Has anyone else noticed excessive battery use with this? It is always at the top of my drain list... Even higher than Screen.

I looked at my battery usage on my Wifi only flyer and noticed that cell standby was account for over 70% of my battery usage (there are different categories for WiFi usage). This does not make sense, anyone else noticing the same thing?

I had this too. Mine is a 3G version but I am WiFi a lot too. I am having some success with Juice Defender available in the market. I am using its tablet mode which when connected to WiFi disables the cell completely and has definitely helped with battery drain overall. I reckon I get 10-20% better battery life now overall.
Don't have that problem on my WiFi Flyer. In 8h 17m on battery, my display is 82%, wifi 7%tablet idle 4% Android os 3%, Dolphin HD 3%, bluetooth 1%. Still have 70% battery life. Haven't used it much today.
yup... just turn it to airplane mode... you can still use the wifi and no cell standby issues... also makes me wonder if the cell radios are in there and if there is a way to get them on a network
Two questions:
1. what sort of battery discharge rate would indicate that my tab has a problem? i was reading using aldiko last night for about an hour, and the battery went from about 85% to 70%. it seems like this is higher than it should be for just passively reading an ebook. thoughts? does this battery burn rate seem legit? how do i know when i have a problem? is there a good way to test my battery in terms of whether or not i am getting teh batery life i should?
2. the battery stats in "settings" are not working properly. there is no breakdown of which components are using teh battery. there is nothing under teh graph at all. any one else have this issue? thoughts on how to fix?
I'm experiencing legitimate cell standby and what I assume is low signal battery drain on an SCH-I535.
This is not a case of the "reporting bug" which incorrectly identifies cell standby usage.
You can clearly see the battery drop off a cliff when I get to work. My location DOES have low signal strength, however the phone sits at 1-2 bars. I've turned off 4G and this has not helped at all. Cell standby usage is (correctly) reporting 70-80% usage when I'm in this location and only single digits at home. I've had a Droid X in this same location for two years and never experienced this probelm.
Are there any other suggestions other than turning of 4G?
suggestion: go to the right forum for your phone
So ive been using omega v27 based on the official Poland Jelly Bean rom, and i have noticed that my battery is draining quicker when im on wifi... i used better battery stats and my wifi seems to be keeping my phone awake unless i put on settings "turn wifi off during sleep" on never.
I wanted to know if someone else is experiencing something similar to this, i thought my drain should be higher on 3G/Hdspa, however this is not the case.
thanks.
I thought battery drain should be higher when using wifi
nope.. usually the phone consumes less battery on wifi.. well at least thats how i thought it should be
In my case wifi doesn't keep the phone awake, or at least not awake like with softlocker which causes much faster battery drain. With wifi always on, mine can standby more than 1 hour for every 1% battery according to battery monitor widget.
seems like i fixed it, no idea how though
I am looking for some thoughts on troubleshooting a mysterious battery drain issue.
My TF-201 and dock used to hold a charge for a week or more when doing nothing. Recently my TF201 will drain the battery in less than a day even when docked. I notice this when I try to use it and it is dead. Of course, once it's dead, I can't view batter stats or use Better Battery stats to see what is causing the drain. The data is gone.
Here's what's happening. The Asus is docked and closed and will idle for a day or two and I might get a 10% drop in battery charge. Then, it just drops to zero the next day.
I am examining if there are any events that are schedule to occur that might keep Wi-Fi on or the CPU out of a deepsleep, either or both would drain the batter, but since I haven't caught it at a low enough point that shows massive drain without being completely drained, I haven't had much luck.
I haven't tried leaving it undocked to see if the problem persists (if it didn't, that indicates a problem with the keyboard/dock. It did persist, that would indicate a problem elsewhere).
Any ideas on how to proceed?

Hi,
If you check the battery usage you can see what app is using your battery. Maybe an app or a process running and this causing the drain. If you cannot see anything there I would do a factory reset..
