Imo, If your getting short battery life or inaccurate readings, the benefits of discharging and Calibrating battery data/stats will help to bring your devices battery back to how it should perform. Sometimes things get out of sync and one sure fire way to get things back into sync is by doing that. You certainly don't need to if your getting great battery life.

Holy sh*t! Got my replacement yesterday. Went home and charged it for 12 hours (over night while its off)...woke up start my tablet and install new firmware and went to work without it....

Just got back from work 12 hours later and dayum! Only lost 6% battery over 12 hr with Wi-Fi on the entire time! That's pretty good standby time!!.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mtunender:
So I had mine fully charged and it was asleep for 2 days 12 hours with wifi set to turn off while asleep and it was 100% dead. This does not seem right as I used to leave my prime for much longer without using it and it would not drain the battery so bad. What do you think?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ausmike:
Hi guys ...

I have left mine over 24hrs (off while travelling - never got anywhere close to 6% off discharge) .. weird ....as I ahev flown heaps of times in last week to ASIA and Aust from USA - all more than 24+ hrs without turning on my TF700!

maybe am the only one this ANAL ATTITUDE ..... doing all these weird things before turning off tablets

> just like PC ( atleast in windows AFIK...sorry not a real windows7 man) , YOU just TURN OFF the PC ; not without first closing all the OPEN SESSIONS eg close browsers, ms office docs etc etc ,,,,,,,,,,,, Granted i dont think its much use turning off WIFI in win 7.... but still if you dont and make MOPST PC's go to sleep or HYBERNATE mode = they ALL ARE STILL NEARLY FULL POWER consumption. TABLETS are lots better - even my crappy ipad1 is a power hog @ sleep !!

This is what I do in my two TRANSFOMERS ........ maybe its juz anal ways I have ,lol. ( pls forgive the teckie terms in relations to these steps)

a)> hit the 'multi window' button at bottom LHSide = and you see ' recent sessions' > juz HOLD and drag to left < it closes them>

b) or DO TASKMANAGER = and close most all of the active sessions .

c) on far RHSide = you have the "STATUS" displays ( not sure of the teckie terms for this area = win7 = system tray )

Hold anbd DRAG to left and you will close any sessions and or apps here also ((( i even UNMOUNT the SD cards))

d) here you can also CLOSE/ SHUT OFF > wireless , dongles etc and I also drag the 'screen brighntess' to lowest level!!

Some or most of these tips = I kinda learned myself as a am used to TRAVELLING A LOT (min 100K F Flyer miles a year) and BATTERY LIFE on planes trains and automobiles are still @ premium !! Well ; yes nowadays few aircrafts have the plug-ins but they often do not work etc etc ..........

On my Prime + dock (looks same dock to me as in Tf700T) i dont see any differance in Batery usage or drain. I also use mine(TF700) as a LINUX partition also - and there are lots of LX tools ( linux semaforos tools) so help towards BATTERY LIFE....<yes am still B*in about being robbed by ASUS for sendin me TF201 label'd DOCK as TF700 DOCK !!>
[Asus Transformer TF700] KamikaZeeFu:
I'll just post these, usage was "normal" mostly Web browsing with an hour of auralux gaming. Stock .26 firmware, unrooted, balanced CPU setting, wifi set to turn off during sleep.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mtunender:
My wifi does not turn off when it goes to sleep.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Haidozo:
Power on, use it until it's dead--how long?

Many appear to have the TF700 miracle battery that runs longer than the Energizer Bunny but I'm more interested in actual use in one session. When it's fully charged, powered on, and used until the battery is drained, how long did it last? In power save mode, wifi on, GPS and bluetooth off, and brightness at 30-40%, how long can you actually use it doing a mix of things? Does anyone get the advertised 9.5 hours? How about balanced mode?
[Asus Transformer TF700] KamikaZeeFu:
If you check my screenshots, I got to around 7.5 hours constantly using the tablet. I started to recharge at around 20 percent, so 8-9 hours aren't impossible. The advertised numbers however are video playback only. Generally speaking, these tablets use very little power during playback.

Anandtech.com illustrate it nicely in their review and from my experience the numbers are what I'm getting. here's a link to their battery life tests.

In short: Web browsing 7-8 hours

Video playback: 10 hours

Gaming: 3-4 hours
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
Some of the post here and amazon, as well as review sites made me believe my original unit had defective battery as I can never get those number; however, the replaced unit has identical battery life. And if we think about it, it make sense what I am getting.

So quickly the number (all are screen ON time with WIFI OFF while in sleep),

Constant WIFI browsing: I lose ~20%/hr so it can only go for 5 hours in balance mode with bluetooth and GPS off. Screen brightness is like minmal to 30%.

Ebook reading or local video play with WIFI on (BUT not really using browser): I lose ~10 %/hr in balance mode. So yes. this will get us 9.5 hours.

Why does this make sense? Well, if we think about what apple did. They have almost doubled (70% increase) in their battery for new iPad when compared to iPad 2 to sustain their battery life. Whereas, the infinity kept same battery as prime. So essentially,

new Ipad has 42 kWh battery, Ipad 2 has 25 kWh battery and Infinity/Prime has 25kWh.

Based on this, it is logical to think that it would be almost impossible to get true 10-11 hours or even 9 hours on Infinity given its higher resolution than iPad 2. If anything, I truly think this was the weakest link of the infinity hardware design in my personal opinion.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KamikaZeeFu:
I bet they wanted to keep dock compatability and also didn't want to increase device thickness/weight too much. Also those battery numbers are Wh, not kWh (batteries this big would power the device for days :o)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Haidozo:
I let my fully charged TF700 play video until it went dead. I used power save mode, brightness was at 25% (which is extremely dim), speaker audio was set so it was barely audible, GPS, Bluetooth, and wifi were off, and no other apps running. Here are the results.

Time Battery

0:00 100%

1:00 90%

2:00 76%

3:00 65%

4:00 55%

5:00 44%

6:00 35%

7:00 25%

8:00 16%

9:00 6%

9:36 Tablet went dead.

I used different videos (all were lower resolution than 720p) and three diferent players. I'm not sure if the Asus battery life "spec" has wifi on or off for their movie test, but if they claim it's off, then the TF700 meets their spec. If they said wifi was on for the test, then their marketing department probably wrote the battery life spec.

I'm very surprised to see how nice and neat the battery life drops by roughly 10% per hour. I expected more variation since I used videos of different lengths and hardware and software playback at random.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
Software playback and got that sort of battery? All my jelly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
The last I checked the official site stated no specific condition for tablet alone; however, with dock they said 14 hours and that condition was in the power saving mode & wifi on with video playback testing. In my experience, wifi on won't really affect much as long as you don't actively surf the net and I indeed see ~10%/hr drop with video play back with wifi on (but mine was in balanced mode).

The only thing I don't like about battery life in infinity is the WIFI on browsing battery life. Somehow as soon as we start browsing internet, the drain goes rapidly up to ~20%/hr. I don't know if they have some weird software setup so that browser continues to make wifi connection and drain battery, or browser uses so much CPU power, or wifi unit takes so much battery etc.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
Hopefully the next coming update will adjust things so things aren't draining so quickly. Software updates should be able to fix these things so we can get optimum battery life, like what I experienced with the Prime
[Asus Transformer TF700] ugotproblemz:
any word on when the next update will be?
[Asus Transformer TF700] busdriver319:
hi all,

re asus infinity...no longer charges more than 94%

has it got to do with Juice Defender?

:confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] fxchoo:
Here are the results of my testing - power saving mode, playing 720p video on constant loop with headphones plugged in, volume @ 40%, brightness set to 17%, wifi on with gmail running in the background - basically the same test asus uses to benchmark the battery life.

I tried to keep it on the entire time, but the tablet went to sleep for about 1hr 45m while I was out doing errands. Total run time for the tablet alone was about 9hr 40mins (discharges at ~10% / hr). After discharging to 1% I plugged it into the dock (201 dock labelled as 700 if I am not wrong).

This is where the graph says "charging". Tablet stays on another ~6hrs after being docked.

Screenshot attached because I can't post links yet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LMMT:
Good info, thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xFrozen:
Screen on time? Wi-fi on time? It doesn't look like you had wi-fi on since it isn't shown in the battery stats...
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
I am not sure why the guy above showed Galaxy Note battery life here... But Galaxy Note 10.1 does have amazing battery life. As I recall it didn't have WIFI category but you can see Internet category.

Any event since you seem to be interested in the result, I can tell you based on my 3 weeks of Note experience. It readily lasted 10+ hours with active internet browsing and playing games. With the same type of use, infinity can only last 5-6 hours primarily due to WIFI drain is ridiculously high on infinity (unfortunately).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Crizthakidd:
Maps somehow drains my battery big time if I forget to force close it it will drain my battery while off! What is using Google maps like what's making it start naturally? I my gps is off obviously maybe twitter or something has some location service non stop
[Asus Transformer TF700] tbogunro:
Lol my wifi is always on but in my earlier post I didn't charge it but I did charge for a few mins this time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] denshin92:
discharging

Hi, i'm just curious..when recharging it after a complete discharge does it matter if the tablet is recharged when its on or off?
[Asus Transformer TF700] RpR:
Doesn't matter at all no :)

I can usually get around 2-3 days of life out of it, but I dont turn it off over night or anything. It'll have around 5-6 hours of onscreen time with wifi on. Wifi is by FAR the biggest battery killer in any android device. Dont know what it is, but compared to my old ipad and iphone, wifi just sucks the life out of these things.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ZigmaDK:
My best tip for you is GreenPower free.

That app is awesome to control wifi power.

I have mine set to 2 mins on each 1 hour, so now it is actually the screen using the battery, instead of only the wifi :)

I also use it on my phone with the same results.

And of course root and CleanRom2.3 is awesome together with Clemsyn kernel :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] AndroidFTW11:
Has anyone else tried this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] AndroidFTW11:
My battery life seems to be less than expected. I had the tf300 for a few weeks, but I returned it for the infinity. The battery life on that was at least double what it is on my infinity. I couldn't kill the battery in one day and I used it more than I do the infinity. WiFi wasn't the main culprit for eating battery like it is on this. I had WiFi set to never sleep on the tf300 just like I do on this. On the plus side, my infinity seems to charge pretty quickly. It went from about 40 percent to 98 percent in less than an hour. Maybe things will change after a few charging cycles, but I was to the impression that new batteries did not require conditioning.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Found a SERIOUS battery drain!

If you're using an USB Ethernet adapter, and set it to "Retain Ethernet connection during sleep", it DOESN'T TURN OFF. Even when you disconnect the USB adapter. The icons disappear, but it keeps running secretly, and doesn't show up in any battery monitor!

Mine suddenly went from draining in 2 weeks to eating both my tab and dock completely in less than a day for seemingly no reason. Figured out eventually I turned the USB adapter to always on to listen to the radio at work a week earlier. Turned it back off, and lo and behold, 2% drain in 3 days.

DO NOT LEAVE THIS ON.

(Yes, I also posted this in the General Sticky. Can't hurt to be mentioned more often.)

battery spec

What about battery specifications. Capacity, voltage, etc.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
The thing is if you're using your Tablet for the internet i.e browsing or video. Then this isn't viable
[Asus Transformer TF700] dadgore:
Since installing the stock 4.2.1 rom I get almost 2 days sometimes (with dock batt). As a rule I stream comedy.com and do browsing and some programming... that gets me about 30% before bed...
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Actually, these "battery saver" apps are smart enough to know when you have the tablets screen turned on and it automatically enabled wifi if the screen is enabled, so normal browsing, etc won't be effected. These apps are mainly active when your phone is asleep, disabling certain things if the screen is off, etc.

Although, after spending days getting one of these apps set up perfectly on my phone, I eventually realized that the app actually made my battery life *worse* than without it!

I'd personally stay away from these battery saver apps....
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
Exactly, thats what I mean.

When in use these apps are not viable.

When screen's off my laptop is going into Deep Sleep fine since disabling Maps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] slntdth93:
Weird battery stats

Well, not sure where to begin but I've noticed my battery level to stay at 100% indefinitely for the past few days (without charging) but docked. I thought "weird, but maybe they changed the charging algorithm when the keyboard dock was connected". Today my tablet crapped out on me - wouldnt turn on without it being connected to the charger. Still says 100% surprisingly

So I look in OS monitor, find out my battery voltage is 8mV :confused:

This is with the stock ROM. Would anybody like to post their battery voltage (I'd imagine it should be around 4V)

tl;dr

my tf700 battery voltage in OS Monitor is 8mV. Does anyone elses display something more proper?

Certain roms will automatically give you the white navbar when you pick the ghost theme in themechooser I know euroskanks aokp works as well as codename android 3.1.0 I wanted this myself that's how I know this

Edit: I see yours is a maguro I'm on a Toro so not sure if my answer still applies to you or not

I was just curious if anyone else is having (or heard of) an issue like this? I have tried on three different wireless N networks, and it will not see them. I have tried manually adding them as well and it always says out of range. It is almost as if the N radio isnt working. I can connect to b/g networks fine. I also know that the wireless N networks are functioning properly as I can connect other devices to them. Do I need to enable the N radio in the tablet somehow? I havent seen any threads about this, so I am guessing that its just me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] user311:
The router has to be on 2.4/5Ghz mixed mode, Unfortunately the infinity can't se 5GHz networks. Yes I agree its dumb that a $500-600 device can't use 5GHz
[Asus Transformer TF700] henbone11:
got ya, and yeah that does suck. the main router I use is a dual mode asus rt-n66u, so it has the 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks separated. pretty disappointing that it cant use 5ghz. oh well, thanks for the info.
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
usually you can set which bands and specs will be used. you can still connect your infinity via n as long as you have your router configured with 2.4ghz and n. most dual mode routers will allow this.
[Asus Transformer TF700] henbone11:
yeah its connected N on 2.4ghz. I had a brain fart and meant 5ghz when I stated that I couldnt see the N network. thanks again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eroc162:
I know we cant use 5ghz but why? Would it be a software issue or a hardware issue.

umm,..... never had issues FINDING "n" networks - currently typin using that NOW

[Asus Transformer TF700] the_game_master:
I'm on a N network so this is not true.

I only broadcast my home wireless network in N for highest wireless performance. All of my somewhat aged wifi devices that include a 2006 Dell XPS notebook with DraftN, a Nintendo DSi, Blackberry Playbook, and of course the Infinity all connect to a 802.11n hotspot I broadcast with two Belkin N150s. Even the Transformer Prime connected to the N.

The only wifi device I own that does not connect to N is my HTC Evo 4G phone. It sees it but fails to connect.

OP if I were you I'd recheck your wireless router settings, maybe you have MAC filtering enabled.

I bought a LG MyTouch 4G Slide (myTouch Q)

I rooted it, upgraded the software, everything was great.

I was flashing a theme through zip and suddenly, it cut off and now my phone is unresponsive.

The LG splash screen shows twice, followed by displaying the following message:

E:Can't find misc

E:Can't find misc

Finding Update Packages..

E:unknown volume for path [SDCAR

D:/download/(name of the zip file)]

E:Can't mount SDCARD:/(File location)

Installation Aborted.

Factory Reset Failed

Restart Factory Reset

Then the cycle repeats its self.

I cannot access bootloader (power+volume down) no matter how many times I try, it continues to do the same process.

I have searched everywhere and cannot find the answer to this problem, does anyone know how I can make my phone work again?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy55:
how'd you upgrade the software? try loading a stock rom either through your computer or sd card, I'm not familiar with the exact process for a slide, but that's what I'd try.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkthatruth:
I did it the old-fashioned way. Went into settings and searched for updates, then T-Mobile updated me OTA.

The phone worked perfect prior to the theme.

Every file I've put on the sdcard seems to not have any effect on this problem.

Do you know where I can find a stock ROM for LG M4GS? All the one's I've seen around are for HTC.

I downloaded ODIN but it only tells me to connect the phone when it's plugged in via USB.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkthatruth:
I'll donate to whoever helps me, really need to fix this issue.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] florpor:
how'd you try to flash the theme? through a custom recovery?

and why did it stop?

did you give hard factory reset a try? (dunno what exactly it resets but it might help, and it might actually be exactly what your phone is trying to do according to the screen output):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20310765&postcount=8

if that does not work, try to at least get some more logcat:

install the android sdk, plug your powered-off-phone into usb, run:

adb logcat

it should start the service and be:

- waiting for device -

then power the phone and post the output...

good luck
