Ok i have posted these comments elsewhere. At the moment I have been lihjtly using my phone and it has been on standby since 1930 (10/2/11) and currently it stands at 80% charge at 1430 (11/2/11)
All I have done is turn flash to on demand (internet-settings-enable plugins- select on demand) I have also got the option to turn my mobile data usage off as well.
The idea came from a blog I was reading about macbook air and why Apple does not ship it with Flash, as it is this software that chews into the Macbook airs battery.
So i applied same idea to the DHD and Voila!
gonna give it a try
thanks btw

I'm trying this now and I've also noticed that apps are loading faster. Let me try the games...
Cheers from my DHD.
Hey....Nice one....Looks like the phone is faster now...Running CM7...can notice a visible difference...will leave it for some time to check the standby battery consumption
How did you turn off the mobile data usage ?

I used the mobile data app from the settings selection I think

Or you can go to settings > wireless. Or set up a widget.
Cheers from my DHD.
Not sure if I notice a difference but I'll report back in a few days time. Thanks for the tip bro
Something I know is the XDA app works better and faster. I don't know why its so...
Cheers from my DHD.
Have just turned plungins to on demand... not sure if it's just me but things do start to feel a tad bit faster/smoother...
What are the implications of changing this setting? Would browsing sites with flash take a slightly longer time to load?

Well I cannot say about speed difference as it may be anecdotal however, I have now put it on charge this morning as it hit less than 10%. So in total it has lasted 36 hours!!!
I will fully charge again and try leaving the phone with internet data on and see what kind of difference this will make.
Over the past two days I have surfed on the phone, downloaded several podcasts (Freakonomics) listened to them all and done all the usual things with this phone. It now seems to behave how my Iphone 3GS use to act when in 2g mode.
Conclusion:
Impressed and overall consistency of improved battery life is finally available if we follow the Apple way and get the Flash off!!!lol.
Sorry could not help myself
Where can i find the setting to turn off? I would like to try and see if the battery life is better but i can't find the specified setting?
Never mind, found it. Lets see if this does the trick? Thanks

Isn't it common sense to turn off Mobile Data when you don't need it?
No wonder people complain about battery life when they have every single setting and sync turned on.
will give it a bash now
Reporting back to say my battery is. Holding back longer than it used to be...

Can anyone explain how to turn flashh off please.
Yup, This is a great post
With a web page open goto menu, settings, scroll to the bottom and change plugins to on demand. That's it.
I tried it but haven't noticed any difference.

I purchased HTC's flagship phone. I don't feel I should be restricting fundamental functions like mobile data just to get through the day.....but maybe that's just me.

Running fine for a day, then suddenly when i looked at the screen it was at the "Asus" screen (with the logo and spinny thing below) - i touched the screen and it froze.
And now its frozen.
And I had just charged it...grrr - do i really have to wait 12 hours or however much it takes before the battery is depleted.
I wonder if there is a way to reset it.

Hold the power button down.

Happened to several guys.
Did you try to press and hold power for ten or more seconds? It should power off and you should be able to power it on again.
this is happened to me 3 times so far.
Hold the power button to power off and reboot.
For mine after it boots it'll run ok for a minute or so, then run horribly slow until the launcher crashes. after the launcher starts back up it'd be ok.
Did you hard reset before the OTA? Where you stock, stock rooted, cwm flashed? Just trying to get more info.

We are having way too many threads for the same issue...
Mine still experiences the problem after a factory reset.
As everyone mentioned, holding down the power button fix it temporarily.
Someone else reported that you can avoid the random reboot problem by disabling deep sleep using no sleep widget, although it's a crude walkaround.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Just an idea but what if you use something like SetCPU and up the lower frequency. Had this issue on a kanged ICS rom for my phone. It wasn't the deep sleep that was the problem but the lowest frequency was too low to re-initialize the apps that were cached once you woke it up.
I did a full complete wipe and updated from .13 to ICS and am not going to jinx myself by saying what I am implying. If you know what I mean.
Interesting, and I do agree that there are too many threads, since I am trying to get some idea of how common this is. I think I was the original poster on this, but in any case in my particular situation I tried holding the power button down, resetting it through the reset hole, and holding the power button in while pressing the volume button down (this did give me the option of reformatting which I tried) but in every case it simply flashed the eedpad screen. The battery finally appears to have died and I'm trying to recharge it now, but so far it is now completely dead. All of this happened after it went into deep sleep. This tablet is 100% original, never been rooted or tampered with in any way so, unless this is a coincidence or a combo of ICS and one of the apps I have in it, I expect this to become a very common occurence. Anyway, I'll let it charge for a bit and see what happens. I already have an RMA (the service person didn't seem too surprised and didn't really try much trouble shooting - when I asked if he had heard of this before he kind of said I wasn't the first) so I'm sending it back to Asus on Monday so that when I get it back I can sell it, but I'm just wondering what percentage of people are having this problem. Heck, if it's even just 5% Asus is going to have a major expense on its hand.
I had the dreaded Asus logo freeze twice now, since the ics update. Both times when I wasn't using the tablet.

Mine has frozen 2x already since the ics update. I performed a factory reset before and after the update.
Screen just goes black/blank and would have to hold the power button for 10secs.

Hey thanks, I thought I had pressed power down for long enough - but apparently not.
I was on normal HC and just accepted the update when it prompted me for it.
But if a lot of people are seeing this i guess Asus made a little blunder in this version.
I just came in after leaving my Transformer asleep for about three to four hours, and found the asus logo flashing on for a few seconds and then off, repeating over and over. Had to do a reset with power and vol down to get it to reboot. Seems OK for now except it really drained the battery.
I guess there will be a few ICS bugs to work out.

About the "No Sleep" widget, that was me. Well, this seems to be a widespread issue. Asus should take the update back and stop offering OTA...this is a pretty big issue.

Well asus is good about providing prompt follow up updates so I wouldn't be surprised if we start getting bugfix updates in the coming weeks.
Yea seems like the TF only goes crazy when it's in sleep/not being used.
Mine is not rooted so I don't really want to go through the trouble changing processor frequency.
Where is the reset hole btw?...

It's next to the hdmi port.

I thought it's the mic too... Does your voice record still work after you "reset" your TF?...
Edit: Saw the dreaded Asus loading screen again when I came back from dinner... 3rd time today... It's getting on my nerves a bit now. Such a pity that the TF is perfect besides this issue... I don't care if it reboots every hour or so, as long as it doesn't hang and depletes the battery.
Just to clarify, and so others don't break their microphone,THERE IS NO RESET HOLE! if your device is frozen, hold the power button to reset.
Are we certain its the deep sleep causing this?
Didn't happen to me this morning. I stopped using it around midnight and woke up fine the next day.

How do you it didn't happen? It doesn't get stuck at the ASUS logo for me, it simply reboots. Try leaving something open, like a browser window, turn off the screen and come back sometime later. If it's back to the homescreen and there are no recent apps, then it rebooted.
I don't know if it is the deep sleep that is causing it. All i know is that the bug is only triggered while sleeping. Every logcat i get stops at an AlarmManager event, before the reboot.

Just got HTC Sense 3.0 (2.3.5) upgrade on T-Mobile...something is eating my battery like no tomorrow..was lasting a day..now with same use Im getting 4 - 6 hours.
I've checked whats syncing but it could be the blasted background sync.
Anyone else have this?
All in all the upgrade to 3.0 totally sucks. Bought me nothing of note and I don't like the new screen unlock.

So flash an older stock version? (why anyone likes OEM bloat is beyond me)
Download BetterBatteryStats and check for partial wakelocks, shut off the phone and remove the battery for a few minutes to reset the phone's fuel gauge.
You could theoretically revert if you so wished, but that may be an issue.
Hey ! solution si to Full reset or was it Hard factory reset! it fixed my problem!
it will definetly help! 4 sure!
Yes, first the factory reset and then you could think about Custom ROM's and better radio.img's
Thanks for the replies guys...will bite the bullet and factory reset first...go from there...

My advice: BetterBatteryStats and try to get the fuel gauge to recalibrate to some default state.

I've now got the former, guess Im looking for apps that are causing partial wake locks...just offending apps hogging the mill really?
The latter, whats the best way to get the fuel gauge to recalibrate...factory reset..battery removal and soft reset?
Hi, sorry to hear about you battery issue.
I also upgraded to sense 3.0 on T-mobile. I think if anything my battery is slightly better. I also find sense 3.0 better for various reasons.
I no longer keep 3g on all the time, but I get about 2days out of my phone.
I think your problem is not with sense3.0, but some application draining the battery.

I believe you just pull the battery for a while and then put it back in.
Same here

Anyone who has done much flashing of custom roms knows that every once in a while, you gotta pull the battery to stop bootloops or other nonsense. What do you do in the case of having a non-removable battery? I've been wondering this for a little while ha
Long press power is like disconnecting the battery.

well the ONEX has an unremovable battery too so you just hold the power button for 10 seconds and it will restart as if you pulled the battery, so i think the ONE will be the same
Awesome, thanks guys
IMO, thats better than a battery pull. How often have you had a nice case on your frozen phone. It's a 5 second battery pull that turned into a nice 1-2 minute hassle. This is awesome when your on a time constraint and busy at the same time.
After seeing the information from the S4, I am happy to say the HTC One will be my next phone when it is released.
Seriously, even with Sammys just holding power is better then a battery pull.

Word, basically why I am not fretting over the battery situation anymore.
I haven't had my s3 battery out in months and been through 2 OTA updates as well. Just reset phone, done.
Sent from a galaxy far away!
Since the last update (4.2.2) has anyone found their phone slows down, almost like power saving has been enabled?
Clearing ram and closing all apps makes no difference, but rebooting makes it run normally again.
The phone is relatively warm but not being hammered by running 3d games or anything.
Not sure if related but I notice I have around 30% battery left when it happens.
Thanks
