[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renehasekamp:
Hi,

I loaded my TR101 yesterday to 99 or 100% ( tablet, undocked), disconnected it from the adapter, used it for some time, and then shut it off. The battery level was around 75% then.

This morning I started it again and the battery level was 98%! So it tells me it loaded in the night from 75 to 98% from thin air. No adapter connected. The dual battery widget shows this too: battery level went up from around 75 to 98.

Is thre any explanation for this? I suppose the battery level is not really 98, but what happened? I conbected the adapter, and the it starts loading to 100%.

I am no twaeker, so I did nothing unusual. I installed all the system updates Asus gave me. Now I have Android 4.0.1.

Any thoughts?

If you docked it again once you shut it off then the dock would have charged it
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renehasekamp:
Yes, I know that the dock charges the tablet battery, but the tablet has not been docked for two days!

BTW: When I started the tablet (undocked) up again after two hours, the battery once more said that it was charged for 98%.

I then used it until the battery said it was charged for 31%. I wonder how the situation will be tomorrow.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethe6:
First, wipe battery stats if you can. Second, empty it out completely (be careful about the 0% bug) then do a full charge.

Recommended battery use is always to empty it out completely then charge it completely. It'll extend its performance and lifetime.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renehasekamp:
How do I wipe my battery stats? I cannot find any control to do so. My tablet is not rooted btw.

Anyway: This morning when I started it up the battery icon was red and it shut down by itself (empty battery?), but when I started it up then with the adaptor the battery stood at 17%. This might have been the real status after several wrong indications yesterday, I suppose. Battery health is displayed as "good".

It only seems a matter of wrong indication. The battery last the normal time, it seems to me.

I will let it go to down now util just a few % and fully load it again then.

The reason why I normally shut the tablet completely down when I do not plan to use it for several hours, is that the battery drains when the tablet is 'sleeping', but when I shut it down completely it later starts up at the same level when I shut it down.

This sees to be an issue Asus had to solve (you could read about it all over the internet when I fist noticed it) but as usual Asus is only intrested in upgrading its latest models and soon abandons active support for what they consider "older" models.

However, I do not buy a new tablet every few months. I consider a tablet old after maybe 3 years or longer.

To continue the battery issue: Also, when I shut the tablet down when docked both battery levels have changed when I start it again. To avoid these battery annoyances I often shut it down.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethe6:
Well the battery stats part is debatable really, but you need root as far as I know, so you can ignore that part.

About the battery draining while sleeping, I've heard other people having that issue. Not sure if it was ever solved... I haven't had that issue.

Last case scenario would be to make sure it's not a software issue by doing a full factory reset with something like Easyflasher. Corrupted files happens, and there's no easy way to "fix" it. Make sure you backup all important data as easyflasher will completely wipe your device clean, but it's the best way to confirm it's a software-related issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renehasekamp:
Hi,

A cold reboot did it!

For those of you that are as afraid of a factory reset as I am: a cold reboot does not wipe any of your data. You press the 'on/off' button together with 'volume down' button for about 10 seconds. You will see some small print and some unfamiliar pics on your screen. Ignore everything, because a cold reboot is the default thing that will happen.

When your Transformer has booted after this, several things have changed for the better, including your battery indication.

If this instruction is not clear enough, google for 'cold reboot Transformer'.

For me it worked and I found it to be fool-proof.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tebor8:
Hi all,

I am proud to be a small silent part of this community and to see how much the Galaxy W has grown due to the collective work of our members. I feel like the phone has damn near doubled it's value now with all the custom ROMs, kernels, tweaks, etc, etc that have been implemented in such a short time. Really, I can't see how this phone could be any faster! That being said I feel their is a void in resources dedicated to focusing on battery life while still retaining acceptable speed.

Moving on to Kernel 3.X has really brought great features and speed to our phone, but at the cost of extreme battery loss. It's early on in it's development, so I think there is room for improvement. I have noticed that members are starting to complain about battery life and I for one agree that this is a problem. I wanted to open a forum where we could collect ideas here so our precious phones could ideally make it through the day (or at least a half of a day!).

Anyway, I hope this will be a good jumping off point for discussing. I only ask if members could refrain from the old, "Just change the battery!" unless the user is reporting the battery is more pregnant then a Kardashian sporting twins.

I've had some success using conservative + row.

I'm really hoping to find a kernel that has more optimized conservative governors. Anyone have any tweaked conservative governor experience? I was looking at Scary or Lion heart, etc?

Btw I'm on RC 6 + Chronos kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] frozonecom:
I'm going to try Governor: Conservative. Is it better than SmartassV2? Anyway, I'm going to find out, just finishing the charge to 100%. I'm gonna test on CM10 Alpha 6 + Athena Kernel. Will report back after draining. :)

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] coolbuy:
I'd love to get a CM9 or CM10 RC7 with 2.6 kernel along with a kernel 3.0 version for people who loves kernel 3.0

I am not asking to develop 2.6 kernel further. Previous 2.6 kernel is very good, but we need a ROM (base updated/sources updated) which can support 2.6 kernel fully. 2.6 Kernel was giving me much better battery life compared to kernel 3.

i tried flashing respective 2.6 kernels on CM9 and CM10 RC6. It seems to work fine but if i plug the usb cable to pc then all memory cards get unmounted. ie.. i can't copy files to phone or vice verse. I hope arco gives us a updated source for 2.6 kernel with RC7 release..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
My suggestions for better battery life:

1. First thing first: make sure your battery is not dying; if it's bulging, replace it immediately.

2. Use a kernel that's undervolt-able. I use ICS, and Yoon.Kernel is perfect for me.

2a. Then, undervolt your phone. The Incredicontrol app is usually compatible with the method used by your kernel. Or, read the kernel's thread to find out which app to use.

3. Use Greenify (app) to 'hibernate' apps you don't need to run in the background at all times.

4. If you have the money (and can purchase apps via the Play), purchase "Autostarter" and disable apps' starting points. You should focus on the "After Startup" and "Connection Changed" events.

5. Every now and then, while the phone is on, turn off all data connection (wifi or 2G/3G), turn off sync, and let your phone charge to 100% *and* keep charging for awhile (trickle charging, 1-2 hours should be enough), then let the battery drain until your phone shuts down (by using it normally). Let the phone cool down, plug it into the charger, and power it on, and let it charge until 100% again.

6. Use BetterBatteryStats regularly to find apps consuming too much power and/or holding wakelocks too often; complain to the app maker, and replace it if the maker won't/can't change it.

7. Remember to turn off wifi and/or use 2G only mode when you're no longer using them.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Pep, with full respect to your suggestions that are legit, but this can´t fix the battery drain issue CM9 is having with it´s new 3.X kernel.

They all will reduce the battery drain of course,but wont bring it down to the level you will reach with 2.6 kernel.

I´m still not sure what exactly is causing this, but in my case it´s for sure not my batteries nor other apps causing this.

As I already posted in the Bug report threat, I now flashed RC6 by going totally pristine. Formated both SD Cards and whiped everything, just installed BatteryMonitorWidget to control the battery drain. It´s twice as hight in DeepSleep compared to RC2 and RC3 with it´s old 2.6 kernel.

So first of all we need to narrow down what exactly is causing this.

Therefore I suggest to install first the BatteryMonitorWidget to comapare our results and to share the settings whe have changed after installing RC6 the pristine way.

First my configuration:

1. SDCards swapped

2. Dithering disabled

3. 16-bit Transparency enabled

4. Freeing up resurces enabled

5. Kernel sample Merging enabled

6. Zram disabled

7. default governor and scheduler

8. Syncing Accounts disabled

9. Updates and notifications in GooglePlay disabled

10. Wlan and MobileData disabled

11. Baseband XXLMB

My results with 2.6 Kernel are:

~16mA at daytime in DeepSleep

~ 5-8mA at night in DeepSleep

with kernel 3.x

constantly ~35 - 50mA in DeepSleep

and I checked it´s really in DeepSleep Mode.

So it looks like the radio is consuming more power while keeping the phone connected with the radiostation while the phone is in DeepSleep.

but....

I once also tested hadi´s 1.6 yoon Kernel with RC2, which is basing on Arcos RC2 kernel. By using the Ondemand govarnor in his kernel to compare the battery consumprion against Arcos Ondemand governor, hadis Ondemand governor also comsumed more than Arcos Ondemand Governor. With his OndemandX givernor the consumption was pretty much the same like with Arcos Ondemand.

So maybe it´s also something that changed in Arcos ondemand governor in 3.x kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Ah, I misunderstood the intent of this thread, then, my bad :banghead:

Hmmm... I'm willing to do some experiment... but there are several apps called "Better Battery Widgets"... which one?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hadidjapri:

1 think usually done wrong in forum i'm following is they're using task killer or app to manage their free ram. this app is THE REAL BATTERY KILLER. they stop needed service and make your phone awake . not to mention the choppyness because the os needs to restart services and many bad effect it causes

Sent from my GT-I8150
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Oh I see there are several apps out now using the same name.

I´m using this BatteryMonitor Widget from 3C.

So when using it:

1. Do not recalibrate the battery as it will otherwise need much more time to show you accurate readings.

2. The App needs at least one or two charging cycles to recalibrate itself (not the battery) as it needs to determinate the exact capacity of your battery.

Hm well I´m used to recharge my battery every 3 to 5 days because it´s most of time in DeepSleep Mode. I´m just doing calls and surf the net in my breaks at work. So only turning on MobileData if it´s needed. At home I´m having my PC for surfing the net, so MobileData and WLAN is disabled as well.

With RC4 my battery drain was so high it even wouldn´t last as long till I´m back home from work. With RC6 i think it would last at least 12 to 18 hours, but it´s still a huge difference compared to the RC´s with it´s 2.6 Kernel.

Agree with you about using such apps like Task Killer or scripts like V6 Supercharger. They all need extra CPU time to do their jobs and often are causing more problems than they are solving.The Android OS can manage such things better itself and terminate unneeded services itself too.

Additionally you can use BetterBatteryStats in case your phone is keeping a long time active to see what is causing this. It´s free for XDA members.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 2g11:
I can testify to this, my BBS shows the phone going into deep sleep normally but the drain with data on is immense even in deep sleep. Your initial findings already point to the most likely source of the problem. Given the varying opinions on this(some say it's fine I others don't agree), is it possible we have the same device but different hardware revisions, some of which are much more power-friendly than others? Because for the life of me I couldn't NEVER anything more than a day from kernel 3.x(CM10) but some people claim they could get upto 3-4 days on light use!

Sent from my Wonder powered by CM10
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
I don´t think it has something to do with different hardware revisions, else it wouldn´t matter which kernel is in use. But it does.

There is for sure something strange going on. I´ve additionally installed BetterBatteryStats and now the phone started keeping very often in awake mode. Not sure this has something to do with this app, because it didn´t happen when I had it installed on an older CM9 release.

However I can´t find any suspicious processes that are causing this. But to be sure I will have to go back to RC2 to compare with.

So here my results:

Within of 5 hours it keept Awake for 25 minutes.

BBS also says NO Data Connection and No or Unknown SIgnal during that time

But I´m sure it was connected to the radiostation and made a short testcall.

About wakelocks:

KernelWakelocks:

"mmc0_detect" 4m 32s

"DPRAM" 3m 11s

"alarm_rtc" 2m 21s

"PowerManagerService" 1m 36s

"radio-interface" 1m 10s

"alarm" 36s

"mmc1_detect" 13s

Partial Wakelocks:

AlarmManager 44s 997 Counts

GSM 20s 4 Counts

ActivityManager-Launch 18s 104 Counts

sleep_broadcast 4s 23 Counts

RILJ 2s 146 Counts

*backup* 1s 109 Counts

NotificationService 1s 113 Counts
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Ok I´m back to RC2 and am having some results from BBS to compare with.

After fully charging the battery I unplugged the phone and left it over night at the same place I´m always leaving. So the conditions were the same like with RC6, though in RC6 there were no apps exept BatteryMonitorWidget and BetterBattery Stats installed.

To make it short the results are nearly identical. Even the Awake time is almost identical in a period of 5 hours.

There is also the No or unknown Signal entry for the whole time. So I guess this is due to the MobileData being disabled.

But what I´m missing in RC2 is "mmc0_detect" and "mmc1_detect" in the Kernel Wakelocks. They are not showing up there.

So now we need some other results to compare with my results.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Terencefoo:
Been using this phone for 1 and half year now..is it normal to have a battery life of 5 hours with 3G on? Currently using cm10
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tebor8:
I think the 3.0 kernel really makes a big difference in a negative way in regards to the battery life.

To fight against this, I have used the following settings for some success:

Conservative + Row... still very fluid with Yoon Chronos

245 - 1024 MHz

Screen off after 30 secs

Under volt

Its much better than before, but still I would like more battery life. Probably 8 hours with heavy use up to 16 hours lite.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Agree on that. I tried now RC6 together with hadis chronos kernel and the consumption is the same like with Arcos 3.x kernel.

The "mmc0_detect" and "mmc1_detect" entries also appear with hadis chronos kernel. Not sure they are responsible for it, but they didn´t appear with 2.6 kernel.

So what I can say for sure it´s not the governor but something else in the 3.x kernel and so far these mmc detect entries are under suspicion.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
First of all, sorry for not testing against the two kernels; there's a major project going on in my office, and I totally can't risk to be offline... plus with the random times I'll receive calls, the battery usage might be skewed...

I did some Google search and arrived at the following thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1827676

scroll down to the second post. The OP of that thread noticed that mmcX_detect will utilize a lot of wakelocks if the SD Card is defective.

Since the battery drain issue with kernel 3.0 does not seem to happen to everyone, could people experiencing such drain try the experiments without an SD Card being installed?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
No problem pep. I need my phone too during the week, so only can do some tests at the weekend.

So to narrow down this problem we need to know how it works without a SD Card installed and if all who are having this issue are having the SD Cards swapped.

To my question,

Has anyone else experienced a serious loss in vibration after installing MA7? At 1st, I thought it was bc I rooted & played around with the Wallet hack but my girlfriend is experiencing the same thing. We got our phones at the same time & her's isn't rooted. It's never been toyed with.

Well maybe is another way to get tegra zone apk and play nvidia games.

I found the article about chainfire 3d it says that chainfire 3d doesn't work on Jelly Bean either on ICS. If so how You people play nvidia games on our note because i've seen a lot of movies on YT about nvidia games on note.

So can someone guide me how to install this CF3D driver without bootloop?
