I think I have battery issue - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I don't understand why my battery lasts only 7hrs! I only use my prime to surf, and I use also tapatalk and fb messenger, with push email.
I set balanced mode, with ips+ on and half brightness. I remember my old ipad lasted about 2 days
Do you think my battery has some problem?
Should I send my prime in rma?

Its because you have super ips on. You don't need to have that on unless you are outside in sunlight.

exactly what he said ips+ is a huge battery hog turn it off and set it to auto and you will get much better battery

Yeah dude its super ips+ turn it off you'll see the result

Ok I'll try. But with auto brightness I see nothing :-D

Just turn off Super IPS. You don't have to use auto brightness. Just don't needlessly max out the brightness.

ezPDF is a huge battery muncher. I use MyLibrary and lose about 15% from about 2 hours of usage.

interesting WIFI Bug

I noticed today that my WIFI was exceptionally slow on my device. Being 4 feet away from my wireless router, i was getting 1-5 mbps speed..
my router has a function that lists connected wifi devices and the assumed connection speed.. it said my Transformer was connected at 58mbps.. so something was fishy
Everything was exceptionally slow, even browsing. after a simple full shutdown and startup it was back to normal. maybe this is the wifi bug some people were having? anyways, a restart made it exceptionally better
anyone else come across this?
Haven't seen this yet but it does sound like your unit has a wifi defect. :banghead: I can say the following two things:
1. The operating channel/frequency does seem to make small differences. Probably noise in my environment.
2. Wireless range seems to be short. I'm getting no where as good of range as my iPhone can. I'd say its short by a good 25 feet or so.

well the weird thing, im normally fine. i play was playing spotify (high BW audio) in my driveway (through two walls and total about 50 feet) and was getting great reception.
just had this one issue. weird.
It's not a bug. The 58Mbs is the reported link rate, not the actual throughput. Many people mistake the link rate for bandwidth.
I think some of the lag mentioned (elsewhere) are due to poor wifi connectivity.

anker 3500mah battery Review impressive

Hello,
Few days before i got an anker 3500mah battery. I found it very impressive. just to see where it stands i just run antutu benchmark. it was started from 100% full charge to 15%.
it was running all the night.
just to check the accuracy, i tried it for another night. result was almost same.
It was quite good. cpu usage 100%, brightness full, wifi on, bluetooth on.
and I got 765 score. which was on second place after motorola zoom.
just see image.

Its just a brand new battery, hrd that after some recharge cycle it will enhance more.
may be after switching off wifi and bluetooth,we can get better score.
I need backup, as i travel a lot. This one, i found to be nice, good cheap replacement. although it makes phone bit bulky, but doesnt matter. back cover is good enough.
Ok..how about some real results like what the stock battery stats says? The graph will look like this

So... Is this battery good for the Evo 3D?
I got this from ebay in 19$, sure I will just try to get that stat. Till yet I have not tested it thoroughly, as my number is not yet ported. But in a day it will, I will full charge it, use it as heavily and let you know an legit review, worth a buying or not.

does this battery lose its power after some time?
does this battery work as a real 3500mah battery?
Would you mind getting Battery Monitor Widget (free) and running a Calibration and report your result? the method/instruction are posted in this thread

What kind of back cover did you get with the Anker?

If your not using your screen much which clearly your not then it is going to be something other than screen at the top, learn how percentages work.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Actually it IS a known issue and there are a few threads on it already.
How is this an issue? Like Lennyuk said, if you don't use your phone that much, then obviously standby would be the nr. 1. power drain.
Actually, both arguments could be correct...
Unless the stock software is extremely efficient, and makes the screen somehow super efficient, then it would be normal for standby to be that high. Another point to note, is are you complaining about battery life? or just the fact that a number on some statistics is high and you don't like it?
The counter argument to that is, if you look at mine on CM9, cell standby is a lot lower. Make of that what you want.

What's everyone's battery life like?

Well I've had this for just about 2 months now so I believe the battery is well broken in. With a smaller battery as far as tablets go I was wondering what everyone is getting as for daily use? Please post screenshots and screen on times along with any mods or apps you are running to increase it. Here are mine for today.

So..uh...bump?
Sent from my SGP311 using Tapatalk 4
Alright I'll join in I'm quite happy with the battery life. Sure, my old iPad 2 had a bit better battery life but this is still very good and definitely enough for a tablet in my opinion. And considering how light and thin this tablet is compared to the iPad, I'd say it's a pretty good trade-off.
Brightness was set to auto and I don't think I had stamina mode on as I normally don't. I do usually turn wifi off manually when I leave the tablet for a longer period of time though. No mods or anything like thatä

Not sure what actual battery life is like yet as I've only had the XTZ for 2.5 days. I had it off the charger and never used it for over 11 hours and only had 4% battery drain. This is the LTE version with Stamina mode enabled.

If you guys are gonna post battery info you should also include if you have stamina mode in or not. As for me in my 32gb WiFi XTZ I get about 5 he's screen in time usually with stamina mode off.

Battery not so good... Bigger battery?

There is a battery coming out for our phones that's over 3x the strength of ours, And it comes with a case that looks as durable as an otterbox.

My battery last two to three days. No need for a bigger battery, I get roughly 9 hours screen on time

Agreed. If you can't make it through the day on the stock battery you probably have something running constantly in the background or a wakelock issue.

Got to agree with the people up top. Download something like GSam Battery and check what's running in your background.

Do not have a clue what a wake lock is but I am lucky to get 2 days, when GPS and bluetooth are on 24/7.
I like them on always, GPS for my runs and bluetooth for the car, gear, and fitbit.
Turn GPS off seems better.
I've been off the charger for 30 min, pretty constant use checking messages and such, down %5 that's 10%/hour, 5 hours of screen on time? If it were more like 9 I could actually make it through a day at work.
Heres a screen shot, I just downloaded that gsam battery app, so we'll see today what happens

10,000 mah looks cool, I will think about it.
Now that app says android system (wake lock) is the most draining issue on my phone. How do I fix wake lock issues?

I bought a Hyperion Extended 6400 mah battery. Doing first charge tonight. Will let you know how it goes
Case feels great on the phone. It makes it feel better in hand because it gives you something to hold on.
the stock battery is just fine for me. i charge every other day and still have a good percentage left. :good:
There is already a thread about the ZeroLemon 10,000mAh Battery.
Mine lasts 5 days with minimal use, 2 with regular and 1.5 with intensive.
Plus I just pre-ordered a 15600mah powerpack mobile charger. I'm set.
