Love love love the new update, but I didn't find anybody talking about not have the battery usage data in the settings-battery section. Mine just keeps saying not available. Anybody else seeing that or is it just me?

Yup same here. I updated early yesterday morning.
My speculation is that ICS uses a different algorithm for calculating battery usage, and it may require more data points... So maybe we are simply not using it long enough.

No, Asus just didn't (yet?) implemented it. It was the same with HoneyComb, battery usage was added very late in the process while Xoom users had it from the beginning. It probably requires a lot of work to get ported or sth.
Are you using the dock?
+1 same probleme, and for me the dock won't charge, but when I plug AC in dock it charge the TF101..? You think it's wrong upgrade or battery breack?

Are you sure the dock isn't charging?
Because there is no dock batt indicator in the ICS update, I check my dock batt level with Dual Battery Widget.
You can try to reflash the update and do a full wipe.
The dock firmware wasn't updated and i guess it's the source of many problems, including the battery status not being available.
Me too and no dock here.
Yep.
It's the same as early honeycomb. Let's play the waiting game
Thanks for the replies guys, helps to know I'm not just doing something wrong.

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.

So I finally gave up waiting on Motorola and switched my UK Wifi to the US rom. I unlocked, flashed the relevant images and did not relock; then got the OTAs for 3.1 and 3.2. Everything seemed fine but now I've noticed the battery is dropping significantly quicker now with the same usage. I've also checked the battery usage and noticed that there is no "Tablet Idle" entry, so does that mean its constantly staying awake? And does anyone know how to fix it?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
my battery life improved with 3.2
I did exactly the same, install the stock US rom on my non-US xoom and update to 3.1 then 3.2, and I noticed the same battery life drop.
I noticed that my Xoom was staying awake pretty much the whole time the screen was off so tried uninstalling a few apps and sure enough that solved it. If you have the CNN app then try removing that for starters

Hello
My friend have a Nexus S (9020A) the problem is when the battery dies it's impossible to charge the phone, it won't turn on! I have tried with a lot of batteries now and it kills all of them! it works like normal when you don't let the battery die completely but it should not do this anyway, what is wrong?
I think I know what your talking about.
The phone consumes more power than it receives when its using data. Do if your at 5% and charging, but also using the internet. You will last for mere minutes.
Best thing to do is to simply let it charge and not touch it when its doing so. You can still hotspot,text talk. But streaming music, data apps (like tapatalk or skype) and web browser WILL KILL YOUR BATTERY WHILE YOU CHARGE.
But if your saying it won't charge. Sorry. No idea

What? That's just nonsense.
If you turn the phone off and then try to charge it with the battery in, you're not able to charge it?

no, the phone kills the batteries, I would have test the batteries on other phone if I had, but atm I just have the Nexus S, it won't let me charge the batteries when they are dead.. if there is 1% left I can charge but when it dies it's dead forever... there must be something wrong with the phone, right?
Try wiping battery stats?

don't work.. when battery have some % left the phone works like normal... but if I let it die, then it's dead.. I can't even turn on the phone, it's like there is no battery inserted.
The phone should shut down automatically when the voltage reaches a certain threshold. Is the phone not doing this? These batteries are not meant to drop below a certain voltage and doing so could damage them.

Are you running a modded rom/kernel/calibration tool that let your battery go below the min voltage threshold?

This is so insanely inaccurate. Using the hotspot is one of the most battery intensive operations the phone can carry out. Streaming music, Skype, and browsing don't even hold a candle to it. The only thing that comes close would be navigation (and that can be even worse sometimes), followed by talking on the phone by a pretty decent, but not massive margin. It also depends on the charger. Where do you get your information?

if the phone is doing the same with all type of ROMS, then it may be hardware related issue.
I have been running various Roms since the start but never faced this issue. A lot of times battery has drained fully. With some of the new roms that are there my phone lasts more than a day with Data on Roaming full time.
I know most phone batteries will not be chargeable if you deplete them completely. Usually this happens by throwin it in the drawer and not using it for a long time but ive never heard of it happening just by using the phone. Id say its definitely a hardware issue

Any news on the battery fix?? Because 4.0.3 is terrible. **
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
let the battery fully discharge and then charge it. I was having a similar situation but I found out that the battery charge wasn't displaying correctly. A complete discharge recharge cycle improve the situation, although it still doesn't so charge up to 100%, stays at 93/94%.

Did you do a full wipe after you updated to 4.0.3? I'm seeing about the same battery usage after the update (maybe even longer battery life). There are some apps that are not very compatible with ICS that could be causing problems as well.

Yes, I did a full wipe using the flashable ROM-Wiper and Dalvik-Wiper.
As for apps, I don't have many apps. I just use this phone for messaging, RSS reading, and some little browsing.
Why don't you do a manual wipe. That might be better. Also mess around with some CPU and governor settings (which includes flashing a new kernel and ROM).

Yes charging time has been drastically reduced on the HTC One after the 4.2.2 update.
My Galaxy S4 charges up super fast, and one of the big complaints I had with my HTC One was the extremely slow charging time. Looks like HTC took care of that and it charges up just as fast as my S4.
Now if only HTC would fix that damn LED notification light so that it will stay on for more than 5 minutes, the phone would be PERFECT!
Yep much quicker here too.
Good then I thought I was going crazy but as long as everyone else is the same it's ok

It's interesting if HTC have made it quicker to charge? Wanted to protect it so they made it take a long while, but now they have decided it was too slow I guess?
So the Qualcomm Quick Charge is possibly enabled now? If so that's brilliant, I always seem to have found the HO pretty slow at charging.
Confirmed ? Hadn't noticed myself as I usually charge it before I go to bed ...

Confirmed by me too. Charging is faster now, since updated to 4.2.2.
How much different is it now? I wonder why they decided to make the charge shorter.

Charging time dropped by at least half for me but I start to wonder if it's gonna affect the battery life coz of course we can't replace the thing
Just to claryfy it was not so much the system upgrade but new firmware I think new hboot and all
I was before on android revoluton hd 4.2.2 with 1.44 hboot and did not notice quick charge but after upgrading to official with new hboot it all changed

Yes that was the case.
Now we'll have complaining about losing this.
Reducing the charging time by half is great. I normally charge it while going to bed, but some times I need a quick 30-45 min charge in the afternoon if I used it a lot during the day. This would help a lot of people for sure.
The battery life expectancy isn't worrying I guess.
