I figured I would do a real world test using the new Lenovo ThinkPad tablet. I used it most of the day with the screen on auto. Used web browsing, YouTube, Loaded some apps, and read a magazine in Zino app. After 11 hours and 20 minutes I have 16% left. So this is on par with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10. This will get me all do use of the ThjnkPad tablet.

I am also looking for a good baterry life Tablet.. this helped me.
thanks.
My ThinkPad Tablet has also very good battery life!
One day is no problem at all (surfing, one movie, youtube, music, kindel magazine)!!
I also have no problem getting through an entire day with my Thinkpad Tablet. Love it!
The past two days my TPT was chaging very slowly. Even after 8 hours it wouldnt charge. Today I restored the tablet and it charged from 75% to full very quickly. Just wondering what might of caused this. No new programs added. Never had this problem with my Samsung Galaxy Tab. Hopefully this won't be a issue down the road

Lenovo ThinkPad is perfect! I wanna get one for a long time.Saving money……
Can we get a forum for this tablet?
I just purchased the 64GB model that includes the stylus from Buy.com for $602 with free shipping! Was the best price I could find.
Now the wait....
Thats a great price for a 64GB TPT.

Curious????
Why does every tablet have a page on xda except for the Thinkpad Tablet?
Thats a great price for a 64GB TPT. I cannot agree with you anymore
Sadly my battery life seems to be very bad (Thinkpad 32GB).
After about 4-5h its down to 10% - and it seems to just stay or only be loading very slow when having it plugged in to usb while using it, or leaving it with display off. (2-3% after 1h loading). It is faster if I turn it off but I still wonder if this is a bug or whatever.
Can anyone confirm that problem so far? (or would it just make sense to restore it somehow or whatever?)
Realy hope for a forum about this tab soon - besides the battery, the market (where I just can not find a few apps like youtube that ...) and the fact that its pritty heavy - It really seems to be a great tab but Battery sucks atm
Thanx in advance,
H

you guys with the TPT, how is the battery life if you are predominantly inking?
Interesting in that test.

Inking I can easily make through the entire day with no problem and still have a good 60% left. Of course this using the TPT on and off through out the day at work.

Thanks for the info. I am wanting to use the TPT for university study next year, and for viewing lecture notes (PDF) and marking them up with my own notes.
thanks again

How is it for you owners on tethering when your out and about ? Is it annoying you have to turn on your wifi on the mobile and then turn it off again ? Is there a big drain on battery life on your mobiles ?
I am about to buy the asus but concerned with the hassel of using it outside with no 3g built in and relying on my Nesux One.
Also does the USB port on the keyboard dockcharge other plugged in device ?
Sorry if any of this has been asked before.
Tethering my TF was actually really annoying until I started using an app called AutoTether, which lets me turn the access point on my N1 on and off from the tablet. It's kind of like a remote control for tethring, and it really makes things much easier. Still kills my phone's battery life, but not as much as if I had the hotspot on all the time.
Seams great on my Galaxy sii, but only tested it at home for 30 min. Will be testing for longer and away from home soon.
Well I took the plunge and purchased the transformer last week from Comet online, very impressed, however the unit had a dead pxiel right in the middle of the screen so I am awaiting for an exchange but now I have just read the 3g is coming out in August so the question is should I now return and order the 3g version ? Or really it makes no difference if you tether.
Normally I always bring usb cable and while tethering I connect the usb cable so that the TF&dock will charge my phone.

Mine came with about 50% charge on it, but your mileage may vary.
Mine came with no charge at all (completely dead) and someone elses email and ebooks configured and configured for Staples in store wifi...
I think they were playing with it a bit. Works fine now, I deleted all that crap.
My two came with about 50% charge as well. Enough to play with for a while, but you shouldn't let the battery get very low before charging it, as its not good for the battery service life.

Mine came with 90% charge
Normally comes around 40% +- storage/shelf life is best at that charge. So short answer , charge it.
Mine came with 50% charge......according to the manual...first charge should be for four hours...

Its probably not as good but its good enough for some gingerbread. I get over 24 hrs by using autostarts to prevent apps from starting.

Once you turn off gps, wifi and mobile data, its really good on standby!

Battery life is very good I think it's like BETA2 it's been 1 day and 7 hours and I have 40% battery left with (1 hour off phone calls,20 minutes online anime , another 20-minute games, web surfing about 20 minutes).
Its great until you actually use it. Standby literally wont move the percentage but the second you go on browser or any game, better have a charger close to you

My experience over the last 2 days has been exactly the same as greakunit690on GingerStreak 2.4.2.2
Going to upgrade to 2.4.3 tonight, and hoping it gets a little better with a working GPS. I am very, very happy with the performance so far though.

5 days yeah, im assuming you mean 5 days on standby meaning you barely if ever used it in that time because it is practically impossible otherwise to get that amount of battery for 5 days.

Bang on man! think my worst case I have burned through a whole battery in a 4-5hours (chroot vnc gps etc) you know what though, it's not an iphone carry a spare!!! have a charger, have a battery pack charger, have a car charger!
the slightly more worrying factor for me is the power draw of some apps being greater than the draw on car charge.
I-on road for example probably the only truely useful AR app but V. battery intensive (gps and camera on full time go figure)
Lol - it doesnt matter how many days you got, i bet it was still only 3-4hrs screen on time like everyone else.

Just finished my latest raft of battery saving tweaks for my rooted s3 and here are the results.
I consider myself a medium user and managed to get 54 hours off my last charge. Interested to see how other people's experiences match up to mine.

Look at your Awake and Screen on times.
Might as well leave your mobile untouched for 2.5 days.
What matters is screen on time, not how long between charges, if you only use your phone for 5 mins a day you will wait a long time between charges. I can get 4 hours screen time which is decent (That's 4 hours in one day) So in theory if I use my phone for 1 hour a day I should get 4 days usage out of it.
All it shows is you don't use your phone much, show me a screen time of more than 6 hours and I will check out the battery tweak in use (as long as I can still use my phone)
Ok will post my screen on time stats from my next charge, pretty sure it's more than six hours.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
What's the point of having these devices if you'll use them like regular phones. I see no apps in your battery details. Obviously you're unlocking your device only for phone calls and swiping between screens and app drawer because of boredom.
Better to get a nokia 3310 and never care about battery again...
There you go Delsus just got home from a day out onsite plus the commute back & forth - 8 hours screen on time.

Cool, so what exactly is your "tweak"?
The second image is "screen on time" though
later edit:
one more,but not mine.
when i will have time i will try to see how much "screen on" i can reach (although i can reach 8 hours of text reading, i doubt that i will reach that playing NOVA.)

i am currently using Null 15.1 with siyah kernel
i used to let my Wifi on the whole time to test it and with screen on + downloads time to time..
Max time :8hrs
Min time : 7hrs.
A bit of background I use my phone for work & spend alot of time away from a power supplier (either a plug socket or my car charger) & was finding my battery was fried within about 4 hours of constant use.
By researching & implementing battery tweaks (which don't affect the performance of my phone) and I've managed to get it up to 8 hours.
I'd be happy to post my battery tweaks for others to use, what I'm interested in is other user's experiences to benchmark against.

The problem is a lot of noobs post junk or badly researched / bench marked stuff .or even exact same battery life posts week after week . We have three identical topics in the first three pages of General as it is .
Hence regular users are cynics after all it is a developers forum not some childish fix my phone look at my quadrant forum .
Well researched logical topics don't get attacked .
