Wi-Fi access point supporting power management options. Most do, some may not, and if not then power drains quite quickly in standby.

Regards

Phil
[Asus Transformer TF700] PAPB0007:
These tips have been really helpful for me. Before I would have to charge every night with just minimal use during the day. Now, after recalibrating the battery, using SetCPU for a few rules and stopping the cpu from getting stuck at 1500, freezing bloatware, and changing the startup apps I only have to charge every other day or so.

Wifi still seems to be the biggest drain, hopefully Asus will do something good in a coming update.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Great, I'm glad it helped! Perhaps a new kernel will do something for us in this department too (although there've been various reports on the JB in that matter). I think we need to start whining to ASUS more about these things if we want new proprietary drivers/modules though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] silverball.slayer:
I watched an internet streaming 90 minute movie today and it used about %25 of the battery. I think Asus should have put a bigger battery in this tablet.

Great read with a lot of useful tips. Managed to pull off more battery life than before.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wpbear:
Google services is killing my battery while it is sleeping. 40% of battery use in just over a day while left on standby. Battery settings say 96% for Google services and wifi the other 4%.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Now that sounds like a bug...

I'm aware this is not the favourite choice for most, but have you tried factory reset? Also, does your device (and CPU specifically) go into deep sleep with screen off at all? For most of us WiFi is the first battery drainer and with screen off it's probably sth closer to 1% drain every 4 hours or so...
[Asus Transformer TF700] razgrizpr:
Great write up and tips.

I have tried some of them already and it really helps!

Question..

I'm near an electrical outlet 90 percent of the day. If I always have the device "plugged in", will that harm the Infinity

or the battery's life in any way?
[Asus Transformer TF700] nooktablet:
i think it can shorten your battery's lifespan
[Asus Transformer TF700] wpbear:
Battery stats app shows the culprit is network location services from Google framework. This is keeping partial wake lock and Wi-Fi running most of the time. How do I solve?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jupppo:
You can try using Auto Airplane Mode from Play Store. It shuts WiFi off right away and should also prevent all network services from sucking battery while screen is off.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wpbear:
Thank you, I will try that. Is this common on the Asus?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Personally, I keep wifi enabled all of the time and get very little battery drain while the tablet is sleeping. I'm talking 1% loss every few hours, even with wifi enabled 24/7. If you are getting much higher drain than that, I'd suspect that you have an app loaded that is causing the tablet to not go into deep sleep properly.

Try this - load CPU Spy, reset the timers and let the tablet sleep. Check CPU spy after an hour or two of non-use and make sure the tablet is deep-sleeping properly by looking at CPU Spy - it should be in deep sleep for at least 75% of the time while not being used. If less than that, I'd guess that there is an app causing it to stay awake longer than it should while sleeping.... Then comes the hard task of identifying the app that is causing it... Better Battery Stats can possibly help with that....
[Asus Transformer TF700] wpbear:
I did all that and identified Google services and more specifically Google network location services being the culprit. So Google or Asus' bad implementation is to blame. This app seems to do the trick, but is a shame it doesn't work without a third party fix.

I am running the same apps on the Samsung GS3 so looks like Asus.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Something is wrong if you are losing 40% of your battery in one day while in standby - period. Again, I have wifi enabled 24/7 and get *very* little battery drain while in sleep mode. Something is not right - whether it be software or hardware, it should not drain that much in standby. I'd be willing to bet that if you revert to factory defaults that the drain is gone.

Something is causing the location services to be so active (some app) - these services do not just work like crazy for no reason and this is not an issue with everyone, so you are jumping the gun saying the Asus services are to blame.

Are you unlocked? If so, do a nandroid backup and restore to factory defaults and see if your drain is goen (which I'm sure it will be). Then you need to figure out which app is causing your issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
There are various opinions on that, but according to some enhanced tests from last year, discharging a little (say, to 70%) and charging to 80-90% is the way to go. Of course there are always various considerations to take into account and this is an ideal situation, one difficult to follow ;) Anyway, I would neither recommend waiting for a full discharge every time nor trying to keep it at 100% constantly. Let it stay sort of in the middle and you should be fine.

This is meant for best battery life and prolonged (close-to-)full capacity.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
I froze Network Location Services in Titanium. It doesn't seem to affect anything else.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wpbear:
I'll try that tonight. Last night I wiped data from GMaps and Location Service, then put it to sleep. This morning was only about 4% down in 8 hrs but GMaps and Location Service shows as primary problem in BatteryStats still. Again I have the same apps running on Samsung and no issues, so even though this is Google apps draining, I am not letting Asus off the hook. Some internet searches turn up Asus version of ICS being the problem, JB hopefully officially comes out soon.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
But again, if it were a problem with the Asus Location Services, everyone would be experiencing the excessive battery drain that you mention - that's not the case.

There is one way to be sure - do a backup and reset to factory defaults - see if the battery drain is still there without your apps loaded. I can almost guarantee that you will not see drain like you mention in your original post. Something is causing the Location Services to be so "active" - it is not that way by default or for others, which leads me to believe that it's app related (regardless of what happens on your Samsung).

I would love to see what happens if you try this...
