Every time I run Autodesk's Sketchbook Pro on my stock 3.1 I notice the app consumes a lot of battery power, has anyone experienced this?
Yes. This is a very intense graphic program.I do not think they throttle it at all.
Anything from autodesk.or adobe will be the same way.

Having wifi/bluetooth/GPS etc all cause bad battery drain and can cause drain like you described depending on which rom you have installed and which apps you have on your device. Also disabling 'incoming beams' in settings also helps improve battery.
Do a search for 'battery' and you will find numerous threads on battery drain and causes.
Also check to make sure you have no apps running in the background which may add to your drain.
thank you fallen spartan. responding to your post, i am using dutty 3.3 xt rom and it absolutely kills battery, even listen to music for an hour already drains 20% if i actually use my phone to watch a 60 min of videos, 2 hours of music, and play 5-10 min of teeter, my phone does not even last the day. not even close to it. i cant really find an answer looking at other threads cuz they r way worse than my issue. but still for a high-end device like this to have this low of battery life frustrates the hell out of me

Craz,
Well, the thing is, battery technology is the slowest improving tech compared to every other hardware piece in mobile technology. There are definitely much better forms of battery technology, but there is still a while before it even reaches us consumers.
Cheers.

WIFI drains battery fast unless you select best battery mode (maximum power save) and got it mostly idle, messenger or light websurfing doesnt drain the battery has fast has streaming music or downloading some files. The drain caused by heavy wifi use also harms to much the device thus reducing his life and mostly killing the battery much faster. It's just the way things work, don't blame the device for it because it's the same on all devices.

Don't blame battery technology, wifi wastes to much power in form of heat and most of the time they are using to much power than they need to send the signals, they should be more energy efficient.
In the interest of branching out of the main thread, I thought I'd start a thread regarding battery life- how many hours are you guys getting? For those who have somewhat decent battery life, what tweaks/settings are you using?
I went and disabled background data syncing hoping this would at least help improve battery life only to find that even idle (with no real use at all), this thing eats battery like there is no tomorrow.
I think with super light usage the most I've gotten is about 4-5 hours. There HAS to be a way to improve on this. I can never walk around without my charger in my bag- that is just crazy.
So any ideas or suggestions would be great! (By the way, I'm running Dexter's latest rom on top of eLocity's official firmware update).
I'm posting 4 hours 54 minute uptime right now with a quick 10 minute game of fruit slice, light to moderate web browsing, and moderate to heavy instant messaging. I have 29% battery left.
I generally set my apps to sync no more frequently than 30 minutes at the least. I turn the screen off when I walk away to do something. Other than that the tablet stays running on my couch side all day.
I have also seen it go for days on standby mode without going dead. I'm happy with the battery life. My Archos isn't much better, and is much less powerful of a device.
I'm also on ElociMod (which is based off the newest firmware... )
cant get more than 4 hours no matter what i do. running dexter's modc
We might be able to help the battery life using some clever tricks with SetCPU. I know it helped on my Pandigital Novel, and 2/3 on that device was used to power the screen, as opposed to ~1/3 for the processor. I'm gonna guess it might be the complete opposite of that on the A7.

I don't think SetCPU works on the A7 or any other Tegra2 at least not yet.

It doesn't... it will FC.
CPU Tuner installs and runs. It shows a min of 260 MHz and a max of 1000 MHz, and it has profiles based on battery charge. I just installed it, so I don't know what to expect.
I wanted to resurrect this thread and post my experience with A7 battery life.
I am running Dexter 1.2, brightness at 35%, WiFi always on, Bluetooth mostly off, screen timeout at 2 minutes. Syncing three mail accounts, weather and Google calendar. Limited or no background syncing of other apps.
My typical day with the device consists of;
a full charge in the morning
3 to 4 hours of standby time
30-45 minutes of web use
another 3 to 4 hours of standby
3 to 4 hours of heavy web, texting, reading, and games
I place the A7 back on the charger at night and it usually has about 20%-25% charge left.
I figure I am getting about 4-5 hours of use and close to 8 hours of standby each day fairly easily.
This battery life is very comparable to my Droid 2 Global.
The ipad battery has more than 4 times the capacity of the A7, but only twice the run time.
Might be a silly question, but what is everyone's battery life when playing games? I find that my battery is terrible when playing a decent amount of games, which makes sense, but from what everyone else seems to be pointing too, and hour of a game shouldn't obliterate the battery.
Anyone have any ideas?
for me it drains 3 to 4 times faster, when i am gaming compare to when i am doing more basic task. But that is expected.
Hey when i play nba 2k14 i lose 1% of
Every minute of gameplay
I'm using SetCPU to under clock my cpu when gaming so, it doesn't drain battery as much and doesn't get as hot as usual. And strangely I don't really see performance drop in most game's at 1,5GHz, it's like they using more cpu power than they really need.

So i got mine on release day like many and it didnt seem to have a issue with battery drain. Now it does and it also seems to be running slower.
The battery drain comes with internet browsing and it goes fast! The slower speed also comes with browsing but also games, they are lagging. I have installed any suspicious apps or anything. Any advice on what to do?
Hi all!
I don't know you, but one of the main concerns I have about my tab is the battery life.
I don't know, but there's something about your tablet having the same or lower screen on time / battery life that your phone that seems wrong to me.
Anyway, this thread is to share our experiences with battery life, consisting basically of:
1. The ROM we're using
2. The governor (cpu and hotplug)
3. The apps for saving battery
4. Any other tweaks battery related
A print of battery stats and screen on time (sot) would be more than welcome, if not just share the values.
This way we can help each other to squeeze the maximum out of this 4800 mA battery, and the snapdragon 800
Thanks!
I find the battery drain in CM13 odd, for example if you run a game the battery drains at an alarming rate, like 50% down to 20% in 10 minutes, but if you power off the device it goes back up to 50% on next reboot
though perhaps my batt is just getting old now... :......(

It is getting old. Had it replaced earlier this year, best choice I made...

maybe I still get aroumd 8 hours so not too bad, average use drains around 270-600mA , just need to stay away from heavy 3d games, and full brigntness

Which ROM and which apps to save battery?

I have been using CM13 official build , and also use greenify to freeze all background apps
