Could it be hardware related but specifically the connection single on the tablet and the port on the dock? Maybe something with the pins gets damaged over time and causes a constant drain to occur. That could lead to a design flaw.

I just took my tablet out and found the dock completely drained and tab at 51%. That's on power saver, wifi off, bt off, about 30min of downloading a video clip, and 1.5hr of watching the video.

The rest of the time the tab/dock combo was closed and in my work drawer for about 6hrs. Fully charged at 6:40am when I woke up. I use greenify and just leave 3 of the programs it finds unchecked for hibernation.

Wonder if the new Tf701 and new dock have the same issue. If it is a wakelock error on the software then its a shame their engineers can't solve this. It makes the claim of 14+hrs a joke. Great rom and I hope support continues after you upgrade your device. Thank you.

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Under Settings->About, my dock is listed as "DOCK-EC20N-0207". I *believe* it was labeled for the TF700, but I thought it was just a re-badged TF201 dock. Not 100% sure though.

I do still have the box around here somewhere - will see what it says later. Does your dock have the same model number under Settings->About?

EDIT: Actually, the box was right here in my office! The label on the back of the box says "Model: TF201 Mobile Docking", but under that it says "Customer P/N: TF700T-DOCK-GR"- so I really do think that it's just a re-badged TF201 dock... Either that or the first line on the label is just a misprint. Dunno... Could also be a TF201 dock with different firmware or something too...
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
i've got the same model number showing and have the dock issue.

it's not a calibration thing; it's actual drain.

with similar usage, i get less uptime docked (starting from 100/100 = ~2.5 days (max) to dead) vs. just the tablet undocked (starting from 100 = ~3.5 (or more) days to dead). nothing intensive. just web-surfing, email, etc in the evenings for several hours while watching TV.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I don't get it... I think that it must be related to settings and/or apps installed. I think the only way we'll figure it out (hopefully, at least) is to have a group of people (some that have the issue and some that don't) and do clean installs using the exact same options and see if we all have it before loading any apps or changing any settings at all. Our installs would need to be exactly the same... But, I know that is a royal PIA, so not sure if that can actually be done or not...

Then if, we get a consistent result between everyone, try a different set of config options, etc. And keep repeating until we identify what is causing the drain.

I'm willing to do that if we do it over a weekend (I use the TF700 for some work stuff)....
[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
I do not have the battery drain issue (fortunately). Settings > About shows this dock number:

DOCK-EC20N-0207

. I bought it new at the same time I bought my TF700; so, it ought to be the official dock.

I can confirm the info on the box tomorrow or Friday, if needed.

I can also be one of the testers, who is not having the battery drain issue, if needed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
Same dock. Willing to sacrifice a weekend of testing... :D

Edit: Wrong dock - mine is DOCK-EC21N-105

Im using a TF300t dock, and im 90% sure i dont have the issue(My tf700 is on charge most of the time) [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] are tf300t users complaining of the same issue? i wonder if would be possible to flash tf300t dock firmware onto the tf700/tf201 docks
[Asus Transformer TF700] liney_2000:
Same dock here, and I do have the battery drain problem as well. Will test.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
DOCK-EC21N-0105

I am almost positive I do not have the drain issue, but I'm in - provided we open a dedicated thread in the Q&A section for it.

[MENTION=972963]jtrosky[/MENTION] I know you hate that idea, but I think this issue affects quite a few people and hardly anybody will find the bits and pieces about in within the CROMi-X thread. If we find any kind of hint or even a solution - wouldn't it be nice if those searching for the dock draining issue would find it nice and neatly in it's own thread?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Some TF300 users complain as do prime users.

It is not related to CROMi-X as the same drain occurs on stock based ROMs like androwook and also pure Asus nonrooted ROMs.
[Asus Transformer TF700] schidddy:
i was having the same odd battery drainage on my old tf700 too. Always loosing about 30-40% Battery overnight even all wireless connections ware disabled and greenified alot of things. Never found out what it was. My new tf701 doesnt has this issue anymore at all. Actually the battery life is crazy on that thing. I do only loose about 1-2% (on standby) of battery in about 10hrs on battery saving mode (wireless off during screen off) and 3-4% while on normal mode (wireless on during screen off) Its really insane!! Willing to do some testings too if u tell me what to do. I have both tf700 and tf701 here.

Cheers
[Asus Transformer TF700] intulsa:
This tf300t user defiantly has the issue. Much longer battery without the dock. Asus_dec wakelock. Was thinking of getting a tf700 because of the problem.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
OK, cool - it looks like we'll have plenty of testers...I'll put together some sort of 'test plan' for the first round of testing. And I agree that this stuff should be in its own dedicated thread. I'll post a link to the thread when I come up with the first test scenario.

Believe it or not, I used a similar approach once to determine why a particular Linksys router would experience 'random' reboots when using DD-WRT firmware and we ended up solving it! There is a chance this could work... The router issue was similar in that some had the reboots and some didn't...

We'll see what happens - start making your backups! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Just figured this out... navbar transparency does not work when using live wallpaper. Oddly, the status bar does, so I kept thinking I was doing something wrong. Once I switched wallpaper, the navbar immediately went transparent.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Snah001:
Ok, I solved the drain problem in a different way :angel:

Ordered the TF701 and will receive it tomorrow.

Have to travel a lot the coming time (USA / South Africa / USA) so really need a tablet that keeps it's charge :(

What the price concerns it is much cheaper (incl. dock) then the TF700 was 1 year ago.

My TF700 will go to my wife and I will revert it back to Cromi 3.7. or lower where the drainage doesn't happen.

Only thing is that there is no root available for the TF701 but will try this weekend some generic root tools.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
Would it be possible to turn off the keyboard while docked? Similar to how we can turn off wifi and bt? Something in the scripts/code that we can manually change so the tablet doesn't view it being connected and the dock goes into standby until needed we need it.

That may let us keep the dock and tab connected and avoid having the drain for activities like listening to music or watching a video. I also like using the dock as the keyboard stand at work. It lets me fit the screen perfectly behind and between my two monitors at work. Nice spot to watch videos and still be looking toward the mointors. "Multitasking" at it's best. :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] Drenus:
Thanks for doing this! I would also like to help out. As for keeping track of battery drain, do you think it would be worth while to keep track of drain during both (1) when dock and tablet are both charged; and (2) after the dock has charged the tablet? Here's a sample of what such tracking may look like. I took my battery measurements over the past 70 hours while using the tablet to only check on battery status and a few minutes on xda. I didn't start from 100% so there may be a difference if both the tablet and dock are fully charged.

First column = time in minutes

Second column = time in hours

Third and Fourth columns = battery % of dock and tablet

An interesting thing I noticed from this run is that the battery depletion increased after the dock had charged the tablet.

Tablet battery: when the tablet battery went down from 92% to 70%, it lost about 0.45% per hour. But after the dock had charged the tablet back to 90%, the depletion from 90% to 75% was at 0.77% per hour.

Dock battery: dock battery went down from 96% to 80% before it charged the tablet, and lost about 0.33% per hour. Charging the tablet from 70% to 90% took the dock battery down to 44%. But after the dock had charged the tablet, the depletion from 44% to 34% was 0.51% per hour.

Hopefully this makes sense (and my math is correct). Maybe I used the tablet a little more after the dock charged the tablet, but I'm not too sure.

With these numbers, I don't think I'm experiencing the "drain" that a lot people seem to have. I remember a few versions back where both my tablet and dock would be fully charged in the morning, but would be down to less than half by the end of the day without usage.

The other thing I noticed is that when I check on Battery" in Settings, it shows the battery being charged (the green line) even when my tablet is charged above 70%.

----------------

Wanted to add that I'm running CROMi-X 5.0.4 with Hund 3.3.6 ET, not using MobileDock Battery saving mode and Wifi on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
Wouldn't it be better to start a new thread for the battery testing. You could get a lot more people involved. Go to generals in both 700 and 300 threads. I can see a very large amount of post that dont really relate to cromix development thread. I dont know about others but im pretty glaced by the amount already.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Agree. Let's make it happen! Who is leading it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Suddenly have an issue where wifi is not turning off during sleep. No settings changes and maybe only a game or 2 installed in the last few days. No other changes -- I had this verison (5.1a) since it came out. Now battery drain is awful.

Any suggestions/things to look at? I'm going to restore a nandroid, but that will take me back to pre-5.1a.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I too completely agree with putting this in a separate thread (like I already said). I planned on starting the testing on Saturday morning.

Personally, I want to keep the test size somewhat limited (having more than a handful of testers would just complicate things if you ask me). I would rather keep the testers to known people that have participated in this thread previously, to be honest. Obviously, anyone *can* participate once we start the new thread, but like I said, I'd rather keep the group of testers rather small.

If you want to help test, please PM me and I'll respond with the new thread location once I create it later today. Please specify in the PM if you have or don't have the problem.

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Install wake lock detector first and post some findings. I doubt it's the ROM causing it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
I wasn't blaming the ROM -- sorry if it came out that way. I used WLD and nothing obvious came up. When I checked the battery usage, wifi was off the charts, and subsequent testing (putting the device to sleep) showed that Wifi never turned off, even during sleep. The settings have not changed and I double-checked all the wifi-during-sleep settings were off (same as before the issue).

I'm supposing that some app setting somewhere is messing with it. I'm restoring the 5.04 nandroid, then will upgrade to 5.1a again (same path I took before) and it was fine up until a few days ago. Hopefully that will bring me back...

I need lots of battery time for my trip to vegas tomorrow!! :cool:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No not at all. It's just Asus report WiFi as the largest battery consumer on everyone's device and I don't think it is true.

A logcat would also tell you what is keeping it awake. What apps did you install?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Drenus:
Back on development, sbdags, do you think you'll plunge back into the frankenrom any time soon? Not trying to push you because you've done more to make this tablet usable than anyone on the planet, and I couldn't thank you enough. :victory: But I don't think I'll be transitioning to TF701T anytime soon due to budget constraints, and was wondering what kind of magic we'll see from the frankenrom. :fingers-crossed: Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Well that's a good question. I think there are 2 many differences between the TF701 and TF700 to make it very useful. The main issue is the framework and apps are designed for a much higher res so i'd need to do something about that first as they don't scale well to our device.

You never know I may be able to port some over. I plan on some more hacking this weekend. Going to see what the new Asus browser is like. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Did someone say "frankenrom"? :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Just stuff from amazon, app of the day stuff: Tiny Theif, Sprinkle Island... I think that's it. I know about the 'misreporting' of wifi, but since it's not shutting down on sleep, I'm thinking that its right in this case.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Really sounds like one of those apps may be stopping the tablet from going into deep sleep. Easy enough to try un-installing them, reboot and then see if the problem goes away. If it does, at least you know whats causing it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
They're just games, but possibly. Reverting seems to have helped, I think. Need to test more. Additionally, I had facebook installed, but not signed in... I think it may have been aggressive trying to determine status/location/etc.

It's CM 10.2 on my (unmodified) stock-based kernel, running fully on a microSD card (ROM2SD). No idea about stability yet - it was my first build from source ever, I had to hack a bit to add the things I forgot on the first try to get it to boot, but it didn't crash. This is still very experimental - don't expect a ROM release from me anywhere soon. But maybe I'll have something for those who don't want to leave their current ROM and only want to experiment a little. :)

Received this morning my TF701, let it update and started a try to root but with several tools it didn't work.

Made with Asus Backup a backup of my apps on my TF700 and restored them on the TF701 without a problem.

Just the apps that need root don't work.

Unlock app is available but want to wait till the 14 days return period is over.

Now wait till Sbdags get his hands on one and let the Cromi magic begin.

I am running ET with Hund since the released. I don't encounter any problem at all. Can you tell us a little more about the problem that you have? Did you do a clean installation?

I always format my data partition when I install new rom. It does not take that long to format data partition but it runs smooth and no hiccup down the road. It is my observation and it seems to work very well.. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] cullenmq1:
Yeah I did a full factory reset before. The only thing that I couldve done that may have caused that reboot is I changed the clock frequency of the cores in power saving mode to only run on 2 cores @ 1.3. Do you not change the frequencies or is that just too low?

Ive done advanced wipe and checked data. Is there a different format data option or is that it? It was probably just a freak thing then where the random reboot just happened at the wrong time. I would send a log but I wiped everything :/
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Under Wipe menu, there are two options for you. One is advance Wipe and other is format option. In the format option, you need to type "yes" to confirm..

Just a warning, before using format, you need to move all your personal data to your external sd. It will loose everything on this data partition..;)

I've had the slow to wake up problem on the last couple of builds. I had to do a clean install including reformatting the data partition after running into problems with Hund's kernel and CROMi 5 RC 2. I did the normal cache and Dalvic wipe when I went to the Signed version of 5.0. The browser problem, the rubber banding graphic elements, has also been present for at least the last few builds. I don't know exactly when they started--i just thought it was only a problem on my particular tablet. I was glad to hear that others have it too.

[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
You need to make sure you restored original settings. Adblock replaces host file that tells computer what address can come through. If you did a proper uninstall original host file was restored. If you freeze adblock it would not restore host file . Also there is evidence that if you choose adblock on rom install and then reinstall rom without adblock blocking, without uninstalling or restoring original host file, blocking host file is still there.

Start adblock and either uninstall or restore original host file.

Hope that helps,
