The phones battery graph keeps going lower even when screen if off ??
Usually it would go in a straight line ow it just dips
It went from straight 100%- 58%
Is it normal or am i overreacting ??! As the screen was barely on all the time
Also i only use Edge not 3g and And edge is only activated by me when screen is on , otherwise its off
Apps which used battery
Partial Wavelocks
The AudioOut one is 12%

Process
Rom: [ROM] [NEO/V] AOSP 4.0.3 ICS BETA1 [hotfix2] | Fast and Clean
Kernel: Provided one
Can anyone help ?

its normal drain

Something seems to keep the phone in awake state, won't let it sleep.

i use the same ROM with the provided (ICS beta) kernel, including all the hotfixes, just without the on-screen buttons. and i have no issue with battery dips/drains whatsoever

Never understood why you guys use these on screen buttons :/ like the phone didn't have buttons.. lol
Only makes the screen smaller and uglier

I Shall reflash again
And im getting rid of onscreen buttons i guess
It Kinda does get on my nerves ~_~
Still need to figure out whats causing it to be awake :/
Ill reflash tho

No point in wiping bat stat file. It's deleted/rewritten every time you disconnect charger from phone.

We use them hardware keys because we can simple

70% Battery Usage by Google Maps!

Any idea what's up with this? Surely this isn't meant to happen. I don't even use google maps, don't think I've even opened it ever.

EDIT: Saw that there was an update pending. Installing, will report what happens.
Mine is almost always 90% display, even though I have all of the power saving options set on my Mesmerize... My battery lasts maybe 8-9 hours, but usually more like 6-7. It's terrible. Any ideas?
Its a known bug, install autostart from market and desible the autostart option for google maps. Try this and you will get a lot more battery.

sorry to revive and thread. I installed autostart, but not sure exactly how to disable the google maps or other apps. Any clue or pointers?
TIA.
Try using titanium backup (free) and freeze google maps or , if you don't use it, delete it using the same.

Whoa. Do you have the touchscreen bug fix kernel applied? Because without that CPU usage on touching the screen is way too high and that would cause a lot more battery usage. 90% is still too much though.
And yeah, I updated to the latest version and it doesn't seem to be doing any weird stuff now. I'll keep a watch over the course of the day.
this is a bug that is stated somewhere in the thread.. either Cyanmod7 or Gingerbread. both have these problems.

Widgetlocker draining battery

Hi. Yesterday I installed WidgetLocker and there's a huge battery drain. Phone was awake every time - also when screen is off. Here's a screenshot.

How can I fix this?
Thanks.
i have similar problems with the awake time but i can't seem to find the application responsible for it. How do you know that is widgetlocker(i dont have it install)?
you just installed it and the drainage happened or do you have some other application that keeps a history track of various applications battery usage?

I installed WidgetLocker and the battery life became horrible.
(You see that in the screenshot).
I have widgetlocker until now and it has not caused me any problems with the battery so far(if i'm gonna date it it's around the release of void.delta iirc) Did you try rebooting the phone after installing it?

Oh, I think I didn't.
I'll install WidgetLocker, reboot the phone and test.
Edit: Till now phone isn't awake every time, battery drain reduced.

I used it for over 3 days and did not have any problems with battery backup. Andy's ROM with Andy's kernel was what I was using at that time.
Installed two days ago. No battery drain.

hmm thnx mate but i used 3G in between ..! and is the battery life even worsen in WIFI+3G Mode ?

If you enable 3G and WiFi at the same time Android will only use one connection, first will try to connect via WiFi and if not will connect via 3G. It won't connect via WiFi AND 3G at the same time.
Yes its normal.
looks pretty similar to what I have seen on mine.
The main exception is the Awake time without the sreen being on? Maybe something still running. I found my biggest battery killer for backround apps was my Jorte / calendar running when using alarms on appointments.
stopped that and much better!
Alright thnx mate and how do u came to know that which app created problems regarding awake ?
seems to be awake for quite a bit there in the middle without the screen on. is that just music streaming??
its normal

Better Battery stats is very helpfull for seeing what is potentially eating battery life, whilst the screen is of.
This is a thread on maximising battery life - quite helpfull! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351663&highlight=better+battery+stat

Here is thread for better battery stats, well worth a read all the way through the first 2 posts - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
The partial Wakelocks was the most telling for me, cant remember the exect procces now but for me it was something like: android.starting.alarm.calendar (I know thats not it exact, but it was always high!!)

[Q] Screen flickering

anyone have their screen keep flickering especially when you click recent apps button in home screen and youtube?
the flickering is getting more worst and happens more often. btw it only happens when the recent apps is full of apps.
is it ICS bug or hardware issue?
I have it too, all of us do. It's a software bug that started with ICS. It is kinda annoying sometimes but I wouldn't worry about it to much. Hopefully Asus will have this fixed in future updates.
My understanding is that this is normal and designed to reduce battery drain. The screen will constantly try and adapt to use the least amount of power. I notice putting the tablet into "performance" will alleviate this, but will obviously drain the battery quicker.
that happen to me n i called asus n they said to send it to them but wat happen was i reset it to stock as new and wat happen was it seems it crash on men then all of a sudden it went to CWM recovery and stared bootloop which now i am stuck i put a rom in it and does nothing so now i am stuck real stuck

Happens on many tabs.
Running ICS on Gtab 10.1 wifi.
Screen flickering since moved to ICS CM9 (4.0.3 and 4.0.4) and yes seems more constant while the recent apps is full. I still think some apps make it worse and more constant, still cant understand witch ones.
Setting CPU to "performance" also helps, but like stated previously your battery will end soon with a cost of only 10% less flickering.
Cheers.
