Not to worry anyone but I found a thread that said Gservicefix was a spam app. I promptly uninstalled it. Anyone any better info? Otherwise I'm reinstalling lol
[Asus Transformer TF701] hitmancho:
I have an update from the past few hours! (literally, lol)

About 2 hours ago I was playing with my tablet trying to fix the battery drain the non-rooted way. Suddenly I got a firmware update notification. It was very small (12 MB, as far as I recall) - the build number for the WW version is 11.4.1.29. I plugged in my dock, let it become visible, let the tablet update and optimize all the apps and now, after playing with it for 30 minutes or so, I have no drain! It was 92% after using it and for another 30 minutes it stayed that way. The back, where the SoC, is is ice-cold now, as it should be. As of the time I'm writing this post the update is NOT on ASUS's support page. I hope other people with the WW version (and all others) start getting it soon or have already got it. The tablet is finally functioning as it should again!

What's the version number please? Hopefully a good Christmas present! :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] hitmancho:
Umm, I am not sure about the US numbers but this appears to be the old firmware - mine was at WW 11.4.1.27 BEFORE getting the update. I think this is the old one. My version is now 11.4.1.29 WW.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Owendavies:
Thanks. Updating via ota :)

2.Improve Power consumption when using Wi-Fi

3.Fix IME issue

4.Improve Camera stability

[Asus Transformer TF701] Owendavies:
Download from website and install via Cwm recovery? Off internal sd I would assume.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
If it doesn't install with CWM you may have to flash the stock recovery back.

You can get it at Droidbasement.

Don't know if CWM will handle a stock firmware update correctly. Especially since it seems to be a patch more than a full firmware update.

But it's not on their website yet. At least not in the US. [MENTION=567635]Loner[/MENTION] The screen shot you posted shows the .27 firmware. Nothing new there....
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Could you post the link where you found this, please?

Update is not live on US Asus website. You guys who got it, are you WW?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Smallville123:
Hopefully this fixes the issue!
[Asus Transformer TF701] Jonbest:
No drain since installing this last night. Issue appears fixed :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] s.gana:
your drain is fixed also with keyboard docked in your tablet, or not docked?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Jonbest:
Hi, It was docked overnight with no Wi-Fi on and stayed at 44%. The dock had no charge in it left when it was docked.
[Asus Transformer TF701] s.gana:
Thanks, very good news...
[Asus Transformer TF701] ndompierre:
Same thing here. No drain overnight after the update (undocked)!:good:
[Asus Transformer TF701] JoshReuben:
Has anyone installed the update with CWM recovery?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Owendavies:
I had a little drain overnight but not abnormal (wifi, location etc on) so back to being happy again. Might unlock and root anyway.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Phane7:
I can also verify that battery drain has leveled off with the latest OFW update 11.4.1.29 (was 11.4.1.27 before). I'm showing Google Play Services version 6.5.99 and my battery is still 55% after installing the update last night at about 65% and allowing all updates to install (so that drained a bit of battery) and then allowing the tablet to sleep for about 12 hours. Interestingly, the build date is Dec 18th. That means that when I called tech support about this and they told me I needed to RMA the device since it wasn't a "known issue" it was not only known but already had a fix being tested.
[Asus Transformer TF701] matt_simpson:
update

can any body tell me where to get the update from, i havent recieved it ota even though my tablet is still locked and i cant find it on asus web site

thanks
[Asus Transformer TF701] BErlandson:
I did it through my tablet in the settings menu. Looked for updates and it found it on 3 of my tablets.
[Asus Transformer TF701] matt_simpson:
if i unlock my tablet will it still find the update ota?
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Nope. No OTAs once unlocked. But you can still flash official firmware manually as long as you have the stock recovery installed
[Asus Transformer TF701] matt_simpson:
ok guess i will just have to wait then

thanks
[Asus Transformer TF701] filou76:
ok, i deactivated play services with autostarts + aditionally renamed libwvdrmengine.so.

draining starts again from the moment i open play store app. checked it a couple of times. anyone else?

maybe someone who only did the libwvdrmengine.so thing can confirm this is not the case? thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Not here.

Removed the lib file and get at most 2% drain over 8 hours of sleep.

Undo the Autostarts changes and reboot.

The lib file removal worked for everyone else AFAIK....

[Asus Transformer TF701] pbyron:
I'm on CM11 snapshot no dock and confirm renaming the two files has completely fixed the problem. I can't believe it's that simple thanks everyone now I don't need to buy a new tablet!

After using it for a couple days I get virtually zero battery drain while sleeping and on-screen time seems much better now also (although I haven't measured it)
[Asus Transformer TF701] filou76:
thanks for your feedback! did it as you wrote. i'm still getting 1-2 % drain per h over night. one day it's play services (with e.g. fingerprint scanner service holding the tablet awake 70%), the next day it's just android os causing main battery drain. confusing and annoying. maybe something messed up through all the service disablings. i think i'll do a factory reset and try pershoots newest version of bootloader and recovery.img.

edit: factory reset helped, now without the DRM file sleep mode is perfect, 1% drain over night.
[Asus Transformer TF701] JoshReuben:
Am on WW .17 using Cromi-X, rooted & unlocked. Deleting the DRM files solved the no-sleep issue, but drain is still an issue during screen-on time.

I would love to update to .29 without having to reflash the whole ROM. Has anyone seen the kernel/bootloader packages yet (ie the WW equivalent of the US packages on Droid Basement)?
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
What do you consider to be "drain" during screen-on? If you use the tablet the battery will go down - that's a given... Turning down brightness etc will reduce battery use, but why do you call it a drain?

I haven't seen the WW OTA update file or a flashable bootloader yet and I asked pershoot, he said it's probably not a good idea to flash the .29 BL with CROMi-X installed. In addition to the kernel some lib files in /system also changed and we should wait for a full update.

I would think you should be able to flash it on sbdag's stock rooted 11.4.1.27. though. Since it's basically stock I don't see why that wouldn't work....
[Asus Transformer TF701] filou76:

xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57788385&postcount=612

pershoot describes how to use US bootloader and change it to "WW". haven't tried. i'm on aokp an still struggeling with drain, i'll probably try that and see...
[Asus Transformer TF701] pershoot:
BL you can update. I assume there were ramdisk changes made in cromi-x, so for kernel you can pull it and mate it with the new kernel and flash that (there doesn't appear to be any ramdisk changes from ASUS .27 -> .29). For libraries you can update that if none were hex'd in cromi-x (i.e. modified). Framework changes that were smali'd, you would need to liaise with sbdags prior to updating and porting over.
[Asus Transformer TF701] pershoot:
Its not just the bootloader, you would need to update the kernel as well (there were wireless driver changes) and there were updates to a few library files. You can see all of this on github.
[Asus Transformer TF701] JoshReuben:
Abnormally fast drain, regardless of screen brightness, even with sync and gps turned off. It behaves like my s3 before I had debloated it... though it sleeps like baby. I've noticed and complained of the CPU pegging at max ,both in CM and Asus roms. On my s3 or s5, I'd simply flash a better kernel but here, choices are limited. I'm hoping that this new batch does the trick.
[Asus Transformer TF701] pershoot:
There is no CPU pegging on CM. You touch the screen it goes to max, let go and it settles back. If you are pegging to max without touching it you have some runaway app/process doing work. You need to investigate that on your end as that would be isolated.

The kernel I bundle in CM is fine. It has been updated from .66 to .105 so you get all the security fixes and enhancements from k.org. I have also included some nvidia specific fixes as well and some misc additions.
[Asus Transformer TF701] pershoot:
If you are getting this behavior, which I have not come across, on a pure CM installation with no extraneous mods/apps then please submit a JIRA ticket with the relevant debug/logs attached and how to reproduce and I will investigate.
[Asus Transformer TF701] JoshReuben:
Thanks Pershoot. I really appreciate your quick reply, as always! And, my apologies - didn't mean to dis your kernel. It's been almost 6 months since I last tried CM, so will give it a shot and report back.
[Asus Transformer TF701] pershoot:
Use 12/29 nightly or 12/28 unofficial from droidbasement.

Be on 11.4.1.29 bootloader.

If you use google apps please use the latest from a trusted and known good source.

[Asus Transformer TF701] ky236:
Let us know your finding :) I've applied the file deletion fix on the .27 Asus stock ROM, but also had this funny feeling the screen-on battery drain seems a bit high (kernel battery drain is still shown as top contributer, even though now it sleeps perfectly - not sure of this is normal or not). Would be curious to see your thoughts on the CM build. Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF701] JoshReuben:
Clean installed 12/29 nightly with most recent PAgapps full. Other than greenify and Better Battery Stats, no special apps and have all notifications turned off by default. Good strong wifi signal.

Following is my BBS screenshot. So far, results are on par with Asus based CromiX, so am happy. Will continue tinkering and reporting back. It's still a new install, so waiting for it to settle down.

A little help?

Hey folks,

I've been using custom ROMs for most of the time I've had my tablet.

In the last update (.29 bootloader) Asus fixed the battery drain, but how can I take advantage of this when I'm on a custom ROM? Ideally, I'd like to be running on the latest update and yet avoid having to run stock. Is this possible?

I've tried flashing the latest update overtop of a custom ROM (Crombi-X 7) , but no dice. Bootloader actually shows me .29, however Settings itself shows me something older... and the drain is not fixed.

I've resorted to going back to stock for now, losing root and having to deal with bloat and / or crazy theming just to get the battery life back. Is there another way... or could someone explain it clearly?

Thank you!
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Settings will always show the rom base, not the bootloader version.

The fix is right here in this thread. I suggest you start reading..... Page 5 or so....
[Asus Transformer TF701] Trevor_g:
I've done my reading, sir. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough:

I've done the workaround (deleting / renaming those .so files) and that does fix the drain of course. What I'm asking, is if it's possible to run the latest update from Asus that not *only* fixes the battery drain, but apparently also includes wifi optimizations and etc. As I mentioned, I've tried flashing the .29

update from droidbasement overtop of a custom ROM, but no luck there.

Is what I want possible? If so, I'd love a step-by-step.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
So if I understand you correctly you want:

CROMi-X + .29 bootloader + the other "improvements" of the stock .29 release?

In that case: No, you'll have to wait for the next CROMi-X release.

What you can do is flash CM11 which pershoot already updated based on the .29 changes: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57788385&postcount=612

[Asus Transformer TF701] royredman:
Hi, I am currently using Asus's 4.3 bootloader. I prevented updating to the 4.4 bootloader because of the problems with battery life, performance, etc. I am asking if it is worth it for me to update to the newest bootloader. Has there been any noticeable problems with this in your experience? Has the heat issue with the processor (the back of the tablet getting really warm when using it) gone away? If there is no issues known, I will update.

Also, How do I update the bootloader properly? I believe this is the correct link for it.

http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3655

I am not sure if I can just jump to that bootloader though, or if I have to update bootloader by bootloader. And Do I also need to update my CWM Recovery before flashing the bootloader or after? I apologize if I sound like a noob, but I want to be very careful with this thing since I plan to be using it for the next 2+ years in school and can't afford to brick it. Thanks for your help!! :D
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Good strategy! Better safe than sorry!

The answer depends on what you plan to do after flashing a new bootloader. Which rom do you want ot run?

If you want to run the BL you linked to you should flash pershoot's latest CM11 afterwards. That's the only custom rom updated to the latest Asus release.

I don't know of any performance issues with the 4.4. bootloader(s) and the battery drain is easily fixed (see this thread).

You can also flash the .27 bootloader/CWM package from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf701/development/rom-nov-24-t2951032

and run the stock rooted, CROMi-X 7.0.3 or CM 11 on it...

No, you don't have to update the bootloader sequentiallly. You can flash any of those I mentioned on top of the current one.

I don't know if you need to update your recovery since you didn't post what you got now.... ;)
[Asus Transformer TF701] SteveConley:
Confirming the Pershoot / DroidBasement fix and question ....

After previously applying the SO file fixes to the TF701T with CM11 I had MUCH better battery life but was still getting better on the TF700T I also have.

So I applied the DroidBasement/Preshoot change to get the 0.29 BL and it is now AMAZING: overnight, screen off, WIFI on and SYNC on, there was usage, but 12 hours later, the batter showed 99% (not docked to keyboard to compare to TF700T).

So I tried FULL BRIGHTNESS screen and an app that would keep it on, but was a "reading" app, so no significant CPU use. And in fact when I checked after 2 hours - 100% of battery use was the screen.

but the TF700 was at 49% and the TF701 was at 73% - TWO HOURS full brightness.

(also, if the brightness is set "about" half (you have to "eye it") - the the battery life is approximately double the above figure.

So I am feeling good about the TF701 but now not so much the TF700.

So first an observation. Both machines setup as identically as I can get them.

except for current firmware:

TF700:

BL US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801

CW Recovery 6.0.4.7

CM11 nightly 12/30

TF701:

BL 0.29 from Pershoot/DroidBasement

CW Recovery 6.0.5.1

CM11 UNOFFICIAL 12/28 from Pershoot/DroidBasement

As I understand it, the BL is very hardware specific ... so my question, if anyone knows, is are these issues very hardware specific for the TF701 ??

The TF700 does NOT has the *.SO files - so that was not an issue.

AND - is there any reason the screen would be different?

Because the TF700 is noticeably brighter and bluer - when both are set to max brightness on the SAME APP.
[Asus Transformer TF701] royredman:
so you are saying that your tf701t is performing better battery life wise compared to your tf700? I really hope this wasn't a typo. If so, that is awesome!! Reasons for that may be because there is newer hardware on the tf701t (faster processor makes it easier to get through tasks, meaning using less power= less battery), possibly a bigger battery and a more energy efficient screen. Sadly, I never owned a tf700t so I don't think most of us can comment about the tf700t (since this is a tf701t thread), but it should be a good thing that your newer tablet runs better than your older tablet (thats how it should turn out). Displays are different for each tablet (in some cases, even dealing with the same exact tablet model). They could of used a different display to maximize the battery life, or the costs for the tablet.

---------- Post added at 01:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 AM ----------

thanks for the quick reply, unfortunately mine was not quick. haha. Well, I am not really sure if it is worth it to update to 4.4 or the 4.4.2 bootloader. I assume the fixes on the 4.4.2 bootloader are really impressive and hope they are really worth it, but then again, I would only have one rom i can install onto the tablet. can anyone chime in on if the 4.4.2 update is worth updating to or, If I should just stay on 4.4 for a while?

also, my recovery is 6.0.5.1 , but it was downloaded in august, so maybe I should download a newer updated one.

can you link me to the link on updating to .29 (the newest Bootloader). Thanks for all your help!!! :D

I just installed gservices fix & im shocked to see overnight I only lost 3% of my battery while in standby. This is a massive improvement and I'm glad to see that this problem is related to google services & not something that asus did. I am on Android 4.3 rooted with towelroot.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Danforth:
It turns out after months of trouble that this was a hardware problem -- a loose connection between the battery and the motherboard! When I had the aluminum back of my tablet replaced last year because of a dent, the technician did not put in new, double-sided tape to secure the battery to the back of the tablet. So physical movement of the battery would occassionally cause the connector to come loose!

I can't believe how many times I tried wiping and reinstalling different ROMs... The techs at Asus Hong Kong didn't figure this out, and made me buy a new battery -- which also eventually disconnected. It took an Asus tech in Kunming, China to figure out that some tape was needed!
