So I searched the Q&A section but couldn't find my problem exactly so I thought I would ask. I leave my prime attached to the ASUS keyboard dock all the time. I will charge it while it is on overnight (so both the tablet battery and the dock battery show 100%), but 2 days later the battery is 100% dead and I haven't even used the tablet! The ASUS power setting is set to Balanced, and the MobileDock Batter Saving Mode and Disconnect network during sleep are also both checked. I am stumped.
I have attached a screen shot of what the battery graph shows, and it is quite weird to me.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thats really weird seems like a defective battery but definetly give your prime a cold boot that always seems clear up and problems for me.

Forgive my ignorance, but what do you mean by a cold boot? When the battery dies, it is fully shut down, so it always starts from a completely shut down state. Thanks!
So I just figured out something interesting. I opened my tablet today and again it was dead, or at least was off and wouldn't turn on. So, I took it off the keyboard dock, and wouldn't you know it turned on!! It is at 54% but the tablet battery is fine. I think the dock may be bad. Anyone else have a problem with the docks?

you (and everybody else running ics on prime) have sod. Do a search here. it only happens when docked. if you hold the power button for 20seconds or thereabouts it will reboot and you will be fine.

How low can it go? Ive ben trying to drain the battery all day and its finallydown to 3% at the time of this post. Is this thing going to go right to zero or what. So far i got 32 hours in balanced mode. I used it for mainlyforum browsing and a game or 2. But i just leave it on overnight so that accounts for about 10 hours.

Great battery life and charges in 3hrs! My GT 10.1 has great batt life to but charge time was a good 8hrs. It took forever!

Just got my keyboard dock and for some reason the battery will not discharge to my prime. I got it out of the box, charged it for 8 hours, installed the firmware update, and it will not charge the device. Down in the bottom corner I see the icon that shows the keyboard should be chargeing the prime but the stock battery widget as well as dual battery widget are showing only the device discharging which the dock is remaining at 98%. Anyone else having this issue? Think its just a defective unit? The dock is securly connected and every other function works.
Any help would be appreciated.

It will start charging after the tablet gets to around 70%

I though that was pretty weird at first too.
Thanks.. mine has the same, but why does it do that? The TF101 doesn't work that way too. It isn't really nice imho.
My prime dock only charges sometimes when I plug my tablet in, Is this normal? Does it only start charging after my tablet drops below a certain percentage?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
When the tab drops below 70%, it'll start sucking power from the keyboard until (I forget which) it is up at either 90% or 100%.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
Yep, that's totally normal. There's a bunch of threads that describe the charging characteristics of the dock.
Ahhh great thanks guys, I was worried there for a little while.

I have the problem of the dock never charging the tablet.
After searching around I don't see anyone else with this problem.
Looks like this one is going back.
It seems that when I have the screen off on my TP for a while, the connection turns "gray" and I'm unable to use the internet. The only way to fix it is to turn the wifi on and off.
I tried a factory reset and it worked fine for a day or two, but now its doing it again...
Any suggestions?
Go into setting... wifi... then in the upper right corner press on it then hit advanced.... you'll find your answer there... wifi sleep policy should say"always"
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
I have it on "Always" Keep Wi-fi on during sleep.
Its not that my tablet disconnects from my network...it is still connected, but the symbol is gray and doesn't send/recieve data.
Also for reference I have a WRT-54GL running tomato 1.28 firmware
What mode is it on? Try perfomance if its not... thinking it must be some battery saving thing or battery saver app

You know I was racking my brain as to WHY the transformer started doing this again in the last day. Then I remembered that I changed it from performance to balanced yesterday
I think you are exactly right, I'll see what happens over the next few days. Thanks for the prompt reply!
I noticed this gray "issue" this morning, but I've since sent my prime into Asus for repair.
The four bands of WiFi used to be blue over gray. This morning the WiFi bands were bright gray over darker gray.

Hey guys,
I just spent an hour puzzling over how this could drain 20% in an hour while simply reading a PDF (ezPDF reader, screen on, flipping pages every 2-3 minutes) with auto brightness on, wifi on with a strong connection - not downloading or doing anything in the background.
Charging for an hour on the dock too, it's up to 90% but killed half of my dock's battery.
I had MUCH better battery life on .14 with my BC0K s/n tablet (this is a C10), but I got this one the day .15 was released so I have nothing to compare against.
Do you guys think I'm having these issues with .15 or could it be a h/w issue? Don't want to unlock and try virtuous if I have a lemon battery.

You'd want to look at the stats to see what exactly is draining the battery. I've used ezPDF to read PDF for two hours undocked with the screen constantly on and not getting anywhere close to that amount of drain.
I'm also on .15 by the way.

what stats specifically?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app
.15 massacred my battery too.
I ended up unlocking and flashing virtuous (.14) which fixed the problem for the most part.
if you can't unlock - there's a riskier method of downgrading in the development forum.

Hmm I was gonna say the battery stats in the settings, but it seems the feature is broken on my Prime so chances are it's broken for you too... There might be some apps on the market that lets you see how much power each app is using but I haven't used one. Anyone has any idea?
